L. Marcus

A couple of funnies from xkcd:
 

 

I'm just going to take a moment to provide context regarding Beau. The title of his video is, "Let's talk about Trump, Seal Team Six, and rivals." That is the subject of the video, no false advertising; and he doesn't outline how he's going to link those, although anyone could draw their own conclusions. Provocative? Sure. As L. Marcus points out, he has to intrigue to draw views. Click bait? That's open to interpretation.
 
The scenario is one actually brought up in the trial, including the use of Seal Team Six. Beau pointed out that what Trump's own legal team is arguing the courts should define as presidential immunity, leads logically to the President being able to do such a thing without penalty unless Congress acts -- which his lawyers stated -- and that the threat of such force would make it practically impossible for Congress to act. And as unclevlad mentioned, Trump's team is already vetting loyalists for high level positions in his administration, who would be expected to not oppose such an order. We know this because his associates have said so, in so many words. (That was the subject of another Beau video.)
 
Take Seal Team Six out of the equation -- which wasn't even Beau's example -- and the scenario becomes probable if Trump gets what he's demanding. But even if he doesn't, it's a stark reminder and warning of what kind of man he is, what he wants, and what his return as POTUS would mean for America. That's what Beau underscores in the video.

But my point is that this wasn't how it was presented by Beau. He goes on about it as if it's an actual possibility. That was my read on it. I may be being over negative due to lack of sleep b/c of my back. I do find the guy grating in the first place (no fault of his to be sure), so that doesn't help.

And in the bizarre realm of ups-and-downs that my life has become, today's long-hoped-for cry-for-joy moment: my daughter shipped out on her full-time first job today.

Today the prognosis was made terminal.

A toast for David Bowie, Lynchpin of Reality!

I had to explain the line to my daughter & her friend this evening (they were using a command-line prompt to circumvent a monetization grab when copying files, which is what brought it to mind).

Trump cannot legally qualify for Nevada’s 2024 primary ballot
 
 

Where does the rocket engine go?

One of the apes, obviously.

It truly delights me that I live on the opposite side of the continent to where Sydney Funnel Webs do.
 

I'm suspicious.  How likely is it that no two states have the same top search terms?
 

 
Cartholicism.  

If the pose holds for more than four hours, please consult a physician.

Let's see if this works now...

Where Eagles Dare. It's a classic actioner, innit.

What the title says! Let's hope 2024 is one of the better years.

The one below the one and above the other definitely looks sus.
