Because all of Trump’s relationships are transactional, he can’t fathom a relationship between two people who actually love each other and work together as equal partners.

Exactly, it’s like thinking he had a plan the whole time to bankrupt his casinos or any of his other many failed ventures. He is just bad at leadership because his narcissism constantly self-sabotages, like with his casinos he constantly made terrible and expensive changes and his ego wouldn’t allow any one working for him to challenge him, so he’d blame everyone, stiff contractors, fire competent staff who could actually turn the situation around and the next thing you know the casino is failing despite it being basically a sure bet for profit in that time and place.

It’s the same here, the country will collapse because he isn’t just a bad leader, he is a collection of toxic qualities that almost guarantee bad organizational outcomes even given very positive starting conditions.

Sure, but if Iowa can just reject a Supreme Court ruling without consequence then so can any state for any reason on any subject. Then the court has no power anymore.

There isn’t really a mechanism for the court to take up a case without an actual case. Of course, it’s only a matter of time before Liberty or some other conservative outlet gins up a manufactured victim of gay marriage to bring before the court since this court has established that standing can be purely fictional (as long as it’s for conservative causes) and precedent doesn’t matter.

“See, nobody wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, it’s just not popular” - some dipshit in a month or two.

I mean, ok. Pride isn’t exclusionary. Most gay people have straight parents, siblings, friends and so on. If you feel the need to celebrate being straight, that’s cool. If you think you’re a victim because you are straight then I might suggest some therapy.

Absolute favorite is Outer Wilds. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can’t experience it again. A true masterpiece of a game.

After that, probably Noita for sheer insanity. Deeply unfair, but getting a god-run going is that much sweeter. It took me ~100 hours to beat it the first time, now I can consistently win if I try but I’m addicted to doing stupid things to see what happens.

Completely predictable. Empty shelves will be Biden too. Massive inflation? Also Biden. Unemployment, interest rates, everything Biden. He has no other play except to blame someone else so that is what he’ll do.

At one of my prior positions they outsourced all the junior engineers to this firm that only had windows desktop support experience.

Actual escalation I got:

contractor: I am trying to remove this file that is filling the drive but it won’t let me

me: show me what you are doing.

contractor (screenshot): # rm -f /dev/hdc

another one did rm -rf /var to clear a stuck log file, which at least did solve the problem he was having.

After that I sent out an email stating that I would not help anyone who used he rm command unless they consulted with a senior first. I was later reprimanded for saying I wouldn’t help people.

The article specifies that Montana and Texas already do this, so it’s unlikely to cause much of a stir.

if your router is able to you can set up ACLs to allow the TV access to your network but not the internet.

After 100% what’s even the point? Margins on imported goods are already tight, after you price imports out of the market you’re just increasing the number in a meaningless way.

that is what i was thinking, you grill it, melt the cheese and sautee the onion a bit and it would be fantastic. same ingredients, not much work.

Trumps entire economic “plan” was to levy massive sweeping tariffs. He wouldnt shut up about it during the campaign, Harris kept warning that he was really going to do it, Trump kept insisting he was going to do it when surrogates attempted to soften his stance and now he is actually doing it. How stupid do you have to be to think he wasnt going to do the key part of his agenda?

And in return, after the war the Nazi leadership were given nice retirements at the end of a rope.

If only these Republicans “speaking out” against Trump decimating the economy were members of some kind of political body with the power to stop this executive overreach…

We’ll see what the definition of term limit is

It’s right there in the amendment:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Donald Trump was elected twice. He is ineligible to be elected again.

Ok, so I think the Democrat leaders are being spineless cowards as usual, but if I were trying to think of the strategy they are attempting here, I would say they are worried that Trump will blame the recession he is causing on the government shutdown and they don’t have confidence in their counter-messaging.

Fortunately my dad is a retired cybersecurity architect so they live as modern-day Luddites.

He hates it because Biden is supposed to be the worst president in the history of ever and Biden signed the CHIPS act so therefore it must be bad because Biden is bad. It’s not more complicated than that.
