I’m not confused about the system. I believe you completely about all these checks and balances, and I had no doubt about their existence before you explained them.

What I don’t believe is that any of it will stop him from doing whatever he wants. As evidenced by the events of the past two months. Did Kathy Hochul stop him from dropping Eric Adams corruption charges (yes, I know they were federal)? Did she instruct her AG to file state charges? Did she do anything at all to replace or remove Adams? What makes you think Walz would be any different?

You can spout all this shit about rules and laws and that would really be a great argument if either of those things made any bit of difference to Donald Trump. These things only matter if someone enforces them. He basically committed high treason by attempting to coup the government and he was not only allowed to remain free, he became the president again. He’s openly broken the law, blatantly violated the constitution and completely ignored several court orders. The question isn’t “how will he do that” its “how will you stop him”.

Unless Tim Walz plants his ass in that prison and guards the release button personally, I don’t really see him presenting much of a problem.

He doesn’t need to be. He’s in charge of enough to make problems for them if they don’t comply. What makes you think the person in charge of a prison wouldn’t be eager to please Trump in the first place?

Trump will say he’s pardoned, sign a paper, and he will be released. He doesn’t care about mechanisms because that’s for someone else to worry about.

After all that’s happened do you honestly think legality is an obstacle to these people?

Not a single person in this photo is under 40.

Hamas’ numbers have, if anything, been extremely conservative. If they’re wrong it’s because they fall short of reality, not because they exaggerate it. Israel themselves used their counts. This bullshit has been disproved a dozen times over but it just will not die.

People are being bombed to death in Gaza and your first instinct is to gloat about a political grievance. They were right to call you a shit lib.

No, the babies are necessary to parse the .doc format.

The best is unironically to pirate and use something like Kodi on a SBC that can run libreElec.

That would work if you were rich and friends with government officials. I don’t like your chances otherwise.

Using my “friends” to pay off a personal debt while making $250/mo in profit off them. See, it’s possible to be a good landlord, everyone!

Did you share any of what you made from the sale with your “friends” who helped you pay for it and kept it in good condition for you?
