Absolutely unhinged from reality!

One of the current republican yes votes will flip. These people have no courage.

The truth stands in the way of them exercising power the way that they want, so the truth must go.

I'm certainly not one to defend trump, but I could see a 15 year old working in the back of the house 10 or 15 hours a week washing and folding towels, or keeping glasses of cucumber water full.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and weโ€™re supposed to pretend itโ€™s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with todayโ€™s political mainstream media.

I know that Jr isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but are we sure this is real?

I did some poking around this morning. Looks like this all started during the first Trump admin with 8645. I couldn't find any 8644 refs. It certainly looked like MAGA went hard with 8646...

Turns out that you can find 86 45, 86 46, and 86 47 tees on Amazon. Never miss an opportunity to make a buck...

I've got to say, I've heard this case discussed on several podcasts (including slate's political gabfest), and those descriptions of this case bore no resemblance to this episode's description. My perspective tends to be center left, and this struck me as an exceptionally biased presentation.

Not a trump fan whatsoever, but to be fair, if 90 agreements were possible in 90 days, you would not expect their release to be spread evenly over 90 days. Assuming you formed 90 teams to work them, you would think that each might take a month or more, so you wouldn't see any for the first month.

I'm not sure this article accomplishes much more than make you and a lot of your readers feel good about themselves. "I thank God that I'm not like that vile person over there..."

According to snopes, this claim is not true.

Try asking an ai engine to do it for you. I just asked google's gemini to write a ksh script to do what you describe and it produced a result. Didn't test it, but you might as well give it a try...

So Maher has told us that a con man can be gracious. I'm shocked I tell you! Absolutely Shocked!

His reaction to his visit seems terribly naive to me...

Are you going to remove the cap on payouts as well? The design of social security is to base payouts on the amount paid in. How would you change the payout side of things?

No. Graphical install. No more difficult than any other distribution I've ever installed.

Just switched to Fedora from Manjaro and I'm very happy with it. It's been rock solid, and I was looking for a vanilla GNOME implementation.

Have no problem believing that the publicly released results have been fudged, but this is fake news nonetheless...

I listened to several of the shows this morning and all the administration officials seemed to be hinting at the same thing, saying that the admin was studying semiconductors and related products together with pharmaceuticals. Lutnick went farther than most, but they all seemed to be hinting at it.

Hate to say it, but I'm with him on this one.

That's why we ended dependence on tariffs in the late 1800's. Too many opportunities for graft. But they are perfect for our mob boss president. Just another protection racket.

I asked the question because the original posting said that Rubio made an argument that torturing these folks would be OK. I have a hard time believing that he would actually say that. I agree that the treatment some of these folks are getting is unacceptable.

Clearly we have to raise the limit if we want to fix social security. But I'm curious, for those of you who want to eliminate a cap altogether, what are you going to do about payouts?

Can someone provide a reference. Dad he really say we could torture?

Stop breaking the law and the injuctions will stop. Not rocket science.

I was wondering when this would happen. If I were on the board, I'd be asking the same question. His reputation has been valuable to them up to now, but at some point his lack of involvement, and his unpopularity becomes a liability.

Deleted mine a few months ago, but not until I created a windows 11 VM running under Linux. I don't use it for anything, but it's nice to have around when friends ask me to troubleshoot their PCs. I haven't used Windows in so long, it helps to have an install to remind myself how things work.
