I mean, if you think about it, the null hypothesis really should be that the Earth is flat. That is after all what the human eye perceives at first examination. It was proven conclusively to be round millennia ago, but it still required proof. But if you had no other evidence than your eyes, Occam’s Razor would suggest the Earth is flat.

Before he’s set for release, they’ll put him in a cell with someone already serving a life sentence. Another jailhouse killing.

They’ll kill him.

The only way the US military would ever -MAYBE - intervene is if Trump openly and unambiguously violated a direct order from the Supreme Court. If SCOTUS directly prohibited Trump from seizing control of elections, and Trump just ordered the military to intervene, that might be enough to make them refuse orders.

But that’s unlikely to happen. First, SCOTUS will likely just slow walk this until after the election, refusing to rule on it while also not allowing any injunctions. Three months after the election they rule against it.

Or, even if SCOTUS does strike it down, Trump can rely on ambiguity. The court strikes this one down? Three weeks before the election, Trump issues a new executive order. This does much the same thing as the one the court struck down, but it’s based on a completely different legal authority. The military then no longer has a clear unambiguous ruling from the court on how to act.

The only way the military might refuse to follow orders is if Trump openly and clearly violates a direct SCOTUS ruling. And Trump can simply engineer things so that such a clear unambiguous case never happens. It’s one thing for a group of soldiers to cite a direct court ruling in their refusal to follow orders. It’s another for some 19 year olds to decide the constitutionality of a presidential action by themselves and refuse to intervene.

It could have been any number of people. He had dirt on half the politicians and business leaders in the country. Lots of people wanted him dead.

Should make it an individual cause of action. Let individual renters sue their landlords if they can prove they own too much housing. Set statutory damages as the property itself. Landlords who own too much housing will have their properties confiscated by their renters.

But blue no matter who buddy. Don’t want David Duke? Should have fought harder against him in the primary.

You would vote for David Duke as long as he ran as a Democrat.

You need to cleanse the party of those who are on the side of fascism. Electing people who are lying about opposing fascism is nothing more than pointless masturbation.

Those weren’t Kamala’s constituents. She only wanted genocide supporters voting for her. People of conscience were no more her constituents than random Republicans. She just had a shit coalition. Why are you blaming her failures on uninvolved third parties?

Correct. There’s a lot of propaganda boosting corporate Dems who cannot win elections in today’s climate.

Nah, fuck that shit. You’re doing the equivalent of blaming rape victims for what they were wearing.

Muahahaha!

Can I legally drop someone else’s baby off at the fire station?

You wouldn’t even need to organize some mass campaign to get people to pull money out. This thing will trigger a bank run all on its own. Do you think the banks have enough reserves to immediately cash out the accounts of every non-citizen? Sometimes a bank decides it doesn’t want to do business with someone anymore and will close their account. If that happens to you, they send you a check with your account balance on it. But we’re talking tens of millions of people here, many with substantial amounts in US accounts. This order, if implemented, would cause every bank in the country to collapse. They just don’t maintain the reserves to cash out that many accounts all at once.

It is perfectly moral to burn down an ICE detention center before it’s occupied. It’s like burning down Auschwitz before they moved anyone in.

Again, I don’t care. You vote to throw me and my people on the pyre, you can all go to Hell as far as I’m concerned. We can all burn together.

Private businesses have regulations on their ads all the time. Cities across the country regulate how large shop ads can be.

If he’s the candidate, I’m sitting the election out. Look, my community is under an attempted genocide right now. And as we’ve seen from the Starmer government in the UK, a nominally liberal government can be just as bad for trans rights as any Republican government. When Newsom says “be more culturally normal,” that is a dogwhistle for “take away the human rights of trans people.”

If the party isn’t willing to fight for my civil rights, sorry, I don’t owe you shit. You chose to do nothing after they first came for me, so I will laugh when they come for you.

Seriously. And if Denmark did anything to intercept it, he could use that as casus belli to start a war. Remember the USS Maine? Of To Hell with Spain, Remember the Maine? Seizing or sinking a hospital ship is still an attack against a US Navy vessel, and it would be played in the media as an act of utter barbarity.

On the other hand, the ship could be used as a tool for war even if Denmark lets it dock. How hard do you think it would be for the CIA to arrange some false-flag or instigated terrorist attack against the hospital ship? Imagine if the hospital ship is docked and stormed by a bunch of armed gunmen, dubbed in the media as “radical Danish nationalists.” The US could then use that as justification to start “anti-terrorism activities,” which gradually grow into an outright occupation of the island. No clean formal start to war that would serve as as source of international outrage and could fracture NATO like a gunshot. The US already has large military presence in Greenland, but this would represent a massive expansion of that. And, over time, an ever-increasing US military presence and control over civilian areas. Think less Spanish American War and more of how Russia slowly occupied vast areas of Eastern Ukraine in the years before the breakout of the major overt war.
