2 wrongs don't make a right. We shouldn't have to tell you that. Read some critical thinking books before opening your ignorant arrogant mouth.

The mansion thing is likely either fake news or exaggerated. There is no paper-work tracing back to any mansions. Your gut feelings don't count.

All large org's have a roughly 15% rate of bad apples, including your fav orgs. If you claim their rate is higher, show the details and math. Otherwise, you look like a bigot to those educated in logic, statistics, and evidence.

Repent and do better.

The Tinted One would probably threaten to send cruise missiles after them to look "strong on law enforcement". Whether he would or not is hard to know with him. In the past, his staff often either talked him out of dodgy ideas, or found a way to distract him so that he forgot about it. However, in his second term, he has threatened to put in more loyalists, which we usually call "yesmen" (or "yespeople").

I suspect they'd talk him down into accepting "assassins" to whack the hackers instead. The problem is that such invites retaliation. Putin would crank up his window-fall-and-ricin campaign, now that he'd look justified, since "US does it also". But long-term consequences are not The Tinted One's forte, so he may dismiss the risk of retaliation.

But it would be satisfying in the short term see scammers and spammers get knocked around. The reptilian parts of our brains love that shit, and that's the parts The Tinted One is an expert at titillating.

The [cops] seized the site and replaced information on it with their own press release...to troll and warn the hackers that the authorities were on to them.

Bad idea! Many of those type enjoy the challenge. "You think your bacon servers are safe? We'll make you squeal, little piggies!..."

Best to stay stealth.

Beat me to Casablanca ref! You hurt my web ego.

Anyhow, this reminds me of the Twitter/X dispute over bot rate when Musk was purchasing it. Facebook and Reddit probably are also bot-infested. In any future sale, they hopefully remember to put in a disclaimer that "the percentage of legitimate human accounts is unknown. Caveat Emptor". (It's emptor of humans :-)

My God, it's full of bots!

is one person being able to provide for a family with one job and one paycheck, like back in the 1960's.

Is not that progressives broke the USA, it's that overseas competition made factory jobs pay much less. US workers have to move up the "skills ladder" to be competitive in the world. With enough education or training, yes, one person CAN support a house, 2 kids, and a car still.

Here's the poop-map, FoxBoy.

...Sing it!

Because Tucker J. Hannity says so.

We already sanctioned Russian export of belly-button lint and used paper-clips, flat out of options.

HorseshitGTP

Only works if lots of whiskey used for fuel. I think you got into some.

Finding unexpected problems is just part of testing, both software and hardware. Russia kept tuning existing Soyuz design and got prices and down and reliability up. US capitalism is addicted to throw-out-and-start-over because investors don't get excited by incremental improvements; they pay for buzz.

It would have been cheaper to send 2 time-tested Apollo missions to have a crew of 5 than reinventing one big Orion. And 2nd would be an emergency backup: crowded but survivable.

According to The Tinted One, windmills cause cancer, insomnia inducing hums, kill whales, reduce real-estate values*, and fly apart under heavy winds with the blades slicing shit up.

Some troll(s) posted bunches of fake videos showing windmills exploding under heavy wind, killing horses etc. The gullible fall for it because it fits their preconceived notions.

* Okay, maybe he has point there, but that's ALL he actually cares about because it affects him him and him.

No, because MAGAs are the conspiracy/Q types, who will gravitate toward RFK.
