@89th Good post I will add that President Trump is, like most nationalist populists, good at shifting blame to others, and having people believe it. Most politicians try to do this, but good populists are able to convince people better than others.

@George-K said in Is there anything Trump can't do?: https://x.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1850634487161336292 I think @jon-nyc suggested that before those two. They should give credit where it should be. LOL

@xenon said in Suckers & Jackasses: I love how these sort of rumors are just gobbled up (probably true), but anything Trump advisors said are made-up book fodder. LOL So true. But it is weard to me that VP Harris was the agreed candidate to run for president. Nobody I talked to thought she was the strongest available.

I remember following this case that also involved a suitcase. It is from Chicago. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/17/1225256289/bali-suitcase-murder-sentencing-heather-mack

Maybe reserve the free tuition for those who go into the lower paid doctor areas.

@Jolly said in How many people know the definition?: Since Kamala-lama-ding-dong, Hillary and others are slinging the word around willy-nilly... Former President Trump slammed the Democratic Party as a group of "fascists" https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-unleashes-fascists-dem-party-after-very-good-day-trial

Stewart: "That's like bringing Beyonce to a rally and not having her sing."

Hence, the thread impetus.

Don't hold your breath...

I think that if you are a sincere, honest person Joe Rogan would be a wonderful guy to have a nice chat with. I don't see the issue with him--unless you are a piece of s**t. Then he finds you out and you--arn't toast, Rogan doesn't make you toast--you turn yourself into toast. And that's why he gets the billion bucks.

Stole my line, Jolly--she had 'um and used 'um. But she was a wonderful all around nice lady. I don't know anything about her personally, but on screen she was a delight to behold. RIP.

Must have dusted off some old personal files of J Edgar Hoover’s on entrapment of politicians for future use. The Kennedy family files would have been of particular utility in Comey’s operation.

It was at the exit/entrance from 495 to Georgetown Pike.

@LuFins-Dad I presume you just bought it directly, right?

What I don't know is how sophisticated the vast majority of military silicon needs to be. As an example - many modern airplanes are still running on 486 silicon from the 90's, because the software needs to be absolutely bullet proof and battle tested. But what we know for sure: if the U.S. got cut off from TSMC chips, its economy would go into deep recession because so much of the consumer/business electronics space depends on it.... the tech sector would collapse. China and the U.S. fighting each other is idiocy. Feels like economic suicide for both sides.
