Does Elon Musk have a nationality or is he a true Cosmopolitan (as in a person who has no loyalty to anyone but himself)?
To be clear, this wasn’t merely access to what Trump posted to the public, but location information and direct messages sent/received.
Trump is truly fucked, and Twitter got a hefty fine dragging its feet on the matter for good measure as Musk tried to cover for his buddy Trump.

OT: I had a tooth pulled this morning. Far back molar on my left side and holy SHIT did the dentist have to fight to get it out of there. We’ll see how my pain levels are once this numbness wears off (they gave me some Norco, which usually works for me).
On the plus side, now that the tooth is gone, I officially have no more dental issues at the moment.
On the plus plus side, I can now eat ice cream again without having extreme sensitivity in that part of my mouth. :P

Being belligerent and even resisting arrest should not be sufficient grounds for using deadly force. He had to have been pointing a weapon at officers, threating to shoot or, actually shooting. After all, he was white.
They can’t find widespread election fraud, precisely because the ERIC system works. They instead claim that it didn’t find any fraud, so therefore it doesn’t work.
It’s a sham and shows how the GOP is intent on rolling back voting rights and freedoms.— lawhawk (@lawhawk) August 10, 2023
GOPers are exiting a known and proven method of combating voter fraud - the ERIC system, which is nonpartisan and checks voter rolls between states.
Rather than finding ways to improve the existing system, they claim that the system fails to find fraud when there is no fraud to find - it’s nonstop conspiracy theories from right wingers who claim Trump lost in 2020.
They keep getting it wrong on purpose.
Trumpists are the ones who engaged in election fraud by interfering in the certification of the election results. There was no widespread voter fraud, or even a pattern of voter fraud beyond a handful of cases nationwide (many of which were later dismissed by GOPer DAs when those who committed the crimes were GOPers voting for Trump on behalf of dead or invalid relatives).
re: #27 Jay C
A bigger mystery is: if that front wheel is just a stone cylinder rotating on a fixed axis, how is it “steered”, and what is that steering wheel Fed is holding attached to?
The way I’d write it: The car is slightly trapezoidal, front roller is shorter across than the rear, steering wheel shifts the two side timbers fore and aft relative to each other, turning the front axle at a greater angle than the rear due to the trapezoid.

“They want to be the agents, not the victims, of history. They identify with God’s power and believe they are godlike. That is their basic madness. They are overcome by some archetype; their egos have expanded psychotically so that they cannot tell where they begin and the godhead leaves off.

Manchin ‘thinking seriously’ about leaving the Democratic Party: report
United States Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) told radio host Hoppy Kercheval on Thursday that he is considering leaving the Democratic Party, lamenting the “extremes” that he believes have developed inside each political camp. Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-Arizona) shared similar concerns when she switched to Independent in December 2022.
“I want to be able to speak honestly about, basically, the extremes of the Democrat and Republican Party that is harming our nation,” Manchin said, per NBC News’ Julie Tsirkin.

…but is this really new?
Muscular Christianity has been around for awhile; harshness and violence as a Christian act, if we just contain our observations to Americans Christians, is a highly developed rhetoric. What Moore is observing is the boomerang effect: the logic once used for clearly-defined others—mostly brown, mostly far away—is now being applied in the domestic sphere in ways that don’t follow his assumptions. The process of turning the Bible from excuse-maker for monarchs and empire to excuse-maker for slavers and factory bosses to excuse-maker for fascists has been perfected. Their Jesus is an occult Jesus who anodyne words are actually code for hierarchy and eugenics and all the violence required to keep those things locked in: their exegesis simply does not require the text or a priesthood because the new prophets are rich, cruel assholes…and their richness and their ability to get way with shit is the marker of their blessing.

