Happy Fourth! As a public service, @ryanlcooper will help you update your Constitution by showing you all of the various sections that the Supreme Court has rendered inoperative.

This quote seems eerily apropos right now.

New in PN: The Supreme Court gives Trumpian autocrats a map for abusing power "Faced with a loss, a lame-duck president now can, in the 10 weeks after the election, weaponize the DOJ to help overturn an election and suffer no criminal consequences."

Spreading this around as it's the best analogy I've heard. R's wield power like a sword, Dems like a shield. So, no, there's to be no action except give pretty speeches and hope that everyone will behave and "trust in the nation to do the moral thing".

You know how sometimes in war there’s the one side who has rules and thinks they know how war is fought but then they’re shocked, SHOCKED, when the other side runs out of the bushes and like, stabs their horses and shit? And that side wins? Yeah I think about that phenomenon a lot these days.

I still find it surprising that there's enough of a group of "middle voters" that a debate is happening. What's the middle ground to be debated? Are you pro or anti fascist. Pretty simple choice without any middle ground. But hey, Middle America, you do you I guess.

Piracy of TV shows is always a net plus to everyone, especially when large media conglomerates are involved.

I don't think it's limited to you per se. There's lots of authors I love and I miss their new releases constantly. Most of the time because I'm engrossed in reading the last book I missed the release of or I'm engaged in the release of a coming soon book I just found out about. Whee Hyperfixations!

Also, commentary that I just never understand coming from more centrist views is that idea of "legacy". Y'all said the same of Mitch and his "legacy". And of Bush Jr. And of so many other Reps. They don't care about history other than winning for their team. Legacy is pointless when you don't care.

You're assuming Roberts gives a damn. He may be the most ethical Republican member of SCOTUS but he's still a Republican. Just as we've already seen with Thomas, Roberts intends to do exactly nothing against his colleagues.

Remember, it's not just the one. Uncle Thomas is just as bad, if not worse than. And Kavanaugh is probably very well bought and paid for, we just haven't seen how well yet.

Nah it was a pop up company from the beginning meant to sound cool to tech bros and flashy words that capitalized on new market terms. They built themselves to sell and if HP is dumb enough to buy out a pure VC company, that's on them.

So, cheater lentil stew! 1 cup lentils + 1 can red gold or HEB diced tomatoes with green chilies and water. Add cumin to taste, garlic, salt, and pepper. All into a pan, cook as normal. Gives you "Mexican" lentil stew. If you don't mind a little extra, add 2 beef bouillon cubes but no salt.
