American. Texan. Cowboy. Rancher. Farmer. Stockman. Democrat. Vegetarian. Atheist. Husband. Father. Brother. Friend. Self sufficient, responsible, a combination of Cincinnatus, Sir Thomas Moore and an aspiring redneck. Wickedly pragmatic.

Since John Roberts wrongfully indicated that the unitary executive is immune to prosecution, axiomatically, it means that they are ineligible for any damages or compensation while they are a unitary executive. You can't cut a pie in different slices and then choose the biggest slice.

The cognitive dissonance demonstrated by focusing on a gold adorned 'ballroom' while people are dying, starving, and diseases are not being cured shows how disconnected from average Americans they are.

As ken already replied, so many choices. I use OpenOffice, and in general FOSS and monitor for security patches at least daily to ensure updates. My main operating systems are secure Unix, and other hypersecure unix distributions in a virtual environment that is sandboxed, isolated, segmented.

PS: Linux never existed without unix as the ancestral dna for architecture, command line switch inspiration, etc. Yes, it's original source, but was inspired by unix, specifically bsd.

I'm heard with that Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage that medication coverage is a problem. Mexico, and Portugal have much better healthcare.

Newsom is deploying the National Guard into California, not to help Trump, but to help the Americans.

Newsom: "The Republican Gov Shutdown is about to delay food benefits for MILLIONS of California families. I am deploying the National Guard on a humanitarian mission to support CA's food banks"

Vote in person, don't let any bullshit about vote-by-mail cause your ballot to be lost, or not counted.

Trump’s already silencing dissent — arresting protesters, weaponizing the DOJ, and now he’s rigging maps to steal Congress.

Prop 50 is the only legal firewall left. #YesOnProp50

Yes, John Roberts can turn away from the dark side and ignore stare decisis (as he did for abortion) and indicate that he was wrong, that the unitary executive theory is bullshit and he was wrong and revoke that ruling from SCOTUS. This rests solely upon his flawed perception of law.

I anticipate the letters of 'trump' will be deeply incised in the building exterior to resist any attempt to remove, expunge, or obliterate.

I hope that a future congress, senate, judiciary and executive branch legally condemn the building, and destroy it, selling pieces of the rubble to patriots to commemorate return to the rule of law and No Kings mantra while funding an architecturally appropriate East Wing rebuilt.

Whipsawing judicial interpretation destabilizes society.
To ignore and repudiate stare decisis in secret, in darkness, or the shadow docket is cancerous to the rule of law.

Next election, democrats need to show up, vote and liberals and independents need to decide which is the best interest of the USA and not divide the vote.

I am from a poor family that filed bankruptcy, lost their home because of poverty due to alcoholism of the father and multiple sclerosis of the mother. I had a paper route from 13, my own apartment at 16 and became a striver, not lazy and not from my parents ethics. hunger is a great motivator.

That is the big surprise that you will experience at some point in the future. It was $2,070 per month, and I cancelled MY insurance (medical/dental) and it dropped to $941 for my wife only.

Maruchan Ramen, 12 count package for $3.97
$23 will buy five 12 count packages so 60 packages total. Or, four packages and a small jar of peanut butter.
Struggle meals = beans, rice, corn/tortillas.

#Enshittification Companies have exactly as much cyber security and information security as their senior leadership is willing to authorize. This is why we have so many data breaches and outages. Ask me how I know.....

Congress needs to get paid for a single day, at the END of the single day - that's my position. Since the day isn't over yet, zero paycheck, zero benefits for speaker, congress, etc.
