It is not coup d’état. The Polish Constitution says President takes part on judge swearing ceremony. It doesn’t say he has a veto.

He used it as a veto by refusing to sworn, because, his party few years earlier forcefully replaced judges (breaking Constitution) with their people to hold the majority and now is afraid to lose it.

He is fucking trump little.

Oh yeah, after he returned he beat up one of the judges.

Her.

Also I meant Miss Switzerland

There are new things, like for example ex Miss Switzerland saying that Trump raped her.

I guess it is old, in the sense that pedos do more pedo stuff.

The way trump and people around him act it looks like putin already has all the details what they did.

I did Nazi that coming.

Why others government employees are public, but ICE has some special treatment? Is it because they are really trump’s gestapo?

Again, Democratic party isn’t a single party. The First Past The Post is mathematically leading to two dominant parties. That’s why we currently have Republicans vs everyone else. If Republicans pay would get dissolved Democrats could easily split into conservatives and progressives.

If we want to have more parties the only way is either to change to proportional representation (the number of seats is determined by the percentage of views won) kind of difficult to change in US.

Or replace FPTP with RCV.

This is why MAGA didn’t start as a separate party and instead hijacked Republicans. Progressives need to do the same with the Democratic party.

California? Because the ballot sounds familiar.

With the judges though I think it was just coincidence as there are still elections that all is to decide. These were because those judges term was going up and we were asked if the judge should be continue to hold the office for another term.

I personally think that the governor should appoint judges, the Senate should confirm them and we should be able to vote them out (majority vote) in case they abuse their position.

I think that voting out could be good for federal judges and SCOTUS as well.

Blue no matter who, but also vote in primaries, where you can change the “who”.

Check donors, check caucuses they are in. For example Blue Dogs caucus that’s essentially Republicans who don’t like trump.

They wrote: “at the University of Kentucky (UK)”, they could write “at the University of Kentucky (a.k.a. UK)” or “at the UK (University of Kentucky)” any of those would be less ambiguous.

Right now, Republicans control the White House, Senate, House and SCOTUS.

There’s very little Democrats can do if they won’t get some Republicans to join them.

This is why we should be creating the pressure on our politicians (yes, especially if they are Republicans) we also have opportunity to give Democrats control of the House and Senate which would change dynamics (yes, SCOTUS and trump would still stand in the way, but at least Democrats could do anything).

Yes, you might be frustrated with Biden, that he tried to return to the status quo, and that perhaps would actually work if Americans didn’t vote trump back in, but it happened. Now it is very clear we can’t return to the status quo and change is inevitable. We either create improved and better America (which happened in the past) or let it slip into authoritarianism.

Also DNC isn’t one coherent party it is made up of smaller ones, it’s basically party for everyone who doesn’t support today’s Republican party. There are caucuses like for example Blue Dogs which essentially are Republicans who don’t like trump. There’s also Promise to America (let’s just compromise with Republicans) and so called New Democrats which are described as center left, but everywhere else they would be right leaning.

So Democrats have to negotiate with themselves whatever they want to do. If you are unhappy help vote then out.

For example, here is a spreadsheet that helps to track their performance:

I’m glad to see it is getting more and more progressive, but we need more.

LOL when I read it my first impression was: Oh wow, I didn’t know UK also had a city called Kentucky, good that they pointed out it is not in US.

I am not even talking about guns. Just having attitude that voting is our right and they have no control over it that they supposed to work for us (instead of being scared of them).

There’s way more of us than them and they are the most chicken shit.

Notice how trump’s is so aggressive with attacks, but immediately backs down whenever there’s actual resistance, or how musk was using his kid as a shield? Those people are scared of us, we shouldn’t be scared of them.

This is iMO slightly different. Notice that all leaders sheltered by trump were from equivalent pro Russia far right parties. Orban from Hungary, Ziobro from Poland, Bolsonaro from Brazil etc.

They all worked together and sending money they stole from their countries to support each other. For example CPAC was funded by Orban. You don’t hear much about it now that he lost power.

He only succeeds if we let him.

There’s reason why US Constitution starts with “We the People”. We are letting them represent us, but if they fail we can reclaim the power.

We learned, we put mechanisms in place. We got people in power that actually wants this to happen so they steal even more wealth from us.

I think there should be no bailouts.

Since it is remote execution in UEFI, does that mean if you compromised the system you can now use this to install a backdoor in the firmware so wiping and reinstalling won’t help?

It has its issues, but yeah currently it is the cheapest source of power, it got so cheep that individuals can build their personal power plant for their home.

And we still have idiots fighting it. Even if you don’t care about environment (you are “drill baby drill” kind of person) it still makes sense economically.

It’s even crazier that no one on the right got upset about comparing him to Saddam.

More like “Donald Trump’s criminal defense lawyer who happens to also be an Attorney General”

This was always failure of the Senate for confirming him.

Even ignoring his corruption, as a defense attorney is not allowed to disclose any of his client’s secrets.

So for example how he was expected handling Epstein files? Such a clear conflict of interest.

That’s one thing, second things is that his name was 3rd most mentioned name in the released files after Maxwell and of course Epstein.

He clearly wasn’t just a customer but part of the conspiracy. His whole modeling business was likely providing young girls to be exploited.
