AOC wants to impeach SCOTUS justices following Trump immunity ruling
  • It allows for immunity to any "official acts" by the president while they are in office and does not define what an "unofficial" act would be. So if an action is challenged from the lower courts it'll end up at the supreme court where they will deem it official or unofficial.

    Which brings the onus of dethroning a king president up to the Congress to impeach them. Which has never happened. However, we have impeached a supreme court justice in the past.

  • Undecided voters say they now support Joe Biden after debate
  • The presidency needs to be reframed. It's not some position of ultimate power. Presidents have far less control than the general public thinks, or the media would have you believe.

    To get anything lasting done you need all three branches working together and with this court, and congress....

  • Good foss app to run a simple http server from a directory?
  • could try a flask webapp

    
    from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
    import os
    
    app = Flask(__name__)
    
    # Specify the directory you want to share
    SHARED_DIRECTORY = 'shared_files'
    
    @app.route('/files/<path:filename>', methods=['GET'])
    def get_file(filename):
        """Serve a file from the shared directory."""
        try:
            return send_from_directory(SHARED_DIRECTORY, filename)
        except FileNotFoundError:
            return "File not found", 404
    
    @app.route('/')
    def list_files():
        """List files in the shared directory."""
        files = os.listdir(SHARED_DIRECTORY)
        files_list = '\n'.join(files)
        return f"<h1>Files in {SHARED_DIRECTORY}</h1><pre>{files_list}</pre>"
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)
    
  • The Supreme Court just lit a match and tossed it into dozens of federal agencies
  • Yes, to increase the number of justices we'll need a congressional and executive branch to push the appointments through.

    It won't matter who Alito or Thomas pick as their replacements if there's 5 new left leaning justices on the bench.

    It's sad to see the Supreme Court as such an overt political structure now. It's always been political but this is egregious.

  • Has anyone else noticed a large influx of Trolls lately?

    This isn't about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That's pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I'm also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion.

    I'm not even talking about necessarily in this community directly, however in a lot of other spaces I've noticed a lot of accounts using divisive language and terms like "The ineffectual left" "single issue voters" "ignorant right wing morons". Lots of straw man arguments, lots of willful ignorance.

    I'm not a centrist, I'm very very very far left however I know well enough not to patently dismiss the talking points of others, outside of course calls to genocide. I know what dog whistles sound like, and I'm hearing a lot of them lately.

    Most egregiously I'm seeing very long form post replies that read very much like what is generated from LLMs.

    So I guess my question is, how're we all fairing with what might be the largest Turing test ever?
