I hope every fucking thing he’s stamped his name on gets reversed within days of when he’s out of office.

He’s grown more agitated with news coverage and has failed to find a way to explain why he started the war — or how he will end it — that resonates with a public concerned by American deaths in the conflict, surging oil prices and dropping financial markets. Even some of his supporters are questioning his plan and his overall poll numbers are declining.

I feel like these articles are just feel-good puff pieces for those of us who don’t support trump. Best as I can tell he continues to do whatever he wants and it really doesn’t matter how it sits with laws or judges or congress. Poll numbers certainly don’t matter to him. He stands no chance of being impeached (or convicted if somehow he was.)

You get headlines like this article because it’s what we want to hear, but in the end he just does what he wants.

while liking the old version seems like a uniquely old man thing to do, just hating change for being change

Gnome 3 was a huge paradigm shift. Most people who noped out of Gnome afterwards disliked very specific things about it, not just hating change for being change. This is a really dismissive and kind of insulting take.

It’s not the only tool he has, it’s just the only one he wants to use.

I’ve been using Linux for twenty years. I didn’t use KDE until they declared Plasma 5 ready for primetime. (I hated Plasma 4, and didn’t like the look and feel of KDE 3.5 at all)

Since hopping on with Plasma 5 I have absolutely no interest in anything else. I love KDE Plasma and it just keeps getting better.

That’s me in OP.

Not only do I miss nothing from Windows, but also the decisions MS has made each and every year since I dumped them has only increased my conviction that I made the right move in doing so. Not one time have I read a MS/Windows headline and felt I was somehow missing out on anything I would ever want to be a part of.

I wish I thought you were being ridiculous.

I’ve got a lot of worry about how much time he still has to get this passed, and about the viability of the midterms in general. I’m very worried he finds a way to suspend them, or actually gets this bill passed. (Or both)

There’s an embedded video in the article that starts right at the end of the water test so you then get to see all the broken things that the driver calmly shows us.

IIRC they have been divorced for some time, FWIW.

Yep somehow I did. I knew it had to be something like that.

I’d live the rest of my life with just a little more spring in my step knowing death wasn’t the end.

I was hoping it was something like that. I must have just missed it somehow.

I’ve never been in one, but family brought home some of their “beaver nuggets” and I really couldn’t believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn’ Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.

A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.

They also brought me some of the fudge, but I was less impressed with that.

They’re already impossible to deny as concentration camps,

The media needs to start calling them that before it will make it into the consciousness of the vast majority of people who aren’t paying as much attention as we are.

I keep waiting for the first major media outlet to have the courage to do so, but I suspect it’s going to get a lot worse before I get my wish.

I was the same. “They must have had a reason…”

I used to assume police were generally trustworthy and I could believe their version of any given event. Now I believe nothing they say without supporting video evidence.

I’m kind of amazed they admitted this. Under any other president I’d have been slightly surprised they admitted it, but with Trump lackeys in charge of seemingly everything at the federal level I’m outright stunned that they admitted it.

Good points, especially this one:

To me, the fact that it happened nowhere near Iran is the bigger deal. It means that parts of the world that aren’t aligned with either side in the war now have to wonder what might explode in their own territory.

I skipped right over that but it’s part of it for sure.

I just learned that five minutes ago, and it really does make it even worse.
