I'm sorry you seem to believe I am open to debating this. Your strategy has failed. Your guys were the ones in charge, not the left. Your worldview is not supported by evidence. You have lost your chance, and neoliberalism handed the keys over to fascism and that includes you.
Screeching may make you feel better, but I don't care. You cannot convince me your failure is actually mine, though I suspect you've convinced yourself because neoliberals are on average the dumbest people around.

Newly minted (alleged/likely) war criminal Pete Hegseth: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2025/12/01/former-jags-say-hegseth-others-may-have-committed-war-crimes/
You probably didn't recognize him because this image is AI and in real life he is a drunken slob.

The issue with Data Science is that companies suck at managing it (same with AI) and most tech people don’t care about the business side of things.
Yes well your mentality makes a lot of sense in the context of business book induced brain damage.

Yeah no shade to the literal high schooler, good for them for getting involved in scientific research (I will give a pass re the subject matter because the author is so young), but like, lmao at this getting picked up as a news story.
Frankly I cannot wait for this hype cycle to die. Time to move on these. These tools have not and will not deliver on the insane promises of the moronic CEOs who have invested so much money into their data centers they need it to pay off whether we as consumers or laborers want it or not.
You know what helps people with ADHD? Access to healthcare and reasonable accomodations at school and work. Basic things, but neither one is going to let Elon buy another election so we're never getting those.

Firstly, good riddance.
Re the deal with Moulton, I'm not suggesting that I'd ask for him to be expelled from the house itself, but the party. I.E. to lose access to the benefits of being in the party. That sort of thing is a consensus building effort.
I'm not asking for Rikleen to get elected and singlehandedly clean house. I am asking if he's willing to support an effort to bring these two clowns in line with basic human decency by threatening their campaign funding, though.

This is so disengenous it's not even possible for me to believe you're naive. This is clearly just liberal brainworms.
Mamdani has outlined specific policies he could implement as mayor, such as actually enforcing the things the city has already been mandated to do that Eric Adams refuses to do. That's not even new policy!
What a ghoul you are, to fire shots from the side of the party that does literally nothing, doesn't even attempt to, at progressives who never get to be in charge because your lot uses insane piles of money to punch left even if it delivers races to Republicans. You are doing a literal Republican tactic; make sure nothing happens then happily proclaim "see, the system is broken, we better just give up trying to make anything better for anyone".
Go back to your cave, you troll.

So tell me again how I'm the bad person
Ok, you're a bad person.
You care about the imaginary horse race and are willing to abandon trans people.
In fact, let me say it once more for effect.
You. Are. A. Bad. Person.
redisburning
This would be an ok position if it were about top marginal income tax rates, but this is abandoning some of the most vulnerable people in society. These are human rights. You're fucking right there's a purity test about them.
You are a bad person.

Hmm, pretty obvious bot behavior rip me.
Such a waste of time.

It appears everyone in this conversation lives in America so that's a factually incorrect statement given world's biggest and most divorced loser Elon Musk's involvement in the federal government.

damn if we go to war against China we're going to lose soooooooooooooo badly lmao

