  1. Because of hate, lawfare, and irrationality.
  2. Interesting read and interpretation. However not convincing. The follow-on rulings will be interesting to watch. Key reasons/keywords: Oath, 'support', officer, offices mentioned...and words mean things, also lack thereof. First, the Insurrectionist clause starts at banning, or 'disabling', at the Congressional level and then under the United States to individual states. Note the primacy writing style used. This undoubtably means officers APPOINTED by public authority as mentioned in your citation's para 130-132 who are found guilty of insurrection, yes? These same insurrectionist must have sworn to "support" the Constitution, while POTUS' oath does not. References follow. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S1-C8-1/ALDE_00001126/ (might have to cliffnote more this website after all this...) & https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-2/section-1/clause-8/ Second, The Office of the President is filled chiefly by an election & electors. POTUS is not an appointed officer in that sense, despite the position being an office, that is the Office of the President of the United States. Third, and back to that primacy writing style, why would "an officer of the United States" which is written after "member of Congress" include the POTUS when Congress is written out expressly and POTUS is not? Lastly, perhaps most importantly, the preposition 'under' versus the use 'of'. Under meaning that which is below or beneath or lower-than. Section 3 says to disable any insurrectionist from holding any office under the United States. So clarify for us, is it the President of OR under the United States? I await your answer curiously because a new adjudged interpretation of this matter by you and SCOTUS could change the big guy's business card to PUTUS! Which sounds wrong... (and likewise SCUTUS)
  3. Is POTUS an officer, Congressman, and/or state legislator/judicator sworn to the constitution per 14th Amendment, SEC. 3? // ...member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state...// https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv# I'd say several on this forum are officers (clearly), one to two are/were congressman, and who knows the last category....but POTUS fitting those categories, likely no. So why was it brought in the first place against #45?
  4. Naive. Eventually one must pay the piper/bondholders. Perhaps you mean modern monetary theory is "free" until critical mass of debt-load is achieved? ...in the end, like the pied piper poem, the children will suffer. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45818/the-pied-piper-of-hamelin
  5. I was thinking Empress, but that's works too!
  6. Go for the 🏆 and it's not just Germans, but Norwegians too! Death dive with Miriam into that crazy pool! Looks fun. Miriam Hamberg
  7. Ein Prosit!
  8. Soon to be like half that I hear. But the redemption is more total AR/VR hours than flight hours...🤨🤔 On that, will 781s be updated enabling to log AR/VR time? They THAT serious? Will playing Starfox count? Maybe Halo? Okay, in all seriousness...MS Flight Sim? What about UPT vs UPT-H flight hour comparison?? Maybe sorties/repetitions?
  9. So...alcohol sales will discontinue until morale improves!?

  13. So it's a numbers game!? There is always a first, and...
  14. And dump remainder of month's schedule? So on 4 days for the month? ..and maybe some reserve or no
  15. That's been a hot minute, otherwise yup... Now it'd take 2x #1 OOM from O-4 & 5 LAF-___ promo-boards to get ~2-3 BTZ equivalent to O-6. That's some crazy-stupid OPB/PRF strat soup required now to achieve both. Havent seen a mil bio boasting such yet
  16. Just wait till, if, marijuana is made federally legal. All of Cali, Alaska, and Blue Ridge Mountains' will be contracted out and planted.

  18. But will AI 'take a virtual knee' or make commercials on politics...itself!? Say for AI-rights, for AI itself, not right to utilize AI...interesting ethical ponderings Rights-to-use example: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Blueprint-for-an-AI-Bill-of-Rights.pdf
  19. No, that's 0.0001% away from a wardrobe-malfunction and after that, beyond NSFW!
  20. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/write-off.asp Fractional ownership equals Fractional write-down/off under GAAP perhaps...? What do I know as am not a CPA/CFP. Owner vs operator is a distinction, and a business strategy...get a tax attorney's or CPA's advice, otherwise KISS-principle. It's all about where the liability lies.
