I'd rather be baking. Cloudscale datacenter necromancer, TTRPG nerd, and occasional writer. Likes are not necessarily endorsements.
It never got weird enough for me.

In the sense that committing an act of war is in fact separate from a formal declaration of war on the part of the nation, it very much does. The president does not rule by fiat, unless allowed to do so by the shameful inaction of the legislature.

Sure they can. They can do so by not pretending bipartisanship exists, and not voting to enable these actions by approving appointing extremists.
They will not do so because they consider decorum and their work buddies more important than the nation.

You're a well educated person, and at one point an American, so surely you understand that the President does not, in fact, have the power to declare war?

The minority party specifically ran on not letting this happen.
When you say you're going to do a thing, and make no effort to actually do it when it comes time to act, that is a pretty clear failure to show any kind of will to act.
The GOP has no shame or decency, so no sense appealing to it.

Every single one is complicit.
I'm more critical of the Dems over it, but they also ran on not supporting his agenda so have more to live up to there. The GOP can get in the fucking sea, traitors all.

It is quite literally Congress' responsibility to meet high crimes and misdemeanors on the part of the President with impeachment proceedings. They are in fact the only ones with the legal power to do so.
That they have not, with the current President openly ordering war crimes is damning.

Remember last month when they agreed to end the shutdown on the prospect of a mid-December vote on ACA extension?
The one that the GOP in the House laughed and said 'no way' to a day later?

Profit.
No, I can't explain a clear path to *how* they would profit, but neither can any of the AI-obsessed bozos driving our economy off a cliff in support of it.

My taste for B-grade horror movies comes almost entirely from a local store a buddy worked at in high school, where the owner loved schlock so had the largest collection of obscure horror films in town.
So much good weirdness.

Again, that's Congress' matter to prevent. The Senate has to confirm SCOTUS Justices, and a recess appointment can be impeached just the same as a presently sitting Justice.

Same reason we have SCOTUS Justices openly on the payroll of rich conservatives still sitting the bench.
Congress is unwilling to do their duty and impeach.

As such it's Congress' job to impeach and remove them.
I know the chances of that happening are laughably slim, but still, like most of this administration's bullshit, it all falls back to Congress' long-standing policy of ceding power to the executive rather than serving as a check.

I continue to boggle at how apparent it is that all these techbros somehow entirely managed to avoid having any education in the humanities to go with their ill-disguised sociopathy and lack of empathy.

Absolutely. I didn't like it until a friend from Denmark sent me some. Changed my opinion pretty fast.

Even more ridiculous because you know for a fact Sam Altman's kid has never for a moment not had a nanny paid to take care of them since the moment the surrogate gave birth.
