Of course, spelling was never my strong suit.

I do appreciate being corrected. Thank you…

And you underestimate the disadvantage of an uninformed and disinterested electorate, a politically chosen Supreme Court and a political system co-opted to serve corporate interests.

Only if you take what I said very literally. The Chinese and the Russians are concluding, I’m sure you would agree.

I’m not sure your allegory is very apt.

Difficult to argue against, except America is doing this too us as well, and we don’t get a vote.

That’s true. The US has been interfering in other country’s domestic affairs for decades. Organising the odd coup, overthrowing elected leaders. Suddenly people are shocked to learn that it can work both ways.

A country with strong democratic institutions are pretty resilient to these tactics. You might not trust the politicians, but you trust the officials, the military and the courts.

It seems that the US has dismantled trust in these institutions for a long time. It has let corporations run the show. So Russia and China have an easier task.

I don’t see anybody stopping you from saying anything you want to say, so stop playing the victim.

Trump is a uniquely American problem. You guys either elected him, or didn’t care enough to vote. Shit, his popularity is still almost 50% now even after he destroyed the economy.

Your argument is that the American people are so stupid that they were manipulated by foreign actors (TWICE) into electing an obvious fuckwit.

Well, ok, if you insist,

Nah-uh. No blaming China or Russia on this one. The United States did this squarely to themselves with the world pleading otherwise. They inserted their own head in the vice and started spinning the handle.

Sure, it aligns with the communist block’s benefit, but the US really needs to be held accountable for its own idiocy on this one. Its the first step in recovery.

Not in anyway an expert on matters naval, but diesel subs are pretty quiet running on electric motors. Nuclear reactors make more noise.

Feel free to correct me.

Actually, in every definition of the word, on the international stage, he most definitely speaks for you.

If not, please go ahead and overturn the tariff bullshit.

The whole “no legal precedence”. Has been a thing for a few years now. We have what used to be called chaos nowadays.

Trump is just a sock puppet for the corporations and ideological doom players behind him. He has no idea what’s going on most of the time.

War on orgasms. Catchy political slogan.

So if a lab rat adds, deletes or edits a person’s DNA it is no longer a ‘product of nature’?

I did this over a year ago, requesting that they delete my shit.

I got a nice email back saying that they would do so, but would retain necessary material to comply with local laws and law enforcement obligations.

So, my best bet is they didn’t delete anything. I only hope is that they don’t put it on the open market.

Even it true (and I’m sure that you’re right), are you seriously telling me that Roberts’ ragtag blob of clerks and security guards will overcome Trump’s FBI and Federal security apparatus?

Or is your point just a technical correction?

I don’t think that deputising a few people is going to disarm Donnie. Especially after their ruling that any “official acts” he makes are legal and legitimate.

He’ll fold like a beach chair. Rather than be humiliated by having their rulings ignored, they’ll just agree with the Republicans on everything.

Judges are political appointees so they deliver a political ruling. Everyone is acting shocked. They’ve been doing this shit for decades. The only difference is that they’ve turned it up a couple of notches.

Didn’t Justice Samuel Alito fly an upside-down flag outside their home in 2021? He blamed his wife, but it was a clear MAGA bat signal, if there ever was one.

You don’t have to have political parties pick your preferred brand of justice. Shocking as that might sound, most other western democracies don’t do it.

The supreme court doesn’t have a police force to enforce their rulings. JD Vance worked that out before the election. It relies upon the Federal government, as an institution, to follow it’s will. Then came MAGA and the LOLs will ensure.

Didn’t one of the space shuttles almost holed by a fleck of paint?
