Trump says he will issue executive order to get voter-ID requirements before midterms

"The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections," Trump posted to Truth Social.

"This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!" he continued.

In a second post, published minutes after the first, Trump said, "If we can't get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order."

"CONgressional Approval?  I don't need no stinkin' approval!"


Of course he's not gonna let CONgress stop him.  Dictators rule by fiat.  So it's gonna get challenged in court, where at least so far the courts ruled against him trying to screw with election rules, but it hasn't gone to the SCOTUS yet.

Even if they rule against him, that won't stop him from ordering the military to check IDs calling it a National Emergency and threat to National Security.

So bottom line, the chances of free and fair elections in Nov are rapidly dwindling from Slim to NONE.  What happens in the aftermath of that?  Will J6P support a Coup d'Etat or even more messy a popular Revolution?  Is there some other possible political solution or compromise?  Inquiring minds want to know.

If a person is unhinged, why is it assumed that condition makes their eyeballs and ears unreliable.

The assumption is not logical.  A fact known since biblical times.

Fuck that.  Wake me up when one of these reactors produces enough energy to power itself for more than a few seconds and generates enough electricity to power a 60 watt lightbulb.

Fusion startup Helion hits blistering temps as it races toward 2028 deadline

Fusion energy startup Helion announced Friday that it has hit a key milestone in its quest for fusion power. Plasmas inside the company's Polaris prototype reactor have reached 150 million degrees Celsius, three-quarters of the way toward what the company thinks it will need to operate a commercial fusion power plant.


Wake me up when fusion power starts regenerating topsoil.  If it works there will be abundant cheap energy for AI, but not for you.  Jevons paradox will go nuclear as capitalism invents new ways to maintain and widen class differences.

But this is some cool shit I got to admit.  Science makes this dog drool.  But the thing is, I see the bigger picture.  How technology is used.  How it feedbacks on human behavior.  Tech nerds that can see the bigger picture are very rare.  I am a very special dog.

Very good driver too.

Law that built the internet turns 30 – a legal expert explains what would happen if efforts to repeal Section 230 succeed

Section 230 shields online platforms from liability for user-generated content while allowing moderation done in good faith.


Joseph Gordon-Levitt is pushing a bill that would END free speech on the internet, and he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

Or Joseph has a new source of income because there are forces which would like to end all political dissent in America and put us all under an iron heel.  Forces with money.

Because every dude who is worth 35 million wants more.

Why is the US job market staggering despite economic boom?

The slow growth of the US job market is inconsistent with strong economic growth and well short of the hiring boom of just a couple of years ago.


Making America great again means starving some people.  Cull the herd.  Purge America of useless eaters.

Trump blatantly lies and cooks the books claiming America drowns in prosperity.  The truth is that America is in deep trouble, and Trump is the biggest useless eater of them all.  And this deranged non compos mentis fool does not have any idea at all how the world actually works.  If he ever had a clue, he does not now.  I do not think he ever had a clue.  The bombastic ignore clues.  Bombast obscures insight.  Bombast defines Trump.
