  • Is there a way to use WhatsApp on a non-smart phone?

    WhatsApp has a browser app you can use, turning it into something more like an instant messenger akin to Skype while you’re on a computer. Not sure if you need a phone to manage the account or not, but you could keep a cheapo burner phone for situations like that and then just toss it in a drawer and ignore it until you need to make changes again.






  • The Supreme Court can’t take back an amendment the way they can strike down laws (I.e. by ruling it unconstitutional for whatever reason), because it IS constitutional by definition.

    Yeah, but the problem is that the Supreme Court are also the arbiters of the interpretation of the document, and there’s nothing to suggest that they can’t simply come out and say “Oh, it means two consecutive terms”, which is exactly what Putin does in Russia with their term limits - some stooge takes over for a term and then Putin wins in yet another landslide.

    I mean, the 22nd Amendment is very clean, IMO. “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice” is pretty unambiguous, but I really can’t put anything past this corrupt administration. A coup is probably more likely, but if Trump can somehow get the law on his side he won’t need to, so I’m sure he would prefer that route.



  • Yeah, for real. These guys lack imagination if Matt Gaetz for AG is the “worst possible” pick for AG.

    How about AG Barack Obama?

    How about AG George Soros?

    How about AG Vermin Supreme?

    Trump is real fucking stupid, but he’s smart enough to pick someone who isn’t going to be good at the job of prosecuting criminals considering he is one. His one criteria for this position is loyalty and Gaetz seems to have that going for him. Doesn’t matter in the end of he’s ineffective because Trump doesn’t have an interest in actually governing.


  • I like to ask anybody in a tirade against “wokeness” or “DEI” what their definitions of those words are and what they find objectionable about it.

    If they can define it correctly (most can’t), they usually can’t put into words what they don’t like about it other than that the idea of other people being treated equitably and respectfully makes them feel threatened , vulnerable, or marginalized. Which is absurd, but expecting these people to think beyond themselves is asking too much.
