I think there is a chance that the Supreme Court may decide an issue that is good for the future of the GOP and so-called conservatives, while not being what Trump wants. It is also possible that the court will protect its own power and authority if it is in conflict with TFG and a serious threat. Note, I am not saying they will protect the people of the United States and our system of government, but they just might protect themselves. Sometimes things are as simple as you say, and sometimes they are normally as simple as you say, with the occasional nuance. No matter the parties involved, it’s usually a good idea to put money on people protecting their own self-interest. I understand that GOP politicians are too cowardly to oppose Trump’s grabbing powers that belong to other branches of government. That does not mean they wholeheartedly agree with that, they just know they are dead if they oppose it. But unlike Congress, the nine robes are appointed for life. I remain hopeful that GOP members of Congress who are too cowardly to oppose Trump may back channel to Scotus that they would not mind installing some governors on TFG’s total takeover of government. SCOTUS can survive Trump for a while by being his toadies, but that will be a short-lived relationship until he decides he no longer needs them. They know this. That was the whole conundrum of Marbury v Madison. How can the Supreme Court exert power and influence when they have no means to enforce their rulings absent the acquiescence of the ruled? If me saying it “probably won’t matter”, and saying my opinion is only a “faint hope” ruffles your jimmies as overly optimistic, that just shows what a shitty simulation we are all in right now.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

Outstanding post. It’s like whether they were smart or dumb or rich or poor, the whole damn country decided it needed to emulate Gordon Gecko’s “greed is good” instead of Mr. Smith and his filibuster speech. -
I have no idea. But if it turns out that the shadow fleet is selling gas to people who sell it to Russia at a profit, I’m gonna need to see a doctor after four hours.

I was just coming to post that That was a nice run. I always worried that poachers would take her out.

Per Kyiv Independent and Euromaiden news, Russia has removed import tariffs on gasoline, and will be purchasing gas from China, South Korea, and Singapore. That’s right, Russia has banned export of gasoline so it’s not getting rubles for the economy, and instead has to use the remaining rubles to pay other Asian countries to import gas to Russia. Which means we need to destroy every terminal that could logistically accept gasoline from other countries.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal

Well, maybe the Democrats should just go ahead and give Trump the Sudentenland so they aren’t punished in the election. -
Shut up! The man is a legend. He’s like the Kevin Sorbo of rock.

I don’t know, man - I have this vision of an orgasmic future event where each factory and refinery will get multiple saved up flamingos. So many flamingos that the now-limited number of air defense missiles can’t stop them all. I want the destruction of those sites and loss of electrical power to happen on the same day - in an event so dark and catastrophic that Russia can’t recover from it and continue its war effort at the same time. Or at all. “Imagine there’s no Russia. It’s easy if you try. No Orcs in Donbas. Glide bombs descending from the sky…Imagine all the Vatniks, Telegram off-line for all time. Ooh hoo, hoooooo… You could say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. Someday you’ll join us…and the world will live as one…. Gigantic Russia Smashing Hammer ”

Somebody just recommended the Boldin Retirement software to me again. Does anybody here use it/has used it/know of people who have used it - and can share their thoughts on whether they think it’s worth purchasing and using?

Nice summary “Make sure that Moscow’s elites have gas and fuel. We don’t care about that preventative maintenance stuff right now. What could possibly go wrong?” i’ve been wondering why they didn’t use Flamingos on the refineries - and I guess the answer is as long as drones can do the job - there’s no reason to spend the money and the resource of an ICBM. On one glorious day in the future you send the new Tomahawks and glide bombs and hundreds of new Flamingos at the military industrial complex factories making whatever they still make, while taking out whatever power plants supply energy to the factories.

Silly Ukraine. Drone strikes just increasing the cost of the reparations they will have to pay Russia.

Gatorubet replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
I know it’s easy to fall through a rabbit hole of ends versus means when trying to justify an economically damaged America, there is no way that the loss of our democracy and having Trump as dictator will not end up being far worse for America and its citizens than whatever long economic hellscape we must endure in order to prevent that happening. While it is sad that millions of Americans are forced to jump on the grenade, whether they voted for TFG or not, that is kind of where we are.- 2593 replies

These three posts show the methodical work that Ukraine is doing. They bomb the main pipeline and then follow up destroying pumping stations along the route. Like Hermann Goring having to explain why Berlin is being bombed, Putin should be answering questions why Russia cannot defend its integral gas and oil facilities from Ukrainian attacks. While the loss of oil and gas refining and exporting facilities is a problem for sure, the macro problem is that Russia has no air defense that can stop Ukraine from shutting down the gas station part of Russia being a gas station with nukes.

Whoa there friend. One can be incompetent, but not doing it intentionally. Exhibit A: my entire working career. Exhibit B: a long line of Florida football head coaches. -

“ I have no earthly idea what they should be doing, but I’m here to tell you that they aren’t doing ANY of those good things whatever those are…” I’m not sure that is your very best take in a thread talking about political strategy. All I know is that I’m having problems with my work software, and NONE of those coders were doing ANYTHING to solve the problems!!! And no, I’m not telling you what the coders should have been doing. It’s not my fucking job to tell them what to do; I do law for a living. -

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Gatorubet replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
on one hand, you have the very livelihood of the constitutional republic called the United States of America, which is currently on a direct course to fail and repudiate everything we believed in during the history of our country. On the other hand, you have people who will get hurt if the GOP drives us into the ditch, but there’s a small chance we can save our country if the injuries from driving into the ditch or so serious and severe that everyone retaliates against the GOP. like I’ve said several times, I am hoping for a great depression. That is the only thing that will ultimately strip away this selfishness and stupidity to an extent that voters only look at their current situation. And if it’s bad enough with the GOP, then they’ll try something else. But it has to be really bad for many people to pull the switch for a Democrat. So I want it really bad. -

I guess you’re going to have to articulate what you think they should be doing so we can compare what they’re doing with what you want them to do. -

One time I was visiting my 80 year-old mother when she casually mentioned that the bank had called her with a problem. When I asked what it was, she said, “ no biggie, they just wanted to confirm my Social Security number and date of birth…” Who was it mom…which bank? “I can’t remember, one of them” i’m forever getting texts for the toll tag/speeding ticket or for the FedEx package they are trying to deliver but can’t.
