"Plans are worthless, but planning is everything."

I agree with you but usually the problem is that poor mgmt wants your estimates chiseled into a stone tablet somewhere.

Today would be a good day for Obama to post a video of himself polishing his Nobel Peace Prize

@joshshapiropa.bsky.social I believe any state owned roads, bridges, or other infrastructure supporting this warehouse are in dire need of repair and should be closed or shutoff until the repairs are complete.

Wise words from beyond the grave: "objectivity is not the same as neutrality. If there is an aggressor and a victim, a liar and an honest person, a corrupt individual and an honourable one, then your task is to describe all that clearly and forcefully" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My response would be "Ask the Pope"

What would happen if The Mad King replied "no" today?

The Acting President would order the DOJ, and then the military to remove him from the WH.

I'd guess that the DOJ leadership would support the Mad King and hope the military would not.

Incredible stuff from @wsj.com

It doesn't. It relies on law enforcement and the courts to enforce the removal and acknowledge the new Acting President, like any law.

At the end of the day, Power resides where The People(with guns) believe it resides.

It's technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.

I kid, and 100% agree with you.

In practice Congress is only the most powerful branch if a party has a united supermajority in both houses and actually wants to govern.

Congress has the power to remove the POTUS and VP from office and then the speaker of the house would become acting president.

Congress also has the power to remove supreme court justices from the bench or pack the courts.

Congress easily has the most power but it's split between 535 people.

I'd argue inflation has been stable in the US for so long that people have a lower tolerance to higher prices than they have in the past.

Yeah I shouldn't have posted that. The precise terminology used is unimportant and seems to annoy everyone.

Their behavior is monstrous is what's important.

Viewing ICE and their actions through the eyes of a child really exposes how monstrous these people really are in a much more powerful way.

Yes they haven't gone full Nazi, yet anyways, but they're intentionally inflicting Nazi like terror to children and their families.

Monsters.

Guilty.

I'm sure The Algorithm and has nothing to do with this.

"Terrible things are happening outside.

At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes....

Families are torn apart...

Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared...

Everyone is scared."

French Response * @FrenchResponse X.com Investigating child sexual abuse material isn't controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn't fl in France. Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 3h This is a political attack

My apologies to France, I was not familiar with your game.

In the short term Russian spending on nuclear weapons would likely redirect resources away from the Ukrainian war.

In the long run it would probably be for the best for someone to whisper that in Trump's ear.

Centrists pretend centrism is a reasonable and sensible ideology.

Centrism is not an ideology. Centrists don't have a set of beliefs or values and should be ignored

1. Trump certainly wants to fully rig elections.
2. He has no actual plausible plan to do so.
3. We should absolutely take the threat very seriously and actively do what's possible to protect elections and democracy.
4. What's actually likely is success or failure at the margins; every bit counts.

I think it would depend on whether or not the person thinks they rightfully deserve billions of dollars.

It'd be interesting to try to compare the psychological effects of becoming ultra wealthy(100M+) via the lottery or an unexpected inheritance vs "earning" 100M+.

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani.

This is what economic justice looks like.

And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

Im just surprised this doesn't pop up after you click no.

You were good about it.

It's not always the case but simple solutions often avoid or minimize the govt's standard "corruption tax", which I believe you'd point out.
