War on orgasms. Catchy political slogan.

So if a lab rat adds, deletes or edits a person’s DNA it is no longer a ‘product of nature’?

I did this over a year ago, requesting that they delete my shit.

I got a nice email back saying that they would do so, but would retain necessary material to comply with local laws and law enforcement obligations.

So, my best bet is they didn’t delete anything. I only hope is that they don’t put it on the open market.

Unless you’re Israel.

Even it true (and I’m sure that you’re right), are you seriously telling me that Roberts’ ragtag blob of clerks and security guards will overcome Trump’s FBI and Federal security apparatus?

Or is your point just a technical correction?

I don’t think that deputising a few people is going to disarm Donnie. Especially after their ruling that any “official acts” he makes are legal and legitimate.

He’ll fold like a beach chair. Rather than be humiliated by having their rulings ignored, they’ll just agree with the Republicans on everything.

Judges are political appointees so they deliver a political ruling. Everyone is acting shocked. They’ve been doing this shit for decades. The only difference is that they’ve turned it up a couple of notches.

Didn’t Justice Samuel Alito fly an upside-down flag outside their home in 2021? He blamed his wife, but it was a clear MAGA bat signal, if there ever was one.

You don’t have to have political parties pick your preferred brand of justice. Shocking as that might sound, most other western democracies don’t do it.

The supreme court doesn’t have a police force to enforce their rulings. JD Vance worked that out before the election. It relies upon the Federal government, as an institution, to follow it’s will. Then came MAGA and the LOLs will ensure.

No, you took a rhetorical statement literally.

I was conceding your point.

Not arguing that it wasn’t. Perhaps we shouldn’t have bought shit we couldn’t use?

There are 8 million lines of code in the F35 integrated computer system.

So, how the hell would anyone know one way or the other? Only Israel is permitted extensive independent testing and access to open custom design. All other countries must test systems on the US continent and have US oversight during testing.

During the 1960s, the Australian Army bought the Swedish 84mm Carl Gustaf rocket launchers. It was believed perfect for bunker busting. However, Sweden refused to sell us the necessary munitions because we wanted them for the Vietnam War.

If you don’t own the supply chain, you don’t own the weapon system.

Don’t fret… I have absolutely no expectations that Americans can pull out of this power dive. I just hope that most of the damage will be self inflicted.

I’m not sure what to make of that in context. Do you mean that we should just suck it up?

And another thing. Its America’s job to police this mess, they installed him either directly or indirectly. The rest of the world didn’t ask or vote for this dangerous toddler.

Given that there are no ideal moves in any direction, I feel that standing up to the bully is the only option on the table. They failed to do that in 1939.

That conspiracy that Trump was recruited by the Soviets as an agent in the 1980s is sounding less and less of a conspiracy every day.

Didn’t one of the space shuttles almost holed by a fleck of paint?

Taking something away and then restoring it seems a rather low bar for a Noble Peace Prize?

We really don’t need such a leader, and in practice don’t have one at all. Usually it is a collision of mutual interests, at best.
