  1. This is potentially good for the Democratic candidate though.
  2. Congress has the Constitutional authority to completely takeover federal elections. But they won't, because reasons.
  3. A person doing that would screw over the party they represent. Hypothetically, if they won the election, they would be unable to serve.
  4. I'm not surprised and I'm not even upset. This was the only tenable decision, even if I really wanted him to be ineligible because he is an insurrectionist.
  5. One of the arguments that Trump has put forward is that a President cannot be prosecuted criminally UNLESS they are first impeached and removed from office. The problem with this argument presented by Trump is that it would apply to ALL officers of the United States, not just the President. That would mean that every single person who is subject to the impeachment process would be immune from criminal prosecution unless they were first impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. There have been numerous instances of Executive branch officers and judges who have been arrested, tried, and convicted in criminal court.
  6. Turtles hibernate though. Do you want him to emerge from his turtle hole 20 years from and take his leadership position again??
  7. We don't need this place to turn into (more of) a circle jerk. I'd encourage you to keep commenting, even if it means you encounter resistance.
  8. Tweet from Intuitive Machines, the maker of the lander: This lander was the first in history to use cryogenic propellant (liquid oxygen and methane) and successfully land on the moon. All previous landers have had to use (or attempted to use) storable (but incredibly dangerous) propellants like hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide. Methane/oxygen or hydrogen/oxygen are the fuels of the future for these missions.
  9. This is why we need to develop brain to phone telepathy technology
  10. I dunno. I'd love a movie/miniseries version of the World War Z book. The Brad Pitt movie didn't do the book justice.
  11. He's definitely going to have to sell off assets to pay the judgement if his appeal fails. If he appeals that is.
  12. Trump can run a business in New York in 3 years. I think Gemini describes his future pursuits quite well: "The scene is bustling and chaotic, typical of a busy New York City street. A bright yellow hot dog stand sits on the corner, emblazoned with the words "Trump's Top Dogs" in faded red paint. Behind the counter stands Donald Trump, his signature comb-over slightly askew and his expression one of deep discontent. He wears a stained white apron over a dark suit, looking out of place amidst the greasy tongs and bubbling hot dog water. Customers mill around, some pointing and whispering, others simply waiting for their orders. A pigeon lands on the counter, scattering mustard packets, and Trump swathes it away with a grimace. The overall image is one of humor and absurdity, highlighting the contrast between Trump's former grandeur and his current, more humble circumstances."
  13. Trump has been fined on the order of $350 million by New York State. If he loses the appeal, this could be curtains for many of his businesses and properties in the state.
  14. Russia knows how to build nuclear weapons, and they know how to build spacecraft. It isn't hard to imagine them being able to integrate the two into one platform. My biggest worry (if it is never used) is what happens to it after the satellite that carries the weapon fails? The object that everyone is currently tracking is in low earth orbit. Eventually, the orbit will decay and the payload will reenter the atmosphere.
  15. I want it to be UFO tech. My theory is that the US, along with Russia and a few other countries have absolutely retrieved UFOs and related technology, but have had a bitch of a time reverse engineering it. Russia has figured out some trick to manufacture, or at least better understand how the alien technology works, and is getting ready to weaponize it.
  16. I don't think there was anything particularly wrong with that "He gets us" commercial itself. On the other hand, the group that funded it doesn't actually follow the teachings of Jesus.
