He certainly wouldn't be out "balled". Those guys are cowards.

It's one of the only things in the constitution they are required to have. I don't understand how privatizing it was ever constitutional.

I've always wondered what would be uncovered about RBRs cars from last year that allowed them to be so dominant. I wonder if it was something like this.

It's money laundering.

He's gonna start talking about crime as well. Republicans always do

Obviously it's a Congressional responsibility. She could, however, prioritize the enforcement of existing laws without any new laws needed.

The trick is: are the laws that are currently on the books good enough to enforce?

A lot of them are old or for a different time or slightly different scenarios. For example, a lot of the anti-trust laws can get skirted because modern business practices might not "technically" meet the definition of the law even if the spirit of the law is absolutely being violated.

And the supreme Court just eliminated the executive branches authority to 'clarify'/'interpret' how they should be enforced in modern society. (At least that's my understanding of the Chevron deference stuff).

Can we talk about what defining things like this as a "right" means?

Otherwise voting to call it a "right" seems super performative. What's the consequence of making this a right?

One thing that I've always found interesting is that silicon valley has a common start up strategy that is basically: do well enough to get bought buy your bigger competition. Basically, be a threat so your VCs can cash in when a Google, Facebook, etc buys you.

I'm other words, Silicon Valley has a start up culture that feeds an anticompetitive/anti-trust ecosystem. No one complains because they are all making money. It's the users who slowly suffer and we end up were we are not with 5 companies running the modern web and Internet infrastructure.

Lmfao what's his plan?????

It won't be worse. The current administration wouldn't be supporting it or sanctioning it like last time.

The clowns that would try to commit sedition again would be managed just fine. The Capitol will be locked down and the national guard will be called up.

Trump losing is the only option for American democracy. He will be irrelevant after this next loss. The party will 180° on him as soon as he loses. Especially when they lose down the ballot and lose both chambers.

They are looking for any reason to get their party back that would do it.

"they are the same picture" -my wife

There are certain people that I am happy when I find out they don't like me. It's like a badge of honor. I would be offended if they liked me.

Harris has got to feel that way about this.
