This is another Chief Justice Roberts feint, like striking down the Chevron deference, isn't it? That is, it's part of Roberts agenda to concentrate power in the Supreme Court.
Alex Jones lives in a fantasy world. He's "right" about nothing. If he does happen, by chance, to say something true, it's a case of the blind pig finding an acorn once in a while.
co-founded the company along with Trump’s three sons
Barron Trump, now 20 years of age, is one of the co-founders. I assume this means he will get founder reverance. I also note that the two Trump daughters were either cut out of the lucrative crypto trade, or had the good sense to stay away from an ethically dubious operation.
Not a lawyer, here, of course, but does "transformed" cover making a functional copy? Artistically, "transformed" means something is related, but different. In the case of software, this transformation is to code that actually does the same thing as the original. Is that "transformed"? I apologize if that comes off as pugnacious - I'm trying to learn, not poke holes in your argument, but I couldn't figure out a better way to phrase it and still retain the question.
I wish there was more detail on verifying things like "code parsed PDFs to CSV". LLMs have trouble with arithmetic, so some verification should take place, but isn't mentioned.
Evangelical Christianity demands that adherents have a personal relationship with Jesus. That demand makes such Christianity different than other branches. Evangelicals getting worked up about Trump portraying himself as Jesus is in line with beliefs. Evangelicals have avoided doctrines, dogmas and canons, so they don't have specific sins like heresy, blasphemy and sacrilege, but borrowing from denominations that do, Trump committed sacrilege I think.
> what kind of mindless ideologue thinks this was just a whim for giggles?
Likely not a single one - it's been starkly clear for more than a year that the current US Federal DoJ is being wielded not on a whim for shits and giggles but for revenge and manipulation.
And nothing prevents the other side once the pendulum swings back in the other direction, from doing the same as long as there are enough laws on the books that this is true:
I mean, yeah maybe. The other hand put yourself in their position. I mean me alone… the number of times I’ve woken up and found myself committing wire fraud and money laundering in order to pay KKK and neo Nazi groups is like geez, Tuesday already?
> They are indicted in federal court… what kind of mindless ideologue thinks this was just a whim for giggles?
It is well-known that the bar for securing an indictment is very low. There is a famous quote about it: "Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich."
It too is well-known that the Trump administration is exerting great pressure on the DOJ to charge political opponents with crimes. The most public of these was when the DOJ twice failed to secure an indictment against Letitia James, following pressure from Trump and the firing of DOJ prosecutors who resisted pursuing the case against James. This was notable because indictments are so easy to get.
The current acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, was asked about a message Trump sent to the previous AG (Bondi), where Trump wrote ""What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia??? ... They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!". Blanche stated ""That type of communication from President Trump should make every American happy".
The SPLC has been highly critical of Trump for years, and been a legal thorn in his side. It's always been the case that a case being brought shouldn't be taken as any implication of guilt, and it is especially true in this case. The evidence, or lack thereof, will be revealed in court in due time.
