7 feels awfully low.

I have a touch base with my boss at least once every other week.

Hey! Your "FACTS" don't TRUMP her FEELINGS!

I think the filibuster is a valuable tool that is important for defeating certain bad legislation

What might be bad for you might be good for someone else.

I agree with getting rid of the procedural filibuster. I suspect the reason it exists in the first place is because Senators are getting old and don't want to actually do it.

So, for good and bad, make them actually stand and deliver. If they feel so strongly that a bill needs to be killed, then let them fucking earn it.

This is just bad spy craft. You don't tell the person who bugged you that you found their bug. You mess with their head by setting up false flags.

Like have maps of China and what look like troop movements.

Or details about tank man.

Even though I agree with you, we need the justice system to either sentence him to jail or completely shit the bed and say he's too special.

Either way, we (the citizens) get the information we need and can react accordingly.

If someone extra judiciously executes him before that happens, then judges will breathe a sigh of relief and we will have kicked the can down the road.

Billionaires should not exist, full stop. They literally cannot spend that amount of money.

She could lower the cost of her music, her tour tickets, merchandise...

I love Taylor Swift too but just because she has progressive views doesn't mean she didn't extract wealth from people and is hoarding it for herself.

I'm willing to eat my hat if she donates 2/3 of her wealth right now and promises to never have more than a few million in total assets.

But she isn't. And that makes her a bad billionaire.

Gates has good PR.

There was a browser game some had developed where you had to spend all your money. It was similar to cookie clicker.

The point of the game was that once you have a billion dollars, you have so much money that you literally could not spend that much money.

I've actually heard it the other way: if your employer knows you have cancer or other disability, they have to try even harder to fire you to ensure that they could survive a lawsuit.

In a normal court, the justices are often held in high regard, whereby whomever appointed them is hardly even a factoid.

The problem is that with Trump, he's known for quid pro quo as well as just not even knowing the person. Odds are good that Bannon slipped her name to Trump and suddenly she's "the most brilliant legal mind the nation has ever known. Just brilliant. Very smart."

Besides being nominated by Trump, I'm not sure if the prosecutors had any standing to have her recused.

The CC requires copyright holders to contact companies that violate the license and give them 30 days to remediate.

I highly doubt:

• people who put the CC-BY-NC license in their comment will troll AI bots to see if their specific comments are being used
• those same people can prove to the company that their comment was used
• the company will actually take them at their word and remove their comments from their training data
• even if all of the above are true, can afford an attorney let alone sustain that attorney through the case
• even if all of the above are true, prevail in a court of law

I think people adding the license is fine. It's your comment. Do whatever. I don't think it's as harmful as sovereign citizens using their own license plate for "traveling".

The tech companies are also forbidden from denying service to any particular government entities.

That includes Palestine, right?

Right?
