Trump probably imagines he’s being smart by pretending to be against Putin while actually continuing to serve him. He’ll think no one could see through that.

Well, what an asshole. The candidate dodged a bullet.

I guess that’s part of the reason they’re exploring coatings - something to slow down the degradation during regular usage.

Ah but imagine the eager faces of Logitech’s execs when they realize they could make their mice dissolve under your fingers and offer a subscription for replacements.

Yeah, the Trump family has really gone downhill.

I think it may be an autocorrect issue. On my phone I get “white house” when I type “whore house”. Which in itself is a bit amusing.

Thanks to Musk and Trump, they’re now unemployed heroes.

It took longer for them to get to this point than I expected.

It’s so reminiscent of Jews being rounded up by the Gestapo. They set it up to suggest you have a chance if you comply, but it’s a trick and you don’t have a chance. The cruelty of the trick is part of the enjoyment for sadistic fascists.

Yes, the language they’re using suggests that there will be due process according to the law. This is not the case. They’re bypassing the law entirely to kidnap and disappear people.

The USA has a far right party and a center-right party. What exactly does this man consider “the middle”?

Given China’s ambitions to take over Taiwan, is making a supply chain dependent on Taiwan really “de-risking” it? In semiconductors we have seen the risk from Chinese aggression motivating the spread of chip fabs to other countries apart from Taiwan.

Hitler’s cabinet was full of these kinds of people too, and he still managed to do a lot of damage. It’s not much of a protection.

“I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!” Trump wrote early Wednesday morning.

Trump is incredibly easily influenced. He always obeys the last persuasive person he talked with, unless he got into an outright argument with them.

That article is reporting a survey though, which showed 24% of adults supported removing these broadcasters’ funding. The “one quarter” is not about how people voted, it’s about this survey. There’s are links at the end of the article to more information about the survey and its methodology.

ICE agents often seem to wear masks. Could it be because they’re cowards?

I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg’s less glamorous knockoff, people didn’t comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then Digg nuked itself and reddit was forever changed.

Lol - that is one melancholy-looking ship face!

Like, I wonder why trump thought all these billion dollars global corporations kept bending the knee to China in the first place…

I don’t expect his thinking got as far as that question.
