Trump is legit about to have those powers, and the only way to get that to not happen is for Biden to do something first. He will lose the public's vote if he doesn't (and he won't, so he'll send us straight into the Trump Kingdom). The time to play softball with these scumbags was long ago, and he's still using the kid gloves.
The GOP won't use kid gloves next year.
The debate isn't even the issue. It's the fact that we just got a king and he's saying that we, the people who voted him in, are the only ones that can stop a dictatorship. We're not - he literally has all of the power to save democracy and isn't doing jack but campaign on the fall of the US
There's another post two posts down that may have the info you're looking for
Well, that's up to the DNC. They could put almost any other prominent dem and they'd probably beat Trump. The DNC also has the ability to change the candidate after the election but before the electoral ballots are cast, at least as far as I understand their rules.
Trust, I understand your point. The primaries are over, and that's where the different candidate should have been chosen. But unfortunately, the whole not knowing any viable alternatives line of thinking is what got the DNC into this mess in the first place.
In another post I challenged them to give one specific thing Biden can/should do to fix this. They couldn’t even come up with one item.
Nice to run into you again, still posting this tired line huh? And you're lying, because not only did I provide specifics, so did multiple other people (there's more than just these, I've seen a ton). It seems that you might be caught in some sort of personal echo chamber.
Is there a reason you stop responding to people once they provide specifics?
Vote in your local elections, and support (or directly work to pass) election reform laws, particularly related to ditching the electoral college.
Not necessarily saying it's the alternative, but it's a start and local elections have larger personal impact most of the time.
Tesla is no longer the only successful EV producer, so their practical monopoly is going away. Their business model doesn't work well with competition, and to make matters worse Musk alienated most of the people that were going to buy an EV in the first place. Maybe if Tesla had canned Musk when he leveraged his stock for Twitter they'd still be doing okay and able to handle the increased competition, but instead of focusing on that, they wanted to give him $58 billion.
Tesla deserves to fail at this point.
So, what happens when he officially declares mar-a-lago a threat to national security and takes it out? Because before this ruling, he could've been imprisoned at the very least. But somehow it's still the same now, even after this ruling? If that's the case, then why did the Supreme Court even rule?
Yep, should be free unless you want more firewall features!
Maybe nginx does, but cloudflared does not, as far as I know (since it's an outbound tunnel). I haven't ever had to open any ports for cloudflared. However, it obviously requires you to use cloudflare.
I'm not sure that it would fix all of your issues, but you could put some stuff behind a reverse proxy and use something like duckdns to setup dynamic dns.
Has the ruling not fully sunk in for you yet? He could legally find a way to do anything now. He could make it legal and override the ucmj. The hired guns (SEALs or mercs), in this hypothetical, would not say no. Especially not from the commander in chief with new dictator-level powers.
Why should I? I'm not the President of the United States who was just granted dictator-level powers.
Name one thing he couldn't do.
Personally (and since you're persistent), I think he should declare Mar-a-lago and Trump a threat to national security. Then, he should personally use marine one to liberate the residence.
Is that specific enough for you?
It's not our job to solve it, he's the one that was voted in to figure it out. He's had four years, now has legal power to do just about anything, and came out with this response?
Common WA W
First off, he's the one in office, not me. He's the one we voted to in to fix this and he hasn't done that. He already campaigned on the fact that we had to prevent a dictatorship in the last election. He's had four years to figure out what to do. That's the issue at hand here.
Secondly, he can now legally do anything. So use your creative juices, it's pretty obvious that he can do something, especially now. Not only was Trump given keys to a dictatorship, Biden was given those same exact keys. It's time to play hardball.
The only decent keypads I've found are z-wave and made by Ring, unfortunately. There's an HA blueprint for them at the bottom.
How often do I actually need my heat pump system tuned up?
I had a heat pump installed about a year ago. It came with one free service and the installing company has been calling me almost every week to come out and do the complimentary tune up. I know that I obviously should take a free tune up, but it made me wonder. How often do I actually need this done? What are they actually "tuning up"?

