Trump is disqualified from Illinois ballot, judge rules in c/politics@lemmy.world

I'm just saying that before he's removed there needs to be something official. A legal finding that he did indeed participate in insurrection.

Once that's officially and legally established, then and only then, 14-3 should be invoked.

That’s already happened. There was a finding of fact that Trump participated in insurrection by state of Colorado.

That’s in part why this is the case the USSC has taken up. It is now established legal fact that Trump participated in insurrection, but 14-3 isn’t super clear that it pertains to POTUS, unlike the clarity for Senators and Representatives.

So there’s no question of guilt. That’s established. It’s now a question of applicability.

Second OT in Super Bowl history… both lost by Kyle Shanahan teams after a comeback by the opposition.

Fucking Phil.

Conservatives wanted “mental acuity” to be a top 2024 election issue. It’s blowing up in their face in c/politics@lemmy.world

Agree completely.

SSA retirement age should be the maximum age for a new term. If you hit 67 during a term, you cannot run for another.

SSA will likely be hesitant to shift that number at will, or risk drawing the ire of one of the largest voting blocks: retired persons.

Yeah! That’s the one.

Boy I’m glad they approved that “winter storm surcharge” from 2021 so they could make all the necessary updates to the grid, so we’d never have to deal with this again.

On top of courts ruling that they’re not really responsible for making sure you actually HAVE power… can’t get in the way of that sweet, sweet cash flow.

HEB was a circus. It’s like the apocalypse was announced. There’s so much shared PTSD over the ‘21 storms it’s crazy.

Speaking of… any of y’all got that ercot dashboard page still? Not the official one, but the aggregated monitor?

Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. in c/technology@lemmy.world

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the issue, but I’m reading it as a dislike for the new “modern” start menu in win11 that’s center screen and feels designed for touch interfaces?

You can disable that and turn it more like a win 7 style start menu.

but I still can’t get over the crippled start menu

You know you can set it back to “legacy”, right? I’ve been using Win11 since it was beta and when you swap the new default gui elements back to “legacy”, it’s much better than even win 10.

Pat Finnerty is great. This song is awful for a lot of reasons, and he tries to hit them all.
