What branch of government has war powers authority, according to the US Constitution?

You really think SCOTUS would have given Biden a fair shot? After blocking Biden’s student loan forgiveness EOs but giving Trump near full immunity. It’s clear they would have skewered Biden first chance. Hell, House Republicans brought in Hillary for private Epstein testimony, leaked it against the rules they’d agreed to, then proceeded to ask her about UFOs and Pizzagate. There is no symmetry to their rule making and rule breaking.

This is the circumstance you decry Biden for not extrajudicially murdering his fascist opponents when he supposedly had the chance.

No. You need to read that SCOTUS decision. The Supreme Court retained the authority to decide which actions are official acts due immunity and which are not. Therefore, had Biden attempted to use that immunity in the way you suggest, this biased SCOTUS would simply have ruled his actions unofficial and therefore not immune from prosecution.

Europe and Asia are fine alternative trading partners. Buy the Grippen and dump the F-35. Just for starters. And work out a deal with China for EVs. Just please protect our privacy from prying Chinese eyes.

No. There is nuance to the tax cut and tax levy argument. Circumstances matter. Cutting taxes on groceries would immediately lower food prices for everyone, the poor included.

Orban is about to get his ass handed to him in national elections. Creating a foreign policy crisis is his way of trying to stay in power. We’ve seen this with Netanyahu and Trump too. It’s a distraction play.

No.

I met Steve, Alexis, and Aaron when the site was housed in Steve’s Somerville apartment. They used to throw meetups in Davis Square. This was in 2007-08, before the Digg migration.

Reddit is nothing like it was then, nor are the founders recognizable compared to what I saw all those years ago. I’m not banned, but then I rarely go there any more. Lemmy isn’t very good, but Reddit is a dumpster fire.

Nothing weird. Create panels, application launchers, add spacers, etc.

I want to be there when you set that up on the table at your next departmental meeting.

How many 16k 4116 RAM chips can your laptop handle?

I still drive an old car and this is one of many reasons why.

I run Plasma 6. Not because I like it but because I dislike it less than Gnome infuriates me.

If lack of features and customizability is my biggest gripe with Gnome, crazy instability is my gripe with KDE. Plasma is fine on defaults, but once you customize (the way it’s supposed to work), KDE becomes plain unstable. The Wacom pen input settings panel is way better in KDE than Gnome. That’s the biggest reason I stay.

I wonder if he’s finally sweating now.
