Still a good rant...

Yes, Apple does not grant freedom to App developers

You can't even talk about freedom

I'm an Apple App developer, selling for 14+ years. They don't just insist on control of everything, I believe they really hate developers.

It is kind of like TDS.

I think a year from now I'll be out of the game, just as they are finally giving a pay raise to developers. Not all developers, just the small ones.

Markowski says she may leave the GOP to become an Independent.

Grandstanding. Do you think she'll caucus with Schumer?

President Trump is a non-issue in 12 days.

Do you think the poop guy got riled up after reading all the fraud affidavits?

I may have misjudged this.

They might not put his name on the back of an NFL helmet.

@xenon And it should remain so. Would be a sad day that we should ever adopt republican governance or values.

And there are far worse monsters than Trump could ever be, prowling out in the political jungle.

True, but my hope is that there are also better ones.

Might well be wrong, but that's the general path most countries take...A revolution to a free society, then a creeping incrementalism to a socialist society, followed by a turn to strong, central figure of some kind.

In real life I'm a lot better looking and smarter.

I've met him, and this is fake news. SAD!

That was me sober. When I've had a few beers I'm like a cross between Brad Pitt and Stephen Hawking.

Well OK, I debate like Brad Pitt and I dance like Stephen Hawking, but still, it's a freaking start, OK???

@jon-nyc said in Civil War widow dies:

Mrs. Janeway, who lived her whole life in Blaine, about 30 miles north of Knoxville, was born 44 years after the Civil War ended.

This would be like someone who turned 18 in 2007 marrying a WWII veteran.

I wonder if she'll represent herself.

@mik said in Trump promises 'orderly transition':

An orderly transition comes after the election results have been announced. Not after you have exhausted all possibility of hanging on. He could have contested the results while still participating in the transition.

That seems like a good way to look at it. 👍

I'll bet Trump and all of his cronies received a check due to this "accident".

Of course...

Yeah, yeah, I know, don't shoot the messenger. If he's already brain dead there probably isn't much point, anway.

@taiwan_girl said in Death Threats Against Election Workers:

@aqua-letifer True.

Maybe the devout President Trump supporters are brainwashed. Maybe the way President Trump blinks his eyes hypnotizes them into doing crazy things. Lol

lol well I don't think Trump is Charles Manson or anywhere close, but there is a legal point to be made here.

You're not off the hook for inciting a mob just because you're a coward and watched what you did to the country behind your secret service detail.
