Remember the Right was working on defunding the IRS, so that rich tax cheats could continue to fleece this country while the poor and middle class pay for everything while also providing the labor keeping them rich.

The problem is they have all this bad data they acquire from these groups, and then use it to fuel these conspiracy’s (like 2000 mules) that their base that has been conditioned not to question, and then we get things like January 6th. And they have already begun laying the ground work to take this country by force if needed this time around. They have fake electors, and election denial people in high places all over the country. Trump has been priming the base with the whole “the only way we could lose is if they cheat” line all over again. And unfortunately, Biden doing that debate, and the fall out afterwards is only going to add gas to the conspiracy theories this go around. The Heritage Foundation president stated that Project 2025 will allow “conservatives” to take back our country without any blood shed, unless the Left does anything to try and stop them. They want to a civil war.

We need to stop brushing these people off like they are crazy and spewing a bunch of shit, which they are, but they have a cult (in law enforcement, in the Judiciary, lawyers out of the ass, and then millions of foot soldiers) ready to fight for them. When these asshats are screaming through a megaphone exactly who they are, and the crazy shit they want to do, we need to start taking them seriously.

Well, yes, but they want one that only focuses on white nationalism. So expensive, yet still poor education.

I meant that with a high, or even “normal” humidity level you know when you are sweating. In that Arizona sun the air is so dry that you never feel sweaty, it instantly evaporates, but being so hot it also doesn’t act to really cool the body as intended. So it feels like you’re not sweating, potentially leading some to push harder not knowing how dehydrated they actually are until it’s too late.

I think of it like the boiled frog, only instead of boiling in water you are slowly losing water you don’t even feel leaving you.

I can only imagine what kind of “data” they think they are feeding this “artificial intelligence supercomputer” that is apparently counting ballots by not physically counting them? Also love that they supposedly have a “mathematician” also using some sort of “data” to somehow count ballots without counting them (and if this person exists they are almost certainly a high school math teacher that is just part of the cult).

I’m sure what they think they are doing is using one of these error filled lists created by these conservative organizations, and then using statistics to try and show how the numbers have to be in their favor. They don’t understand that garbage in = garbage out, and it’s why nothing they are using is anything but a waste of time and wouldn’t even be admissible in court.

I think it’s more dangerous for those of us from out of town/state, as the lack of humidity means you don’t sweat (or at least the same) so by the time you know your thirty it’s probably to late. I visited Arizona like 10 years back in like April and it was insanely hot already, and we kept an emergency case of water in the trunk of the car (on advice from a family member living there) and anytime we did any hiking we had camel packs and water bottles too as backup because we knew you had to just keep drinking.

It was funny though because Sedona was like the middle of a really hot summer in the north east, but they had ice in parts of the canyon still.

Also I’m not sure how the “god” (Satan) that wanted humans to have freewill is the bad guy, when “God” for some reason was purposefully trying to keep humans as puppets (or play things) in his little garden. And then had to punish the humans as soon as they could do what they wanted instead of the story laid out for them.

Reminds me a lot of President Business from the Lego movie. He wants everything to be perfect but people keep doing whatever they want to and screwing it up, so he wants to use the “kragle” to “fix” the plan and make everything perfect again.

It was also cheaper 30 years ago to pay everyone involved in that band’s tour, which all comes out of the artist’s pot of money. So a smaller venue means less for artists and the crews supporting them.

So, while doing this now sounds great, that would mean your either continuing to pay a road crew no longer needed for these much smaller tours/venues, or laying these people off (when some of these people will have been part of these crews for the bands touring lifetime).

It still makes me angry that the whole music industry left Pearl Jam out to dry on this. Had even half the artist touring joined in solidarity with Pearl Jam it would probably be a much better market for concert goers these days.

Seems like a fine should be more for being negligent in your donation sources, and so your campaign accepted a donation you shouldn’t have. It should be a whole different category when you are warned multiple times along the way, which sounds like the case here, and then go on to knowingly break campaign finance laws. I think revoking his church’s tax exempt status, if even only temporarily, would serve as more of a deterrent.

