They are going to ignore all laws that are inconvenient to them:
IF Trump isn’t permitted to run, maybe they’ll run with a placeholder, then have Trump be shoehorned-in somehow, perhaps by Republican-electorate decree…
Legalists, same today as in Yehoshua “Jesus” benJoseph’s day, pick & choose which pieces of the letter-of-the-law that they acknowledge.
That has always been their fundamental tactic, along with gaslighting.
Notice how the West held-to Natural Law ( morally-based Law ) in prosecuting Nazis, but … as soon as that was done … the West decided that Legal Posit-ivism ( legalism ) is the West’s right, and nobody has any right to be threatening any privilege through moral-law, as legalism prohibited that sort of behaviour.
Nothing’s changed: human-nature is the same, now, as it was back in the Christian bible’s times.

I’m a braindamage survivor.
You need to communicate your values, and why they are your values.
You need to communicate who you are, via the most-significant-moments/events you experienced: the most-significant-for-you meanings, see?
As for you disappearing, the Soul/CellOfGod/ChildOfGod/Continuum ( whatever you want to call it ) that causes the molecules in your body to continue-living ( yes, there is a physics-level cause for the anti-entropy behaviour expressed as living-organisms, and it isn’t there, when those same molecules are doing the disintegrating-corpse thing, obviously )
That cause is unkillable.
It keeps getting caught in conceptions/lives, through endless-stream-of-Universes’s perpetual recycling/churning of ALL energies ( including meaning! ) contained within it.
It isn’t the-individual-life that is the center,
it is the Soul/CellOfGod/ParticleOfBrahman that is.
IT experienced some of ITs growing-up, in/through your-life.
With you, your Soul got a gift, fersure.
My life’s been hell, & I’m glad:
nothing like aversion-therapy to force a Soul/CellOfGod to grow-up, eh?
The Soul that had “me”-personality won’t ever make that mistake, again.
: )
If you’ve still got any ability to read, or to have someone read to you, please have someone get Elisabeth Haich’s “Initiation” into you:
it is likely that only part of the book will be important for you, but that part will likely be IMPORTANT.
The world her Soul 1st inhabited was something like 10,000y ago ( it hasn’t rained much there, since then ).
My Soul’s spent most of its time inhabiting insect-lives, or particularly-stupid-fish-with-bad-eyesight.
It’s been centuries since it had been in a human-category life ( the Catholicism I was pressed into, by mom, got nuked when I discovered those strange-memories were memories of my Soul’s having lived in other kinds of lives.
Not only did it nuke all the Abrahamic religions, but it forced me to accept that ALL lives are lives because they have a Soul underlying them, and there isn’t anything “special” about the life of a human, except for our Potential & our Opportunity, which most take for granted, including me, in my younger days ).
Anyways, you can’t unexist, from Eternity.
You’ll always have-been, see?
The Soul/CellOfGod who had you has YOU in it, indestructibly.
I’m earning removal of me-personality now ( should be days ), so the nervous-system currently having “me” can get that “me” ripped-out & can replace it with a better personality ( it’s a Buddhist technique, apparently nobody remembers it, in the modern version of Buddhism, for some reason ), so you can stack multiple personalities/someones into a single incarnation, to get-through multiple-lives of lessons/growing-up crammed into a single incarnation/life.
It works, but it takes work to force one’s own identity-death, or removal of the instance-of-ego underlying one’s personality…
There are 3 kinds of mind that death-itself has difficulty “gripping” on:
-
Wisdom-realizing-that-all-phenomena-are-empty-of-self-inherent-existence
-
immeasurable-compassion for all sentiences ( but tempered by wisdom )
-
Faithing, which is the simultaneous surrendering-to higher-power, relying-on higher-power, and gratitude-to higher-power.
Faithing on one’s own CellOfGod/Soul is perfectly find/workable.
It has BuddhaNature/GodNature, so all you have to do is orient to that aspect of its nature, and then faithing is powerful/valid, see?
Guru-yoga, is faithing.
“a faith”, ie noun, … isn’t what the original texts said, btw.
Anyways, I hope something in this helps, gives you leverage.
Either way, our Souls will meet again, after “us”, sooner-or-later…
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, Hoomin!

