Ah, I did! I do, however, understand that the president does have sole authority to launch a nuclear strike. Sorry for ambiguity.

You're right, I'm all for that share of blame. But world was still kept by technicality, and I'm going to give it credit.

No, you're completely right; I still have a bone to pick with Biden for waiting this long and doing almost no favors for his VP's image over the period of his term. But, he still fulfilled an old promise by technicality, and I&#x2

Alright, let's see if 3 months is enough time to bolster a new candidate. I hope, for our sake, you're right.

"Tech < VC < Politics" is a very common career journey for higher-ups for a reason: Politics affects VC intimately, and VC affects tech intimately.

I am, admittedly, very glad that Biden stuck to his word in 2020 that he will be a single-term incumbent president for the last 4 years... I just wish the DNC kept their word on bolstering a more compelling candidate within that timeframe a

Yup - my mom went into the ER for stroke symptoms last night and was put under MRI. The MRI imaging could NOT be sent to the off-site radiologist and they had to come in -- turned out the MRI outputs weren't working at all. We were dis

Kind of reminds me of the quote from the Steve Jobs movie: "The most efficient animal on the planet is a condor. The most inefficient animals on the planet are humans. But a human with a bicycle becomes the most efficient animal. And t

I often hear about the simplicity form factors of the internet in a bygone era, before my time, in the mid to late 90's. Now, from all the stories I've heard and the visuals I've seen, someone that's a third of my age no

And you can type this with a straight face, unwilling to acknowledge that we’re devolving to our previous, more primitive roots at a more desperate hour than usual? I’m not sure how to tell you this, but going back to what we used to do i

Your wishful thinking is wisting away. When tens of millions of people base their real-world behaviors and beliefs from their social media experience, the influence of those feeds seep into our collective reality. Look at the last 10 years

While correct, “The ballot of the bullet” can be deemed violent language, refrain from it. It’s better unspoken. Plus, the shooter shot innocents. This wasn’t just a check and balance on an authority, this was an act of terror on civilians.

The 10th amendment literally extends rights to local and state governments NOT mentioned in the Constitution. The right to firearms WAS mentioned. This comment is nonsense.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this idea over the years, and I truly think that with the stats of having more guns than people in a country like the USA, the average person ought to have more faith in humanity since gun violence

I am not looking forward to these next few months. For 50 years we’ve had symptoms of an eroding democracy, and they’re becoming terminal now.

I've read the source material; and it's why I believe the ruling was wrong, and what congress vested in itself inappropriate powers.

Precisely. One must understand that the more safeguards we have to enact retribution in these cases, the better. You're not supposed to point to one avenue after loss of another - you're supposed to point towards as many as poss

Who cares? Now we have rulings that say it can't be enforced if it can be convinced that the action of avoiding your term limit can be an "official act" in times of unrest, urgency or doubt. One must understand that the more
