This is how America will lose the next war. And it will more than likely be with China. Why? Because Trump is an idiot that doesn’t understand how things work, and Hegseth is completely out of his depth and making decisions based solely on arrogance and personal ideology.

Do not fall for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “new attitude.” It’s just campaigning. Populism. Retribution. Never a genuine redemption arc. Just BS to gain power.

Oh please, people, stop buying this nonsense that suddenly she’s making sense and is worthy of praise. It’s ludicrous that people are now apparently giving her a pass after all the horrific things she has done to our country.
No forgiveness for that woman, EVER.

A cautionary note in light of yesterday’s election result:
We are NOWHERE NEAR out of the woods. Yes, the results were a silver lining, but Trumpists still control the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.
Our Congress is broken. The Court is deluded.
There is still a LOT of work to do.

Last time I checked, this was known as TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
This was just one of the many grievances that triggered the American Revolution, and one which “Republicans” seem so hell-bent on imposing on Americans today.
I’ll say it again:
“Republicans” hate the Republic.

Oh right, it doesn’t work anymore because Mike Johnson is an incompetent buffoon.

Remember about 10 years ago when #Apple went on a crusade against #skeuomorphism and tried to banish its use across its all of its software and operating systems?
Well, guess what just appeared in the #iOS 26 Calendar app… I guess their designers got bored or something?
What’s old is new again.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I’m old enough to remember when my awful mood wasn’t the direct result of the President of the United States being the most awful human being possible that had no depths of depravity to which he wouldn’t go.
I hope one day Americans can live that kind of life again. Because it was fucking awesome.

My tips for anyone in tech:
1) Going IPO is an awful idea
2) Don’t aspire to be a CEO
3) Execs are administrators, not rock stars
4) You will never ever be like Steve Jobs
5) An MBA isn’t a pass for bad behavior
6) Tech sold its soul years ago
7) Wall Street is the enemy
8) The glory days are gone