Tesla facing federal probe days after fatal Autopilot crash in Monroe, WA
Jeffrey Nissen, 28, of Stanwood was on his way home from work on Highway 522 when the Tesla Model S struck his blue 2003 Yamaha R6, Nissen’s fiancee Janae Hutchinson said Thursday.
> Federal auto regulators announced Friday they are opening an investigation into the safety of Tesla’s Autopilot feature, less than a week after a Tesla driver believed to be using it allegedly struck and killed a motorcyclist in Monroe.
> Jeffrey Nissen, 28, of Stanwood was on his way home from work on Highway 522 when the Tesla Model S struck his blue 2003 Yamaha R6, Nissen’s fiancée Janae Hutchinson said Thursday.
> Washington State Patrol spokesperson Chris Loftis said the agency is still investigating whether the Tesla driver was using Autopilot — a combination of cruise control and Autosteer intended to maintain the car’s set speed while keeping a safe distance from other vehicles and in its driving lane. The crash was among a rising number of collisions in Washington involving cars equipped with the technology, mostly Teslas.
> Washington saw 17 such crashes last year compared to 12 in 2022, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. Of the 35 crashes in Washington involving Autopilot-equipped cars reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration between Sept. 1, 2021 and March 15, 2024, all but three were Teslas, according to the data.
US challenges 'bogus' patents on Ozempic and other drugs in effort to spur competition
The Federal Trade Commission is challenging patents on 20 brand name drugs, including the blockbuster weight-loss injection Ozempic.
> Federal regulators are challenging patents on 20 brand name drugs, including the blockbuster weight-loss injection Ozempic, in the latest action by the Biden administration targeting industry practices that drive up pharmaceutical prices.
> The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday sent warning letters to 10 drugmakers, taking issue with patents on popular drugs for weight loss, diabetes, asthma and other reparatory conditions. The letters allege that certain patents filed by Novo Nordisk, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca and seven other companies are inaccurate or misleading.
> Brand-name drugmakers use patents to protect their medicines and stave off cheaper, generic medicines. Most blockbuster drugs are protected by dozens of patents covering various ingredients, manufacturing processes and intellectual property. Generic drugmakers can only launch their own cheaper versions if the patents have expired or are successfully challenged in court.
> “By filing bogus patent listings, pharma companies block competition and inflate the cost of prescription drugs, forcing Americans to pay sky-high prices for medicines they rely on,” said FTC Chair Lina Khan, in a statement.
Russia arrests more journalists in intensifying crackdown on dissent
> Russia has arrested two Russian journalists on “extremism” charges in recent days, the latest moves in a continuing crackdown targeting independent reporters and media outlets. A third Russian journalist, with Forbes Russia, was charged with publishing what authorities called “fake news.”
> The increasing use of anti-extremism laws to prosecute reporters — one piece of a larger campaign to stifle domestic dissent during Russia’s war in Ukraine — is likely to have a further chilling effect on the few independent journalists still operating in Russia, many of them freelancers or employees of small outlets with few legal protections.
> The Associated Press on Saturday reported that video journalist Sergey Karelin, who has worked with the AP, Deutsche Welle and other international outlets had been arrested Friday in the Murmansk region in northern Russia and charged with extremism. He was placed in custody pending trial.

> Protests are roiling college campuses across the U.S. as upcoming graduation ceremonies are threatened by disruptive demonstrators, with students and others sparring over Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and its mounting death toll.
> Many campuses were largely quiet over the weekend as demonstrators stayed by tents erected as protest headquarters, although a few colleges saw forced removals and arrests. Many students are demanding their universities cut financial ties with Israel over the large-scale operation in Gaza it says was launched to stamp out the militant Palestinian group Hamas.
> Protesters on both sides of the rancourous debate shouted and shoved each other during dueling demonstrations Sunday at the University of California, Los Angeles. The university stepped up security after “some physical altercations broke out among demonstrators,” Mary Osako, vice chancellor for UCLA Strategic Communications, said in a statement. There were no reports of arrests or injuries.
> About 275 people were arrested on Saturday at various campuses including Indiana University at Bloomington, Arizona State University and Washington University in St. Louis. The number of arrests nationwide approached 900 since New York police removed a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at Columbia University and arrested more than 100 demonstrators on April 18.

> Despite plans to bring forward new models originally planned for next year the firm is cutting its workforce.
> Tesla said it would lose 3,332 jobs in California and 2,688 positions in Texas, starting mid-June.
> The cuts in Texas represent 12% of Tesla's total workforce of almost 23,000 in the area where its gigafactory and headquarters are located.
Amnesty: World seeing near breakdown of international law amid wars in Gaza and Ukraine
Amnesty International says the world is seeing a near breakdown of international law amid flagrant rule-breaking in Gaza and Ukraine, multiplying armed conflicts, the rise of authoritarianism and huge rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar.
> The world is seeing a near breakdown of international law amid flagrant rule-breaking in Gaza and Ukraine, multiplying armed conflicts, the rise of authoritarianism and huge rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar, Amnesty International warned Wednesday as it published its annual report.
> The human rights organization said the most powerful governments, including the United States, Russia and China, have led a global disregard for international rules and values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with civilians in conflicts paying the highest price.
> Agnes Callamard, Amnesty’s secretary general, said the level of violation of international order witnessed in the past year was “unprecedented.”
> “Israel’s flagrant disregard for international law is compounded by the failures of its allies to stop the indescribable civilian bloodshed meted out in Gaza,” she said. “Many of those allies were the very architects of that post-World War Two system of law.”
U.S. health officials are warning of counterfeit Botox injections after more than 20 people got sick.
> U.S. health officials issued a warning Tuesday about counterfeit Botox injections that have sickened 22 people.
> Half of the individuals have ended up in the hospital, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency issued an alert to doctors on Tuesday.
> The cases started in early November and have been reported in 11 states. The CDC said the shots were administered by unlicensed or untrained individuals or in settings like homes or spas. Most of the people said they got injections of botulinum toxin for cosmetic reasons.
> Six people were treated for suspected botulism, health officials said. When it gets into the bloodstream, botulinum toxin can cause botulism, a deadly disease that starts with double or blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing.

The Justice Department is poised to sue Apple, accusing the company of violating antitrust laws by blocking rivals from accessing hardware and software features of its iPhone.
The Justice Department is poised to sue Apple as soon as Thursday, accusing the world’s second most valuable tech company of violating antitrust laws by blocking rivals from accessing hardware and software features of its iPhone.
The suit, which is expected to be filed in federal court, according to people familiar with the matter, escalates the Biden administration’s antitrust fights against most of the biggest U.S. technology giants. The Justice Department is already suing Alphabet’s Google for monopolization, while the Federal Trade Commission is pursuing antitrust cases against Meta Platforms and Amazon.com.
