So the DoJ is Joe Bidens puppet and he’s using it to persecute Trump for checks notes failing to turn over classified documents? Not insurrection or treason? Embezzlement? Russian collusion? Campaign finance violations? If every single indictment is a farce, why not drum up murder charges so he’s guaranteed to serve time?
Hate to give him such credit but he’s shaping up to be even more brilliant than Hitler was. Hitler rode the wave of real economic strife (700% rise in prices) while Trump is riding a wave of ignorance.
Classically, Congress held the power of the purse, able to both bar and require spending. This imposed a significant limit on Presidential power. With a bought court supporting him, Trump would have significant ability to essentially chart power as a king.
As someone who practices agile software development I find this baffling. I’ve never started a new project without at least 3 weeks worth of research and requirements gathering (and obviously more as the project rolls on). There are seriously companies out there who are like, “Mmm, I feel like this is gonna be an Electron project. Let’s just lay the groundwork and we’ll flesh out the nitty gritty in a week or so.” 😱
ST. LOUIS — Five states have banned ranked choice voting in the last two months, bringing the total number of Republican-leaning states now prohibiting the voting method to 10....
In short, none of this is meant to say that a person can’t express more granular support in an election, so long as it doesn’t give certain citizens greater influence than others. A ranked ballot is still “one vote” per race, in IRV at least, so my vote doesn’t mean any more than yours.
Black VP contender touting the positives of Jim Crow and a black Supreme Court Justice wanting to revisit a landmark desegregation case? The GOP is a cult, straight up!
I’d wager there’s at least a million Texans that have never left the state. It’s hard to get a sense you’re part of many other states if you’ve never left yours. Almost every time I leave the state I experience some kind of culture shock.
There’s enough of them to make a difference and they actually show up when it counts. I don’t know how taxes on churches work in other countries but they’re basically tax shelters in the US.
Seriously though. If something happens please save every scrap of footage and every tweet or post regarding the event. Join conservative groups if you feel so bold. Don’t let them get away with the rhetoric that the event was spontaneous and Trump didn’t organize it in any way or that it was a false flag op.
Most states rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda...
This is one place where blockchain is actually useful. No one entity is responsible for the integrity of the “ledger”. Of course it wouldn’t be publicly writable so not exactly like the blockchains you normally think of.
You don’t have to “mine blocks” to have a blockchain. It’s just a continual list of transactions that can’t be modified after the fact. So a hacker couldn’t wipe out your existence from the chain without controlling the majority of the participants (in a consensus algorithm). Not saying it’s an ideal use-case but highlighting that feature. There are many ways to avoid “data wipe” attacks.
