BingoBoingo: So Trump has unleashed Bannon, Gorkha, relieving them of obligations related to actual white house attachment. As this happens he's trapped Jared and Ivanka's establishment friends in Daddy's house, and Daddy's making the rules now.
mircea_popescu: heh
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. zee pantsuits have serious reason tyo be worried, in a police state the unchecked power to pardon is very dangerous.
mircea_popescu: way us works, "everyone's guilty", of nothing in particular but nevertheless. then trump's guys walk and the pantsuits are left to do 5+ years "sentencing guidelines".
mircea_popescu: a coupla years of this, the pantsuit party will be akin to 1880s russian futurists.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, pardoning is the only power that matters when original sin is on the line
asciilifeform predicts that if this button starts getting heavy use, it'll be unplugged quickly and quietly
mircea_popescu: how ?
mircea_popescu: constitutional ammendment ?
asciilifeform: nah, same way as they unplugged his executive orders. 'pardon? very funny, d00d stays in jail, whatchagonnadoaboutit'
mircea_popescu: heh
mircea_popescu: he actually can call the natl guard.
mircea_popescu: that's how all the rooseveltian bs was imposed in the 50s.
asciilifeform: could have called it to get the illicit immigrants out of berkeley, also
asciilifeform: but did not.
mircea_popescu: iffier, but yes.
asciilifeform: nor the 'judges'.
mircea_popescu: well how the fuck would that have worked.
asciilifeform: i suspect that he dun particularly want to learn whether ~that~ button worx
BingoBoingo: "You broke the rules" "Fuck you, you're breaking the rules" "Fuck you I'm Tom Brady"
mircea_popescu: who's tom brady ?
BingoBoingo: The Cartman who is in the nightmare with Commisioner Cartman and Coach Cartman
mircea_popescu: ah
BingoBoingo: A perfect storm of hypocrisy that captures America's attention for months on end...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why not ?
asciilifeform: now this i have nfi, why not, lol. ask him...
mircea_popescu: but YOU proposed it.
mircea_popescu: "i think alf fucks chickens" "Why would he do that" "i dunno, ask him"
asciilifeform: proposed for lack of better hypothesis in my head
hanbot: does mircea_popescu assert you can't suspect someone of something without knowing a plausible motive?
mircea_popescu: well gotta have some basis ; otherwise what are you suspecting them of, "i suspect thee of me not liking you" ?
asciilifeform: ( e.g. If it were known that asciilifeform were stranded on asteroid with only his chicken, but nevertheless fucked... )
asciilifeform bbl
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok, that works. indicate such set of knowns.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> nor the 'judges'. << Pardon theology doesn't work that way.
mircea_popescu: i think that was re "call natl guard"./
BingoBoingo: Right, but this is why not call on judges over executive orders. It's a theological question.
BingoBoingo: Pardon vacates decisions judges attach to people.
BingoBoingo: Decisions judges make about decisions are condemned to float around judge wank
mircea_popescu: interesting point.
BingoBoingo: It's why you can national guard over one point and not the other
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> could have called it to get the illicit immigrants out of berkeley, also << And on this point INS is scaling up enforcment, can't National Guard while they can scale up unless salable "crisis".
BingoBoingo: While 'Murica may have been denied the possibility of a functioning culture by the Puritains, the Xtian possibility of absolution is the only role President and Governors have which seperates them from retail managers and traffic cops
