To be fair, the average worker in those red states was not going to see any money as a result of the projects. It's easy to say that they voted against their own best interests, but unless they work in construction or some relevant field, this only has indirect implications on them.

I think you made that mistake of ending your sentence too quickly. Maybe you meant to say it would not have an impact on Trump's actions over the next week or two. But in general, quite obviously it would have a huge impact.

That's not to say that democracy would prevail. Nobody knows that. But the impact would have been real. And if you disagree with me, then why are we here in the first place? I think we're here because we all know that the ruling would have a gigantic impact. It would have clarified the fact that Mr. Orange has effected a coup d'etat. That's different from saying that he would be stopped, of course, but if you think there's no possible way to make the situation better than why are you bothering to write here in the first place.

Some of what you said makes sense but the problem is their position will never get stronger. They will never have more marshals than they have right now. And there will be fewer people in the military that support them in the future, because Trump is working hard to replace many military leaders. And they know all of this, which means they are cowards or they believe that Trump should be the dictator that he currently is.

Actually prosecuting a sitting president was always nearly impossible. The immunity thing has to do with what happens after the president is no longer in office, doesn't it? Also, he only has absolute immunity for official acts. So then the question is what constitutes an official act.

And realistically the Supreme Court will eventually reverse itself, assuming that the democracy somewhat survives another decade, which is a good question. Because their ruling about absolute immunity just made no sense. But even if you think it did make sense, there are so many cases that have to go to court to be resolved. If the courts rule against a specific action and the president reads the court order and then does the bad action anyway, does it count as official? I think we can argue that it doesn't, because the courts specifically clarified that it's not allowed. But the president's attorneys would argue the opposite. So then it has to go back to the Supreme Court.

Assuming Trump stays in good health long enough to leave the White House, I think it's unavoidable that the above situation will occur.

Lol no they won't. He'll disappear next week.

Fuck you I won't don't do what you tell me. -RATM

Once again the New York Times butchers their coverage. Of course people in the administration are going to lie and say that it was mistakenly sent, which is why you can't quote them anonymously without pointing out that fact, if you want to have any integrity.

And as the university said, it was a signed letter. Don't sign the letter if you're not going to send it, right? Everybody knows that. If it's a draft, that should be visible in the title. Everyone knows that, right? We learned these things in junior high school.

Well, he's tried to remove Harvard's statuses, but that's going to go to the courts very soon. And I have no idea how that's going to play out... It's not Harvard against Trump, it's every university in America against Trump.

Some of us live in time zones that are different than others as well. We're here with you.

I'm not sure that's how that works, but it's an idea.

A lot of people said what you're saying. There is some percent of the population that was not going to vote for a woman. But I think more importantly is the problem that she had really weak views. Her positions were and are anti-worker in many obvious ways. She's not taking giant steps to rain in corporate corruption, and she never will.

If you want to try to pick someone is white, male, and not at all offensive in any way, I don't really like your chances at winning, but even if you could it wouldn't be someone worth supporting because they wouldn't actually make our lives better.

Warranty. Read the article.

Yes of course that kind of fraud is serious. If it can be shown that Tesla is screwing with odometers in this case, they will immediately face a massive class action lawsuit from current and former owners, and their stock will tank even more.

It affects routine maintenance, warranties, resale value, business taxes (based on the current value), and all sorts of other things. I think there is potential for other interesting legal issues, too. If Tesla is lying to the customers, then the customers are reporting false data to their insurance companies and state regulatory agencies. So there could be legal issues connecting to those groups as well.

One person sure, but then they found lawyers who almost certainly asked for more information. So maybe your explanation is not the most likely.

The plaintiff is using that as one piece evidence right now at the start of the case. Of course they can and will gather and present other evidence.

Under-reporting mileage is an issue because you won't get the recommended oil checks at the right times, which will shorten your engine life. And it would be generally concerning to the owner, right? We really do assume the odometer is mostly accurate when we're going on trips.

So I think people would be reporting it if it were happening, but they aren't, so it's probably not. Of course this is speculation.

No, it isn't. Tesla's past behavior shows that they would definitely try to do this, because they would make a lot of money. And if the odometers were "randomly" poor quality, why would we only see reports of mileage being mistakenly high? Where are the mistaken low reports? Haven't seen any of those.

This is one case, right? If the judge finds against Tesla, everyone who had repairs occur within 10% or 20% of the warranty expiration date could be part of a class action suit, and probably that would be easy for them to win.

Right, but Tesla has had time to push new code to their cars. So we could get a negative result now and still have past shadiness.
