Ok, so that’s the crux of it that I think was unclear in your original post.
Your initial post was read by me (and presumably others) as “NATO without the backing of the USA isn’t a meaningful defense group”
But I think what you’re saying is “ENTRY to NATO with the USA pulling the strings is an unrealistic goal”
Even if the USA were to leave NATO or refuse to participate, there still isn’t a better security guarantee than the remaining block being obligated to engage militarily in your defense, and the block still contains nuclear powers.
JD is drawing false equivalence, to lead to the conclusion that law doesn’t matter.
Does a judge plan a military operation? No. But they can establish if it is legal.
That’s their whole job, to establish if actions violate the law. If they violate the law, they can order them to stop.
Judges don’t write the law. You don’t like the judge’s ruling? Change the law. Judges don’t write the laws, they just interpret the ones that exist.
JD is arguing that judges (and by extension, the law, and by extension the fundamental concept of the rule of law) don’t apply to him and Trump. It’s literally an argument for monarchy.
“We need H1B visas because American workers aren’t smart enough to do the work”

So his defense was that he was merely intending to humiliate people who find issue with the gesture?
Still not a ton of details so I’m for sure not jumping to any conclusions, especially with how shitty Tesla’s are and their safety record…
But, Trump Tower and a Cyber truck certainly is the perfect symbolic intersection of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. If one did want to make a symbolic statement about the two, I don’t know if I can think of a better intersection. Can you?
Obviously it’s not proof of anything and Tesla’s fucking suck. But I at least can comprehend why the perfection of the symbolism is noteworthy to people.
Edit: I see in a follow up comment buddy is linking it to New Orleans. I see no connection.
I live in Canada and tbh I’m with the Chad on this.
Not saying “turn off your furnace” but energy use (and cost) baloons exponentially based on how hot you have your thermostat set at. Lower your thermostat to the point where wearing a sweater indoors is enough and save money. It’s not even just about the money, it’sresponsible energy usage.
And I’d be happy to subsidize the first X GJ/mo to help people keep themselves from freezing, but if people want their apartment to be the tropics that’s gotta be on their dime.
Same with electricity. I’ll subsidize keeping your lights on but I’m not paying you to mine crypto.

I think a lot of Americans don’t understand that the USA hedgemony isn’t a divine right, it was a deliberate construction with tacit agreement of convenience from the western world.
Much like an economy, belief makes it so.
Much like the UK’s arrogance has driven them into geopolitical obscurity, so will the USA’s.
In 15 years, Americans are going to wake up and realize that their voices are irrelevant in the world. I don’t know how y’all are going to handle it.
This guy is the definition of “if your only tool is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail”.

It’s also super weird to fixate on the physical attractiveness of people who receive such awards
The idea that anyone would think that our bodies change at a constant rate is so bizarre to me, having gone through puberty myself (not to brag).
Crime, boy… I don’t know
