Biden’s debate performance spurs Democratic panic about his ability to lead party against Trump
  • Would be a great move to pick someone new but right before the nomination. Lots of independents want anyone but these 2 old dudes. If either party picked a different candidate, I think they would easily take the White House.

    (Unlikely) but if the dems really just had biden out there to take the brunt of trumps attacks up until the nomination, then a majority of trumps platform (biden bad) goes out the window, while the dems platform (trump bad) gets to remain in place.

    Would be a galaxy brain strategy but I don’t think anyone in politics would be smart enough to pull something like that off.

    I'm shocked how much the Appstore sucks in 2024
  • I don’t think I’ve ever gone on the App Store hoping it would have good recommendations for new things to look at. Do people find good apps that way? 99.9% of the time opening an App Store I smash the search button so nothing loads and search for the app I want.

    Judge mocks X for “vapid” argument in Musk’s hate speech lawsuit
  • . "‘Oh, what’s foreseeable is that things can change, and therefore, if there’s a change, it’s 'foreseeable.’ I mean, that argument is truly remarkable."

    Judge is having none of it haha.

    MAGA freaks out after Fox News reports Obama in top 10 presidents — and Trump in dead last
  • From wiki

    The first discussion of a U.S. Space Force occurred under President Dwight Eisenhower's administration in 1958 and it was nearly established in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative. The 2001 Space Commission argued for the creation of a Space Corps around 2007–2011, but due to the September 11 attacks and war on terror any plans were put on hold. In 2017, Representatives Jim Cooper and Mike Rogers' proposal for a Space Corps passed the House but failed in the Senate. In 2019, the House and Senate resolved their differences to pass the United States Space Force Act. It was signed into law by President Donald Trump, establishing the U.S. Space Force as the first new independent military service since the Army Air Forces were reorganized as the U.S. Air Force in 1947.[9]

    If you want to credit it to Eisenhower sure, but still technically it was established under trump so that’s the best I have for remembering what he did in office.

  • Usually when I try to think of it all I can remember is space force. Still a stupid name, and I can’t believe they couldn’t come up with something better.

    Not sure if that’s achieved though, but was prolly a good thing to have a dedicated group to it then funneling through the Air Force

    So is the US slipping into Civil War?
  • Same. Tons of hard working people that do a lot behind the scenes. But South Park probably got it right with ‘they took errr jerbs!’ Jobs they wouldn’t do themselves anyway.

    So is the US slipping into Civil War?
  • Eh. Something clearly needs to be done, and the concerns aren’t being addressed (and haven’t been for awhile). Congress and the senate haven’t done anything aside from attempt to impeach hunter Biden (from who knows what) or show off his dick.

    Doubtful it’s any kind of civil war, but Texas (and other states) is being hit hard by the number of immigrants, and if the federal government can’t (or won’t?) do anything to curb it, makes sense that they will do something on their own.

    Trump Attorney Tells Judges Presidential Immunity Would Even Cover Assassinating Rivals, Selling Pardons
  • I don’t think any party would do it. To go further, why would any of them? When the votes become public knowledge from congress to impeach, what’s to stop the president ordering anyone who said yes from assassinating them before the senate goes for conviction?

    Either the president scares the senate away (in case they don’t convict and the president will know who said yes) or he goes to jail/is executed no matter how many they had killed.

    Even kill anyone you know will say yes before they vote to impeach. IMMUNITY!

    Supreme Court sidesteps decision on Trump presidential immunity claim in federal election interference case
  • Yea that’s the point. At some point could just be lazy and not take it and divert responsibility by agreeing with the lower courts, a lot easier then actually hearing it.

    At work I do a lot to avoid having more work come my way. If I can push it off. 9 times out of 10 I’m pushing it somewhere else.

  • Or tired of all the trump shit being flooded their way like the rest of the US.

    I know they are a majority conservative and want their candidate, but even if elected it’s not going to stop cases about him having to go to them and loading them up with more and more work. I’d be annoyed.

    Haley, DeSantis neck and neck for second in Iowa, Trump maintains wide lead: Poll
  • Agreed. I’d also just really like to have a choice of someone who will be alive in 10 years to see the results of the policies they make. Given the two current front runners, that’s very unlikely.

    Colorado Supreme Court kicks Donald Trump off the state's 2024 ballot for violating the U.S. Constitution
  • Yea fair enough. Just a different set of eyes is all. Thanks for the response!

    The lack of conviction is prolly the biggest hurdle here which makes me wonder who would, or even could, bring those charges (even if the lower court explicitly stated he did). Jack smith has his hands full and while interesting to follow it’s not a direct case of questioning insurrection. Curious as to where it all leads.

    End of the day, it starts to ask the question, which prolly ends at the Supreme Court no matter what.

  • It’s all up to interpretation though, you might not see it, or you might have heard it in a way, but it can be argued. Similar to the lower court judge saying so.

    Similarly one of the judge points out in the dissenting opinion there is no conviction of insurrection.

    So I still think C will win, but A or B is a possibility too.

    "In the absence of an insurrection-related conviction, I would hold that a request to disqualify a candidate under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is not a proper cause of action under Colorado’s election code. Therefore, I would dismiss the claim at issue here”

  • Going with C. Without explicit language to the president, they will need to interpret this to mean the president included, which may be up to anyone’s interpretation.

    I feel it should, however it could be argued it doesn’t.

    who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof

    Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android Authority
  • You can turn off iMessage in settings and disable the phone number from messages. Then use whatever messaging service you want with the phone number.

    Still not sure how it’s anti competitive to not allow others to use your own proprietary software when there are alternatives available, and they are not being restricted.

  • How is creating a proprietary service anti competitive? There are many other methods of messaging and Apple is not stoping anyone from using them.

    Kids being bullied in school has nothing to do with being anti competitive.
