Oh no, Bill Clinton has definitely exposed his “D” to some consequences in his time …

Only if you have the magic ® after your name, because there’s no “R” in “Consequences”!

Maybe not. Remember that Noem lacks a key leadership feature as far as MAGA is concerned: a penis. She might just be the sacrificial lamb that Republicans use to say “SeE? wErE lIsTeNiNg” and try to calm down the sheep ahead of midterms. Then tell her “Thanks for your service, but can you go into the kitchen and get me a beer, honeybuns?”

But then, we need to be concerned about who gets appointed in her place. I hear Dan Bongino is looking for a job…

The “checks and balances” depend on putting ambitious people in different parts of the government, and giving them competing roles. Then, naturally, excesses get curbed because no one part of the government would want to cede too much of its power to the other.

It did not forsee a future where the leaders of the other co-equal branches of government would subjugate themselves to the President’s ego.

He may be a fascist murderer, but anytime someone tells me they are an “amateur botanist” I just assume they grow their own weed.

And if so, the irony is that it wouldn’t have been too long ago that the jackbooted thugs would have been coming for him instead.

Grab 'em by the Parliament

Lol it’s the GAS act.

Until the House impeaches and they convict, their words mean nothing. The Supreme Court was quite clear that the President is above the law, and impeachment is the only remedy. And if anything is impeachable, this is.

It is very much a children’s museum, so there will be a lot of kids there. They have actual museum displays also with a lot of gaming history and old toys.

If you are a group of adults you might be able to do all the interesting stuff in a few hours. But if there are any kids at all in your group you should spend the whole day. As fun as playing the old video games was, I got a bigger kick out of watching my kids play them

This is, at least, trying to solve an actual problem. It remains to be seen whether the solution is more cost effective (and durable) as bifocals. As a human of a certain age myself, I would welcome being able to see without having to tilt my head awkwardly.

But something tells me this tech is not self-contained, and requires an always-on connection to some cloud resource which is guzzling electricity and water. No thanks! Bifocals are cheaper.

Except that the Fed spokesperson said the expensive features were removed from the plan in 2021. Which, coincidentally, is when the Biden administration moved in. If these expensive features were never in the plan, they would have said so. This implies that they were in the plan at some point, during the first Trump admjnistration, and I wonder if they encouraged it as a trap. It sounds like the type of thing they would do.

FYI, if you are taking a pilgrimage there from the Northeast you should stop in Rochester, NY along the way, the children’s museum there has a permanent Pinball exhibit

They also have a smaller video game exhibit, with a functioning TRON machine…

Some Athiest should sue to get all religious texts banned in that district, using this ruling as direct precedent.

The Fed says those elements were removed from initial 2021 plans submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission.

Now I’m interested in knowing a bit more about what the plans were before 2021. You know, when Trump was in charge the first time. Since so much of this complaint concerns discrepancies between what was originally planned, what got approval, and what Congress was told, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the Trump administration was planting a way to trap the Fed all along.

Trump didn’t like Powell, even though Trump appointed him. It makes sense that after years of Powell ignoring him, Trump would want to manufacture a way to fire him. And while Powell’s term as Fed chair ends in a few months, he is still a Fed governor and that term lasts longer. Conventionally, when a Fed chair reaches the end of his term he also resigns from the board entirely, but there is nothing conventional about all this.

He sounds really angry. He should be careful, if he gets too upset he may end up getting a heart attack or a stroke due to stress. That would be a shame…

For a C64 emulator, sure, but we can do better now.

Yes, this would be awesome, but for the love of all that is holy can it please not be BASIC?

I don’t think Ordinals really help here, they just turn Bitcoin into 2.1 quadrillion individual NFTs. But, my knowledge may be dated.

I sold all of my Apple stock because they wanted to make a phone and I thought that would end poorly, so I should take my profits while I could.
