Last week, the court struck down a Louisiana congressional map with a second majority-Black district. The decision requires there to be evidence of intentional racism to prove that a map is discriminatory, making it nearly impossible to successfully challenge racial gerrymandering. 

6-3 decision along partisan lines

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters, 2016 edition.

The [Trump] administration has encouraged the burning of more coal, which emits more carbon dioxide and other pollutants than other fossil fuels, while also blocking tighter pollution controls on coal-burning plants that were supposed to take effect by 2027. It has directed the Pentagon to buy more coal-powered electricity and reopened millions of acres of federal land to mining while working to stymie nonpolluting energy, like wind and solar power.

It also ordered some coal-burning power plants to scrap their plans to close, compelling them to remain open instead.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

God damn it. Well keep us informed of insights.

As for guest appearances, people loved trek and were willing to do it. Just like real scientists in BBT (musk doesn't count).

But The Apprentice!

(Apparently all the real business guys were too busy, that's how the producers picked Trump.)

As president you get way more stress, more travel, less sleep. He wouldn't do well in the president's office.

Books

Obama, Barack (1995). Dreams from My Father. New York: Times Books. ISBN 978-0-8129-2343-8.

(2006). The Audacity of Hope. New York: Crown Publishing Group. ISBN 978-0-307-23769-9.

(2010). Of Thee I Sing. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. ISBN 978-0-375-83527-8.

(2020). A Promised Land. New York: Crown Publishing Group. ISBN 978-1-5247-6316-9.[538]

So 2010 was a children's book. Yup. Whopping 40 pages. Illustrated. And "Obama finished writing the book in 2008, after he was elected but before taking office.[5]"

And his memoir was 2020.

Your own link.

That doesn't even make any sense.

First, this thread is literally about him.

Second, there is a concept known as an example.

In short, it doesn't even matter. Both hold.

Bill Clinton Increased His Wealth by the Most After Presidency, Barack Obama Was Second

The header you omitted which clearly outlines the context was AFTER PRESIDENCY.

 

That is all.

 

It will start with the 600,000 Venezuelans under Temporary Protected Status (revoked Jan 2025).

Then anyone that speaks Spanish.

Then everyone.

(Not necessary to complete each one before going to the next, but this will be the order it hits the news.)

 

The Supreme Court ruled on October 3, 2025, allowing the administration to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants, putting on hold a lower-court ruling that had blocked the TPS termination. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians who received protection under former President Joe Biden.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco had ruled last year that the DHS "acted with unprecedented haste" to terminate Venezuelan migrants' TPS status, finding that DHS made "decisions first and searched for a valid basis for those decisions second."

Appears that Noem ended TPS for Venezuelans last year Jan 2025.

Linux Mint XFCE.

Going into Mouse and Touchpad > Touchpad > Pointer Speed > Acceleration:

BUT changing the acceleration doesn't actually change acceleration, it adjusts speed.

Cinnamon and MATE have different sliders for speed and acceleration and actually worked.

*To clarify, there is only one slider. Yes I am selecting touchpad from the drop down box. The header says "Pointer Speed", the slider says "Acceleration" but adjusts speed. IIRC cinnamon has 2, one for speed and one for accleration, which is what you expect.

 

Then we lose Obamacare, leading to backlash against Trump who is then never reelected?

 

I hated lugging textbooks home, taking a chromebook home would've been much easier.

 

Of course this got me wondering about the etymology:

-stat

noun combining form

1: stabilizing agent or device thermostat

2: instrument for reflecting (something specified) constantly in one direction heliostat

3: agent causing inhibition of growth without destruction bacteriostat

 

Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

For narcissists, the smirk usually reflects contempt, which is a deep-seated disdain or lack of respect towards others. For narcissists contempt is tied to their belief in their own superiority. They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

 

It will start with "lying" on forms, "incorrect" asylum claims, "concern is over" asylum claims, and soon enough people born to illegal immigrants. Slow boiled frog and all that.

 

Much is said about lead and crime rates, I'm wondering about the more mundane things.
