    She's going to lose.

    the "Or we get" is doing a lot of work there. You "get" judges when they die, retire or you blackmail them into retirement. I don't know how you can adjust that without appearing to be especially political with the courts. FDR tried to stack the courts but he was rebuffed and he was a really popular POTUS. Maybe you could get some consensus around putting term limits on SCOTUS judges which would mean every president could start their term by appointing 2 judges but I think you would run the risk of that getting struck down by SCOTUS which would put everyone in an awkward bind.

    I'm sure the libertarians would love that.

    Of course not. That's not how government works. The only way to fix it is for congress to pass constitutional amendments with super majorities and for states to adopt or to gain a majority on the supreme court. The Heler decision takes the ability away from almost everyone to actually fix the problem.

    Jeffrey Skilling at Enron did the physical rebrand before Bezos. I don't think people look enough at him as a direct model for Elon in market manipulation and management approach.

    No one said it wasn't that bad. All I did was note the historical correlation and some of y'all got really triggered by it. If you don't want to talk about it in the thread then don't talk about but let's not make shit up about what people said to make your point.

    Oh ok. So we can just whitewash the fact we took the creators of the V2 terror program that killed 9k brits and 12k laborers because we won the war. Stop being such a pussy and acknowledge the ugly contradiction of american space superiority. This is our history. A brutal and unfortunate reality but a reality nonetheless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip

    Elon isn't building concentration camps either. Dude is just a nazi like the scientific foundation of our rocket and space industry. I don't like elon but it's just the unpleasant reality of the US space and missile program.
  9. Pasken
    How do you reconcile the role that Nazi scientists had in building NASA to what it is today?
  10. Pasken
    Yeah, it's kinda hard to hate nazis and love the us space program given whose work made the moon landing possible.

    He's too busy suing Austin for weed.

    What does "close the border" actually mean? Does that include lawful entry for visa holders and US citizens?
  13. Pasken
    Yeah I found the description. I mean let's see how it's explained. This is the story as I understand it: They tested the gun and it eventually fired without pulling the trigger but the inspectors said that was because of damage caused to the gun from previous tests. That should have ended this whole thing right there. Then some other experts put this broken gun back together and have concluded there is no way it could have fired. I'm a bit skeptical in how confident you could possibly be in that conclusion given it came from analyzing a broken gun that did fire in previous testing without pulling the trigger however I guess let's hear the details in the trial. It still seems like complete bullshit.

    So when do we find out what the new evidence against Baldwin is?
  15. Pasken
    I bet you start to see lawsuits filed to get biden off the ballot for some dumb reason.

    Have they reported what type of vehicle it was?

    What a confusing political statement.

    Years of hard drugs erode your heart health. He probably had a heart attack.

    It'll be interesting to see how many lame ducks there are next summer after the primaries.
  20. Pasken
    They already have one. It's called "recapture".

    Pretty sure the average age of the DT is in the 90s.

    Isn’t that poster crazy?
  23. Pasken
    This would trigger an election in other countries, right? If the PM can’t put together a coalition government?

    I may be naive but I still think Elon is relatively temporary. He didn't buy twitter. A bunch of fucking people bought twitter and at some point they are going to oust him one way or another. I would avoid Saudi embassies if I were him. Twitter isn't much use politically if only the mouth breather reply guys are using it.

    well done.
