This was in the context of Charlie Kirk being assassinated by a left wing nut and echoing a number of tweets saying the same thing about Kirk just before he was assassinated.. The latter part might be confirmation bias - maybe people tweeted that every day Trump's was in the context of Bernie being screwed by the Democrat party out of the nomination for the second time.

The left wing CATO institute says what? Both parties spin up think tanks to give them the answers they want.

Oh no. 20 years later a woman has put on a little weight. How unusual. She has three kids.

Luckily, I've managed to miss everything but the lead actor saying it's not about America.

Where's the poll. I think the cat has it but maybe I'm out of touch.

Trump has a clear mandate and there are lots of people complaining about things he campaigned on and the people decided on. If he's working to remove those who are working against the people, then I agree. Generally, I think of all government as corrupt, so if there's less of it, there's less chance for corruption.

Do we want presidents to have more power? I think a bunch of the people he "fired" were appointed by him. He didn't remove the IGs who seem to be doing their job well by embarrassing the people they are overseeing. I'd like to see more of that, departments actually held to account. I'm not really interested in Trump putting yes men in place, if that's his intent.

Have you seen a description of the loophole? All I see is a bunch of people saying it "may be illegal" based on what they don't detail enough to escape the realm of fantasy.

The NYT reported properly on the form this took in the case of one of them. Politico seems to be reporting without sufficient detail. I think we can assume that if he took the approach of letter to congress and 30 days administrative leave for one of them, he'd have used the same form for the others. I can't locate the source document though.

Trump hasn't fired any of these people yet. He's sent his notice of intent to congress and he's put them on administrative leave for 30 days. That appears to satisfy the law.
That's why the article you linked used the word "may" when describing it as illegal.
There's a push, at the moment, in the democrat aligned press, to create a narrative that Trump is acting illegally in many aspects. This appears purely political and maybe it's a tactic that will work.

If Reagan and Obama could do it without a problem, then Trump probably can as well. It seems like when Obama did it the Republicans floated some legislation to change things but, typically, didn't follow through. These people are part of the executive branch.

Both Reagan and Obama did similar and there was flapping over the Obama ones from the Republicans. Maybe it's against the law, maybe not. The opinion you linked suggests it is. I guess we might find out in time.

Nothing pops up. I find old information often better quality than newer information when something has become a political talking point. Also the CFR is a good source of left wing establishment opinion.

That's a great one. German makes everything sound sinister. Have you heard the Hitler speeches translated by AI? He sounds mostly reasonable. My contention is WW2 would have never happened if the Germans spoke English - like normal people.

Looking forward to the news reports of Elon Musk doing a nazi salute.

Yes, corporate clouds are not trustworthy. I think of how many people lost their data when megaupload was taken offline. Personally, I use nextcloud to backup some of my data locally, just because automation is better than having to remember.

Here's hoping you have backups for everything important on that drive. Of course the seeking noise could just be because the drive is getting full and having to put data all over the place.

I'm not sure that's the case since Brexit. I think the UK was about 9% of european GDP. It was the case that Europe was catching up with US GDP.
I haven't got a backing to that argument, just based on figures I barely remember and assumptions.
