He hates being at the White House, with all the rules and procedures that have to be followed there. He’d much prefer to engage in open corruption without all that red tape.

Small enough to fit snuggly between you and your rights.

After this pathetic shit-show, it’s going to drop more.

Now that’s a sign of a healthy company!

I’d like to see his tender feelings bruised a lot harder.

Which, in a two-party, first-past-the-post system, amounts to voting for Trump. They simply could not realize this.

It actually started the day after the election. People are actively searching for ways to escape this shit-hole country.

I know I am.

Translation: “Install Linux.”

The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”

Make him do it. Make him do it over and over. New contempt charges every time one of these asshat lawyers refuses a lawful court order. Take up all of Trump’s time with having to continuously pardon his own lawyers.

Throw. That. Lawyer. In. PRISON. There may be no way to enforce the law on Trump himself, but make lawyers afraid to do his dirty work.

That’s actually really shocking. I looked it up, and you’re correct. Hijackings were extremely common in the 60s and 70s.

And I support the rest of the G7’s right to form a “G6” and tell the USA to go fuck itself. And I say that as an American.

It’s a very big “if,” though. Europe has a lot of work to do.

But with the United States falling to fascism and despotism, there’s no one else to step up. And I doubt Europe has any illusions about the size of the threat Russia poses, so they have every incentive to halt Russia’s expansionist goals there in Ukraine.

Putin once said Russia’s borders don’t end anywhere, a very telling sentiment: He doesn’t believe anything but Russia should get to exist. A country that doesn’t respect its own borders is a threat to all of its neighbors.

And because of its expansionist goals, its neighbors are the entire world.

So… Europe is going to massively step up support for Ukraine. It’s possible that unlike the United States, Europe will have no reservations about giving Ukraine everything it needs to not only hold Russia back, but to outright win.

An unambiguous win for Ukraine would almost certainly culminate in the death of Vladimir Putin and a full, systemic collapse in Russia. At this point, Russia is all in on destroying and taking over Ukraine, and if it can’t, it’s basically got nothing else to fall back on.

Twice. They did it twice.

Headline in six months: Salesforce Hires Software Engineers After Realizing Middle Managers Don’t Know How To Turn AI-Generated Code Into Actual Applications

Being a software engineer is a hell of a lot more than just the actual act of writing code.

Considering how well Ukraine treats its prisoners of war (as opposed to how well Russia and North Korea treat their soldiers), this may very well be the best thing that’s ever happened to them.
