‘former officials’
… it isn’t courageous and won’t mean anything until CURRENT officials do the same, en masse. They’re mostly too scared of losing their cushy positions. Cowards.
Canada has always used paper, hand-counted ballots. Why anyone would trust their elections to machines which can be sabotaged is beyond me. Perhaps use them to check human-counted results, not the other way 'round.
Takes too long? Recruit more volunteers. Or, heaven forbid, pay them. Something this important deserves the resources to do it transparently and accurately.
Or, please consider Devuan as well, to ensure there are distros without hard dependencies on systemd, an expansive attempt to cement IBM/RedHat’s control over the direction of Linux through foundational changes to the init, filesystem, login, homedir, and other components…
Please don’t bother replying to change my mind… never gonna like systemd no matter what. If it works for you, fine. Some of us still find it wholly unnecessary.
I put on my robe and wizard hat
When our last TV which was ‘smart’ died, we just bought a big lcd monitor at the pawn shop. We already were only using Kodi on an Android box, so a monitor with external speaker is fine. (Seemed spyware free last time I checked, but beware no-name android media boxes on=from eBay etc., use a tiny or old spare PC instead if you wish).
One must ‘sail the high seas’ tovget content, of course…
Debugging pretty much any multithreaded application…
I’m sure he’ll wear this as a badge of honour, so that’s a backfire for sure.
As it should be! I hope in the long-term, that is proven to be true.
I would like to say, for the record, that I wrote that late at night, and my phrasing probably came across incorrectly.
It wasn’t my intention to call you personally ‘a peon’. I was trying more to adopt the voice, for argument’s sake, of what an imagined President, using this supposed absolute immunity, might say to their critics – ‘who are you (out there, the people) to question my power?’
My apologies for it coming out the way it did.
What? Oh no, I had not written down the recipe for using gasoline to cook my spaghetti! Whatever shall I do?
Exactly. The Democratic party needs to push the issue and make the GOP see that the Leopards can eat their face too.
Exactly. Maybe I didn’t propose the “right” action – the entire point is that if the SCOTUS won’t rule a president does not have absolute immunity, and is subject to the law of the land, then really ANYTHING is possible isn’t it?
But Trump is currently asserting in court that he does have that power! Absolute immunity remember? Who are you to say, peon, that the POTUS cannot dissolve the SCOTUS? He has absolute immunity, remember? That means he has absolute power to do anything!
What I was trying to say is that Biden should call the bluff, and force the SCOTUS to decide right now. Why not? If the POTUS really does have absolute immunity, why not? Do you see the insanity this road leads down?
I’ll say it again: since the SCOTUS intends to slow-walk a decision on presidential ‘absolute immunity’, Biden needs to announce RIGHT NOW that he’s dissolving the SCOTUS effective 2 weeks from the time of the announcement, at midnight, intending to appoint an all-new roster of his choosing, as well as replacing all state-level judges, also of his administration’s choosing.
If the SCOTUS, on the other hand, suddenly finds they do have the time to make a decision on presidential immunity before that deadline, well maybe Biden won’t do it, after all.
But immigration <> birth rate. Within 1 or 2 generations those new people will also not want to have kids since they won’t be able to afford anything either.
Wow, another jerk CEO? I thought they were such nice people! We need to stop rewarding a-holes in society.
I’m real (or am I? Bwahaha).
True. I hope it bubbles up to those who have ‘more to lose’ and they put country over career and party.
