Are Trump coin purchases able to be tracked? For any other admin in the past century, either party, this pardon is 0%, at least for a decade or so at a minimum but this one, this is easy, 1-in-5 I'm giving this this guy legit gets a pardon in the next 24 months. The President of the United States built himself a bribery system and we're just A-OK with that. Unreal.

And that fucknut Witkoff is Trump's partner in it and is also the guy we have negotiating with Putin while he also represents a number of Russian interests? In a not so different world this alone is impeachable and it's just one of many.

How do you square up that you support the party that has been pushing this number higher and higher and pretty much runs on that idea? It wasn't always this way and it doesn't have to be, we've been making that choice, we made it again in 2024. It's not headed in a positive direction either.

Yeah, probably.

Yeah I guess when you look at it that way then yeah it's got as much teeth as the governor is willing to give him. These are state governments so they have a lot more tools and leverage than a University does. Let's not forget the law firms too, god it's been a long year.

The usual suspects, Newsom, Pritzker, Hochul will ignore and Desantis and others will play along.

Then again he's already threatening to strip Federal funds from blood-red Indiana because of the voted down redistricting so maybe he's up for making even more enemies.

Not more than in other parts of the world. Probably less. And yes, I actually know that. For example, the fabled "anonymous Swiss bank accounts" have been history for a long time.

And not in a good way. Looks like a rather large number of people seriously do not know what they are doing.

It's over.

When all compete but the products are still crap. Market failure does not get more spectacular than this.

Indeed. It still means "unusable for anything requiring accuracy". Which is quite a few things. Well, I guess this will not deliver the business model that finally turns a profit either. If that ever happens.

And you will never be able to. That would require a scaling up that is not feasible. Or an entirely different technology.

Indeed. Well, at least the crash will be spectacular. I am hoping for no more AI hypes for a long, long time.

You say the words, but you do not mean them.

For Republican voters to piss away the Constitution and states' rights. Just one fat orange turd who said nasty things and got away with it and they would burn everything in the country down.

It really shows a complete lack of any principles on the part of Republican voters. That's the problem with the right wing they have a hierarchy not a belief system let alone principles.

Microsoft could be making a killing on ex-VMware customers if they would just improve their management tools on Hyper-V. That keeps a lot of enterprise customers away. MS's management software for VM's is barebones compared to what VMware offers. But Broadcom seems determined to dare their customers to leave. They're pretty arrogant because they're confident most of their customers will pay the bigger bill instead of jumping to a far-less feature-rich solution.

A state with an existing law will get sued or will sue the Feds to override this and I think that's fair, my gut tells me without legislation an EO is pretty toothless here.

Of course if Trump was a competent President or cared about the job that's what he'd be doing but alas, he gets to have another signing ceremony where an aide has to explain to our definitely not demented leader what he is signing like he's seeing it for the first time.
