That would be a lot of political capital used for what? Why would Biden help Trump in any way?
I would think of it less as "what could Trump give Biden" and more of "what could the MAGAs in Congress give Biden." Chances are good that a second-term Biden will need to work with at least one Republican-controlled chamber in Congress, and something like this might be what allows him to do something as simple as pass a budget.
For better or for worse, Trump is almost literally the second coming of Jesus to a large number of Republicans, and commuting his sentence might be something that provides Biden some leverage that could allow his presidency to function. Again, not saying that's anywhere near an ideal outcome (I'd much rather see Trump rot in prison), but it wasn't an outcome I'd previously considered and one I could see happening.
Chuck Todd mentioned on Meet the Press a few days ago that his pet theory is that Biden will commute Trump's [federal] sentence if Biden gets reelected (obviously, Trump pardons himself if Trump is elected). As much as I would hope that wouldn't be the case (honestly I've been convinced jail time is inevitable for Trump on these charges and this evidence), I think it's pretty plausible this winds up being the conclusion to this whole saga.
Game Thread: Minnesota Twins (54-50) @ Kansas City Royals (29-75) - Friday, July 28th, 2023
Note: Starting on Sunday, July 30th, I will transition to weekly discussion threads instead of daily game threads.
Droop snoot? Yeah, the snoot went droop.
That looks solid! I opted for a ProClip mount in mine (which snaps in to one if the vents above the head unit) since it's not invasive, but I like the placement of yours way better
My apologies everyone for creating the game thread late š«
I like the simplicity of password-store. It's just a simple wrapper around a text editor, gpg, and git that allows you to make an encrypted, version controlled password repository that you can sync between devices using GitHub/Gitlab/etc. It also doesn't lock you in to any app since the passwords are just stored in gpg-encrypted files.

As it should be! I tried out some of the alternatives, but they didn't really have the same feel as Reddit did

Please excuse me not generating this game thread before first pitch š
One of these days I'll get around to automating this...
