Maybe we dodged a bullet that Merrick Garland never got placed on the Supreme Court -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 09:59 18
- He was chosen to be the bland, middle of the road, nothing to offend the Republicans who controlled the senate -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 10:23
- You spent 4 years bitching about how craven and politicized the AG spot was… and now you’re pissed that the current guy isn’t rushing to politicize - Will Hunting Oct 21, 10:16 13
  - no no. I bitched about how we had a fascist in the oval office and how he was going attempt a coup. And now that it is - Jovian Oct 21, 10:30
  - Yeah, but so far Garland hasn't shown much interest in dealing with those either. He seems intent on just moving beyond Trump and I think it's a - pmb Oct 21, 10:25 11
    - We don’t know what they’ve got, or even if the states don’t nail Trump in 6 different ways while the feds minimize targeting a political rival - Will Hunting Oct 21, 10:35 1
      - I still don't agree conceptually with the feds letting criminal actions go from a politician when they directly threaten democracy. It simply shows - pmb Oct 21, 10:52
    - its not just a mistake, its the end of US democracy if AG Garland isnt working on prosecuting Trump and his cabal. -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 10:27 8
      - ~It's the end of the US democracy as we know it~ - Strongbad Oct 21, 11:00
      - You honestly need to realize Trump is never going to be held accountable. He's untouchable, and no jury would convict. Full stop. -- nm - MDH Oct 21, 10:32 3
        
        Fine. But let the process happen though. So what, we are to no longer prosecute criminals because we think they will get off? -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 10:35 2
        
        What crimes do you believe Trump could be prosecuted for and sent to jail? - Inigo Oct 21, 10:47 1
        
        There were actual threats of prosecution if they did not if you read the transcripts and a ton of other evidence. The vast majority of cases are made - pmb Oct 21, 10:58

        and if/when he comes back to power in 2024, it will be because Biden and his AG are weak and feckless, and that *will* be the end. -- nm - Jovian Oct 21, 10:33 1

LIR: Bery/Mastadon. Certainly would be interesting. We basically already do it with the Slackers Facebook group. Upside: new shiny. Downside: - oblique Oct 21, 08:58 7
- My concern is mainly that it would supplant the core use of ST - the forum - while adding DMs, which I have always had reservations about. - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:01 6

        An account where? Mastodon is like email. The account belongs to the server, but there are lots of servers. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:35 1
        
        The mastodon.online instance. Just wanted to see what that part was like. -- nm - spamlet Oct 21, 09:36

        Article at Wired -- (link) - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:07
        
        Mastodon is a software project that aims to be better than Twitter. It's open source. Trump is using it to launch a fascist social network. - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:07 13
        
        I decided I had better get a Mastodon account so I could reserve my handle. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:12 9
        
        On which instance? The "truth" instance, or a different one? - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:13 8
        
        Ah, I'm seeing that. So far I've joined mastodon.social and democracy.town. How do I aggregate the two feeds? -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:17 7
        
        That I don't know. I just have one, on PHPC social. Maybe it's like multiple accounts in the Twitter app. - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:20 6
        
        When I click on "federated," it's tons and tons of posts that never stop loading. It might be the "local" feed, but it's really hard to tell. There's definitely a difference betw local and home. -- nm* - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:28 5
        
        The federated timeline is sort of like an aggregated RSS feed from all the connected networks. Like a firehose. - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:46 3
        
        It helped a lot to restrict it to English. :-) -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 10:05
        
        It's difficult to read, though; it keeps jumping. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:49 1
        
        That might be a web interface issue. I tried it in the Amaroq app just now and there wasn't any jumping. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:56
        
        Ugh, I don't think there's a way to do it. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 21, 09:45
        
        Specifically, trump is violating the AGPL software license to launch his bullshit. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 09:07 2
        
        Allegedly ;). IIRC there are lawsuits progressing. -- nm* - VMan Oct 21, 09:09 1
