I look forward to another rousing yet thoughtful academic discussion on competing governance philosophies.

Trump is definitely benefitting from the armchair coach effect. Pretty easy to say "it wouldn't have happened if I were in charge" or "I would have solved it in 24 hours" from where he's sitting. And I guess half of everyone's buying it.

Polls are a waste of time right now, Kennedy is polling in the high single and low double digits, lol.  Most are polls of all, or RVs no one is really doing LV screening yet, ect... As for latinos one of the reasons dems didn't get wiped out in 2022 was because they did not side with the GOP on abortion, and still don't, the GOP isn't gaining them like is being presented in bad polling and punditry.

I thought Latinos were some of the biggest pro-lifers around?

I can tell you with certainty that game developers want modern AI tech, just not the way the EA executives do.

Okie Dokey

I totally almost went to Chicago AI, was it as bad as they say?

But I like the mechanical slide and click. The only thing I like about the Joycons.

As he considers immunity in a case centered on a president's refusal to accept his electoral defeat, Justice Samuel Alito suggested that not giving presidents immunity will actually discourage peaceful transfers of power.

 

Alito pressed Michael Dreeben, the attorney for the special counsel, on the idea that an outgoing president who looses a hotly-contested election will be disincentivized from leaving office peacefully because he will fear prosecution by the administration of his successor, a "bitter political opponent."

 

Would that not "lead us into a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy?" Alito asked.

If a President is granted Supreme Leader powers:

A. A loser is encouraged to attempt a coup before he goes, because there is no downside to it (no worse than conceding normally), so might as well try.

B. He may attempt to retire peacefully, but the new President can now do a lot worse than prosecute him. Will he get the dogs or the anti-aircraft gun?

Speaking of space things

One episode in and better than Wheel of Time and Rings of Power so far

Now I found it 

May 2001

I couldn't find when I joined, but I did find this sweet Angelfire page 

"How could all the people we specifically appointed to do this, do this?"

If I drove for 2 hours I maybe could have made it to a 100% area. But it's right when Wife gets off work, so she might not have appreciated it. 

It's my regular MMO

Is Rodgers still popular in Wisconsin? My cheesehead sensors have dulled since moving out.

Don't know who did it, but I'm glad someone talked Manchinema into not being spoilers.

Deus Ex: Invisible War, maybe it was a mistake playing this after Human Revolution, but I give it a Not as Bad as I Expected/10

Deffy worried DoJ will say "While it is still July, the trial will likely dip into our 'no going after political candidates a month before election' period, so we'll just shelve it now"

I agree with him on most issues, but sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's ok to eat pizza with and knife and fork.
