Rule of Law is being replaced by Rule of Power

I'm happy she made a stand, and its being talked about. I, like you, doubt anything will really come of it, but it does highlight the change.

They could get a crew van, fit more in it, and still fit in a standard parking spot.

Probably also quite a few thousands of dollars cheaper.

Had to reset the clock on my stove, microwave, coffee maker, and cars.

It’s no where near obsolete as you seem to imply.

The GOP is fully to blame.

They sell the American public on the idea that any taxes are bad, no matter what they are meant to fund. When they are in power they cut public services, give tax breaks to corporations, and schedule tax raises to occur when they’re out of power.

When they aren’t in power they yell about taxes nonstop to make sure democrats are too scared to re-fund them, so they don’t get voted out.

Cycle after cycle, and now there’s no money to give the teachers.

I dislike that slime ball as much as the next person, but I’m sure they are moving away from the shooter, so he’s shielding her more than the other way around.

It does add context though.

If I just said “it adds context”, it’s not seen as a counterclaim to your claim. It’s just a new standalone statement.

The redactions never travel as fast or far as the original message. They know this.

Now is when Democratic states should freeze paying the federal government, to cover the funds they won't be getting back. see how the scales tip.

Recklessly endangering the health of an entire democratic system for short term monetary gain is definitely little e evil.

One thing I learned way too late in respect to this, confidence isn’t being sure that you will succeed, it’s being sure that you’ll be okay if you don’t.

Using git (or equivalent) is pretty important. Using github is pretty optional.

Outbreak also had a technical meaning.

Outbreak: When there are more disease cases than what is usually expected:

  • For a given time (e.g., within 2 weeks)

  • Within a specific location (e.g., linked by institution, affiliation, exposure, small geographic area)

If outbreaks were normal, it wouldn’t be an outbreak.

It doesn’t have to all be bad. If the city could get the head out of their ass, they could sort out the codes and get it done. Let people who work downtown live downtown. Shrink the driving and parking infrastructure, turn it into a walkable, bikeable area.

Rents/leases could go way down for the mom and pop shops that can survive in the new design.

Other businesses can move further out where the people are, so the suburbs can become more walkable.

If we made the focus on reducing waste, and making things easy for everyone, rather than how to make rich people richer, theres lots of solutions.

A lot of times places like that won’t look at you if you’re overqualified, because they don’t want to spend the time and effort to train you, knowing or expecting you to be looking elsewhere from day 1.

It might be that, but I don't think that makes it any less dangerous as a path to set precedent to start going after any political group that they don't like.

Couple that with an illegal, but unchallenged executive order (not implemented yet) to prevent candidates from running, or appearing on ballots who are 'under investigation', and the mid-terms could be completely derailed by bogus charges on key candidates, cementing the current administrations strangle-hold.

They've already shown they have to problem doing the exact things they accused the Democrats of doing, so I wouldn't put this past them at all.

It’s not popular amongst those with f*ck trudeau bumper stickers on their jacked up, under-utilized vanity trucks.

But nothing tied to his name is popular with them.

They didn't have a Project 2025 game plan going in like they do now.
