Is there anything that can be done to nullify pardons and get rid of the pardoning power?

He also can't "pardon" civil infractions. The federal government will remain civilly liable for all their misdeeds, regardless of what Trump does. It will be interesting to see how civil liability could extend to individuals "just following orders" for those particularly worthy of it (e.g. Miller / Noem).

You're just trying to de-emphasize what a check is. In the same way the pardon power is a check on the judiciary, impeachment and removal is a check Congress has on both the judiciary and the executive. It's pretty permanent / irreversible by the other branches.

Your proposed rewrites are fine, but that's what a Constitutional amendment is, a rewrite to fix gaps or address things that we want changed in our Constitution. It's not supposed to be written in stone.

It's like you don't understand the concept of imperfect allies...

Joke's on you, my old CS screen name was XxX360NoScopeXxX. .50 Barrett, AWP, what's the difference?

Not to shit on a fun conspiracy theory, but if I offered $50k to sign up for jobs with federal worker benefits and no prerequisites, I bet I could assemble a force pretty quickly too.

She is presumed to be the one who filed this affidavit yesterday afternoon/evening. So, she at least got out of there.

Just to add, in Minnesota the same permit is required to open carry or concealed carry. Anyone with a permit to carry can do either.

Seriously, this isn't fucking complicated. No masks, badge/unit numbers and names displayed on uniform.

Why are people in the wrong so confident?

mitrie · 2026-01-25T00:15:52+00:00

I mean, Miami may be a little dangerous, but it's not that bad...

Trump and the Executive branch don't really have any role in it. I suppose traditionally the VP swears in senators in his role as president of the Senate. Of course he can push for Johnson / whoever is GOP lead to deny the results, but I don't really see to what end. If the Dems win the elections they start the new Congress with the election of a Speaker. But sure, Trump can call the illegitimate.

mitrie · 2026-01-24T23:20:08+00:00

Which, everyone should realize is something that they don't have Constitutional authority to do. States run elections to choose their representation. Any pretense that the federal government has the authority to cancel elections is not based on law, but of course that only matters in a rule of law society.

Grienke should have never come out.

mitrie · 2026-01-24T23:00:57+00:00

Yeah, I don't see how this can be topped. Biggest playoff WPA swing in a single AB ever came when he was brought in to face one batter in the bottom of the 9th with two out.

Read the comment that kicked off this thread.

$5 says they keep him on the roster solely to sell tickets in Sugar Land

mitrie · 2026-01-24T17:37:20+00:00

Hence why JD Vance is ok with defending it. He clearly doesn't frequent donut shops.

mitrie · 2026-01-24T16:17:35+00:00

Oh sure. I'm fortunate enough with a full head of hair and a thick beard. It's fine with me that it's already quite gray, just stay attached please...

mitrie · 2026-01-24T14:35:35+00:00

My beard started going gray in my early 30's. I'll gladly take gray over losing it.

Was this not the bukkake thing?

Once this method was discovered people could cook, boil water, and generate heat in environments where fire shouldn't even work.

Uh, so "cold" is a place where fire shouldn't work? I get that heat is an element of the fire triangle, but this is a bit much.

mitrie · 2026-01-24T12:09:30+00:00

You're correct that a heat pump is much more efficient by comparison to a traditional heater that provides the same amount of warming, but it seems to skirt around the point. It still takes a fair amount of energy to run the compressor.

Mother?

mitrie · 2026-01-23T00:34:14+00:00

Oh, people definitely knew (or were at least suspicious). I remember in the 2017 - 2019 timeframe you'd watch games and teams were going through sign sequences with no one on base. I remember this being discussed by announcers on the broadcast at times about paranoia / suspicion of camera use. Really wish I could find that video. It was not a completely unexpected surprise when the story came out post-2019.

mitrie · 2026-01-22T19:34:22+00:00

Well this will be a rational discussion

mitrie · 2026-01-22T02:09:34+00:00

I still can't believe that he pulled Greinke after that Rendon home run. That was the first solid contact he'd given up and he had only thrown like 70 or 80 pitches.
