“If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order”
I’m speechless.
“The constitution is clear on this. There are a lot of things where it’s ambiguous, but it doesn’t give unilateral regulatory authority for election to the president,” Persily said.


MAGA is the swamp. Always has been.


Aah, I did not consider Netflix & Spotify. yeah that makes sense. I never paid for those either. But of course you can only self-host media if you first get it from somewhere*.
I do wonder who takes money separately/only for calendar hosting.
But yeah, all in all that amounts to a lot, and considering you can have a VPS with decent storage for under €10/mo. - it’s really the best solution.


That’s interesting. Can you elaborate?


I was going to think up something more elaborate, but this is enough.
I’m also a bit of an electronics hoarder recycler, which probably got me into Linux in the first place. And Linux proved me right: old hardware is still good. My first server was a 32 bit laptop.
I also work in the social sector btw.


They can do more than one thing at the same time. Every bit helps. Relentlessly.


I’ve reached an age where Im reminded of this constantly at all levels.
There’s this German song from the 70s:
Was kann schöner sein auf Erden
Als Politiker zu werden?
Du kannst dir auf leisen Sohlen
Dein Schäfchen ins Trock’ne holen
So, already in the 70s it was common knowledge that, as a politician, you start working on your retirement early. Silently. Then, when the shit hits the fan, all your sheep are safe and dry.


Hot take:
Most US corruption hasn’t even been proven yet, or is essentially legal today, so it doesn’t even show up in such statistics.
Works both ways:
Republican => gallows => me: lots of laughs
said he was going to write a dissertation
Thankfully, him being a Trumpist, that means fuck all.
Wikipedia:
The God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, also known as the Trump Bible, is an anthology or compilation of texts (…) in the realm of American Civil Religion and Trumpism, containing an edition of the King James Version of the Christian Bible, alongside texts related to the foundation and politics of the United States such as a purposefully incomplete version of the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Ah yes, the separation of State and Religion.
The first footnote specifies:
In the back, the Bibles included the Constitution, but Amendments 11-27 [are] missing.
So this is what Johnson means when he says: “go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it — that’s my worldview”
The included KJV Bible is complete btw, according to another article. In other words: he simply did not read the passage in question. The Bible is made for cherry picking, and MAGA have mastered that art. No surprises.
No you didn’t. It’s not going anywhere, but it will always be a minority compared to SAAS.
It is. But now I want cooking-related metaphors for the relentless attacks coming in from everywhere, the need for encryption etc. Please.


you beat me to it.


profit-obsessed
Aren’t all for-profit companies obsessed with profit? At the very least those with stocks. Yes, it’s an obsession, but it’s so normalised that writing it out feels like a pleonasm.


It’s almost* never a good sign when a German term has an English Wikipedia page.
* notable exception: Rechtsstaat
Exactly. No MAGA cares about contempt charges; quite the opposite, they’d wear it like a badge of honor.
But still, one has to start somewhere. Or everywhere at the same time.
