Yes and no. The US Marshals are law enforcement for he Federal Courts. However they are not a part of the judicial branch. They are still part of the executive branch and answer to the DOJ.

So... literally the "where does power lie" question from Game of Thrones. When you are meant to enforce the Court's orders but you're also meant to follow the DOJ's orders, which orders do you follow when they conflict?

Until they start sending out US Marshals and other judicial officers to arrest offenders and charging them for contempt... it kind of is just advisory.

That one feels the most relatable as one who works in tech. Everything is an acronym, man, and most have no idea what the acronym stands for.

I kept getting mixed up with Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds, and got really excited then disappointed when I heard about Outer Worlds 2, thinking that Outer Wilds was getting a sequel. So it was always a bummer to me even without actually playing the game.

His definition of the anti-christ is literally anyone that opposes his personal politics and business interests. AI-skeptics (which he describes as "luddites"), advocates for measures to fight climate change, and globalists/anti-nationalists/international cooperatives.

"Everybody knows [...]" means my parent(s) had some weird or strict rules and life lessons that I had hounded into me which I internalized into my very being and never questioned, and now I have unspoken and often unrealistic expectations of people and the world that no one has absolutely any reason to know about.

I know they're not. That was my point. The guy before me was disagreeing with me that the 2A thumpers werent doing fuck all. I'm saying they are.

Because... People are using their arms against the tyrannical government? I've seen a few Black Panthers doing it right. That's about it. And it's sure as shit not been them that have argued that the law is there for them to be able to do that. They understand that their effectiveness is in deterence, at the moment, not constitutionally protected insurrection, which is what a lot of 2A thumpers seem to think it allows them to do. In no way will use of firearms against the sitting government or its law enforcement or military ever be officially condoned by any level of that government, no matter what the constitution says/means/implies, I promise you.

Been calling them on their bullshit for years with hypothetical situations. Now we have the real thing and I was fucking right.

Mmhmm, yep, uh uh.... I know some of those people!

I'd be surprised if there were any legal consequences for something like this. It's not a "booby trap" in the traditional sense where it poses a danger to legitimate visitors or emergency responders entering a property. It is a solid structure inside another (seemingly less solid) structure. You should already not be trying to ram into it. It poses zero risk to anyone that doesn't already intent to maliciously destroy the apparently less solid structure.

He said that until Trevor Noah, no one, absolutely no one, has ever even suggested that Trump has been to Epstein's Island.... I'm trying to figure out if he's just seeing how absolutely blatantly, obviously, provably he can lie and still make some brain dead MAGAs believe or at least parrot him and allow him to write their reality for them .... or if his dementia has made him genuinely aghast at the "first" time someone has suggested such a thing becuase he thinks it is.

The problem with diagnosing a pathologically lying narcissistic megalomaniac with dementia is telling the difference between patently absurd lies asserted with every ounce of his being, and genuine confusion from his broken brain.
