True, and they have sponsored terrorism and they killed 3000 or more of their own people for protesting. This was probably inevitable, but it is just a huge drag that it had to be this president, and that it is being done without a vote from congress. Plus, well, Epstein.

Back doors, remotely executable code, I am sure Wired knows this is just timebomb ticking away.

We are going to need a completely new system after this administration is gone. Completely new systems will be needed for any system that was even remotely touched by them.

Yeah, that system is completely compromised. What would you suggest as an alternative?

That’s what I was wondering too.

This is definitely the way to go!

Maybe inspired by the guy at the Superbowl?

Right? Lol

You might want to check your headline for a possible error. Lol

Ha!

Rate hikes, like all other inflation, is a one-way trip. Once companies see the bottom line increase they will never go back. If their costs go down, that will just fatten the bottom line. That said, I do hope these measures at least flatten the hockey stick curve we have seen recently.

Reading this thread was the most fun I had all day! Bravo!

Hi everyone! I'm Eileen Laubacher, the Democrat, retired U.S. Navy Admiral, and mother of five running against Lauren Boebert here in Colorado.

I'd love if you could follow and share to help me get to 3,000 followers. Let's get rid of Boebert in November!

PS... love the fan art!

Regardless of your religion, beliefs, vibe, all of the above, or none of the above, the new Pope is what "good" is supposed to be.

Ugh…

Thank you.

No one person or entity in the US should be allowed to get rich enough to hire their own mercenaries. Security detail, fine. Mercenary army, no. He arguably has enough money to do this, and so do other people/entities. Our gov’t needs to keep that in check. That is gov’t 101.

When the sales numbers come in for Tesla and Starlink this time around, it is not going to be pretty. Anyone buying Tesla stock right now is a shill or a moron. Insiders are dumping it.

Time to take a chainsaw to his bottom line.

This is interesting, but I think his daughters would be just fine if they were fired from their jobs. They could get some other nice cushy job at some other corporation. More likely some other kind of threat or intimidation directly at Schumer. Or, he really believes this is the right path. 🤷‍♂️

Really nice work here. 👍🏼

Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid to Delay Foreign-Aid Payouts A divided Supreme Court declined to suspend a lower court’s order that directed the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign-aid funding.
