14th Amendment Trial - Removing Trump from CO Ballot

Small states are the disproportionate winners because they get two senators. In both the Senate and in the Electoral College, small states get to punch above their weight. With the added bonus that fewer rural voters get to dictate to larger population of urban dwellers. I get that, but I do not th...

14th Amendment Trial - Removing Trump from CO Ballot

bob wrote: Sat Feb 10, 2024 1:09 pm The Electoral College is baked in because the small states have no incentive to vote for an amendment to repeal it.
I think at this point it isn't small states that want it, but instead large states with diffuse rural populations since it helps dominate the larger urban population.

Military behaving badly

I'm not sure if its the case here but I still wonder if what was considered "bullying" would be different if the captain was male. Yeah, that was my thought. The bar for women in cases like this seems to be MUCH lower since they are 'not behaving like women', but men doing the same are 'b...

14th Amendment Trial - Removing Trump from CO Ballot

I haven't mathed that out by looking at states' voting histories so it might be a big mistake. It won't happen anyway, but if we're stuck with the electoral college, then we can fantasize about anything. If I recall correctly, when the math was done it gave the democrats a big boost, so all the sta...

Oh great. I'm taking a Delta flight out of ATL today. On a 757. I’m sure it’ll be the most heavily inspected aircraft in the fleet. They’re not going to want a repeat of that! Nah. A rousing speech about having a culture of safety and transparency is much cheaper than detailed inspections.

Even if they are, they seem to hinge on the same logic as the Biden impeachment stuff, that his 'open borders' is treason that invalidates federal authority.

I imagine if the dems did vote for him, that would be the end of his GoP career since it would feed into the already strengthening narrative that he is a RINO or a sellout or some explanation for why he is actually trying to do his job instead of burn it down.

Wait.. so their account was hacked to announce something they did a day later anyway?

Though colour me surprised at how many people are still dumping money into cyrpto. I guess getting a slice of all that money laundering is just too lucrative.

No, but it does hint at how the company views its testing process. Reducing the cost and time of testing has been a big part of Boeing's strategy.
