We also saw when so many overzealous "law enforcement" people were sent to the likes of DC, Minneapolis, etc. They go in looking for trouble and if they don't find it, they agitate enough to "find" trouble. There is a delicate balance between the right amount and the right type of law enforcement. As with everyone else, they should not have any kind of blanket immunity, we have witnessed so many tragic outcomes due to this policy.

I knew these "good" guys would be totally incompetent. I mean, they literally fired most of our counter-intelligence most knowledgeable people. What we have left are mostly just the "yes" men that don't really know what they are doing. Their mentors were all fired either due to DOGE or their perceived DEI hires. They have completely hobbled our intelligence. They even specifically removed all the Russian counter-intelligence we used to have. So this is not unexpected, I would expect quite a bit of bad news to come in the future because of this.

I would hope they have practices in place to safeguard against actual discrimination, which this admin is totally for as long as only white/right people get the jobs. Which is/was the only reason DEI existed in the first place. Cronyism is why we have so much incompetence in this country, just because your parent/grandparent was smart or business savvy doesn't mean their demon seed is too.

They do, the people on the right are the ones advocating for the police state

I think we really need to deport the freeloading billionaires, they are the ones sucking us dry and forcing that crap on all of us. But we are stupid and keep giving them more and more power, in the remote chance we might be one someday.

It wasn't the "we" that is causing the problem. The issue is every billionaire out there wants their own AI, so they are willing to outspend every other billionaire in building out their data centers and training their own LLMs. In the end, we will end up with a very small handful of successful ones and the rest, just wasted billions of dollars and eWaste because their egos told them they are smarter than the rest of the billionaires and they are the only ones capable of succeeding.

Donâ(TM)t worry, they are working very hard to pollute the crap out of your free water, and it just so happens they have all this nice expensive clean water to sell youâ¦

I really hope someone smarter (not that it is that hard with these guys) ensures that there are adequate backups of everything these clowns are purging. These actions are very dangerous and will bite us in the ass one day.

Based on the article you leaked, he was aggressive in plugging the leaks inside the government. He didn't appear to arrest journalists and seize their devices for an unlawful search. I have no issue with any president attempting to stop their government from leaking classified information, including our current one. I do have a huge issue with the search and seizure of journalists for the sole reason of finding their confidential leak. We are way beyond becoming the next North Korea or Hungary, this is not OK.

Yup, they are all owned by MAGAs now, so there is no need for real journalism. Just reprint what they tell you... Sadly independent journalism is currently the only way real news is going to be spread. There are so many low quality independent outlets, you really need to find and filter the crap ones out.

Perhaps they would be better liked if they didnâ(TM)t create a system in which scammers can ruin your credit rating and the creator of that same system does nothing to actually helpâ¦

They already have too much power. Who knew a damn car company would someday get all your social security dataâ¦

Nope, it IS UNIX with a nice desktop. Linux is not UNIX, close but different.

Americans would watch more new tv shows if there were more new tv shows to actually watch. The vast majority of the tv shows are all unscripted reality TV or an offshoot of an already successful cop show. The broadcasters have ceded the good shows w/plots to the streamers because nobody wants to take the chance on a new un-tested tv show. My guess is they will all fade away into the background and become shells of what they used to be. It's sad, but the reality is they did it to themselves. They fought so hard to prevent things like DVRs for so long fought with so many cable companies to demand more money even though they were putting out crap programing themselves. They used to be able to demand the high prices, but with more and more sports going to streamers they will soon have no leverage to demand such high prices.

Because scientists spend tens or hundreds of thousands for their education, just so they can pull one over on the MAGA crowd? That sure sounds like what they are all colluding to do... I know the GOP hate science because it goes against everything their cult leader tells them, but attacking real peer reviewed science with the nonsense pseudo-science he loves is going to REALLY hurt this country in the long run. We have gotten dumber than most of our peers ever since the GOP has started attacking education about 40 years ago. We used to be world leaders in a lot of things, now it is just bravado and corruption.
