Just like anything else. The majority of people being law abiding, they’d pass a law restricting sales, parts and repairs, and rely on neighbors and family reporting, similar to covid.

I read the question but I was not party to the phone conversations.

You need to get more cerebral, learn to critically think about these things. The pollster didn’t ask if the elitist wanted to turn his air conditioner off. He can do that any time he wants. They want to turn ours off.

They are elitists, they don’t mean ban their air conditioning, only yours.

You see a connection between critical thinking and wiki?

They didn’t call me, either.

POSTED ON JANUARY 20, 2024 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN LEFTISM, LIBERALS, SOCIALISM ARE OUR ELITES CRAZY? “Pollster Scott Rasmussen conducted two separate surveys, each covering 1,000 “Members of the Elites.” The results are remarkable, not to say shocking. But the starting point is, who was defined as “elite” for purposes of these surveys? Ten thousand people per square mile represents a high-density urban environment. But in that context, $150,000 a year is no princely salary. Nationwide, it takes far more–around $650,000 annually–to be in the top 1% in income. A person who lives in a big city and earns $150,000 is not, in any financial sense, elite. So the key element in Rasmussen’s formula is having a postgraduate degree. Basically, what we are surveying here is people with graduate degrees who live in cities, the large majority of whom don’t make a great deal of money. Many in that group are probably women, although Rasmussen says the survey results were “lightly weighted” by gender, age and race. Rasmussen also defined a subcategory of “Ivy League elites,” consisting of graduates of one of the eight Ivy League schools, plus Northwestern, Duke, Stanford and the University of Chicago. These “elites,” so defined, are living in another world than the rest of us. They are extraordinarily loyal to the regime; 84% of them approve of Joe Biden’s performance as president. I wouldn’t have thought you could get that high an approval rating if you sampled the Democratic National Committee. And 70% of the “elites” trust the government to do the right thing most of the time; that rises to 89% among those who are “the most politically active members of the elite.” These elites even trust journalists: 79% have a favorable opinion of them, as do 84% of the “Ivy League elite.” When it comes to policy, these people are crazy. Forty-seven percent say that America suffers from too much freedom, compared with only 21% who think we have too much government control. Among the Ivy League elite, 55% say America is too free, with only 15% saying we have too much government. So how do the elites want to limit our excessive freedom? A shocking 77% say they favor the “strict rationing of gas, meat and electricity.” That basically means living in a poor, totalitarian state like the USSR. And by 89% to 10%, the Ivy League elites want to see “strict rationing” of these most basic commodities. These “elites” are fascists. Large majorities want to ban gas stoves (69%), gasoline powered cars (72%), non-essential air travel (55%), SUVs (58%) and air conditioning (53%). The Ivy League elites are even worse: the corresponding numbers are 80% for gas stoves, 81% for gasoline powered cars, 70% for non-essential air travel, 66% for SUVs, and 68% want to ban air conditioning. There is no polite way to put it: they are fascists. There is more at the link. The people whom Rasmussen has identified are obviously dangerous to our democracy. If they take over, we are finished. More study needs to be done to figure out who, exactly, they are, so we can root them out and negate their influence. In the meantime, some moderate measures probably need to be taken. Like abolishing the Ivy League.“ https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/are-our-elites-crazy.php

The small case notre dame.

My espn+ says notre dame vs OSU Sunday at 2:00.

Self awareness, sir. You just “did it again.”

More like a pot/kettleish, TDS afflicted, over biased, fantasy driven, fact free opinion.

Makes me wonder if the bomb had any Russian earmarks.

Can the president be impeached after he leaves office?

One of the comments:

Semantics would more appropriately describe the judge’s questioning. Sauer’s answer follows established doctrine. It is OLC policy that a president cannot be indicted while in office. https://www.vox.com/2019/7/24/20708393/robert-mueller-report-trump-olc-justice-department-indictment-charge-sitting-president And removal of the president is guided by the Constitution.

Fantasy.

Nope. He didn’t make that argument, he should be commended for his delicate handling of an irrational question from an irrational judge. She made the preposterous direction that it was a yes or no question. It’s not. More has to be known, such as: why did he give the order? Is the opponent wearing a suicide vest? Pointing a gun? Did they shoot him? Was it a lawful order? Why would the Seals be taking commands from the President and not their chain of command? In the extremely unlikely event that a President committed such an act, Sauer is correct, that impeachment and conviction would have to come first. He didn’t say the president would be immune if he was first convicted in the Senate.

The dimocrat party is the least democratic party of all. Even if a candidate wins delegates, party selected Super Delegates have enough power to sway the election to their preferred candidate. While they screech about the electoral college and one man one vote, they strive to pack the court and add states to improve their chances. When in the minority, they wield the filibuster with a vengeance, and deride it as racist Jim Crow when in the majority. They have no, or at least little, virtue.

This is a misrepresentation of the situation of possibly the stupidest question ever raised by a judge. We are now seeing the implications of this ruse playing out in proposed charges against nearly every ex-president whom is still alive.

I read this article yesterday and have seen the Maddow clip. Of course, it was at the end of a few minutes of clips of her and other media members proclaiming matters that were later revealed to be untrue.

They’re handy at the golf course.

By hand?
