he gave them to people that the fbi said shouldn't have them. scotus said he could do anything officially he wants. so why would he bother with a screening process? he's going to give them to whoever he wants to anyway.

let's hope so.

somebody used my email address to order stuff from temu. the only reason I know about this is because paypal sent me a notice saying they were tracking my order.

fortunately for me, my paypal information (other than my email) wasn't breached. after I notified paypal they told me they would monitor my account for suspicious activity and they hadn't noticed any. and as it turns out neither was my email. I've got 2fa turned on and never got a suspicious notification.

if it's that easy to use any email to order stuff these companies are showing they have no security and need to go.

I don't think that you need any more proof that all of these pop up third party efforts are simply republicans funding some of the most ostentatious left wingers out there in order to ratfuck democratic presidential efforts. none of these people can win 270 electoral votes because they aren't on enough ballots to get there. FACT.

anyone who tells you that they can still win is a political idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about and should be ignored or someone with a vested interest in making sure that democrats get fewer votes than they should letting the only other viable party option win. left wingers included.

if there were a real serious third party looking at real electoral victories they should start organizing at the local level with a real long term strategy of growth and do it for all years, not just the ones divisible by 4. by not doing anything except in a presidential election year they are only reinforcing and perpetuating the "corrupt duopoly" they hate so much.

i had to login for some functions at work. i believe the minimums were 8 characters, 1 caapitol, 1 number. and we all hated it, because the passwords had to be changed every 90 days, and you couldn't reuse passwords. eventually you are going to run out of things you can reasonably use that you could remember and then would be forced to use some sort of password manager. but OOPSIE you couldn't install any software on the office computer so you would have to resort to writing them down somewhere. it was a mess.

fortunately corporate decided to just change the entire system adopting most of these rules, min 15 characters, no special character, no hints, no forced changing passwords unless you think you have been compromised or just want to change it. we do have to use 2fa to access some things if you aren't sitting at the office computer but other than that people are much happier about passwords now.

I think it was more like a literal handful of arizona gop state legislators realized how bad of a look not repealing this law would be for the state republicans up and down the ballot this year and took away a cudgel the state democratic party was going to hammer every republican on the ballot with.

is it really that much of a surprise that the most conservative and conservative christian states really love imposing the harshest old testament level punishments on as many people as possible?

forgiveness and rehabilitation? that sounds like something christ would do. fuck that, string him up on the old maple tree in the park so we can make an example out of him.

notice the same states proudly claiming to be pro life lead the nation in infant mortality, post birth mortality, and death sentences. it only shows that "pro life" only emphasizes the developing life, not any of it fully developed.

so you are equating the government of a secular nation to a religion, and that criticizing the actions of that government is the same as being against the existence of that religion.

see I can't really get upset about this because people with pro jewish only israel agendas have thrown that word around so it means nothing. it's about as effective as calling a democrat a socialist and communist.

this is a state court decision. unless there is a federal issue to base an appeal on, scotus can't save him.

conservatives by their actions want women either pregnant or at home taking care of children, whether they are theirs or someone else's, or both. they especially want them silent and totally reliant on their men since hod forbid they get paid for their work.

liberals want to provide equal rights and equal opportunity.

from my perspective, if you aren't white, male, wealthy and christian, I don't know know why you are a republican since the party doesn't care about you.

I can't get over the fact that women actually vote for these men. if no women vote for these creeps, they all lose in a landslide.

I seriously want to know the thought process that says "this politician thinks I'm sentient livestock, I'll vote for him".

elon should be ecstatic that there is no viable scaled alternative to his site because I am sure pissing off probably one of if not the most powerful woman on the planet and her legions of fans is not good for business.

and because there's no alternative he's not incentivised to do anything about it so the problem will persist.
