it is what you want to say, not me obviously, stop lying.

There are literally millions of people doing nothing today, what you are advocating here has already happened, why aren't you happy anyway, is it because it's never enough? AFAIC everyone who can work should be taking care of himself/herself, government must not steal from one to subsidize another, especially in the system basically designed for complete corruption (and it is designed for complete corruption).

It is up to everyone individually to survive on this planet, if there are too many people unable to survive then it's a self correcting issue - they will not survive.

We should also consider the non-zero chance that he was shot by someone not for being too far to the right but rather for not being far enough to the right. Remember there are a lot of MAGA folks who are tripping over each other to see who can be the most extreme; years ago the GOP passed a point where they would have thrown out Reagan for being too far left and now the MAGA party is even further yet to the right.

drone batteries have to be heated otherwise drones may not even take off, Ukrainian soldiers in the field use all sorts of ways to keep the batteries warm, for example chemical hand warmers are used for this.

There is a long list of times during this - and the previous - Trump Administration when it seemed clear that would happen. We thought they finally got to the point where they wouldn't be able to stand each other and they would annihilate their own. Never before did it happen; indeed they only rallied harder each time and came out stronger.

Now they have a new martyr. Any time anyone doesn't toe the MAGA line they will be accused of leading towards "another Charlie Kirk". In fact they could have hardly asked for a better event, as they can use it to also brush any other gun violence crime under the rug as well.

Say goodbye to democracy. Charlie Kirk managed to do exactly what he wanted - he killed it. He wasn't wise enough to realize it would take his own blood to take it down, but it is dead and buried now. The new Single Party State rises up now, and by the end of next month it will be illegal to be a democrat.

Right now is a good time to invest in your exit strategy if you don't align yourself 110% with the MAGA party.

Where did I encourage violence? You must have me mistaken with someone else. I have multiple times very plainly advocated against violence in all forms. I don't approve killing anyone by anyone else. Not by or for politics, not by or for the state. Murder is wrong, period.

In the 1960s the assassinations were of people who wanted to improve our country and bring about progress. This decade we're seeing assassinations of people of all stripes. There is no rhyme or reason to the violence any more. The only difference is that one party advocates exclusively for "thoughts and prayers" after any killing, because they are afraid their owners will drive them out of their cushy jobs if they ever propose any kind of legislative reform.

I didn't say anyone would make a new amendment. I said that the MAGA party would ignore the 22nd Amendment, and that the SCOTUS would not stop them from doing so. That's a big difference. Indeed a constitutional amendment is only passed by congress; the SCOTUS cannot make one. Up until now, the POTUS has been expected to follow the constitution, but that is no longer the case. Nobody is willing to apply any laws to Trump.

Again, nobody is looking to pass a new amendment, nor are they looking to repeal one on the books. They have license to simply ignore the constitution, and they will do exactly that. The constitution is no longer worth the paper it was written on.

virtualbox is good but irrelevant to this conversation as it's not used in the enterprise so vmware doesn't care about it.

Is it harmless? That's an opinion. Not one I share either.

Is the change an overreaction? That's also an opinion. My answer is, it is no more an "over reaction" than people clammoring for the change in the first place is .

Why is it NOT an overreaction when a feather needs to be changed because someone somewhere was offended, and removing it offends someone else? Who's Offense Matters MORE? Is it offensive or is it honoring? That is the real question and who gets to decide?

And Who gets to decide who decides? Thats the real problem.

what a non-issue. USA buys nuclear fuel from Russia, supporting the Russian side of the war, and then has the gall to tell poorer countries they are bad for buying Russisn fossil fuel. USA also still buys other Russian goods.

Hypocrisy, why would any sane country appease any US demands about trade with Ruusia? There is a whole world to develop alternative business in and more than half the human race lives in Asia.

Indeed strangely enough by killing a liar the MAGA party likely killed truth itself . This just gives them more momentum for squashing dissent and labeling those they don't agree with as undesirable and "UnAmerican". They never let an opportunity like this go by without making political hay from it.

I'm not praising him or his hateful ignorant rhetoric. I'm merely forecasting what comes next.

The MAGA party is hard at work canonizing him. They will absolutely make political hay from this for some time to come. We will see a call to arms - both physical and metaphorical - as the MAGA party rallies ever harder around Saint Donald. This will become a push for more persecution of "the left" as MAGA folks claim they are themselves being hunted. This will also become a push to discard the 22nd amendment - which the SCOTUS will not prevent - to keep Donald as god-king for all eternity.

Very convenient that this came up for the MAGA party while they were desperately trying to find a way to distract America from the Epstein files. Notice how far down in the news feeds anything relating to that has fallen since. The front page of CNN no longer mentions Epstein at all; MSNBC barely mentions it in referencing a congressman asking for the files to be released and NPR buries it far down discussing the UK firing an ambassador to the US over Epstein ties.

In other words, mission accomplished for the MAGA party. The longer the manhunt continues for the shooter the longer we're distracted from matters of real consequence and the stronger the MAGA party gets against the rest of America.

Go ahead, mod me down. I know this is a little off topic but it warrants being said. Matters of climate change will soon be forbidden discussion topics in the MAGA world.

He's already getting a complimentary ride on Air Force Two. I'm trying to think of other non-politicians who were not war heroes whose corpses got Presidential or VP escorts and not thinking of any...

Except each time the rage machine gets louder and more profane. At some point if it doesn't come back down to earth we're going to have a real problem. Time to get more supplies for the bug-out bags.

You're probably right on that. However there are plenty in Trump's orbit who would be willing to enable something like this to happen to draw their base away from the Epstein saga. I probably gave him way too much credit to suggest he could have dreamed this up on his own. He wasn't even of above-average intelligence when he hosted The Apprentice, and he's shown just how little one can learn in 4 years when they really try hard.

I don't support murder, regardless of how awful the murdered person is. Violence doesn't end violence, it only triggers more violence. I will say though that the current POTUS is not one to follow any laws at all any more, so I can't help but wonder if he's connected to this murder himself - it is certainly drawing attention away from the Epstein saga.
