You need a supermajority of states to ratify an amendment, and there is no reason for Republican-led states to back any amendment that will reform the current court. But add six young liberal justices with lifetime tenure, and now they will go out of their way to pass an amendment to term-limit the,.

We can also ask for term limits and other structural things that require a Constitutional Amendment, but we need to do this first.

Then, after passing the law, go to Republicans and say “There! We undid your fucking up of the courts. You have a choice now: either work with us on a constitutional amendment to help us fundamentally restructure the Court and make is less political, or watch us appoint all these Liberal judges to lifetime appointments and you roll the dice on getting control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress to re-fuck it at some nebulous point in the future”.

While we are at it, we should add 1 more state. That would give us 53, which is a prime number.

We would truly be one nation, indivisible…

Just don’t hook it up to your wifi. Don’t use any of its included apps. If you must stream get a separate device to do it.

Is our plan to pollute everything with AI first, so the Chinese bots are trained by our bots?

If you run BGP, yes. Instead, you can always just build up huge-ass fixed routing tables that are impossible to maintain once you get more than a handful of networks…

The GOP seems comfortable enough with Nazis, it’s interesting that the Black Nazi was the tipping point…

That Bills/Niners game was wild. Peak Jim Kelly and Steve Young, they each had over 400 passing yards. You would think that neither defense showed up, but there were three turnovers on each side, so they made the big plays, just not the little ones.

I mean, to be fair to those folks, as they are citizens it’s highly unlikely that even that guy could get them all deported.

Our Supreme Court just gave him a free ticket to do whatever the hell he wants, as long as it can be traced back to his official capacity. The only check on this is impeachment, which fails as long as 34 Senators are on his side.

Health Care was a bugaboo for him because he needed to get Congress to go along, and those people still need to win their own elections. But he would have all the things he needs to deport all the people he doesn’t like, without Congress: a pen to write Executive Orders, a Corps of Engineers to build camps, a complacent Judiciary, and a total lack of a conscience.

The way forward is to stop looking at those as “features of the keyboard and mouse that I purchased” and consider them as “unlockables” where you have to pay again by handing over your personal info. Then stop buying their stuff, because it’s absurd to have to pay twice.

I prefer my keyboards and mice as dumb as possible. Preferably with cables, so I never have to worry about charging them.

It’s so smart it knew it didn’t want to support Putin and sabotaged itself

It seems like his current political aspiration is to be Mayor of Omaha. I don’t think you get that gig without being on the good side of the local cops.

It’s just more triangulating

I hope this guy has some good police protection.

So we make vehicles now that are so dependant on software that state actors can basically take them over and control them at will, and the US thinks it’s only a problem when China does it?

Why not simply mandate that cars sold in the US don’t have any of that shit to begin with?

Would you go door-knocking there? That’s a certain way to get shot at.

I wonder how much of the Trump campaign’s “expenses” went directly into his pocket (or to pay his lawyers for his criminal trials, which ends up being the same thing, really.)

I don’t think Trump and his team are competent enough to do that in an untraceable way, without getting caught. That would require reaching out to a bunch of folks anonymously, KGB-style, and bringing them all along until one or two decide to just do the thing already.

I wonder who could pull that off?

I can’t wait for that campaign commercial:

“Who would you rather vote for, the Master Blaster, or the Master Baiter?”

Just say it’s for AI and you’ll have scores of people here defending you