You've now said that twice and it hasn't gotten anymore accurate as a characterization of what you said.
I'm not sure whether you simply don't understand your own argument or the more likely case like a lot of conspiratorial thinking it's really "obvious" to you even though it's actually just insane from a normal people perspective. Frankly I don't care which.
This "reality" that is so "basic" to you does not exist. Real life is not The West Wing. Time to grow up.
redisburning
No.
I am saying, quite literally, that I am advocating that Joe Biden should have violated the law.
How do you not get that?
You asked me what I would do and I told you. I would park myself and secret service agents in the IT department and directly order the people there to delete DeJoy's accounts and disable his badge. "Legal authority" did Obama have legal authority to carry out those drone strikes? Did Bush have legal authority to carry out a mass campaign of "enhanced interogation"?
redisburning
and you called me a moron and didn't read it
I read it when it was released, actually.
But yes, the one thing that is correct here is that I called you a moron. Because I think you're a moron. You got me.
I really don't think you see the point here. It's really basic.
Bush broke the law.
Obama broke the law.
Trump has broken the law to an insane degree.
Biden occasionally broke the law too, clearly not as intentionally as the other three, but he could have, and probably should have, to do things that would have made people's lives better. Maybe if he had, people would have been willing to vote for him and his internal polling wouldn't have said he was going to give up 400 to Trump.
redisburning
The fact that you think the president directly controls USPS shows a deep lack of knowledge about basic US civics.
I don't think that. I don't know if this mispresentation is intentional or just the result of ignorance, but that's a good sign we're done here. You have a very high opinion of yourself for someone with honestly pretty poor reading comprehension.
Anyway, it's no surprise we weren't prepared for Trump because the democrats did a good job convincing people like you that there are no remedies for anything while conservatives just break the law and do whatever they want endlessly. That you cannot understand how the president would be able to effect these specific actions is a lack of critical thinking on your part. And far less than Trump has done just via the DOJ in the last week.
There's a reason I hit you with the a dog can't play basketball and it's because all people like you can do is screech that something is "against the law" when that's not been true since the Bush administration. I'm so tired of smug liberals like yourself who delivered the country to Trump because the answer any time someone wanted to do something, legal or not, like the trillion dollar coin or having Biden find a way to get DeJoy out of there or at least not able to wreck USPS anymore, is to lob people slate articles.
You're convinced I don't understand civic basics because I point out that the agreements that are required for those to do anything have been violated consistently for 20 years? Read a book. I mean it. Go read a book. Any book.
Oh and
Wow, your final point is just suggesting he should have the dude killed. Very cool, very sane...
Violence isn't necessary here. I would just disappear him to a black site. And if SCOTUS said I had to bring him back, well maybe I'd just have lost track of exactly where he is for a few years.
Green card holders are getting detained and tortured at Logan Airport so that's about where we are.
redisburning
You should send that slate article to Trump I bet that would get him to stop too.
Moron.

Explain in detail what he could have done to remove DeJoy legally, and what gives him that power.
You're getting one more because I think it worth demonstrating how limited your thinking is in the hope that maybe you will go read a book or something, which you desperately need to do.
- Deactivate every one of DeJoy's accounts. As in, directly order USPS IT to disable every single account
- Lock DeJoy out of the building. Disable his badge. Order security to bar his entry. Order the secret service to bar his entry to any USPS building.
- Overwhelm Dejoy personally with lawsuits around his conflicts of interest in his personal stock investments
- Don't appoint people who say they want DeJoy to stick around to the board (an actual thing Biden did)
- Go on TV and tell the American people directly that DeJoy is responsible for the degradation of the USPS and that he continues to be invested into competitors of the USPS
- If necessary, use the immunity SCOTUS somehow thinks a sitting president has to simply arrest DeJoy, and move him out of the US
anyway the list goes on and on in terms of escalating levels of triggering a constitutional crisis but again Trump is proving that you can just do it. make the courts tell you no. wear the evil piece of shit down by just overwhelming him with BS. I don't care. every president since I was born has been a war criminal maybe time to actually do something that makes people's lives better with that.
redisburning
My god if I actually make a single person hate the democratic party, the biggest group of fucking losers around, who have lost at every level of government from local to national, I will die having done more than most of them.
Again you can just say things incongruent with reality and then claim than I'm the one making things up, but that doesn't actually do anything about the material reality. You can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to me.
redisburning
He didn't have the legal authority to remove him, and any order he issued to do so would have been immediately nullified by the courts because it's overtly illegal.
First of all, that's hardly the only thing he could of done.
Second of all. lol. lmao even. that's stopped Trump how much exactly? oh right, none. because the thing you're saying would have stopped Biden it turns out is imaginary. Put down your copy of The Atlantic and look at what is happening in front of your face.
redisburning
I sure am keen to believe you over my lying eyes that are observing Trump do whatever the fuck he wants.
Bush to a large extent did it too. Heck, what do you call Obama's extrajudicial killings via drone strike?
Here is an opportunity for you to finally awake from a neoliberal stupor, but I get it hypernormalization has barbs and removing them hurts like a bitch.
redisburning
Trump at this point has proven categorically that the only reason DeJoy got to stick around is because Biden lacked the political will to do what needed to be done.
Look where YOUR mentality got us. Trump is president because liberals couldn't imagine actually doing anything that would meaningfully improve anyone's lives.

Biden had 4 years to remove the post office guy and couldn't do it and Trump has decided he's the king within two months just insane.
