Yeah,like if tomorrow everyone found out the CEO of Ford was a pedo, I promise you the supply of used F150's wouldn't suddenly skyrocket.

The actual answer is 2/3rds of congress. If two thirds of congress decided he can't be president because they believe he wasn't born in the US, regardless of the evidence, he'd be disqualified then too. (As an example)

Yes, any state could do this. No state will decide who goes on their ballots until after the primaries though. They can "declare" things all they want, but nothing is actionable until the ballots are finalized (and then the suing starts).

The laws for who goes on the ballot are set by the individual states.

I suppose the Federal Election Committee could deny his federal application, or the Attorney General of the U.S. could sue the FEC to force an injunction against his filing under the 14th? It's not clear.

In any case, regardless of how it got there, it would end up in court and be decided by the Supreme Court, which is ultra conservative right now.

The actual answer is because every judge so far has deemed him trustworthy enough to not try and run from the law while he awaits trial.

Question the wisdom of those judges for yourself, but there are plenty of people in jail that haven't been convicted of anything.

In all seriousness, the day someone comes out with open source replacement firmware for my car, I'm installing it the second my warranty expires.

There was a HUGE scandal in the UK over rotten horse meat getting mixed into basically everything. This was part of the whole Ikea horse meat story from years ago.

This is from season 1 when blind smiley guy was still wearing a gold shirt. He switches to a red shirt in the last season.

I've never heard that one. Bravo, that's as excellent as it is terrible.

It's a poorly written question. Bad authors don't get to write bad books and call them "trick books".

It's a super low bar. The story just has to have two women talk about something other than a man. Troi telling Beverly how hot Yar was would technically pass the test, yes.

Correct conclusion though, more diverse groups of writers is definitely the way to go.

Completely irrelevant to the topic, but my personal head canon is that Janeway admired Worf's S1 Hair and copied it when she was given Voyager to command.

Tally ho, lad.

Cisco has a market cap of a quarter trillion, sadly yes, they're still around.

I like Juniper gear. Even with their current supply problems I'd probably still try to go all juniper if I had to make a decision.

I'm not just a fan, I'm a member! (just not this account)

Power armor looks like ass in New Vegas though. Fallout 4 got that right, imho.

The U.S. government puts out travel advisories for countries, informing its citizens about the relative safety of those places.

For the really bad ones, there are dire warnings about how likely death is.

There are probably many places people shouldn't visit on the fediverse, and I think what's missing is a way of warning people that they might be stumbling into one of those places. If instances could issue "advisories" to let people know that they're about to visit a hive of shit posters and putlerbots, and flagging accounts as belonging to such hives, it would go a long way toward solving the problem.

I say this because defederation is tantamount to a travel ban, and that's a big step.

As an ex-reddit, I couldn't agree more. Fediverse is betterverse.

Yeah, that already happens. If it was compulsory, at least then people would have to think about it.
