The craziest part is that the GOP would still run advertisements against him calling him a communist socialist fascist far left radical that wants to trans everybody and give all our money and jobs to those lazy freeloading illegals that he paid to vote for him.
No, actually, the craziest part is that MAGA would believe them.
As far as we know it’s not actually using any facial recognition at all.
It could just be using the scanned face to generate fake evidence of non-citizenship. It would be SUPER easy to make an app to do this using generative AI. You know, like Grok.
Not arguing your conclusion, but to answer the question regarding the question
Just appealing a ruling doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to follow the ruling. He still has to follow the ruling until a judge, any judge involved in the case, says that he doesn’t have to follow the ruling as either a temporary stay of said ruling or a permanent judgement.
So if he doesn’t do as ordered (and I agree that he won’t) he is 100% in violation of the law AND the judge’s orders.
But also he’s immune to prosecution for official acts, so why should Trump give a shit about any of that?
Yes, “weapons grade” has a higher purity being almost entirely made of fissile isotope Pu-239
“Reactor grade” has a greater variety of isotopes.
The functional difference is that the higher purity is required to make nuclear bombs, hence “weapons grade.” Purity was a significant hurdle in nuclear arms development and one if the reasons the US got the bomb before Germany or the USSR which both struggled to get sufficient purity.
They think they can bribe fascists for favorable outcomes, but what they’re still in denial about is that fascists do whatever they fuck they think will get the m them the most power in any given circumstance, including going back on promises (money paid, money taken), extorting for more money, and throwing anybody they want Uber the bus.
There’s no making deals with fascists, there’s only getting scammed by fascists.
Fascists love what the military and police represent (to them, strength and order) but any individual who deviates from the script is a traitor who deserves to have their life ruined or worse.
Just look at Kegbreath’s speech to all the generals. Fascists don’t care about reality (whether those generals were competent) but only care about the appearance of power (facial hair and too much weight around the middle don’t “look powerful” and therefore are as bad as treason).
I had no hope of a general strike, but if Democrats continue to hold out on the budget then it might happen as families run out of food, government employees get evicted, and more and more MAGA become disillusioned.
So now I have a little hope, but still very little. It seems to me that the fascists want a general strike so they feel more justified in a military crackdown. Things are still going to get worse before they get better.
SCOTUS said POTUS is immune for official acts.
I’m sure there’s no conflict of interest involved with that or anything, though. And besides, what could go wrong?
Porqué no los do–

It certainly wouldn’t be the desired outcome! But the point is that there’s money to be made either way.
When the French Blue was stolen after the revolution, it was recut and probably became the Hope Diamond.
If they can’t find a buyer, they’ll melt it down and recut any gems that are too recognizable. Easy money, if you know the right people.

Do you have a source so I can learn more about this?
I expect the White House to add “wearing a chicken suit” to their list of signs that somebody is a terrorist any moment now.
Fascists say whatever gives them the most power in any situation, reality really isn’t a factor.
They know, and they don’t care. They’re fascists; what’s allowed for them isn’t allowed for their opposition, because fairness is for the weak.
Yup, this is what I’ve heard too.
The crazy thing is that the real reason is pretty woke too (mpox is language neutral, while monkeypox is explicitly English) but learning the real reason behind something is antithetical to their belief system so instead they make up shit they think a lefty would say instead.
And the lesson the DNC learned was “try harder to appeal to fascists”
You know, like we said they would because that’s been their reaction each time they’ve lost over the last forty years
You misunderstood. They mean that the vaccine is still protecting from the strains that ARE in it, so it’s not reasonable to forego the vaccine just because of one strain that’s not in it.
