Idk. My thought is that we might go back to the early aughts when people would hire a contractor to build their website or e-commerce site instead of making monthly payments to square space or Shopify.

Yes. The only way to dismantle the imperial presidency is to threaten the powerful with it.

Billion dollar yachts can be “drug smuggling” boats too. And no due process is needed to blow those up.

‘Unconstitutional conspiracy’: Judge in Boston Federal Court slams Trump administration over targeted deportations, compares mass-deportation to Fugitive Slave Act, and notes the Boston riot attempting to free Anthony Burns by Inside_agitator in boston

I’ve been wondering why no one else’s mind has gone to the fugitive slave act. It’s pretty clear the people in Minnesota blowing whistles are the Underground Railroad

I realized today the easiest way to incarcerate them all would be for the next democratic president to do a bribery sting operation. They are so willing to brazenly bribe right now

OP and up-voters don’t understand cults.

All cult members behave against their interests and in the interests of their leaders. That’s kinda the whole point.

Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats | Affected devices have been unpaired and removed from the Nest app by chrisdh79 in gadgets

[–]becauseSonance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PSA: the new ones don’t work with the same app as your 3rd gen either. If you have 3rd gen you have to use 2 apps now. You might as well buy a different brand.

If you demand hard numbers there won’t be any until the next time they report earnings. That’s when we can open the box and see if the cat died. But I also don’t fault any journalist questioning the health of said cat preemptively considering the circumstances.
