I think reasonable people can quibble over Trump or Bush being the worst president (I still say it’s Bush) but I think we can all agree Donald Trump is the dumbest person to hold the American presidency.

You’ve captured the fundamental ethos of the professional politician class worldwide.
Trump told MTG she brought the threats on her son’s life herself. He told Kevin McCarthy on Jan. 6 that MAGAts were rioting because they were probably more upset at the election results than him.
Trump doesn’t care who dies as long as it benefits him.

This American citizen holds to the proposition that those running for elected office should only be allowed to receive campaign contributions for Citizens eligible to vote in that election. No foreign money. No PAC money. No political party money. No corporate money. No Outside money period.

You were wise. You selected the Operating System to match the work you do. Uptime and throughput are the qualities to optimize.
The reason Windows is on my brand-new box is because it was easier to disable its shiz and do my job, than it was to hack in the ability of linux to do the same job.
I tried. I really did. My friends were there through the whining: ask 'em.

Living with Windows has always been a calculus of how useful it is professionally vs. the amount of unbearable shit you gotta disable with a script and I think we reached a tipping point where it’s majority unbearable shit.

Why do we keep following the gerontocracy over the edge to the rocks below?
Pelosi: “Right now, the Republicans in the Congress have abolished the Congress — They just do what the president insists that they do. That will be over — That ends as soon as we have the gavel”
The quote makes me wonder who would be the progressive challenger to Jeffries for Speaker

Mentality here is that these were portable machines for LAN parties, why not have one that looks like a traveling suitcase?

In an internal email, 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi said new editor in chief Bari Weiss had “spiked” the story and said the government was using silence to “VETO” stories.

Apologies for suggesting actions that are inappropriate due to your country of residence. Thank you for the reminder that NOT everyone "raging against the night" is an American.
I would if I could, but I'm a Canadian #Resister. I go out on demonstrations and support my friends here. Your advice is good to all Americans.

While President Trump has lagged behind his predecessors in the number of official appearances in his second term in office, he has relentlessly pursued the public’s attention in other ways on a daily, and sometimes even hourly, basis, a New York Times analysis shows. trib.al/nf83ouc

When did the AFL-CIO forget their 1955 purpose?
1) Enhance collective bargaining power
2) Improve political influence
3) Better advocate for Union workers in a postwar economy facing corporate consolidation, automation, and anti-labor policies (e.g., the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947)
