You could always tell a poseur because they used RHEL alpha, AKA Fedora.

"The Democrats have always let the New York Times dictate their direction"

And the NYT has always coddled Nazis, AT BEST, which is to say when it hasn't been openly praising them. They have been kind of amazingly consistent in their support of fascism. Even Bezos' WaPo is better at opposing it! Not that it's good at it obviously.

It. Never. Was.

It was founded on only allowing landed white males to vote.

Multiple studies show that it has always been oligarchic.

Stop deluding yourself.

"And For all his faults and there are many he is at least not a fascist."

Newsom wants to force medicate the homeless and celebrated when the supremes declared it was OK to destroy their shelters. He sleeps on a big bed stuffed with Getty money. Of course he's a fascist. He's just a nicer looking and sounding one than Cheeto Benito.

" Congress could STOP all of this right now if Johnson weren't such a pussy and would tell Trump that Congress gets to set any tariffs, and it would need to be voted on for it to happen."

Johnson is a death cultist, he wants to immanentize the eschaton as it were, Trump is perfect to him because he is increasing the chance of the end times.

We're going to have a revolution, get conquered because we become weak from infighting, or both.

Sure, I can agree with that to a degree, but politicking matters. The winner will also be someone with sufficient support.

"You can identify the condescending assholes that already know that because they use terms like "handegg" to feign ignorance"

You're awfully butthurt about a game.

"the Eppstein files, which is a dumb political thing nobody gives a crap about anyway,"

Could I be out of touch? No, it's everyone else that is wrong.

There are shitloads of conservatives who made "pedos should die" their primary political identity because they were told that Democrats were pedos. They are having a hard time now.

Except for you. You're pro-pedo.

I read a ton of comments defending him before I got down to your comment, so no.

The American president has ties to an enemy state military/intelligence. That is from where he used to receive all of his funding. And you call this micro management? People's feelings about Trump are relevant here. He has no right to speak about this. Just because you hate America, doesn't mean he has the right to destroy it.

They're transporting ICE agents dressed like Proud Boys in literally the exact same kind of Penske rental truck that the Proud Boys dressed like ICE agents were being transported in, now.

You mean toilet research networks?

For once I got in one which word was triggering the lame filter, it was r e eye c h. Once again, the owners of Slashdot are willfully providing aid and comfort to literal Nazis of the past, no doubt in support of the Nazis in the white house. These B!zX clowns are like Elon Musk except without any success or cachet.

Even by your logic, as long as we are following Trump, we do treat our closest allies like dirt. But more importantly, your logic is incomplete. A real government would have meaningful checks and balances to prevent a new shitty leader from fucking everything up. Ours clearly doesn't, so clearly nobody can trust deals made with us. Of course this was always obvious, for example we have broken literally every treaty we made with the Native Americans we went on to commit genocide against. Nobody should ever have trusted us.

This point really came home in WWII when we delayed entering the war and did a bunch of war profiteering by selling supplies to both sides. We provided critical war materials to the Third Re!ch including metals and fuel. Without us they would have gone nowhere, literally.

What part of what Intel "accomplished" while it was receiving those incentives was yielding good results? They failed at a whole-ass process under those incentives, and laid the foundation for another whole-ass process which is failing right now.

Why is profit not sufficient incentive?
