He doesn’t even need to do it personally since no one can question his ability to pardon whoever does it. So he could order it or just ask “Won’t someone rid me of these troublesome justices?”

Overthrowing democracy was an offical act. - SCOTUS

How was something he did before he was president an offical act?

Why not Kagan and Jackson?

I like you optimism that it wiuld take that long instead of the more likely scenario of the next Republican president.

The GOP has been working up to this point for four decades, they aren’t going to wait now that they have the powers set up. They also don’t need to fear the Dems abusing the power because the Dems proved they can’t even get rid of the filibuster the GOP undermined to stack the courts.

It will be the next Republican president, not just the angry orange.

The ‘world building’ in Cars, like most fantastical settings for children’s media, is just setting up jokes with no concern for internal consistency or thought about the implications. The audience isn’t supposed to think about it!

That said, this was pretty funny as an example of thinking too much about it is the path to madness.

That’s a good idea, I’ĺl leave myself a note to remember!

The only smartphones I have used are androids and know for sure that after the call goes to voicemail you can click on the call for more options and and block the number. Not sure if it gives the option during the call unless it suspects it is spam. I just double checked on a number that wasn’t in my contacts.

May not be available on every model, but every one I have owned had the block option.

This is me if I don’t write down the list.

“It’s just 3 things!”

“I’m gonna write it down anyway.” - me

Forgets list at home.

Did you lnow that most phones make it easy to block numbers?

Also the time spent getting ready for office appearances and prepping lunches (or the cost of buying lunches away from home).

Fear of being outnumbered by immigrants (“they shall not replace us” bullshit) is a big one.

We could also learn something from that and the other genocides and not force the conflict to escalate in the hope that the future survivors work things out.

Ok tankie.

Yeah I’m just really confused by how you’re at the same time able to oppose colonialism as a concept but also not willing to acknowledge that whatever happened to other people is happening in the exact same way to Palestinians.

You are confused because you keep ignoring my statements that the same thing is happening to Palestinians, apparently because I don’t agree that the solution is wiping a country off a map.

Instead, they should stop being a colonial state which was the solution to all of the other colonial states.

If Serbs and Muslims can coexist in Bosnia

Forcing them to live together would be creating the same conditions that led to the genocide! Do you think they will just skip past the genocide this time?

The current mess is a knot that can only be solved by a single state solution. And if that is the case, and we agree that either side “cleansing” the other is completely unacceptable, then universal equality from the river to the sea, a democratic country, is the only game left.

We disagree on whether a two state solution is possible but do agree that either side committing genocide on the other is unacceptable.

I disagree that a single state solution is possible, even if we named it Peaceland because the same conflict you say prevents the two state solution will still exist and the conflict will continue within the single state. Forcing two opposing cultures into a single state against their will is how we get ethnic cleansing, aka genocide.

Germany should recognize Palestine!

But the fact that they don’t doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be actively opposing antisemitism in Germany. Opposing Israel’s actions is different than “Israel shouldn’t exist” because in the context of Germany and the neo mazid, not existing is literal and includes the people of Israel.

I favor a two state solution myself, as it is my understanding that is the desire of the majority of Palestinians.

I have no idea what you are trying to get at, but I have repeatedly said colonizing is wrong and countries can stop doing wrong things without needing to stop existing so if that isn’t clear enough I don’t know what to tell you.
