Not implying scheming, just that he only does it so the market goes up and I’m 1000% sure investors game that poo poo like crazy.

I would guarantee at least once someone has whispered into his ear just to bait a tweet that makes themselves some money though.

he appeals to the supreme court, the supreme court should based on precedent laugh him out of the room but (a) they don't give a gently caress and (b) even if they follow the law they may grant a stay and let trump continue to run out the clock

an appeals court has some amount of judges - I think the DC circuit is 13 - but only three will hear any particular appeal. instead of appealing to the supreme court you can appeal to have the case heard by the full slate of judges - i.e. all 13 - on the theory that maybe you just got a lovely draw on the panel and the rest of the court would overturn it. so maybe you lost 2-1 originally, but if you win the remaining judges 6-4 you win 7-6 on the en banc review.

it's rarely granted, but then again neither is supreme court review

This opinion was made by three judges out of the entire DC circuit. An en banc review would have the entire circuit review it.

Between the whole Activision Blizzard thing and now Trump getting a twitch channel this is a bad loving look for some of the key powers that be in the current makeup of the video game scene. It really does feel like a hobby I've enjoyed most of my life is in the process of being slowly but surely sold out to political interests. Certain people made (and occasionally still make) all this loving angry noise about diversity in video games with Gamergate and how awful the "politicization" of video games is by daring to depict non white male people in daring roles or positions of power particular groups aren't associated with having in real life, but now China's money over human rights and freedom of speech, and the universe's never-ending insistence in rolling over for whatever Donald Trump insists he wants to do (but you the everyday person are certainly not allowed to) feels much more like the further politicization of something that really shouldn't be.

and, to this point, the DC Circuit hasn't been packed by republicans or trumpists, so there's no reason to think a majority would agree with the batshit dissent by Rao i'm currently skimming that has to create brand new rules with no authority for them to justify why you can't subpoena trump

Hard to tell if you're being serious here but uhhhhh at least click the slideshow friend.

Obviously context matters but a forearm tat of an odal rune is more likely to be a dogwhistle to other white nationalists, not a shoutout to your favo contemporary historical dramatization TV show or RPG character.

Silly but hosed up and true! Idiots stealing Nordic symbolism and mythology and bastardizing it to fit their hosed up bigotry has been a thing for a while.

It is literally cultural appropriation, in fact!

My boyfriend has a gazillion runes on his hands and arms and is really apprehensive to visit the states for that reason. Despite the whole “dating a race mixing mixed race demoness” thing.

Asking us to not take seriously coopted white nationalist/nazi symbolism on the same page where said symbolism is being displayed by a couple of white nationalists is pretty galaxy brain as well.

Look, just because Actual Nazi Germany used those symbols to represent ethnic purity and the Aryan race, and those same symbols are used today by white nationalists in the US to represent ethnic purity and the Aryan race doesn't mean we can draw conclusions about those symbols because there's a show on AMC about Vikings

Himmler was behind the Nazi appropriation of runes as part of his dog's breakfast attempt at creating a religion for the SS. It's a long and very strange story that includes a Nazi archaeology program and a literal castle for the SS occult rites that still stands.

In short if you see some white American shitstain with rune tattoos he's alot more likely to be a fuckin' Nazi than some misguided harmless nord enthusiast.

Good for him for being the first one to realize that getting fired for complying with a subpoena will probably pay off in the end.

There is an entire culture and history behind those symbols that have zero to do with white supremacy, and it’s real hosed up that racists get to steal culture while decrying diversity and multiculturalism.

Runic symbols aren’t racist, but are employed by racists. Don’t let racists have them.
