Dippy,

I don’t think I’ve ever gone on the App Store hoping it would have good recommendations for new things to look at. Do people find good apps that way? 99.9% of the time opening an App Store I smash the search button so nothing loads and search for the app I want.

‘Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower!’: Trump begs fans to pay his $464m bond (www.independent.co.uk)

Former president blasts New York Attorney General Letitia James as an ‘insane radical’ in a desperate plea for cash – claiming Democrats are trying to ‘intimidate’ him into abandoning his campaign for the White House...

Dippy,

I am impressed it’s that high. ~60$ per donor. Will be funny when none of it gets to trump and whoever set this up spends it all.

Dippy,

Usually when I try to think of it all I can remember is space force. Still a stupid name, and I can’t believe they couldn’t come up with something better.

Not sure if that’s achieved though, but was prolly a good thing to have a dedicated group to it then funneling through the Air Force

Dippy,

From wiki

The first discussion of a U.S. Space Force occurred under President Dwight Eisenhower’s administration in 1958 and it was nearly established in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative. The 2001 Space Commission argued for the creation of a Space Corps around 2007–2011, but due to the September 11 attacks and war on terror any plans were put on hold. In 2017, Representatives Jim Cooper and Mike Rogers’ proposal for a Space Corps passed the House but failed in the Senate. In 2019, the House and Senate resolved their differences to pass the United States Space Force Act. It was signed into law by President Donald Trump, establishing the U.S. Space Force as the first new independent military service since the Army Air Forces were reorganized as the U.S. Air Force in 1947.[9]

If you want to credit it to Eisenhower sure, but still technically it was established under trump so that’s the best I have for remembering what he did in office.

Dippy,

Agreed. Add to it Steve Carell’s show (although wasn’t great) after definitely didn’t help its credibility.

Dippy,

Agreeeeed. Didn’t understand the backlash for him to go interview Putin, who cares, anyone can if the Kremlin agrees (turns out they turned a lot away). Getting this out of the interview was so disappointing though.

At the very least ask some form of question. Tucker was emasculated by Putin in this interview. We gained nothing from it but memes about 3000bc.

Tucker had a chance to prove a lot of people wrong about him, but instead was shown to cower in the presence of Putin.

Dippy,

It’s out there already for anyone who wants to see it. If you haven’t heard his views on the war you’ve been living under a rock. Almost all media outlets shared his 2021? Essay on Ukraine. Were you outraged at that too?

cnn reporting on his essay

I’d say this was actually a great outcome of an interview as most people heard his ramblings, laughed at it, and turned it off. Further making Putin and Russia look bad. That’s a great outcome.

Dippy,

Eh. Something clearly needs to be done, and the concerns aren’t being addressed (and haven’t been for awhile). Congress and the senate haven’t done anything aside from attempt to impeach hunter Biden (from who knows what) or show off his dick.

Doubtful it’s any kind of civil war, but Texas (and other states) is being hit hard by the number of immigrants, and if the federal government can’t (or won’t?) do anything to curb it, makes sense that they will do something on their own.

Dippy,

Yup! Thank you. It’s not as big as it’s being made out to be (obviously people trying to get political points), but it’s still an issue that does need to be addressed, and it is disproportionately effecting some more than others. No one is going to start at civil war over something like this.

Dippy,

Same. Tons of hard working people that do a lot behind the scenes. But South Park probably got it right with ‘they took errr jerbs!’ Jobs they wouldn’t do themselves anyway.

Dippy,

I don’t think any party would do it. To go further, why would any of them? When the votes become public knowledge from congress to impeach, what’s to stop the president ordering anyone who said yes from assassinating them before the senate goes for conviction?

Either the president scares the senate away (in case they don’t convict and the president will know who said yes) or he goes to jail/is executed no matter how many they had killed.

Even kill anyone you know will say yes before they vote to impeach. IMMUNITY!

Dippy,

Or tired of all the trump shit being flooded their way like the rest of the US.

