I’ve been kinda wanting the progressives to split off from dems for a while now but honestly the shitty dems splitting off from progressives is probably better. Let the people that actually want to do right by their constituents keep the democratic party. All those “center left” people can go create their bullshit third party and fuck off. You won’t hear me complain.

The idea that he doesn’t know how to properly use his own social media platform is honestly hilarious.

“Y’know, Barrack kinda looked sharp in that tan suit.”

People are still trying to push this nonsense that democratic candidates need to appeal to the objectively dumbest people in this country in order to be a viable candidate. Its ridiculous. Red voters are only ever going to vote red. They always have and they always will. Left leaning people in this country outnumber right leaning people by a wide margin (because reality has a left leaning bias). The issue is that dem individuals often just don’t vote when a candidate is put forward who is cowtowing to the right. The right still votes right and the left doesn’t vote. Then we get what we have now. If dems put forward a politician that progressive voters actually want they’ll have a much better chance. And AOC is probably a more well liked dem politician right now (among the left) than anyone else except maybe Bernie. But he’s probably too old at this point. So AOC makes the most sense right now to me and probably anyone else with a brain.

Its over half a mil actually. Her goal is a million. The fuck people?

If I’m understanding correctly there’s two books being removed. And the Smithsonian is saying the loan agreement with the owner of the books, Rev. Brown, expires in May. So they’re returning them to him to rotate in new exhibits per regular operating procedure. If that’s true I don’t really understand the issue here. Rev. Brown seems to be under the impression that they’re removing the items because of Trump’s order. But he, at least in this article, doesn’t even address the Smithsonian’s explanation so I don’t really know what’s going on here. But it really doesn’t seem like this is because of Trump’s policy. If it was why would they just be removing these two books and nothing else?

Then Elon is going to tweet out some nonsense misrepresenting the report just like he did with their report they put out last September showing mishandled government spending to the tune of 2.3 trillion dollars between 2003 and 2023. (He first lied and said doge found the mishandled payments when they didn’t. And also said the full 2.3 trillion were Medicaid payments to individuals outside the US. Which was just a blatant fabrication)

This is only “baffling” if you’re a total fucking moron who hasn’t been paying attention.

Until I can run special K or RTX HDR to inject HDR into games that don’t support it I’m not going to switch to Linux on my main gaming PC. Its hooked up to my Nice OLED TV in my living room and games look too damn good with HDR to give that up for Linux. Yes I know HDR works on Linux now. But it only works with games that support HDR and the only “Auto HDR” solution I’ve found is a janky reshade plugin that only works with dx11 games and doesn’t really produce very good results. I’m really holding out hope that valve figures out a nice auto HDR solution they can build into gamescope.

Eh I see the point you’re making but cartels in Mexico are a whole other breed to what’s here in the US. Our politicians aren’t being murdered in droves by cartels like they are in Mexico.

Hey man, there’s no need to lump the taint lickers in with this guy.

He can’t just “do it anyway” if people refuse to comply with his orders and the courts refuse to back him up. What do you think Trump is going to do? Walk over to somebody’s desk, pick them up out of their chair, and physically throw them out the building himself?

“We got rid of the lidar sensors on our cars because they weren’t needed. Instead we zip tied some gopros to the front. Trust me. They’re just as good. You definitely won’t die.”

And this guys proposal isn’t to punish the administration. It’s to make the administration ineffectual by having judges ignore cases brought forward by the administration until the administration complies with other court orders.

For instance. Trump tries to fire a guy. Guy says “no you don’t have the authority.” Trump says “yes I do. I’ll go to the courts and get them to prove you wrong.” Courts go “don’t care. You’re ignoring [some other court order against trump]. We wont hear this case until you comply with the previous order.” The result would be that the guy keeps his job despite whether or not Trump can or can’t fire him. At least that’s this guy’s idea to my understanding.

I’m also not trying to say it would be effective or even remotely doable. Just pointing out that criticizing the plan for something it’s not attempting to do doesn’t make any sense.

The whole point of the plan, if you were to read the article, is to deal with an administration not obeying the rule of law.

Right. So if I have he/him in my email signature I get fired. But if i have hugely racist and problematic tweets that are less than a year old while having almost no experience or credentials whatsoever other than being a little buddy buddy with Musk I get to push out dangerous untested code to the most important payment system in the country so musk can block social security benefits for Grandma like he blocks tweets talking about how terrible a father he is. Got it.
