In the end, I think combatting the ticket scalpers will give the working class a chance to enjoy the things usually reserved for the upper-middle class. What do you guys think?

This is how government is designed. It's not about problem solving, it is all about the process.

42 billion dollars, zero results. Endless planning.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democrats are sounding the alarm over Trump's stated plan to shutter the Department of Education, saying such a move would put millions of kids in danger of becoming too smart to vote Democrat.

The question is: are pardons legitimate if they were signed by autopen?
What if the president was out of the country when the documents were signed in DC via autopen?

What about legislation? Does the public have a right to demand presidents must physically have the document in front of them for examination as they sign it?
Is the inability to physically sign documents grounds for removal under the 25th amendment?

What is the legal procedure? How do we know the president activated the autopen?

A radical partisan judge in Delaware slammed Musk a few years back by not allowing shareholders to compensate Musk for his performance as CEO.

Because Musk let the ruling stand, and simply decided to take his ball and play elsewhere, many of the S and P 500 are looking to incorporate in a more business friendly state.
About two-thirds of companies in the S&P 500 index are registered in Delaware.

This is the permanent damage TDS can inflict on a state when justice becomes weaponized along party lines.

I was looking at some .ca sites about what Canada was doing... on the plus side, it noted that it set aside some funds to set up an agency of 20 people to track and test 2000 samples a year to find the source and get an idea of how much is coming over undetected.

At first glance, you might say "hay Canada takes this seriously."

CBP admits 2 milligrams is enough for an overdose, so it knows how dangerous even small amounts seized can be. Even one pound of the stuff could kill hundreds.

But I think the only statistic that really matters is the after report. 
There were a total of 50,928 apparent opioid toxicity deaths reported between January 2016 and September 2024.
Of all accidental apparent opioid toxicity deaths so far in 2024 (January to September), 75% involved fentanyl This percentage has increased by 32% since 2016 when national surveillance began. 
That is 38,196 Canadian deaths over 8 years to Fentanyl.
Canada only has a population of 40 million people.
I get that 40,000 fentanyl deaths may seem small compared to a population of 40 million, but the impact is severe when considering the daily toll. In 2022 alone, opioids were responsible for about 20 deaths per day, which is more than many other common causes of premature death. To me, this reflects at least some level of public health emergency. Populations suffer greatly when a good portion of their youth is taken from them.

So is creating the PMCRU and hiring 20 people in a lab in Toronto to screen 2000 doses a year adequate?
Is seizing only 43 pounds of it during Biden's last year adequate?

Trump seems to think no.

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that he is open to cooperating with the US on rare-earth minerals in a video that has gone viral. This comes after President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s heated exchange at the Oval Office. In the video, Putin says he is willing to work with American partners – including private companies – in the rare-earth sector, and points out that Russia’s rare earth reserves are far greater than what Ukraine holds.

President Donald Trump AKA "Hitler," has just become the first fascist in the history of humankind to use his despotic authoritarian powers to reduce the size of the government.

While most other fascist leaders throughout history have used their power to increase the scope of government influence in their respective countries, Trump has broken with tradition to become the very first fascist with a focus on dismantling his own government's overreaches.

"Only time will tell, but Trump must have something extremely nefarious up his sleeve if he's doing his fascism by making government smaller," said Lee Glyde-Jennings, who teaches several advanced classes on the history of fascism at Harvard. "It's entirely unlike every other fascism in history to this point — I'm just waiting to see exactly how he's going to wind up instituting a fascist dictatorship by carefully picking apart the government bureaucracy."

Several Democrats had also warned that Trump with access to the nuclear codes would soon start World War III by making peace with other nations.

I was skimming over a WF/Bones debate about abortion, and I was thinking about the question of personhood within a moral and legal framework.

My thoughts went to an old infamous Scotus case where a man was declared property and thus could not have personhood. (Dredd Scott)

If we do not confer personhood to a 9 month old fetus, does this mean it must then be considered property as well?

And I feel really guilty about it all of a sudden. Like I don't deserve it.

Should I bring it back to the dealership and get a cheaper one? What do you guys think?

Or should I just get over the guilty feelings and enjoy something nice?

Knowing exactly what is going to happen Jan 20th,

Zelensky pleads with NATO to let him join if he ends the war by letting Putin get the Donbas.

My guess is NATO is going to tell Zelensky to pound sand like they have been for decades, knowing it would be suicide to admit a corrupt former Soviet state into NATO who would trigger artilcle 5 over stupid crap.

Putin is also likely to say nyet.

Key takeaways:
  • The DNC operatives blame voters for their loss, labeling them as racist, garbage, or ignorant rather than reflecting on their own strategies.
  • They propose superficial changes, such as renaming terms like "Latinx" to "Latiné" and "economy" to "economé," while ignoring voter preferences.
  • They double down on unpopular policies regarding gender and identity issues, suggesting louder accusations of "transphobia" to silence dissent.
  • Despite losing, they prioritize ideological purity and the approval of media figures and celebrités over winning future elections.
The refusal to self-reflect mocks the performative, tone-deaf approaches to winning voters and also illustrates the disconnect between political elites and ordinary people. It's more important to be right(eous) than to win support.
