They restored the names, but iirc they named them after random other ppl with the same names. Like fort Hood in TX - now named after Robert B Hood, a WWI colonel. So, he couldn't even do that right and all the chuds in favor of this didn't even really get what they want

Yeah, the courts being captured is possibly the biggest problem facing the US right now. They're what makes all the bad stuff the current regime is doing possible.

+1. It was really good

That's a fair point. But it would need to be argued in the courts.

Irony & Stephen being an arch-ghoul notwithstanding, federal law does supercede state law (Art 6 Sec 2). Like, Nebraska couldn't just legalize murder. They could stop enforcing that law, but it'd still be illegal and the federal gov't could take action.

Business idea:

AI powered bot farm generates thousands of AI agents who get lonely guys to marry them, fully aware they're bots.

Each bot is a financial and legal entity, organized as an LLC.

The botwives convince the guys to put the bots on their will.

The guys die or you have the bots divorce them and take half of their stuff.

Profit.

Yep doesn't work anymore. There's probably some series of buttons you can push to put it into settings mode, but I imagine it's different by model.

If you can't mute it with software, then the only remaining way is via hardware. Carry some packing tape in your car and slap it over the speaker - wipe fingerprints off just in case.

I thought we already knew that?

But either way, this is what we need: for the Right to balkanize and start publicly attacking each other. The Democrats are totally ineffectual at this sort of thing and the news will only report on it if the right wing does it anyway.

Edit: I got my wires crossed, we havent seen the epstein files, but we do know he [most likely] raped a 13 year old girl at an Epstein-related function https://www.courthousenews.com/rape-allegations-refiled-against-trump/

Gotchu

He has 15 total "experiences" (i.e. jobs/internships), all of which are either normal jobs a kid might have or interning in state government/working with trumps campaign for a couple months at a time, all of which you might expect of a kid who wants to get into law/politics. He started work 5 years ago mowing his neighbors' lawns. Completely unremarkable. Education is a BA in "politics and law" from UT San Antonio and he did a summer "economics program" at George Mason.

Oh and his time working at the grocery store overlaps with his internships with politicians. So he either lied about the length of his employment, wasn't doing full-time internships, or wasn't working a significant number of part-time hours at the grocery store.

I invite you to look at his work history, the closest thing he has to national security experience is as a "cross functional team member" at a grocery store 2 years ago
