Hey. Is it possible for Trump to pardon himself using his presidential powers in the next 10 days?
Shit, I just read this... not good for you guys... Not that we like Trump's antics but maybe be careful what we wish for...
Here comes corporate communism...

It's never been tested in court, but the general consensus is that self-pardons are not possible due to the legal principle that you can't act as your own judge. If Trump tried to pardon himself, it's highly likely that the Supreme Court would vacate it.
Corporations could do with a dose of communism, although that's not really what the article is describing - it just an anti-union screed. The Washington Times is only a newspaper in the sense that Sean Hannity is a journalist.

^ Yeah, corporations become the overlords. Like the selective Twitter blocking thing, (block Trump but leave that fake Chinese propaganda pic of an Aussie soldier killing an Iraqi boy) they will be societies moral compass. As they say in ST. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The swamp is almost full again ... same same...

Corporations are already the overlords. People in government being union-friendly are likely to mitigate that to some extent.

So, I went to the urgent care office today, and I got confirmation that whatever I've got, it's not COVID and it's not the flu. Likely just a stomach bug. Still on a diet of bananas, apples, toast, and Smart Water. I'm actually improving, surprisingly enough. Better than when I had to get out of bed this morning and was so light headed I had to crash on the couch.

Not much. I think I'll see if I can get closer to finishing my computer upgrade this week.

Preparing to recover the data from a RAID array that showed impending failure in January 2018. It's been mothballed since then, as I worked on developing its replacement.

Twiddling my thumb. Pass one of the data recovery is proceeding. No idea if it will finish tonight so that I can start pass two before I go to bed.