Ex-Bush aide warns Biden impeachment could ‘unleash an internal Republican civil war’
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Story With Martha MacCallum,” suggested it wasn’t clear to him that House Republicans fully understand the implications of pursuing an impeachment inquiry.
CNN reports that privately many House Republicans think it’s a “foregone conclusion” that the House will pursue impeaching Biden over his son’s business entanglements.
“Impeachment is not a slippery slope. It’s a one-way path. And there’s only one way to go once you start an inquiry,” Fleischer said.
“If House Republicans start an impeachment inquiry, there’s no stopping it, and that’s what they need to recognize. They will unleash an internal Republican Civil War. If they start the inquiry and they don’t proceed to impeachment, and they may not have the votes to impeach, which could ultimately be the worst biggest backfire for Republicans.”
👀 Former Bush aide Ari Fleischer warns @SpeakerMcCarthy:Once you open an impeachment inquiry, “there’s no stopping it.” It could “unleash an internal Republican civil war” because they “may not have the votes” and it could lead to “the worst, biggest backfire for Republicans.” pic.twitter.com/E0cHhyEmPE

They are unconcerned with the people who actually live in places, who try to raise families and futures there. The serfs are something to be used, to destruction if necessary.
Think about Europe’s Hapsburgs or Bourbons. Nations and peoples were just properties on a Monopoly board

Last month, Houston-based startup Fervo announced the successful test of a first-of-its kind commercial-scale power plant, which uses the shale oil drilling innovations to produce zero-emission geothermal energy. While horizontal drilling allows oil producers to access new seams of fossil fuels, in Fervo’s case, the company is drilling sideways into hot, porous rocks heated by tectonic activity.

Conservative Legal Scholars Baude and Paulsen: Donald Trump Disqualified to Serve as President Under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment
electionlawblog.org
First, Section Three remains an enforceable part of the Constitution, not limited to the Civil War, and not effectively repealed by nineteenth century amnesty legislation. Second, Section Three is self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. Third, to the extent of any conflict with prior constitutional rules, Section Three repeals, supersedes, or simply satisfies them. This includes the rules against bills of attainder or ex post facto laws, the Due Process Clause, and even the free speech principles of the First Amendment. Fourth, Section Three covers a broad range of conduct against the authority of the constitutional order, including many instances of indirect participation or support as “aid or comfort.” It covers a broad range of former offices, including the Presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.

Conservative Legal Scholars Baude and Paulsen: Donald Trump Disqualified to Serve as President Under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment

um…. doesn’t that require he be convicted?
Conservative social and fiscal policy are both expressions of their view of caste—that hierarchy is good and that government functions to perpetuate it.
The fiscal policy maintains the hierarchy explicitly—money goes to the better kinds of people, ideally a kind of Taylorist government policy is applied to the inferior kinds of people to extract more value from them.
The social policy is the enforcement of the hierarchy through state violence, but they’re doing a lot of calculation about how to get what they want—to control people such that their bodies are not their own—without making it explicit that they want total control and will build a state to enforce this.
The former is always at play and generally successful, because meritocracy and “individual responsibility” are not prions exclusively found in rightist skulls.
The latter is always at play but with a lot of calculation about how much they can get away with creating the dual state—a prerogative state that grants them license and a normative state that hammer the rest of us—because if they’re too honest they’ll get pushback.
Right now, you’re seeing reactionaries who are very confident…or are accelerationist and willing to start a real fight—say things out loud because they perceive an ascending arc.
re: #165 sagehen
um…. doesn’t that require he be convicted?
Not in any originalist interpretation. The idea was to ban ex-confederate traitors, and there is no apparent need for a prior criminal trial in each case convicting said traitors of being traitors.
A hearing before an official charged with enforcing candidate qualifications would suffice.

If, God forbid, Trump takes office as president in Jan 2025, then yes, there is an excellent chance all his legal problems will go away, likely by being submerged in larger problems as he orders Federal troops (or the Proud Boys acting as his SA) to act vs. inconvenient state-level officials.
A sitting president, aided and abetted in his corruption by the wholly corrupt Republican party, has a tremendous amount of power that can be abused. Add to that the complete lack of restraint that Trump would have in a second term as a resentful narcissist nursing a grudge, and it really is a nightmare scenario.
