I would prioritize a VPN ahead of an ISP. Free Open/Public APs are not uncommon in my area.

SCOTUS told Trump he needs an actual war in central or south America to invoke the Alien Enemies act. He needs that to justify internment camps and to allow the military to support ICE.

Venezuela is as good a target as any.

Judges are bound by the Separation of Powers. A judge who refuses to apply a legislated law against a particular defendant would (effectively) be exercising powers of the legislature. The judge cannot do this, nor can they advise a jury that this can be done, or otherwise enable the jury to do this.

However, a juror is not bound by the separation of powers. They are not an agent of the government. They are laypersons. Members of “We The People”, who are the same authority that gives us the Constitution.

It is not illegal for a juror to determine that the legislature failed to consider a particular defendant’s specific circumstances when they established a law, and exercise their constitutional authority in finding that defendant not guilty of having violated that law.

In establishing universal healthcare and universal basic income, we will do more to solve violence problems than any gun-centric approach ever could.

Need a “securities” tax, payable in shares of the security. An annual assessment of 1% of all shares owned, transferred directly to an IRS liquidation department. The liquidated shares will be sold off to the general public over time, such that no more than 1% of total traded volume of the security are liquidated shares.

Individual investors can exempt up to $10 million in value from the tax. Artificial persons (corporations, trusts, any “owner” that isn’t human) are non-exempt.

Basically, stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments become more valuable assets to the working class, but carry more liabilities for the problem class.

Aircraft turned away from you while climbing away, making it appear stationary. Kick on some afterburners, and it’ll take off like a bat out of hell in front of a 200’ flame.

I dunno, huck an old, unabridged dictionary at him hard enough, and he’d probably go down.

Government is also the entity that will be prosecuting/persecuting you when they don’t like what you have to say.

Damn, that’s crazy. Now, about all the child rape…

So are most people.

We should tax securities. Stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. Tax them, annually, in shares of the security. Let IRS liquidators auction them off over time.

Exempt any natural person holding less than $10 million worth of securities. No exemptions for artificial “persons”.

If AI can do it, it’s more than likely a bullshit job that doesn’t need to be done.

I’m unqualified to claim that I don’t think he has a better understanding of politics than Bernie Sanders?

Based on your previous claim of ignorance and your acknowledged reliance on stereotypes, that is correct: you have indicated you are not qualified to make a meaningful claim regarding Stewart’s policy competency.

Well, personally I don’t think Stewart’s understanding of politics and policy consequences is as good or better than those named politicians

You indicated here that you were unqualified to make such a claim. You said you didn’t even know the guy. You claimed ignorance. (You also said that your opinion was based solely on the “track record” of previous celebrities. This was a “hasty generalization” fallacy, also known as “stereotyping”.)

Since your “ignorance” comment, though, it seems you have developed a definite position on Stewart’s policy competency. What have you learned in the past two days that justifies this new opinion?

Reviews are one of the things that online storefront platforms consider in their algorithms. More reviews means their algorithm pushes my listings in front of a few more faces, and I get to make a little more money.

I don’t ask for reviews myself. The people who do are trying to game their platform’s algorithms.

I’m pro-abortion with few limited exceptions.

If you’re under 30 in today’s society, statistically, you are not economically prepared to adequately provide for a child. Choosing to have a child before 30 is tantamount to neglect, both of that child and of any future children you may decide to have.

All children deserve to be planned and prepared for. Finding yourself unexpectedly pregnant, the only reasonable decision is abortion.

Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man

Yes. And?

Is the amount of political pressure you can apply, what the job entails?

Yes.

I had the perception that a president had to do more than just apply pressure

Not really, no.

I thought there was something more to the job, that would require a better understanding of politics and the consequences of policy,

Understanding is important, but understanding the consequences of policy is meaningless if you can’t actually enact policy. Enacting it requires the ability to apply political pressure.

a clear and consistent viewpoint,

Your viewpoint is meaningless if you are powerless to enact it, which requires the ability to apply political pressure.

the ability to pick an effective cabinet, that kind of thing.

Sure. Picking a cabinet requires the advice and consent of the Senate, which means your political pressure comes into play.

Regardless, Stewart’s understanding of politics and policy consequences is as good or better than AOC, Bernie, Mamdani, et al, and his viewpoint is certainly clear and consistent. Your criticism doesn’t seem relevant here.
