And he’s actually been trying again recently as the auction gets closer. But people aren’t really following him to his new Twitter account

Congress has barely been able to pass critical funding bills. Do you really think they’re functional enough to pass highly technical and involved legislation for specific agencies?

It sounds like you haven’t seen any healthy ethnically non-monogamous relationships. That’s a shame. As a part of one, I’ve seen several others as well. It can work, if it’s done for the right reasons and if all partners respect each other.

But the fun thing is that all solar currently has a carbon cost associated with it. So as we’re trying to work our way out of this we’re also continuing to increase the carbon load. It’s a vicious cycle.

Sorry to hear you have a neurotransmitter deficiency. I hope you’re able to get some help for the symptoms.

It doesn’t seem like religion has made you very happy. Or very nice. I get that your username includes angry, and you seem to take that very seriously.

It also seems like you’re not very different from the people you claim are co-opting religion. You are cherry-picking the parts of Christianity that work well for you, while ignoring or downplaying the rest.

I know you’re not going to change your mind, but this approach certainly isn’t doing much to try and convert anyone.

But the Bible is very inconsistent on its messages, which is exactly why it can be used in ways you don’t agree with. Christianity in particular has often been used by those in power to keep their power and subjugate others. It’s certainly not the only religion that has done it, but it is one of the most prominent.

You believe what you want to, but when Christofascists are able to use the same book to push their regressive, violent policies, then maybe you should take a look at why that is.

Sure, if they’re willing to just destroy everything then it’s less of a solid tactic. Will the American military be so willing to just destroy the places they grew up in? Perhaps. Will they be willing to shoot the neighbor they grew up playing with? Perhaps. Will they be willing to level the school they have so many fond memories of? Perhaps. And if so, then yes, that’s game over.

The US military has historically been pretty terrible when it comes to insurgencies. But obviously they haven’t been fighting in their own backyard.

It’ll be interesting either way. I sure hope it doesn’t come to pass.

It doesn’t seem like you’ve read much about insurgencies and rebel groups. It doesn’t actually take much firepower to inject enough chaos into the system that you cause issues with traditional militaries. One person with a rifle could keep a FOB alert and wasting resources for a couple of hours in Afghanistan. IEDs placed by individuals or small groups caused absolute terror in Iraq.

These types of things are unlikely to “win” a war. But if you make it costly enough, the other side will decide it’s not worth fighting. The point is not to engage in head-on combat, that’s suicide.

Or hell, look to the tactics of some of the rebels in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.

While I hate what this means in general; be honest, is anyone going to miss Liz Cheney?

As I mentioned on another comment, there is no mechanism for the court to enforce that. The DOJ is under the President. Who will arrest the President? The SC may think this empowers them more, but it really does not.

As bad of a rep as they get, having an AR-15 is a really good idea. Readily available parts and ammo. Very easy to use. Easy to clean. Overall a good choice.

Please tell me what capacity any court has to enforce a ruling against a sitting President. I’ll wait.

As that bastard Andrew Jackson once (allegedly) said “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”

Yes, you should. And train with them. Find nearby like-minded people you can train with. You don’t need many, but you really need to know how to use them.

Ah, right, certainly the next President will also behave the same way…

This feels terribly naive. It would be one thing if we could cement into the Constitution that the President does not have immunity, but Congress can barely pass a funding bill, let alone an amendment. But failing to use the power granted to try and set the country on a better path just ensures that a dictator will rise who does not care about keeping the status quo. And Trump will have a rubber-stamp SC that will say any act he seems to be official is.

Good. The other justices don’t deserve any respect.

There are certainly more than that ready to go to war. But they’re also smart enough not to out themselves for some petty stuff like this or the Trump trial. They’ll stay hidden until the time is right to try something serious. Don’t underestimate how many right-wing Americans are out there ready for violence.

Trump is no Mandela. And something tells me Trump’s supporters would feel very different about voting for someone like Mandela…

That is hilarious. “I got an MBA from Harvard but totally believe I can get a 500-1000% return on my investment”

Sure, and I’m not calling it the end times. But things will continue to get worse as carbon accumulates and causes temperatures to rise.

Having a child has and always will be a moral and ethical choice (for those who have a choice) and it should not be taken lightly. But there are different stakes now than before. And we still haven’t gotten rid of the looming shadow of nuclear annihilation, we’ve only added to the ways we can destroy ourselves.
