More people enter too early than wait too late to enter the POTUS discussion. Unfortunately the decision is driven more by personal ambition of the individual than anything else.

People aren't choosing to wait for the common good very often.

Yes, and bowing out is a choice in every other case as well. I can understand it, being POTUS is taxing and unprofitable unless you are completely corrupt, but it is a choice.

John Quincy Adams remained in Congress for 18 years AFTER he was President.

Also, not one person haa ever voted without "identifying themselves."

Do they think people just shown up and vote anonymously?

Signature cross referenced to voter rolls has always been completely adequate.

But free passports sound good too.

The Democratic Circular Firing Squads really came early this cycle!

My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

No lies detected from @ossoff.senate.gov here 👇🏽

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

DHS notice of inspection

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents Federal prosecutors are investigating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly impeding immigration agents, sources told CBS News, an extraordinary escalation in the Trum...

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

But 720p was never "SD without interfacing " as you asserted because SD is still 480p.

Even today, some broadcasters use 720p and others 1080i for HD.

OK, but names had no meaning except in reference to content and devices sold to exploit that content. In the early days of broadcast HD, some stations supported 720p others 1080i and TVs supported either optionally.
1080p was initially only relevant for disk until streaming rates made it practical.

The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois.

It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

Which is why they don't "just call it" 4K or 8K.

I was always chasing the next big thing until I realized I was paying such a premium for something likely to drop price in a year or two.

Waiting for OLED to drop.

720p was always HD as was 1080i. 1080p is FHD (full HD). UHD is 4K.

None are bullshit terms. They are terms for people who can't wrap their heads around technical specs.

You are thinking of 480p, which was DVD resolution amd worked with standard televisions.

She was right there.

Just thinking that we would be living in a different world if Biden had selected Sally Q. Yates to be the Attorney General.

Nixty Minutes Bari Weiss was installed at CBS to play nice with Trump-- and she delivered

"The swift degradation of CBS's reputation under Weiss’ leadership is just one more proof point that the American media is being commandeered by an aggressive and coordinated conservative movement that is moving as quickly as possible to usurp control and rewrite history in deference to Trump."

U.S. Supreme Court blocks Texas National Guard in Illinois Around 200 Texas National Guard troops were deployed to the Chicago area in early October, despite opposition from local and state governments in Illinois.

Texas National Guard’s deployment in Illinois blocked by U.S. Supreme Court.

Kash lied to congress.

Don't judge every idea based on your most recent perceptions.
Only the Senate has the rules currently requiring approval. Switch that to the House (or some other body to replace Senate) and couple it with more representation and that body would be even more of a roadblock.
Moot point though.
