Please don't preach down to people on the internet as an attempt to control others who disagree with you. - Rule 0

Yes and no. Internet "lawyers" will make arguments about how it must be or not be the case. Instead, a group of people together is more like a dynamic living organism that morphs into subsequent zeitgeists. There maybe apolitical structural/demographic reasons, circumstances, and/or infectious ideas that lead to major changes. Some are root causes and some are merely reflections.

Or in this case, a memetic infection on top of sliding value changes (polarity, illiberalism, aggressive patriotism) changing the underlying values causing various symptoms. A country is a collection of people who share some iota of proximity, values, and/or views, although "Network Staters" and "Free Staters" would have you believe differently.

NRC, are you know, just unnecessary, bureaucratic red-tape. The guy down the way with a truck in Times Beach said he'd remove it cheap.

Hide the ability of consumers to make informed choices.

Meanwhile, logging old growth forests, drilling more oil, scoffing at renewables and EVs, and building power-hungry data centers for marginal-utility AI owned by a handful of billionaires. Flu vaccines are in doubt, the chaos and riots will begin around June/July when the shelves are empty and prices double.

Intelligence isn't a respectable quality in the face of illegal (allegedly), unethical, and/or immoral behavior.

Kissinger shared culpability for what happened in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

Rice shares culpability for what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Hegseth may still participate in war crimes regardless of being a dim bulb. One can only hope his disability makes him less effective in causing harm deliberately, but he still may cause great harm inadvertently as well.

America needs to acknowledge that it has a multitiered system of selective criminal prosecution where some people get away with crimes because of who they are.

Yes and no.

No, not for classified comms. They already have secure comms and SCIFs but they're not using them. This is what they should be using. And they should be following sterile opsec so they don't carry tracking and listening devices into classified meetings or strategy discussions with decision makers.

They do need better opsec for unclassified and personal comms. It would be nice™ for them to have a Signal-like app controlled by the NSA because depending on Signal or WhatsApp is vulnerable to a malicious insider. Few Meta employees have security clearances, while I don't know about Signal.

Most dating apps exist to milk socially-unsuccessful people for as long as possible as a simulacrum for developing friends and social skills. These are instead a logical business model extension of technofeudalism mediation and commodification of all aspects of life with pay-to-play technological intermediaries. If any of the social media or dating apps were honest and prosocial ventures (orthogonal to profits), they'd instead focus on social skills improvements, positive social leadership/initiative, connecting people, and being secondary to encouraging expediency, reckless behavior, outrage exploitation, and superficial interactions simply because it counted as engagement and ad impressions. Community and reconnecting people would be the "killer app" that would make dating apps more/less pointless except for flings.

Read the RFCP. ArtIII judges can absolutely empower people other than USMS to carry out legal orders such as service of process and enforcement of contempt orders.

The same can be said about a number of big cities over the past 30 years. Perhaps there ought to be limits of corporate ownership of residential properties and limits to the number any individual (non corporation) can own too. Also, limits to overseas buyers to prevent gentrification by foreign capital flight. Housing should be for real people who aren't billionaires.

Well, it's a mirror of the Idiocracy mob's failure to anticipate the existential threat and potential damage caused by climate change. Informed, honest, ethical leadership is the cure but isn't popular enough. An ignorant populace is much easier to manufacture the consent of for cynical manipulation of popularity contests in avoidance of doing what's essential for the selfish, temporary, immediate benefit of a greedy few.

There's only one possible route for removal but it requires simultaneous impeachment and removal of POTUS and all 18 in the USPLOS too. That would require immense pressure on a handful of Republicans to break from party such that 218 House and 68 Senate votes could be achieved. Furthermore, the Senate would need to agree upon a non-MAGA interim POTUS or not appoint one, and then extraordinary POTUS elections would need to be held and the electorate not make the same mistakes again. Odds of occurring: snowball's chance. Not gonna happen.

The action alternative to that is massive numbers of calls to representatives, attendance of town halls, and large-scale protests to attempt to limit political maneuvering. People in America aren't rich and can't afford to take time off work to protest, so protesting off hours is more convenient... seems kind of insulting and elitist for you to dismiss civic participation.

And then there's the people who shout "impeach" or other absurdities, or criticize others taking actions while doing nothing themselves.

I wonder if Roman art took on a bleaker tone around the time of the fall of the republic too. That fictional art is a partial predictor of the sociological unconscious.
