Accuser makes it sound like he was not found guilty of rape. If Trump is not impeached the US will be rightly viewed as an autocratic banana republic.

That has a somebody’s else’s problem field around it. I can’t see it.

The base budget for the Pentagon in 2015 was almost a trillion dollars less than what is being asked for here. Two years of this could fund the forgiveness of all student loans, the expansion of Medicare to include dental and vision and the lowering of the age of Medicare eligibility to 60.

Primarily the ones there. Hegseth thinks he is starting a crusade to bring about Armageddon.

The US is launching all the missiles and bombs at them. How do you escalate that? Nukes?

Agreed. I think it has gotten worse over time. Operating systems for consumer PCs are a mature market and they don’t really have commercial rivals. It’s Mac, Windows, or Linux and most people never really consider Linux. So, they use Windows to push their other products and not so much as a product in itself.

How can anyone upgrade to a new PC when there is no Ram or hard disks available? This is a crazy time to try to push that.

So, they built a bridge and paid for the whole thing? And we are mad about that? I’m not sure I understand.

On the bright side, he’s not in the US screwing things up for the moment.

Charge higher rates for crypto and AI. No one should be hot or cold so some asshole can make more money.

I have 4 teenagers. I cook 2 boxes every time. There are no leftovers.

If one doesn’t understand something, there has never been a time when there were more readily available resources to explain it. If you don’t have time or want to put the effort in to understand it, it is perfectly reasonable to just accept the consensus opinion of people who are experts in that subject. We all have to do that to some extent. The world is too complex to understand everything. Still, this is just incoherent. Not even wrong.
