I disagree. Optics is how we keep and increase our numbers as we fight against this fraud. We need more pedes on our side, and we also need normies to either join us outright or to be confused enough to stay on the fenceline instead of touting the left's programming.

There weren't very many moves for him to make, unfortunately.

Sign Outright, and look like you're giving up the fight

Veto Outright, and MSM / Congress plays the parade of Trump hating on COVID / unemployed people, removing some hope of normies supporting the Jan 6th+ maneuvers

Or This Move, which delays the poison past Jan 20th, disperses the good parts immediately, and forces Congress to consider Trumps remaining good ideas and take the hit from rejecting them outright.

This move was the best option, and is another reason why pedes cannot jump the gun on 24h rumor mongers who live their entire lives off of clickbait and hype.

It's a 45 day delay on a bill that was doomed to pass (BOTH HOUSES OVERWHELMINGLY VOTED FOR THIS CRAP). It's the most interference that he can pull off aside from taking a huge optics hit for a pointless veto. Of nothing else, it puts enforcement on items he doesn't want from it past election day.

If you don't like it, change your Congressmen. Our government system gives Congress the most power out of all branches.

Line-Item veto is not limited to removals. It can also be used to add contingencies on spending. Trump could have Section 230 as a contingency for this bill to pass using the act if they want it immediately, otherwise it's 45 days.

Reminder: Congress in BOTH houses were FOR this cluster and were ready to pat themselves on the back no matter how Trump reacted. It was a poison-pill bill. Signing would make Trump look like he was giving up, and Vetoing would have damaged his credibility with the normie population. This move is how Trump stays ahead on Constitutional grounds.

Trump gets 45 days of blocking on the enactment of line items that he does not agree with, to either have Congress change it outright or just to delay enforcement. This moves the ball past Jan 20th.

Pressure is also now back on Congress to not look like jackasses and at least give out the remaining $1400/person that they were blocking earlier. Forcing a vote on Section 230 is another item that they have to waddle around, as it means they have to look like they're giving it a college try instead of hiding in the back pockets of these companies.

I'm sure Trump had to weigh the optics of vetoing and then pulling this move instead of just pulling the move as he has done here, and decided to go this way.

That is a fair point, and I'm fine with that as long as doing do doesn't also tempt you or others to start giving Fox clicks / reads / legitimate traffic again in the process. News corps live and thrive off of ANY attention that they can get, no matter how poorly written or click-baitey the articles or the main page are.

Don't forget to support channels that support your views with legitimate traffic as well in the process.

Them having less overall subscriptions and influence in the news/entertainment business is slightly newsworthy, but sounds like you're obsessing over an ex-lover and stalking them instead of outright moving on. This puts you in danger of "making up" with the network if they put on a sob story and send a few articles your way that sound nice to you down the road.

It's time to move on. Let Fox die in irrelevancy, or at least until they are forced to change owners / top management (which will not happen anytime soon as long as Disney has its grips on it).

That, and they have worked for centuries. We know WAY more about the actual lifecycle of classical buildings than we do about modern designs, and throwing numbers into a calculator on what happens to all of the components after 100-300 years doesn't mean jack shit if it fails in 50 years because there wasn't enough safety factored in to it, or in 25 years because some d-bag politician wants a more "modern" version a couple blocks down and is "tired" of the old look.

If the goal is to test the limits of engineering, then yes, it is impressive in that regard. But its cost is also going to be impressive, as is the maintenance needed to keep the build in good shape over time. They also already got hosed by TWO major earthquakes. Their track record's not looking that great.

A good number just need you to pass / stay active members of the Bar. Yes, you could act as a lawyer with this info, but nothing on the surface appears to demand actual work experience to become a judge (although "fair" application systems would bias against a candidate who doesn't have working experience). You can get around the "active" requirements with self study logs or having an exempt status given to you. And once you're a judge anywhere, that fact on its own counts as meeting the criteria for staying active, regardless of the number of cases you've actually worked on.

Also for laughs:

Pick a state, and they have a website. In a large enough state, they'll make as many as they need. And ALLLLLLLLLL that donation money goes up to ActBlue.

Source code is not open source (i.e. cannot be audited except by the company and the government, and we all know how good of a job the government does with that).

Adjudication process literally gives admin tier voting privileges to a shared user account. No checks and balances on this process.

Voting data passes through THE INTERNET before reporting totals.

Machines were extremely vulnerable, having a backlog 1300+ days behind in security updates.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, before we even start talking about the people running things.

Doesn't mean shit.

If you cannot stand up for Truth, and if you cannot stand up for your freedoms, there is no point to having a nation at all.

They want you to be demoralized. They want you to do nothing. They don't want you to show resistance, hoping instead that you keep drawing lines further and further back until you have nothing. It's easier to take over that way.

They don't want you to stand up. They don't want you to talk about how to push back, to have forums and speech that does not conform to their agendas. They don't want you to know how many people agree with you, or how many people would agree if they were shown what we have seen.

Fight back.

Much appreciated. That's pretty messed up. It's long past time for us to start enforcing our own laws and stop rewarding felons for breaking it.

Can you summarize the article for us? I'm having trouble with that link. It might be on a block list or something.

People do. Why do you think there's so much obsession over Views, Likes, Tweets, etc? It's attention. We have an entire filter on here for Top posts. It's also why I don't upvote every page on here. I put value in my upvote. It has to be earned.

Again, if you could show a small donation based on what was upvoted thus far, you'd blow the upvotes to the moon, and it'd also show that you were serious in this commitment. If you had the real potential to donate $27,000 to a cause (even though you could potentially pick better ones), and all it took because people upvoting, then that's not a large ask to make. But as a critic, I'm making a small ask of you to test your promise, to show that you're not just trying to take the top slot by lying in your post. Can you do that much?

They love their bot farms. They control the actual "ranking" of posts and where they sit relative to the conversation this way, but they have found that they still need "manual" ranking controls for accounts like Trumps.

This gives them the ability to frame the conversation however they want and fake consensus. They rank up dissenters and ranking down well-informed comments, either manually or by letting bots go to town and upvote themselves. The parody bot along the lines of "Trump, but Happy" was a glowing example of this; it unnaturally rose to the top for many days and showed up at the top within moments of Trump's actual tweets.

If you can show a small donation based on what was upvoted thus far, you'll convince a lot more people to upvote. Otherwise it just looks like another upvote scheme on here.

I'm trying to push for some major organizational stickies as well (see my recent threads). We need to get organized.

Taking basic control of some major roads with "preliminary" marches and shows of support is strongly encouraged. This reduces the total amount of time wherein DC could try to set up roadblocks or other fuckery.
