> A federal court on January 31 temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s government-wide pause on federal grant funding. But soon after, the administration argued the president’s directives were still in effect.

Will police and military soon go the White House/other places so that federal grant continues, if court asks?
Because if court cannot do that, it is already lost.

Cringes hard in the Yemeni civil war. Or the conflict in the Donbass. Or the various insurgencies in the Sahel, or the war in Darfur, or the Syrian civil war.

Were you fine? The Supreme Court was stacked by blatantly political appointees who then declared that the president has immunity for official business, even if it's blatantly illegal. This is a disgusting precedent to set, yet here we are.
Supreme Court appointments have been political for decades in the US. Sad? Yes. New? No.
>who then declared that the president has immunity for official business
Not a surprising ruling at all, and not a political one. Not a "disgusting" precedent. It is a very narrow ruling and is consistent with how these things have worked for decades. There is an impeachment process, you know that right?
This is different. This time there's an explicit removal of the people and structures intended to say "no" to executive overreach.
We ignore this at our own peril, as a nation.
I appreciate your comments about public transit and Zig compile times, so I don't want to ban you, but if you keep this up we're going to have to. It would be good if you'd stop.
IMO it's good for diversity to have some Marxists in the mix but not if they're posting things like "Lick the boot harder rightoid".

I've spent many hours posting about this in the last couple weeks: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... A couple recent explanations are https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43019507 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43032384.
Btw, PG has been vociferously anti-Trump for years and as far as I know he hasn't changed.
