  1. Yeah, that's probably not going to fly any better than all the state law efforts to suppress the vote with the various voter ID provisions. There is a big wildcard out there though. And, guess what the fundamental proof of citizenship for a RealID and US passport is?
  2. I went to the Fox website last night. There were exactly two "stories" on this: video of Trump disclaiming any knowledge and video of Hegseth shitting on Goldberg and not answering the question.
  3. AFAIK, Signal satisfies the encryption level needed for government communications at high levels of secrecy. BUT, there are several reasons it is impossible to believe this was somehow authorized (except maybe by some kangaroo IT): it allows you to add in any goddam schmo like Goldberg; it can be installed and used on an insecure device; it permits deletion, rather than archiving, government communications. Even before FOIA, it was recognized and SOP for the government to keep just about every document, memo, letter and note pertaining to government decisions, as brisket notes. That shit belongs to US, even if we don't get to see it for a couple of decades.
  4. Setting aside insecure devices and a commercially available app, the dipshits added some dude they had no idea who he was and no one bothered to ask. If you're gonna break all the rules for convenience, at least be careful. Imagine if Hildawg had copied, I dunno, Fareed Zakaria on some state secret shit. Clownshow.
  5. Well, the thing that somewhat mystifies me is that he took the job at all. He knew how weird they were from experience. But, I guess he saw the building blocks of a pretty good program, and, of course, the money, and I guess he was having some personal problems in Fort Worth. So, he took it. And then found that they were even weirder than he thought, and apparently that the weirdness extends to places he didn't foresee.
  6. I'm relatively sure that it is convenient for them to do it in a legal way. That doesn't allow you to add just any jackwagon from your contacts to the chat.
  7. I'm willing to go along with the idea that his brain broke somehow. That might go a long way to explain his knack for being in the right place at the right time while also being an ignorant repulsive piece of shit (ie he was less of one 6 plus years ago). Also, that photo of him is the most humanoid I think I have ever seen him.
  8. I haven't followed this whole mess very closely, but I'm always interested in legal shenanigans. This whole thing strikes me as much like many of Trump's suits: some sort of statement, other than legal, that really doesn't belong in the court system. And, I don't really care who started it, they're both being loudmouths about it. To my view, the proper response to a loudmouth is "we'll see you in court, we're not trying this in the press."
  9. Well, then I hate that species of game. PR is one thing, but lawsuits shouldn't be tied in the press.
  10. The Attorney General of The United States of America, folks. Referring to the "deep state" in official communiques.
  11. How about "Republicans have been in charge here for 35 years. Is your life better than it was 35 years ago? Didn't think so. Let's try something else."
  12. Very nice 🤘🤘
  13. Yeah, I remember most of that, figured he was from the mid- later 90s when I was out of touch.
  14. Was my time too, but have almost zero recollection of him.
  15. Sounds kinda Yankee/Irish, really like what you'd hear from the "Irish Channel" in NO.
  16. It's whack-a-mole for sure. Some bloody times, it's on a channel that's on both + and a cable channel. So the gravelly-voiced guy that talks a lot is Ty? Oddball accent, not at all Texan.
  17. Well, I wouldn't expect Elias to take/prosecute a case with as shitty evidence (I.e. none) as Trumpco did. And, arguments regarding a lack of evidence are pretty routine and expected. You wouldn't normally get called on the carpet for switching sides on that one. Long-story short, I'm not sure these rumors have any credibility, or we would have seen something from Elias, or, if too-late-developing, from media. It's not as rampant as the right wing, but there are still a goodly number of leftish conspiracy theory and rumor-mill sources.
  18. Well, here's the thing. Marc Elias and the team democracy lawdogs are very good at this and on top of it. Had there been provable election shenanigans, I fully believe we'd have heard it in the context of a lawsuit by now. However, and here unfortunately is a sanctions defense for Sidney Powell and their ilk, but challenging an election may well require that you file suit before you have the necessary facts in-hand. So, even as good as is Elias, there may not have been time to develop this before it was too late. Or the facts don't exist.
  19. Goddamn. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/preventing-abuses-of-the-legal-system-and-the-federal-court/ This may be the single most succinct and consolidated example of every accusation is a confession to date in all of Trumplandia.
  20. Ok, here's a question. The CEL probably went off because I completed a drive cycle. I don't drive all that much to begin with anymore, and was also kind of avoiding driving because of the CEL/O2 Sensor. Should I go ahead and return the sensor? At first I was thinking the issue would no doubt recur and that the several week delay between the CEL and it going away was because the code was throwing for a while. Therefore, I figured I'd need it sooner than later, regardless. But now I'm realizing it probably just took that long to complete a drive cycle and this may have been cold-related. And I may have a part I'll never use.
  21. Anyone have a rec for non-vintage audio repair in DFW, preferably the D end? I have an NAD receiver that needs the CD player replaced among other things.
  22. And, about 90% of that spending comes from the states themselves, including local government, who also make about 90% of the decisions as to how it's spent.
