Why? A majority of people support doing more to address climate change but the powers that be don’t represent the interests of anyone except the people that are actively trying to make it worse.

I like Mark Cuban for the whole https://www.costplusdrugs.com/ thing he’s doing. I have no idea whether or not he’s a decent guy, but this is a decent thing to do, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Once upon a time you had to present both sides in order to keep your operating license. There’s no reason we couldn’t do a similar thing today that covered OTA broadcast, cable, and social media companies, except for the fact that rich people don’t want the public to be informed. If it was up to me, advertising during news or opinion pieces would be prohibited entirely. News should cost companies money, not generate it.

In an unsigned order, the court stopped short of ordering the return of the migrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, indicating that courts may not have the power to require the executive branch to do so
This is the most important part to me. Supreme Clowns don’t have the authority to override the Executive? What power do they have then?

Well, they all have to spend 2 weeks at a trump hotel on the way, which is, of course, the standard deportation procedure.

I like them because they’re so cheap. Plus SmartTube is the only way I can bear to watch youtubes on the TV anymore.

At this level it doesn’t even have to be a bribe. I’m sure the judge is aware of stochastic terrorism. They may just want to continue living and be genuinely afraid of what sort of mob twitter could reign down on them.
Surely Merrick Garland will take care of this as soon as the Democrats win in 2028 and restore him!

I’d expect Ds to go along with legislation to strip that power from the executive branch, but getting his own party to undermine president loaded diaper is going to be impossible.

Spout nonsense with enough confidence and you can wield unimaginable power. Am I talking about LLMs or president poopy pants?

I did it and it never occurred to me to even ask what other people thought about it. It was a benefit available to me, so I took advantage of it. If your coworkers said that real men don’t care about their teeth, would it stop you from going to the dentist? Coworkers come and go but family is for life.
