  1. Man there was a whole ass team at the energy company I used to work at to service and keep up toughbooks, I wasn’t involved in that group but when they talked about it I thought it was just the name of some dumb custom corporate thing but TIL it’s an actual product
  2. Eh, these psychos won by a big enough margin it’s clear this is what the psycho Republican electorate wanted, dem help or not.
  3. This is good. Requiring 20% of senators to object alone is a very good step. At the very least it raises the bar for coordination which makes it much more difficult to actually do a coup. That said laws will do nothing to stop bad faith legal theories (of which there are still a few that I know of!) from overturning election results so we do have to hope that ~half of a given party’s senators aren’t brain damaged so to avoid the courts.
  4. The “easier” path requires constitutional amendments to reduce the power of the senate making it basically useless like the House of Lords in Westminster systems. A lot of people believe that abolishing the senate would require unanimous consent from the states because of one particular clause of the constitution. I personally don’t buy it (all new amendments supersede existing amendments or constitutional language) but it’s a widely held belief.
  5. There's far more similarities in party operation and intra-party politics between the GOP and the Bolsheviks than I'm comfortable with. Their shared intellectual roots might have something to do with it. I forget who said it but 'neocons* are the descendants of disillusioned Bolsheviks' is an argument that I'm buying into more and more. *maga people being themselves disillusioned neocons
  6. wont germans do this if you try to cross the street and you don't have the "walk" signal?
  7. divorce one wife while shes in the hospital with cancer and all of a sudden you're the bad guy you libs and your purity tests
  8. its also a likely candidate to be a swing state in a decade or so due to urbanization and educational polarization
