Lord Liaden Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 The Supreme Court disallowed Biden's plan to forgive a huge debt amount in one shot. So he set about doing it piecemeal, in incremental amounts that are unlikely to be challenged. That shows a degree of adaptability that I've rarely seen in US presidents.

csyphrett Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Fani Willis filed paperwork for permission to investigate ties between Mike Roman the defendant who accused her of favoritism to Nate Wade and Nate Wade's ex-wife who tried to make her sit for a disposition since they are apparently going out. They filed their motions against her on the same day which is odd since the divorce happened in 2022 after the ex-wife was caught with another man. If the investigation uncovers a money trail, then it will look like Roman paid the ex-wife to cause trouble before his own court date made it to trial. Macafee has scheduled a hearing on this.

If you don't have time, maybe you can feed the transcript to ChatGPT or another LLM for a summary. If it doesn't grab your attention, then don't watch it. If you're a busy person, it's honestly probably not worth your time. I don't really like the Adam guy, but the other guy makes some interesting comments on the history of the modern conservative movement.

Lord Liaden Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 "As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God." -- 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4 tkdguy and Old Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 1977 National Womens Conference Houston The article makes a good point, I think. The rise of the right wing in the United States did not begin with Trump, and it won't end with his final defeat, either. This began a long time ago, with Phyllis Schlafly being one of the strongest advocates of patriarchal ultra-conservatism and her successors--Taylor-Greene, Boebert, Lake, and all the women like them. The progressives in this nation didn't quite know how to deal with them back then, and from all indications, they still don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 This probably has to go in here, rather in the other news thread. It's about Australia rather than the US though.

It should technically be the same as if someone who doesn't meet the age requirements or other restrictions--the candidate is ineligible, and can't be certified per the Constitution. Additionally, each state determines if write-in votes are accepted, this is Nevada's take: Quote Can I write my name on the ballot or write someone else's name on the ballot as a candidate? No. Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 293.270 prohibits write-in candidacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Yeah, they start their rundown with the total botch job in re the campaign launch on Twitter...I've seen that one noted in some other places. Even if it worked, it was boneheaded. And their last one is, as has been said here... Quote He capped his national humiliation by endorsing Trump Florida has term limits for the governor, and DeSantis is in his last term. It wouldn't surprise me that his political career may basically be over. Maybe he can win a Senate seat in Florida? Plausible, I suppose, but he's coming out of this *so* battered, even that seems unlikely. Granted, he's already done enough damage to his state and the country for a lifetime.....

Lord Liaden Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 My bet is that DeSantis is angling for a cushy post-gubernatorial job in a future Trump administration. Donnie is infamous for overlooking almost any past offense, if the offender subsequently grovels to him enough. Iuz the Evil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
