To use a cooking metaphor:
Recipe:
Turn stove to high heat.
Bring to boil.
After 4 years reduce to simmer
Allow to simmer for 3 ½ years.
Increase heat gradually for 6 months.
Return to high heat.
Burn to a crisp.
Creme brulé
It's a fucking coup.

Net Neutrality was always strongly supported across both parties from a voter perspective.
Yet the voters on the republican side continue to vote for people who outright oppose their interests in exchange for those politicians receiving bribes and payments.
This is a real thing, and it's very well documented with regards to net neutrality.
I find it absolutely astounding that the president appoints the judges for the highest courts in the land.
Which fucking morons thought that would be a good idea? That's obviously going to be abused.
A bunch of slavermasters invented this system for exactly this purpose.
And yes, they were disgusting morons.
A bunch of idealistic revolutionaries ove 300 years ago. We just haven't fixed the problems because people now worship said revolutionaries.
I don't know that I'd call them idealistic. They were landed nobles who didn't want to pay the increased taxes levied on them. Which in turn were to pay for the war their government had fought on their behalf to protect them from the native people whose land they had stolen. By exterminating those native people.
They were idealistic in that a lot of them subscribed to the ideals of the enlightenment which as a reminder was not a working class movement. Most of the compromises they made were innate issues of their era, but there is still that massive throughline within a lot of it that assumes that those in power are statesmen not demagogues. The problem is that I doubt they would expect the very checks and balances to be used by the demagogues they feared.
The federalist papers very much show they were aware of that threat.
Their system is a natural result of their "ideals": racism, slavery, classism, privilege, patriarchy, theft, genocide, etc.
We are talking about people who were somewhat contemporary with the utopian movement, who are considered to be the an ideological ancestor to socialism. Some utopians had slavery backed in. Them being flawed doesnt make them not idealists, name a revolutionary movement that didnt pull shit like early American government or whatever schizo shit the French revolution devolved into before Napoleon.
Ignore the illegitimate supreme court.
It's really hard to ignore robed cultists installing fascism.
The day that Chevron was struck down, a bunch of people here on Lemmy told me it was a good idea to leave these things up to the courts from now on.
And now here we are.
Those people are fucking morons.
What the fuck does a judge, especially a supreme court judge who doesn't need to have ANY experience, know about literally anything?
This shit is absolutely criminal... As it stands now my monopoly ISP REMOVED the 300mbps service and forced me into a 500mbps without my knowledge and increased the price by $40
Absolutely fucking criminal... All they are doing is throttling speed to give you that 300 so why the fuck can't it still exist? Oh yeah... Money. They want more money. It's so fucking gross...
The funny thing was that SCOTUS decided that Trump could commit any crimes he wanted if they were an "official presidential act" a few days later. I wish I could remember the usernames of the people who were arguing that with me so I could have asked them what they thought about Chevron after that happened. And now this.
courts have been the best anti trump/repbuplican ad.
T mobile already shaping the hell out of my internet. If I download a Netflix episode of a show without my vpn on, it could take like 15 minutes. With my vpn on it takes like 1 minute.
Hmm, those troublesome vpn users, we should probably ban vpn use. To eh, protect the children.
I'm really surprised that hasn't happened yet
How dare you use your internet bandwidth without our total control!

The supremes are debating if green lights are legal. For now drive anyway you'd like guys and gals. Also you may rape each other while running red lights. The supremes haven't discussed if they will report you to Cuba or not for that.
Ya know now that you mention it, I don’t recall Congress ever explicitly delegating the selection of the “go” and “stop” colors to any government entity. Wonder if you could now use this as a defense against running a red light…
If you're a president they let you do it.
Sounds like something a sovcit would try to pull.
Somebody needs to put Sarah McLachlan's Angel over the American flag and start posting it every time Anti-Chevron is used to break the government.
you know... I don't think I could pick many better ways to remind a population that they are nothing more than chattel.
superior quality rulling there, supreme court.
/s on that last sentence, cuz you never know.
