You continue to not cite anything but your own baseless speculation and now you're blatantly misquoting me in bad faith.

  • That might be illegal because it was confidential.
  • That wouldn’t violate any laws, even if it did effect negotiations

Fuck off.

Jayapal said one plan is to propose a raft of executive orders President Biden could issue to "protect existing structures," such as shielding career civil servants and Justice Department officials.

Yes! Good!

Some Democrats are also sensitive to the perception that they are adopting the tactics of Republican state legislators who used their supermajorities to kneecap incoming Democratic governors.

Fucking gauge my eyeballs out. You can't call them fascists and then object to playing dirty against them.

"We're trying to show how the United States is supposed to conduct itself every four years when a new person takes over the reins of government," said Cleaver.

McConnell denied Obama a Supreme court appointment! The precedent is already set! Your norms are already broken!

If democrats want to win they must purge their own ranks of members like Cleaver and rebuild with more Jayapals or else they will keep ceding grounds to fascists.

Because your explanation didn't demonstrate why that matters. Any candidate's position can jeopardize ongoing negotiations if its contrary to the current admin.

The VP is very much at liberty to sabotage the current admin. There's illegal ways to do it sure. Like if Harris said "Bibi openly admitted on a confidential line that he's doing genocide." That might be illegal because it was confidential. But she could say "I think Bibi is doing genocide. Biden doesn't, but I think he's wrong". That wouldn't violate any laws, even if it did effect negotiations. Remember the VP is an elected position, not a cabinet member. The president can't fire them.

If you're just speculating then its baseless speculation. You might be right, but you'll have to point to an actual law to prove your point.

By that logic any presidential candidate would be banned from disagreeing with the president on active foreign policy issues which is absolutely not true. There's no legal reason why the VP can't disagree with the president.

Are you suggesting that its illegal for the VP to publicly disagree with the President?

I don't know why anyone thought Harris would change course on Israel beyond mere wishful thinking. She made it abundantly clear numerous times that she was going to stay the course.

If you're a politician who doesn't appeal to your base then democracy is not for you. That's just how democracy works.

We're talking about poisoning a single person not a gas cloud. Poisoning a single person vs drone striking a wedding.

Nerve agents compared to drone strikes look humane and civilized.

The legal reasons was because the Linux Foundation is based in the USA and the targeted devs worked for companies explicitly sanctioned by the USA. Linus said he knew and trusted the devs he was forced to delist.

The Linux Foundation needs to relocate to some stable neutral country like Switzerland.

Its a money laundering operation for sure.

 

Everything I read says it's a feature enabled in what ever compositor you choose, if your compositor supports it. Why isn't there a general purpose keybinding program like setxkbmap? Does it just not exist yet or must it be built into the compositor?

I've read [this stackexchange thread] on something related but it all seems to be using XKB which should imply I'm using XWayland?
