They were able to do it once. They seem to be able to do anything once.
The question is, can Congress and the courts stop them from doing it again?

Complacency. This stuff has real consequences, but the media reports on it like it’s a sporting event and most politicians are only interested in gaming the next election.

He’s not afraid because he’s likely to be impeached, he’s afraid because he’s suffering from advanced mental decline.

Hundreds, maybe even thousands of governors. Who knows? It could be ten thousand.

If it was the four horsemen of the apocalypse then only one would be skeletal, so this is probably something else.

I think Trump might not be tracking things very well anymore. His people seem to be managing him.

Too plausible!

Ugh, this is so not the right time for this. What awful messaging. We have a full slate of problems, a constitutional collapse, a substantially dismantled federal government, an impotent court system, a nakedly corrupt executive branch… and somehow an assault weapon ban is a priority right now?

We’re not really our own friend right now either.

A big part of his motivation has always been finding ways to monetize being president.

If they aren’t, or if there isn’t an “after this administration,” the word will just come to mean something else. One of the Orwellian signs of our time is that a word or a phrase can hold one meaning and its exact opposite simultaneously.

I support the town halls in Republican districts, I think that’s a very worthwhile thing to do, but this seems like too soft a tone. We need these people fired up alongside us about stopping the bleeding now. Building a better and more prosperous tomorrow is an abstract problem for the future.

He doesn’t think after speaking either.

Unfortunately, the relationship between individual effort on a work and its popular success kinda random. There are hit songs that were written as throwaway jokes by the musicians they made famous. Sometimes what you get out of a project isn’t the same thing everyone else gets… but that can be ok.

It’s important to know that there is some good news out there….

Ooh, I love a working model. It’s one of the best ways to teach a concept intuitively.

When they found a bootleg wire recording of a Woody Guthrie concert from the 1949, one of the ways they were able to speed correct it was by using the 60 cycle hum recorded from the 1949 power grid onto the wire. They used what is normally a noise source as a timing signal.

One of the hang-ups, anyway. People love a good conspiracy, and one of the fun things about a conspiracy is that you don’t have to fully commit to it. So many of the people I grew up with never seem to more than half-believe anything.

All his executive orders don’t count. He signs everything with sharpie and a sharpie is a marker, not a pen.

One of the ways to relieve the stresses associated with people calling you a Nazi is to stop acting like a Nazi.

Oh crap, we’re in the Mirror Universe! That explains so much.

That’s what I prefer too. In almost every case, I’d rather see a standard version of whatever site it is than one that’s been curated to sell me whatever the algorithm thinks I’ll buy.

This articulates a lot of the frustration I have with social media. I don’t want to have my news and entertainment curated. I’d rather pick out entertainment for myself, and for news I would prefer to go back to reading a standard edition of the newspaper that is available to everyone else.

That’s really cool. I have a Silvertone wire recorder I’ve been intending to fix up for years.

The Washington Post has been a real disappointment this time around. I remember it being one of the brighter spots last time.

If I don’t know something, nobody must know it.

The hotels in Gaza threat seems to have effectively sabotaged the ceasefire that the Biden administration pulled off at the last minute. I wonder if that wasn’t the whole purpose of it. Trump may actually think he’s going to do it, but whoever gave him the idea just wanted to end the ceasefire.

They stumble a lot, too.
