3·6 months agoThis is the best summary I could come up with:
The GOP found their token.
The original article contains 982 words, the summary contains 5 words. Saved 99%.
23·6 months agoDamage already done, as always. They lie because it works. They retract because that doesn’t.
It appears to be a Sisyphean effort to prevent their comments from being scraped by AI.
Something I’m not sure is talked about enough that is a consequence of that decision is they also removed enforcement of the 14th from the judicial branch, for no reason. The question was narrow: “Can States do this?” The ruling was: “No, they can’t, only Congress.” A better ruling (barring, “yes they can”) would have been: “No, they can’t.” Which would leave room for a convicted insurrectionist to be barred by the courts by said conviction.
Based on the actual decision Trump could lose the insurrection trial in DC and still be President because the Supreme Court just removed their ability to say otherwise. For no reason other than to protect Trump as far as I can tell. They’re not so stupid they’d remove power on accident, not to mention the more liberal justices and Barrett point this problem out explicitly in their concurrence.
All of this is moot because none of these federal cases will be decided by the election. The SCOTUS taking up Trump’s obnoxious immunity argument instead of saying the appeals court got it right already guaranteed that.
Shocking no one. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if she’s literally in contact with Trump. Through an intermediary or directly.
4·1 year agoTry turning off “force SSL” “HTTP/2” and “HSTS” then try to renew. If that works it’s a known bug and there’s a fix in this thread:

2·1 year agoPoland has purportedly come to terms with the fact that Ukraine is on the verge of defeat.
That’s a hell of a premise to build an article on without any evidence of the claim whatsoever.
Zero disagreement. I think you’re using “natural” where I would use “intended.” Cheers.
First, some of you seem to be missing the word “unfortunately” in my comments and in my defense I was young and raised that way. Second, social policy wise yes but am I/others not allowed to learn, grow, and change? It is not a natural progression just a likely one, again unfortunately. Third, sucking Russia’s dick and selling US intelligence? Fully bonkers. Opposite of natural in my personal opinion.
This stupid response is why I hate the quote from this article. It will be taken out of context (it already is in this post) so these people can make it sound personal and frame it as such. Just take the mugshot and when challenged say you’re treating him like everyone else, don’t crow about it beforehand.
Having said that I don’t think acting like an adult will have an impact on people like jcb2016 so maybe I’m wrong.
The guy hoarded nuclear secrets, attack plans, DEFENSE plans, ordered people to “find” votes. As an old guy who unfortunately was once a Reagan republican the GOP acting like this is mind blowing to me. The man is a traitor.
9·1 year agoPeople have complained about the “first come first served” mod problem for years. It’s 100% Reddit’s MO not to fix something until it’s made national news and fixing it is self-serving.
Beatbump for YouTube music. Lidarr/deemix for downloading.
So far I’m a big fan of kbin, it’s basically Lemmy and Mastodon together. They are definitely creaking under the strain but I’m excited for what’s in store over there. Will probably be my main account once things settle down.
Agree entirely except the part about the people keeping a Republican Senate. The Senate is rigged. 1 person from Wyoming should not have the same power as 65 from California. The entire point of the Senate is to rig things against what most people want if it goes against what small states want.
“According to James Madison, “The use of the Senate is to consist in proceeding with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom, than the popular branch.””
By far the popular vote is not for the GOP and hasn’t been since 2004. The Senate makes sure that doesn’t matter. Gerrymandering the house does the rest.
Similar to the Senate issue, the last time a Republican won both the popular vote and the electoral vote was again 2004. The electoral college is the same problem compounded. The people haven’t picked a Republican president in 20 years.
