Oh and at one point, one cop pepper-sprayed another cop. (Around the 12-second mark.)

this is symbiosis. just gives the bosses more cover to keep moving rightward to address the bad-faith criticism. it’s working as intended
The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

my less charitable interpretation is that so much software was already buggy af from orgs moving too fast and being too willing to accumulate tech debt that this isn’t a big departure in thinking or practice. AI is probably writing many of the tests now too

He’s threatening a fake cartel in a country sitting on a ton of oil while freeing an actual narcotrafficking ex-president who he likes. This isn’t hard to understand unless you want to make it hard to understand.

And just to be 100% clear it is explicitly forbidden in Article 23(d) of the 1907 Hague Convention IV, itself incorporated into domestic law via 18 USC 2441(c)(2). It is a directly enumerated war crime, and giving or acting on that order is prosecutable domestically.

Let me put this more productively: there was considerable public fury toward previous Republicans for lies, crimes, misbegotten wars, etc. But it ran up against the *enormous, extremely powerful* forces defending elite impunity. And the latter forces won, decisively. It was barely a fight.
