“collapse of trumps efforts to restrain netanyahu”.. right. If netanyahu did this against US pleas, then why is the US shooting down the Iranian reprisal? Seems like they’d take trump more seriously he didn’t just support them regardless.

They’re probably going to hold new elections to replace the republican reps in jail now or they won’t have quorum.

Fair point since rhe overrule would now be precedent. So, a republican objects since this is inappropriate, the parliamentarian deems that the precedent allows the Democratic motion, republicans overrule the parliamentarian, and the strategy is quashed.

Extra steps, sure, but since republicans don't care about norms or hypocrisy, they wouldn't even blink at such a move.

The only way that it works is if enough republicans don't really want to pass the bill. Then, this might give them an out. It wouldn't work otherwise.

That said, no reason not to make them do the extra work.

Sure, they should try, but it’s silly to think that this would actually work. The Senate parliamentarian will rule that it doesn’t meet the requirements (and would be correct) and the republican majority won’t vote to override. Attempt quashed and it wouldn’t even be a news story just being a procedural thing.

I know, it’s unfair and that “they set a precedent” and all of that, but if your strategy requires that republicans not be abject opportunistic hypocrites, then it’s almost certain to fail.

…quickly followed by “Why are there so many refugees trying to get into our countries?”

Between this sort of thing and pursuing policies that accelerate climate change, it’s almost like they’re trying to create misery to exploit.

The backup camera screen on the slate is in the digital instrument cluster. It’s just a small display under the speedo, I think.

They’re not doing research for Harvard, they’re doing science research for the public which was competitively assessed and awarded.

That’s how the US has chosen to fund science research for over 50 years. It was considered a public good and has easily been one of best public investments that we’ve made during the period.

America has been at the pinnacle of science, medicine and education largely through this partnership with Universities. trump and company are pissing that legacy away in an effort to destroy higher education in the US, which they believe to be an impediment to them instituting authoritarian rule.

They’re happy to loot the country and burn it to the ground so long as they can rule over the ashes.

To be fair, the trump crew don't observe any real security anyway, so all of the more competent competent competitors likely already know our secrets.

I mean, assuming that trump doesn't just tweet them out, he'd absolutely sell our secrets for some graft.

Wow, coming up with dumb solutions to self-inflicted problems. Woo.

Maybe just impeach and remove the problem instead?

Do you actually believe that the press would frame it anywhere near this way if Biden had tried to do something so blatantly corrupt?

There’s Openshift Virtualization included, which is based on the upstream kubevirt project. You’re essentially running VMs in containers and managing them (mostly) like the other container workloads in the environment.

Because Tesla stock is essentially a meme stock and always has been. It’s not based on the actual boring making of cars, but rather the strength of musk’s bullshit powered reality distortion field.

There’s always some vaporware next big thing that he pitches, but never actually delivers on which is used to justify their ridiculous valuation.
