Historically the Logan act has been interpreted to not include the Presiden-Elect and their incoming administration.

If the things mentioned this is the most “normal”.

Because retaliation on behalf of domestic businesses is something Europe freaking invented.

We’ve already paid for it though. That’s why we built Yucca Mountain.

Also nuclear fusion has essentially zero waste.

Is the EU just going to bet that none of its companies ever have to do business outside of the EU?

Nixon was explicitly pardoned to avoid prosecution for his crimes.

Congress didn’t have to stop the impeachment of Nixon. They chose too because Nixon agreed to never run for office again.

If we want that to change we need an Amendment that established an Independent, non-partisan Prosecutor whose job it is to prosecute Presidents and former Presidents.

Impeachment is a political process with the ultimate result being removal from office.

And potentially the removal of that person’s ability to ever run for office again.

Impeachment and removal from office does not mean they would go to jail, it is not a criminal trial.

Yes, that’s the design. Because it’s not an “impartial” process but a political one. And because only 40 or so people have been given that protection, it makes perfect sense.

That’s an 8th grade understanding of the concept where you never learned anything after.

The 8th grade understanding is the correct one. As confirmed by SCOTUS.

Remember the DOJ reports to the President. A process where you’re either suppose to investigate your boss or investigate your Boss’s political allies/opponents would be way to open for abuse.

Trump can be prosecuted for what he did before the Presidency (as is being done in New York) and for what he has and will do after the Presidency (should he run back J6 part deuce). But for crimes committed while President impeachment is counterbalance.

That is the correct interpretation of the law. We could punish the Seal Team and their chain if command for following the order. But punishment of Biden himself would require him to be impeached.

And frankly that’s how it should be.

Obama killed that 16 year old in Yemen. He isn’t liable for that. Bush spied on Millions of Americans without warrants he isn’t liable for that. You can argue they should be; but that’s not how our system is designed.

Because every 8th grade civics course says the same thing. You punish Presidents with impeachment.

Maybe because it’s not as big of a story. J6 has been in the papers every other week since it occured.

Come and join me in Firefox and try out container tabs. Super powerful when you’re trying to keep home and work identities seperate.

Is NOSTR any good? I’ve heard a bit about it but I haven’t gotten my feet wet yet.

The goal should be to use whatever is most effective and efficient for yourself,

And if taught as they should be, that will be the keyboard.

Counting out 5*5 on your fingers works and might be the fastest way you’ve been taught to multiply, but that doesn’t mean we should excuse schools not teaching times tables and how to use a caluclator.

It works well for casual conversation. But if you’re trying to have a technical conversation it will fail on uncommon or custom words or phrases.

They also stopped teaching typing in schools. My younger family members never had an computer class or a typing class.

Undoubtedly Harris is an improvement compared to Biden.

I used M365’s’ Copilot. And I asked it to bullet point summarize the article’s text.

RCP has Harris at a 1.8% favorite in its polling average. At the beginning of this month Trump was winning in these polls (granted partially because of Biden’s degraded mental state). So opinions could legitimately change.

Additionally, Kennedy is still at 4.5%, and generally 3rd parties support degrades the closer to the election it gets. It’s difficult to say where that support will degrade to. If Trump’s support falls to 1% and Trump takes 3% of that support, he’ll be ahead in the polls.

Finally, all the national polls have a margin of error between 2-3%. It’s just as possible that Harris is up by 4.8% as it is that she’s down by 3.8%.

So the chance of Harris losing the popular vote is significant.

Hamas is doing more damage to Israel than has been done in generations, just of a diplomatic sort.

People believe that?

They only bring those policies out when they’re not in power
