I always love this fantastic take. No, he's not right. He's literally responsible for it and he's to stupid to understand that.

Some of FTC's enforcements yesterday where against companies trying that against security guards. And it's striking how they talk about "libertarian" position --- if anything should make people question the "freedom of contract" nonsense it's contracts that make it impossible for people to make a living unless they keep working for the same company.

The fact that libertarian positions are inherently self-contradictory and literally impossible should make people question them.

So now Biden has a special counsel to investigate the classified documents at his office and residence.

I think there's no way in hell Trump gets indicted for hiding the documents at Mar A Lago now. Even though the situations were very different and Trump was purposely trying to keep them even after multiple negotiations to get them back. I think that's not going to matter now. If the precedent gets set that taking classified files is just what presidents do, then I don't see how any of them end up getting indicted. And we don't even know what will happen between now and the end of the special counsel investigations. What if documents are found in Obama's offices? Like someone else in this thread said, probably ever living former president is having their offices searched right now after today's revelations.

Not to mention the decorum angle and Garlands extreme sensitivity to looking political and partisan. Can we really expect him to indict Trump and not Biden knowing the explosion of right wing rage that will result from it?

There's nothing wrong with a special counsel investigating both. They both should be investigated, because we're talking about classified documents. If Biden's mishandling of the classified docs is, as it appears facially, to be purely accidental and corrected by his team when discovered, then it should be a pretty open-and-shut case. If the government seriously cannot differentiate between this and someone who intended to steal classified documents and then failed to return them, then that's a separate, far more serious thing.

The VP basically has the same clearance and info and the President, since their whole job is basically being the back up.

They have and need no security clearance.

"Power users" to me means tech people - the ones who make bots and plugins and other fancy poo poo. Every single infosec person I know of fled Twitter as soon as the sale completed, for example.

What actual evidence do you have that the vast majority of power users fled twitter?

People's lived experiences often don't reflect reality, because people's lived experiences include things they imagine.

Every time I see this I wonder how they expect their world to function without it. Senators and soldiers don't get paid without taxes, boyo. Its not like a social media platform where you can make "Freedom Revenue Service".

Senators easily get paid without taxes.

but it definitely seems like in this modern world public policy makers should respond to videos that gets a lot of views if only to maintain credibility.

That's literally all they'd be able to do then. There would be no time for anything else.

Field goals don't win football games.

Scoring 10 perfect field goals doesn't turn a 35-30 game on its head just because 10 scoring plays is more than 5 scoring plays

Except your analogy would be more apt if the 35 point team lost because they got most of their points in one quarter and the 30 team got more points in the other 3 quarters. Points are supposed to win games and votes are supposed to win elections, but the US doesn't democratically elect the President. Calling out Clinton for eating poo poo in an election she dominated, but lost only because the way the votes were arbitrarily divided, is dumb.
