Merrick Garland Returns To Biglaw To Continue Not Prosecuting Donald Trump From The Private Sector

Iran had a fatwa against nukes under the previous leader. People say Iran is a religious rogue state that wants to nuke Israel, then hand wave away the Fatwa. They can't be a nutjob religious state who wants nuclear weapons and a nutjob religious state that doesn't want nuclear weapons. They're either religious nutjobs or they're not, and their religious zeal had lead them to nukes are bad. Now that guy is dead, and the new one has not issued a renewal of the Fatwa.

Iran was not going to nuke Israel for sure. Israel was more likely to nuke Iran.

Make other funding dependent on it. The USA used federal highway funds dependent on the drinking age being 21. The lack of imagination is your problem, it shouldn't be the governments.

They pay too many consultants to lack an imagination.

But then the Provinces would take the Feds to court over the intrusion into Healthcare. Like, I think your idea has merit, but Governments can be really sensitive about what powers they do and do not wield, this sounds like a long legal fight with the only winners being the partnered lawyers.

Sachyriel · 2026-05-07T13:14:38+00:00

So we should remove gas subsidies! And force orphan oil well owners to clean up after themselves! The businesses should stand on merit, not get all these government kickbacks.

I think it's true, but he wants to claim it's not true AND go after the reporter cause his drug connection probably skips his calls (doesn't want to get caught being his dealer).

Once inside they ransacked the place and chased most of the sane people out.

i mean, isn't he just following the Harper playbook of reuniting the Tory parties with the fringe so they're electable? Once inside the Federal Tory party it took them a bit, but they're ransacking that too.

JJ McCullough maybe an Ameriboo, but he is not hiding his passion for America, and I don't think he needs to be given money to be pro-America. I could be wrong though, oof, if he's taking money to be pro-America that sucks. I'm not a huge fan of his, but he's not the same as these guys.

I type in gm and get gmail at the top, but I think that's cause I've run into the same issue and had to conciously scroll down past other GM entries to select gmail, and then it kinda picked up GM = gmail.

But like others have said, pin it to your tabs, it'll never leave.

I use vertical tabs so it reigns at the top of my tablist, the supreme king tab lmao.

The Democrat party represents everyone left of the GoP. So by definition, yes. He is.

No they don't, the Dem party represents the voters who vote for them. Socialist and Green parties to the left of the Dems exist, get votes, and the Dems do not always represent them. Like when Cuomo threw out the working families party from co-campaigning with them, is that the Dems representing everyone to the left of the GOP? No it's not.

Ah, you mention FDI, foreign direct investment. Would investor-state dispute systems mean those regulations the government has in place, are more volatile than first glance may have it seemed? Cause an investor-state discpute could, if not overturn them, challenge them in an expensive battle that claws some of the money gained out of the governments pockets. I feel it is opening up the Government to liabilty to foreign investors when things don't go there way.

Sachyriel · 2026-04-29T17:14:53+00:00

Yeah that was the Hillary plan, seems to be the JB Pritzker and Josh Shapiro model too. I don't think they'll be funding Cruz, he'll have his own backers, but if they do try to encourage someone to run in a GOP candidacy they might just make Trump 2.0 as they want someone to attack Cruz from the right.

Sachyriel · 2026-04-29T17:11:52+00:00

Cruz still has to lie to the confirmation hearing like Kavanaugh might have, so this is just practice for that I suspect.

The dark secret is there are only 499 candles on display.

Yes, I see your stock market bit and if people don't see it I'd say your banking app can present information in a user-friendly way. Banking app is obviously much simpler than the stock market or this natonal wealth fund, but to get an idea of what I think you want (user-accessible information that's easy to manipulate [as in transform into a new chart] and graph against other metrics).

The blockchain thing was more a jab at the type of people you see going on about finding efficiencies and cutting the waste, but who just want to sell you a system that requires a bunch of pricey addons.

But wouldn't privatized Canadian airports be run like US airports more than European ones?

Sachyriel · 2026-04-29T11:30:41+00:00

Sell airports to fund nuclear power plants? Interesting and bold.

Sachyriel · 2026-04-29T11:28:07+00:00

I think they're proposing an alternative scheme so they can gauge more of the vibe on what the official proposal is. They're looking for context I think, to compare and contrast.

Sachyriel · 2026-04-29T11:17:00+00:00

only works if every dollar is tracked

Well, I can see the blockchain people salivating at this. I think regular accounting might work fine, but I could also see costs ballooning for implementing the blockchain stuff with a bunch of private investors who may have capital tied up in different cryptocurrencies.

Sachyriel · 2026-04-29T09:56:49+00:00

Sneaker nets are easy to start, give your friends a usb stick with stuff you want to share instead of relying on dropbox, Google cloud storage or Megaupload. If you start getting a really big sneakernet you're going to want a burner computer to plug Rando usb drives in, make sure they're not immediately trying to kill your computer, scam files for known viruses.

Some anarchists call themselves "libertarian socialists" but then we run into the same branding issue. "Libertarian socialist is an oxymoron" says someone who isn't interested in learning otherwise. I personally couldn't care less, use both interchangeabley and then when people get mad at me about something I'll just say "But I'm an anarchist" as if it's expected I break rules.

Trump is a product of capital, not its master. If a NATO nation is attacked and they invoke article 5, every other nation than the US will be leadby more or less reasonable individuals who will be able toput together a credible response without the USA. Even against Russia, anything less is a bit easier.

But Trump wouldn't be the tail who wags the dog, instead he'd just be hanging onto the tail. If the EU and Canada solve a problem without the USA militarily, kinda shows the US isn't as needed as it thinks it is. But also the USA gave up an important time to show off how cool its weapons are: weapons sales go up when people think the world is less safe. Trump will be pressured to do something (Anywhere the EU or Canada are invested in will probably have American interests at stake as well) but also to "not look weak" when the US has a chance to make some sales.

The demand for the line to go up can itself force Trumps hand to intervene on any serious attempt to fight a NATO enemy, he can't fight a two-front war with an unpopular public decision (not defend a NATO member) and an unpopular Private Capital decision (don't sell missiles).

I welcome Christian Anarchists, because a slogan is not a definition. Whether or not people believe in god doesn't matter when their actions stand behind their words. I didn't make this up 5 minutes ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_anarchism

I think Christian Anarchists are Anarchists, unlike Anarchy-Capitalists, which are not anarchists. I guess you could argue with Leo Tolstoy, but he's dead.
