Senators are very different in many ways. They are very powerful, and feel a responsibility to their position for the most part. That includes advise and consent, part of the Constitution. It takes just as many Republican votes to call a recess as to confirm a nominee. Don’t forget, also, that until DeWine and DeSantis do their bit, they will be two votes short.

Yes, You go right ahead and take on Facebook, Google, Apple and Microsoft, potato head boy…and watch what happens…you’ll be in court for years and years with nothing to show for it…and lose your position in 2028 with nothing to show for it…

Censorship…such an unoriginal putz…

98 billion is a whole lot of money. Helene was a bitch.

I said it was a fair point.

I also said there were exceptions.

Fair point, however, incompetency at Secetary of Homeland, for instance, makes you less safe.

The Senate can’t turn down too many Trump appointees until they are looked on as an obstruction to their own party. So, you’ll definitely lose Gaetz, but Trump has flooded the zone with incompetence.

It’s true that Steven Miller came up with the first ban. The same Steven Miller who has been announced as part of the Trump 2.0 administration. It happened before, you have to be a little crazy to think it wouldn’t happen again.

I’m past the point of caring, let the bread and circus commence. The American public, it seems, must learn shit the hard way.

This should be good.

And by good, I mean a flaming dumpster-fire shitshow of gross incompetence

Enjoy Muslim Ban 2.0

Seizing control of the media and military. Points one and two of seizing control of gov’t.

During the 1930s when there was a mass Mexican deportation, there were a lot of US citizens rounded up and deported. Don’t trust these guys will not make the same mistake. Of course, a decade later, Mexicans streamed across the border to mind farms and ranches while US manpower was in WWII. They kinda helped win the war by keeping the nation and it’s troops fed.

Bloomberg is reporting that North Korea could send as many as 100,000 troops to Ukraine. There really is no choice given that.

Drip drip drip

Bernie is older than Biden.

There are problems with the case. The girl turned into a porn strar and is not a good witness. Another witness was found guilty of fraud and theft.

The Christian charity toward sex pests is truly boundless

I have many different accounts for some time. People like King thought they definitely wait for Musk to end. BlueSky had not reached the number of users, and types, to make it interesting and useful. In the end, for apps like Mastedon, this is the driver for popularity. Bluesky is much better now, though still missing some types of feeds

They were so angry they broke into a Haka while taring up the bill. I really like the Haka tradition

So successful it got sued into oblivion
