Musk thinks Trump will reward his fealty with a cabinet post, where he can then maximize his grift using the government as his cudgel.

The delay is intended by Republicans, in order to cause a crisis that goes to SCOTUS... who seems to be owned and operated by the GOP. I'd say lets compromise... they can hand count and if not done by the cutoff then their votes simply are not admitted. Sucks to the non Republicans in the juristictions but hey, why let these dumbshits screw up the whole election?

I call them forced-birth, which sums up their position well. They care nothing for the woman having the child and care nothing for the child after it's born. It's all about forcing that birth by whatever means... then walking away.

I'm not convinced most somewhat tech savvy people are put off by the install of linux. As you describe it's dead easy in most cases. I think most of their push back is getting their specific programs or peripherals to run. In their mind, Windows "just works" when they want to play a new game, use a specific business software that is required by their employer, or plug in a crafting peripheral like a cricut. That said, linux is an awesome alternative for regular folks that mostly use web based stuff in their daily lives.

I'm not convinced democrats have been completely against fracking. I think it's location based as fracking does or can have extreme negative consequences on the surrounding environment, so doing it around a major city aquifer probably isn't the greatest idea. Fracking out in the middle of nowhere might be more positively embraced.

Basically if Mr Trump wins then the case just sorta "goes away". If he loses then the book probably gets thrown at him. I think the judge did it because he doesn't want the guaranteed retaliation if Trump wins.