I know they are a majority conservative and want their candidate, but even if elected it’s not going to stop cases about him having to go to them and loading them up with more and more work. I’d be annoyed.

Dippy,

Yea that’s the point. At some point could just be lazy and not take it and divert responsibility by agreeing with the lower courts, a lot easier then actually hearing it.

At work I do a lot to avoid having more work come my way. If I can push it off. 9 times out of 10 I’m pushing it somewhere else.

Dippy,

Agreed. I’d also just really like to have a choice of someone who will be alive in 10 years to see the results of the policies they make. Given the two current front runners, that’s very unlikely.

Dippy,

Going with C. Without explicit language to the president, they will need to interpret this to mean the president included, which may be up to anyone’s interpretation.

I feel it should, however it could be argued it doesn’t.

who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof

Dippy, (edited )

It’s all up to interpretation though, you might not see it, or you might have heard it in a way, but it can be argued. Similar to the lower court judge saying so.

Similarly one of the judge points out in the dissenting opinion there is no conviction of insurrection.

So I still think C will win, but A or B is a possibility too.

"In the absence of an insurrection-related conviction, I would hold that a request to disqualify a candidate under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is not a proper cause of action under Colorado’s election code. Therefore, I would dismiss the claim at issue here”

Yea fair enough. Just a different set of eyes is all. Thanks for the response!

The lack of conviction is prolly the biggest hurdle here which makes me wonder who would, or even could, bring those charges (even if the lower court explicitly stated he did). Jack smith has his hands full and while interesting to follow it’s not a direct case of questioning insurrection. Curious as to where it all leads.

End of the day, it starts to ask the question, which prolly ends at the Supreme Court no matter what.

Dippy,

How is creating a proprietary service anti competitive? There are many other methods of messaging and Apple is not stoping anyone from using them.

Kids being bullied in school has nothing to do with being anti competitive.

Dippy,

You can turn off iMessage in settings and disable the phone number from messages. Then use whatever messaging service you want with the phone number.

Still not sure how it’s anti competitive to not allow others to use your own proprietary software when there are alternatives available, and they are not being restricted.

Dippy,

Not seeing how it isn’t criminal charges, and instead a settlement with little more then a sorry we got caught.

“I feel like I have to do it otherwise there will be a target on my back in my own district for the chair,”

What a coward.

Dippy,

Only article I could find is Newsweek but seems to be accurate he was taking pictures with a few others, and nothing of the sort was discussed

Democratic advocacy group, Call to Activism, tweeted that Chappelle claimed a number of lawmakers had asked him for photos during his visit to the Capitol.

But then the comedian reportedly claimed he was “blindsided” by her tweet saying he “understood that there were two genders.”

“It’s a shame she tricked me,” Chappelle is reported to have said. “I had two tickets to Beetlejuice and I was going to give her one!”

Dippy,

Same especially now with high yield accounts at 5%

Dippy,

And welcome to the JAM!

Elon Musk’s X sues watchdog Media Matters for its damning report (www.cnn.com)

Elon Musk’s social media company X filed a lawsuit against Media Matters for America on Monday, saying it manufactured a report to show advertisers’ posts alongside neo-Nazi and white nationalist posts in order to drive advertisers from the platform and destroy X Corp....

Dippy,

‘The result generated by the test would almost never happen in the real world, Musk’s complaint alleged’

Think this kills the case quick. So he is saying it does happen, and doesn’t seem like the media matters report mentions frequency.

The discovery in this case will be interesting, if they even get there. Media matters could end up with even more dirt on twitter.

Dippy, (edited )

This. Same shenanigans with Taylor Swift last year. Still not great, and still could fly commercial, but even those need to be moved to other locations with no passengers/cargo from time to time.

Edit: where is that “thermonuclear lawsuit” we were promised.

Double edit: in fairness he did follow through! www.cnn.com/2023/11/20/tech/…/index.html