Edit - autocorrect is out to get me today =(

Also important to point out the Satanic Temple is not the same as the Church of Satan (or Satanic Church as you’ve labeled it here).

I did find the part that listed the military as one of the Presidents office acts, you are correct on that. I also found this on page 62, that is the basis for the questioning about Seal Team 6 during arguments, and again in the SCOTUS descent. I read it as effectively saying that if the President uses police or military to do an “unlawful killing” then because they are “exempt” he would be immune. So the President isn’t allowed to murder in a foreign country, but if he uses the military it’s an official act and exempt? This reads to me like it only stops the President from personally being a Rambo, carrying out hit jobs, but Trump was a draft dodger (so …). Any lawyers here? I don’t see an instance of the President carrying out an “unlawful” killing without using the police or military. Except if maybe this is one of those things left over from when a President would duel, or people in Congress would bludgeon someone with a cane?

Congress has concurrent authority over many Government functions, and it may sometimes use that authority to regulate the President’s official conduct, including by criminal statute. Article II poses no barrier to prosecution in such cases.

I would thus assess the validity of criminal charges predicated on most official acts—i.e., those falling outside of the President’s core executive power—in two steps. The first question is whether the relevant criminal statute reaches the President’s official conduct. Not every broadly worded statute does. For example, §956 covers conspiracy to murder in a foreign country and does not expressly exclude the President’s decision to, say, order a hostage rescue mission abroad. 18 U. S. C. §956(a). **The underlying murder statute, however, covers only “unlawful” killings. §1111. The Office of Legal Counsel has interpreted that phrase to reflect a public-authority exception for official acts involving the military and law enforcement. **

Trump cares about one thing, Trump. If these policies will hurt people he sees as an enemy, he’ll be all for it. He doesn’t want to run a country, or do any work, he wants to be the “strong man” at the top everyone “respects/fears”. He gives zero shits about anyone or anything besides himself. This election is 100% about getting elected to keep himself out of jail, and of course his revenge on everyone trying to hold him accountable for his ever growing crime list.

He doesn’t want to be a part of it, because that’s like work. He’ll be 100% happy to let them do these horrible things and take credit for it later.

He’s running the country right now, unless you think it’s really Obama and/or the Lizard People.

They worded and ruled the way they did, because they know there is a 0% chance Biden would carry out anything he would have to declare immunity for, because he is so worried about being a “both sides” politician. And the SCOTUS didn’t make any of that “the law”, it’s still illegal, BUT the President can now claim immunity for breaking the law and nobody can do anything about it. It plays against the morals of the Left, since the Right sold their morals for power long ago.

And Biden could certainly do something that counters this without having to break the law, and exercise this new immunity. He could be running on expanding the Court, bumping the number to 13 Justices (one Justice for each US federal circuit court), adding new qualified Judges instead of inexperienced partisan hacks. He could run on adding rules on ethics and time limits for the Court, make the members (or a staggered amount of them) do a rotation out and back to one of the 13 US federal circuit court systems every 4 years (or whatever). This would go a long way against this weaponizing of the Court with bad faith Justices that are putting Politics/$ over the country and the law, and it would be all legal.

Roberts did not list the military as one of the “official acts” that would be immune, because Trump doesn’t need the military yet to stay out of jail. The list was a blue print to keeping Trump out of jail should he win the election. The military would however likely fall under what the majority of the SCOTUS would call an action that would have “presumed immunity”, but they really left that up to the SCOTUS to decide on a case by case basis (aka does it help Trump or one of the Justice’s “friends”).

The issue this time is that one party still flies at least two of those flags still.

I"m sure the irony is intend on an election on the same day as the US celebration of Independence. =) I watched the John Oliver episode about this election though, and congrats on what looks like Labor being the big winner over the Conservative party.

The Chief Justice did give two examples, as a kind of playbook for Trump and the people behind Project 2025. The two things he mentions that for sure fall within the absolute can’t investigate/question/use as evidence/prosecute “official” acts are:

1. pardons (they may pardon anyone for anything for any price)
2. command their Attorney General (DOJ) - which they can then use #1 to cover them for any illegal requests they carry out