I’ve been told that to start a fight in Francophones, just demand to know whether grapefruit ( pamplemousse, iirc ), is male or female…
: P
The book “The Alphabet Versus The Goddess” by Leonard Shlain, makes the point that women’s-rights simply don’t progress as quickly, in countries which have gendered languages…
So, Anglo cultures pushed women’s-rights, whereas Latin cultures … won’t, don’t, drag their heels, etc…
That book is now a couple ?decades? old?
It’s still true.
Conditioning an entire population’s System-1 ( Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, the System-1 is the default-instinct & the trained-now-automatic-expertise system, it also is the system that is both addiction & prejudice ) into gendering everything, automatically, may well prevent equal-validity from ever having place…
Mind you, I now want to see which Nordic/Scandi languages are gendered, & which Middle-East languages are gendered, to see if that holds in those parts of the world, not just in the Americas…
… digging …
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_in_Danish_and_Swedish
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender
( that isn’t a quick read… may come back to it some day… )
Bingo!
“The grammatical gender of nouns is one of two: a noun may be masculine or it may be feminine, and there is no neutral option. Moreover, masculinity is the default grammatical gender in Arabic and a word does not have to have anything special in order to reflect this. Femininity, on the other hand, is not default and a noun would have to have something special to reflect this gender in Arabic.”
from
https://www.learnarabiconline.com/gender/
So, there is ZERO hope of equal-validity in Arabic culture, because the language programs Arabic people’s System-1 into 2 exclusive validity-categories, with male being inherently more-valid, by established language-habit.
What about Hebrew?
No wonder women can’t get equal-validity in Jewish culture…
( I read a Jewess’s writing ~ Nobody EVERY celebrated the birth of a Jewish girl: only boys are celebrated ~ … which explains the damage in the stereotypical “Jewish mother”, a woman whose validity has been contempted by all in her culture, until the damage is her most defining feature… )
So, it looks like equal-rights/equal-validity for women is … baseless, in some/many cultures…
Interesting, but depressing.

Define “Friendly Fire” when it was a bit-error in a logic-board that made an AI butcher our own troops…
This is inevitable, just as autonomous kill-drones are inevitable.
Still jacking-up WW3’s tantrum/pogrom as hard as possible, of course…
The Great Filter is going to change the unconscious-mind nature of whatever remnant surivives this century.
( PS: the only climate-model I know-of that ISN’T contradicted by Antarctica’s current heating, is a powerlaw, and it predicts between 5C & 9C heating for our current atmospheric CO2 & human-added-methane.
5+C when the methane’s CO2-equivalent is ignored, between 8C & 9C when it is included.
That, too, is a Friendly Fire, incident, but planet-scope, right?
Evolution of global temperature over the past two million years https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798
Factoring in the excess methane, only, that we’re producing, brings it up to 8.33C planetary heating, using methane’s 20y CO2 equivalent. Other manufactured greenhouse-gasses are not included in that estimate.
Other tidbits…

Emperor’s New Climate Scenarios – a warning for financial services https://actuaries.org.uk/emperors-new-climate-scenarios
Isn’t the Pentagon & the pushers it is addicted-to, every bit as trustworthy as Big Oil?
The problem is the end of civil-rights: WHEN the only internet left is the internet that IS for-profit propaganda, auto-deleting all non-compliant human thought, discussion, intelligence, objectivity, etc,
THEN humanity is just managed “steers” whose lives are being consumed by corporations which graze on us.
Since another dimension of ratchet is the concentration-of-wealth, you can see that working-destitution is being enforced on more & more of humankind, and real wealth being limited to fewer & fewer…
What happens when the working-poor try fighting for a fair share of the economy?
Rigged legislation, rigged “police” ( I used to believe in the police ), anti-education Florida-style for the public, etc…
AI tilts the playing-field, and it does-so for the monied special-interest-groups.
They don’t have humanitarianism at heart.
Neither do the politically motivated.
Neither do for-profit-psychopaths ( corporations are psychopaths ).
Living in a Decorator Prison is all humanity can hope for, now: inmates, … except for the fewer & fewer oligarchs & the financial-class.
'tisn’t looking good.
Without Divine Intervention, which is statistically improbable an event, these are The End Times, but not for the reason that the religious claim.
2·1 year agoWhat are the security-recommendations you have for Linux, Wine, & Proton users,
that we simply wouldn’t, or don’t commonly, think of, given your abnormal expertise/view?

Possibly due to each discovery being some bacteria that eat exactly 1 chemistry of plastic.

Decaf green tea, steeped at room-temperature, so NO tannins get into my tea…
possilby rooibos, but haven’t had it in awhile, so don’t know if that’s still valid…
possibly something with cardamom seeds in it?
( :
Spend a half-month considering, deeply, which path you would most-value having taken at the end of your life.
Due to an unconscious psychological-limitation, imagine your funeral at 1.5x your current age ( we apparently have a kind of “horizon” in our ability to understand our meaning beyond that ),
and imagine each significant variant, or compromise, and see how each makes you, in that future-condition/context feel.
Your answer is within you, same as for everyone.
