Interesting. I suppose it being an executive order does keep it to the executive branch. It's late over here and the brain hurts.

Too bad there isn't a law that requires the legislative brance to exercise powers of checks and balances. Maybe that's something to note for America 2.0.

Ha! We both said the same thing.

First bump

Whatcha gonna do, judge? Ask again? Wait until deadlines pass? Delay has always been Trumpy Dumpty's strategy to maximize harm. No conquences means nothing to lose.

But instead of poking a dictator who doesn't GAF, how about holding congress Republicans accountable since, you know, they "control" finances. You start dragging them out in cuffs, I betcha it will get someone's attention, fast!

This is called floorshadowing.

Every federal service facing cuts and mass layoffs should do this to raise awareness.

I use tubesync.

Ahh, this old chestnut again. Do we learn nothing from history?

Line up scapegoats. We all know the drill by now.

I thought this pope was generally regarded as nice, replacing the last post which was evil incarnate.

Even Catholics thought he was too progressive in some areas.

Nooooo! She was awesome and I loved those episodes she graced.

She will be greatly missed.

My subscription system now is a docker image that downloads interesting channels I specify or videos I add to a playlist. I do wonder how those metrics show up in analytics.

I stopped using recommendations when I accidently clicked on AI slop and that crap started taking over. It's useless to me now. If I use the legitimate YouTube interface, I spend half the time hiding shorts, slop, reruns, and jumpcuts-make-me-interesting influencers talking at me. Ugh.

YouTube used to be people who wanted to do or share things without kickbacks. Those are the channels I miss.

You forget, this would be another opportunity for the judicial branch to bypass Congress and "write" law, and they love that power.

Yes, I know the rules too. No, they consider themselves above the law.

Congress has too many cooks to change the Constitution properly, and likely wouldn't pass. An executive order and crooked judgement may be testing the waters to for future dictatorship.
