  • Colorado's Supreme Court found that he engaged in an insurrection and was therefore ineligible. Then SCOTUS basically said "uh, this gives me the federal feelsies because it's a federal office, so Congress has to do it"

    Feels like all Congress has to do is say that the first term didn't count. But to be honest I can see poor health catching up to him first anyway.

  • I made it on the fly, but the point is that the clout goes away when 1) you're not my senator, 2) you're not a legislator in my country and 3) you go against everything I stand for - what kind of clout am I supposed to feel from someone like that?

  • I mean, I don't totally disagree here, but I'm not sure what kind of clout that's supposed to hold under team Trump.

    Like, understanding this isn't a perfect analogy, if I were working in an American prison holding a Russian prisoner and a Putin-aligned legislator wanted to see that prisoner I would take great pleasure in telling them to fuck off if I had that power.

  • Philippines was a US territory

    that hasn’t been true since 1946.

    I mean... It was a US territory. Well, at least it was under control of the US in some way. I think one of/the first cruel and unusual constitutional challenges was over something that originated in the Philippines.

  • I think Lemmy can get alarmist at times, sure. But when people are getting punished without due process, that's a big deal. When the Justice department admits they made a mistake but have no interest in correcting it, that's a big deal. When judges (and the Supreme Court) tell them to figure it out (edit: and they don't), that's a big deal. When the reason they give (the people are deported to another country and in their custody) is essentially a workaround that the Justice department came up with, and they don't have any meaningful consequence to stop them from doing it again, that's a big deal.

  • Raspberry Pi 400. I thought having the built-in keyboard would be useful and as it turns out, it wasn't! My first thing running on a Pi so I didn't realize how much it depends on things running remotely. Oh well!

  • Then qualify it. But even then, while I'd definitely think twice about unnecessary border crossings, there are surely plenty of queer or people of color going through the border without getting that not-joking best-case-scenario held for days treatment.

  • Sorry, best case scenario is that you're held for days? Where are they keeping these planes full of passengers and crew that are coming into international airports everywhere on a daily basis?

    The US is embarrassing. So are "not joking" comments like this.

  • How much could it cost to have a handful of requested groceries for a few chefs, knowing some of whom won't move further, compared to the entire cost of producing the show?
