Oh, so now we’re worried about the legality of things?

I can work with that. If the federal government decides to enforce the laws they have on the books, then I don’t think Texas needs to leave.

Thats a win/win scenario if I’ve ever seen one.

You could shit all over the Bill of Rights. It's cheap and something they love to do!

I'm out of the loop. What happened on Friday?

Thanks!

I'm not disagreeing with your point, so please don't take it that way.

"Well-regulated" at the time didn't have quite the same connotations as we assign it today. In short, well-regulated meant that it was ready and capable to do it's duty. Specifically, that it would be appropriately armed to stand against a threat. This understanding is precisely why it is understood that arms capable of reasonable management by an individual are protected, but those that aren't (mortars, nukes, tanks, etc) are not.

Anti-gun lobbyists try to twist the meaning into "well-controlled" by assigning today's typical use to an older document that didn't use the language quite the same, which completely misses the point.

Fuck Greg Abbott.

He started improving when he ran the initial polls leading up to election season. Does he want a fucking cookie? He hasn’t done a damn thing to protect individuals from their employers, his general protection from vaccines had no teeth, his talk on the border is bluster at best…

I’ll take his bullshit over what some states are dealing with, but he’s a politician through and through. Time for some new blood down here.

There’s an easy fix: Take over the school boards.

Also in telecom, and this is mostly correct. (Not sharing this for you, obviously, since you know your stuff, but just clarifying for anyone that wants to be pedantic.)

5G is broken into three tiers: Low, Mid, and High band. All three are technically available, but only high band meets the performance criteria most people associate with 5G. However, High band has a LOT of problems, and doesn’t logistically work in areas that are not wide open with a ton of people to justify the infrastructure.

Low and Mid bands, while they are technically 5G, are not at the frequencies or capabilities of high band 5G.

So while these companies are not overtly lying about having 5G, they are intentionally vague about which version you’re receiving.

Low band 5G is functionally no different than 4G.

Mid band 5G is functionally no different than LTE (though it is still markedly higher speed).

High band is the one everyone is concerned with, but it is so cost prohibitive that it’s only seen in a few major hot spots globally, and the signal doesn’t reliable penetrate glass.

That’s the town of Mesa in Arizona, not Mesa County in Colorado. It’s near the long-haul fiber rings that serve the majority of California.

Fuck Abbott. He’s only growing a pair because Allen West is polling well, so he takes West’s talking points and claims them as his own.

I’ll take whatever relief we can get, but this motherfucker showed his true colors.

Cognitive Dissonance: the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.

At two cents, I think you’ve radically overvalued your opinion.

I don't know that we disagree as much as we have a different view of what's happening. There is no Constitutional remedy left, which forces Trump into a situation where he must either accept the current path, or put us onto a path that is completely uncharted and of questionable legality.

Even if the argument is successfully made that treasonous results cannot stand, you're going to have violence from the left. They simply aren't going to accept it, no matter how you air the crimes and grievances committed by the offending parties.

What should come next is morally correct, but it's a hard argument to call it constitutional.

I disagree. They've failed to follow the constraints of the Constitution, and the only way to reconcile this is for Trump to do the same.

In effect, they've forced him to become the dictator they've always accused him as.

I think this is why they shifted the narrative on the Coronavirus. Why bother saying something as insidious as "we're experiencing a 9/11 every day?"

At best, it's a disgusting comparison. At worst, it's an appeal to lessen the travesty of their own crimes.
