  • Senator demands answers after Trump accepted Rolex and gold bar before slashing tariffs on Switzerland

  • US Constitution Article 1 Section 9 Clause 8, "Titles of Nobility and Foreign Emoluments":

    No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

    It's literally unconstitutional. In the past, foreign gifts to presidents were typically turned over to the National Archives to avoid breaking the law. If Congress was a functional governing body they would rake him over the coals for this, among the hundred other laws Trump has casually flaunted.

  • 1.) Any resistance group that wants to use the 2A needs to be very well-organized. A lone wolf here or there will quickly be pounced on by hundreds of ICE goons who have the entire federal government behind them.

    2.) Violent resistance would give Trump a justification for declaring an insurrection and imposing martial law. Say goodbye to the 2026 elections (and beyond) if that happens.

  • Who still uses IRC and why?

    Jump

  • And for those people using IRC: which network(s) do you use? I have fuzzy memories of EFnet and DALnet being big, but I've been away from IRC for a long time.

    Edit: Holy shit, I just logged into a DALnet channel I frequented in the late 90's and a bunch of the same users are still there! It's like a time capsule!

  • Cruz reportedly says Trump yelled and cursed over warning of midterm election ‘bloodbath’

    Jump

  • I hope so, but I'm not optimistic. Starting in 2016 the GOP centered their entire platform around Trump. Candidates completed to be the most dedicated Trump supporters. Republicans who weren't on board either resigned or were largely replaced at the polls with MAGA candidates. They can't abandon him; it would be a total identity crisis. They are going to ride the Trump train to the bitter end.

  • In case anyone forgot, Rittenhouse went to a protest with a loaded rifle looking for a fight, shot two three people, walked away untouched, was acquitted, and got speaking gigs on conservative TV shows. You can do whatever you want as long as you're on the "right" side.

  • Too many times I've been out of the house with the kids and had people say things like, "You're on Mom duty today, eh? Ha ha." It's frustrating that so many people have such low expectations for dads.

  • Years ago I went to a big Dropkick Murphys show that was all ages. It was fantastic seeing parents and grandparents the seats, watching their kids party in the pit. Good times were had by all. The world needs more of this.

  • Zillow Adds Segregation Score

    Jump

  • It's already there, sort of. Zillow's map shows schools with their greatschools.org ratings. The school rating is a rough proxy for this. Highly-ranked schools tend to be whiter and wealthier.

  • US Senate advances war powers resolution to stop Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela

    Jump

  • It would be a (small) step in the right direction if it had any chance of becoming law. It's a non-starter in the House, and Trump certainly wouldn't sign it either.

  • Are there any fun places to go to in the US?

    Jump

  • When? What do you like to do? And what travel options do you have?

    IIRC from past posts you're in NYC. If you have a car, drive north and embrace winter. Go skiing or tubing at a mountain resort. Look for live music and food events in the Berkshires or up in Burlington, VT. Grab some friends and rent a cabin in the woods for a weekend of games and drinking. Find someone who operates sled dog tours and go for a ride.

    In the spring/summer you can go whale watching out of Connecticut or Rhode Island.

    If you have the funds to fly, find a national park that's open and accessible in winter. You'll avoid the crowds and get a very different experience than most people. Or visit the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico for a beach vacation, and make sure you hire someone with a boat to take you around for a day trip (fishing or snorkeling is optional if you're into that).

  • That resolution was kneecapped by the Authorization for Use of Military Force after 9/11. Multiple presidents have treated it as a blank check to execute military actions around the world without congressional approval. Just call the targets "terrorists" (or "narco terrorists" now) and do anything without repercussions.
