She does politics. Go out there and demand his fucking resignation, declare of state of emergency and use those powers to remove him; make them stop you. Call for protests, call for strikes. Use your office and the reach that it grants you. The reason they have so much more power is because they understand that politics is now almost entirely theater and they are playing to the crowd while the democrats try to appeal to some imagined referee.
If the governor is completely powerless in the face of Trump then there’s no reason to even look into this because the law doesn’t matter. If the only reason you wont do it is because you’re concerned about retaliation from Trump then that will happen regardless of legal justification. So either you accept the consequences of action and take it, or let Trump continue to plow ahead full steam. There is no world in which the person looking for a legal basis to avoid Trump’s wrath will ever take action on anything that might provoke him, so this entire exercise is already political theater.
Where im going is that it doesn’t matter whether they have a legal basis to dismiss Adams or not. Trump will claim what they’re doing is illegal either way and act accordingly. Who is going to stop him?
If it’s all fucking theater anyway then make it a scene. Get arrested. Making them devote even a small amount of resources and attention on you is infinitely more valuable than just letting them get away with it again or resigning in worthless protest. Being a political prisoner for defying fascism is a hell of a lot more admirable than sending the national guard into the subway to harass commuters over some imagined crisis.
At some point, public officials have a responsibility to put their duty to public before their own safety and comfort. I get that its hard to oppose Trump, which is why the people most empowered to do so should be doing every single thing they can to stand in his way.
Do you honestly think having some legal justification would change anything about how Trump would respond?
meanwhile the republicans merely act and let the democrats whine about the illegality of their actions while continuing to plow ahead without any consequences.
My computer can’t run it very well but there’s a pretty decent VR mod out there.
I think making him look insane serves their purposes better, and letting him live only presents an opportunity for him to speak and maybe say something people could rally behind. That seems more threatening than making yet another martyr that’ll just get thrown on the pile with all the others.
handwriting analysis is pseudoforensic bullshit.
Agreed but they are the only manager the spooked elites could find to speak to.
they lost track of him at a bus station so I guess they;re using that as a flimsy pretext to pass the investigation off from the famously incompetent NYPD.
if this dude gets found he won’t make it to trial.
i wonder what job the hardest working person they ever met does? gotta be something like alaskan crab fisher or deep sea welder. definitely not some bullshit email job.
leeches also have a useful medical purpose, which is a pretty major distinction.
so nothing has changed. whew, was worried for a sec
As funny as it is to picture in your head I don’t think it’s appropriate to wear a costume and do a funny bit when you may be deciding if someone gets to keep their children or lose their house. The other person involved sounds like an uptight liar, but I i think maybe all of these people kinda suck.
That definitely is the line we hear from CEOs when they raise prices, cut labor costs, and over monetize. Do you have any proof that production costs for games have gone up more than any other industry has? They pretty famously don’t pay game developers very well compared to other programming positions so I don’t know where this inordinate cost inflation would be coming from.
I feel like “capitalists aren’t left wing” is a lesson people keep having to relearn.
An Obama-shaped shadow looming in their garden would do the same. Training these people that these actions have no consequences is far more dangerous than listening to them whine about the government, which they were going to do anyway.
People will still fall for it by treating it like a demonstration of what Elon wants to make, and just an early prototype. The abilities these “robots” displayed are on par with technology that has been available for over 20 years. They don’t realize the parts missing, filled in by human intervention, are the most difficult parts to create and literally cannot be done without a major, generational breakthrough in AI.
I don’t think they let the VP travel in the same plane at the same time so probably not as earth saving as you’d expect. Definitely very funny though.
