Not interested in debating. Just saying that if someone believes a judge made an unprecedented and egregious ruling, seeking impeachment is one avenue the constitution supports. Getting a higher court to overturn it is another.
trump tactic:  ignore the order and go on the attack calling all judges corrupt and declaring any action trump admin takes as lawful simply because he won an election and therefore any/every judicial ruling against him is unlawful. 

I don't know what to say man.  we are getting deep into this constitutional crisis.  how you can shrug it off is mind blowing to me.

I'm not shrugging it off. I'm just not interested in debating it online.

Except you know, it's kind of hard to have an election when you're being invaded.

you don't get it Pi.   Trump and Elon are the world's only source of truth.   Also "corruption" is anyone not without fealty to them.

It's pretty funny how dumb people are with this. Like everyone talking past each other.

Yeah the butch and suni haven't been stranded for months since the rescue plan already started, but it wasn't the only way to rescue them. Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson were kicked off their flight instead of using a dedicated dragon.

Iowa Lawmakers Pass Bill to Eliminate Transgender Civil Rights Protections

Quote"The purpose of this bill, the purpose of every anti-trans bill, is to further erase us from public life and to stigmatize our existence," said State Representative Aime Wichtendahl, a Democrat who is transgender.

But Republicans said they were concerned that maintaining civil rights protections for gender identity would make other state laws — like those restricting gender-transition treatments for minors and sports participation by transgender women — vulnerable to legal challenges.

"All of these common-sense policies are at risk so long as gender identity remains in the Iowa civil rights code," State Representative Steven Holt, a Republican supporter of the bill, said on the House floor.
that should be taken as a confession that they know they are being discriminatory.

lol maybe read up on something a bit more before you get angry.

It's a few free terminals to help the old system.



I wouldn't be surprised if starlink ends up being central to air traffic control, pretty much every plane is getting it, but there's no taking over of a Verizon contract.

he literally attacked verzion in the tweet you embedded.  maybe read the material you post a bit before dismissing everything.  oh and it seems you missed an important part of the story:


QuoteMusk appeared to confirm the Post report with his statement on X, which was retweeting an earlier post by someone else that said, "The FAA is on the verge of canceling Verizon's bloated $2.4 billion contract and handing it to Starlink — a move that would bring faster, safer, and more reliable air traffic control services."
