It’s a fantastic article. Detailed and well researched . It’s just that the audience is a toddler who has stuck his hand in his nappy and is smearing something on the wall. Save this for when there is a competent president again.

Under Trump, Washington cannot understand relationships with Allies. Good luck with that.

Shoes on with pinstripe slacks. Within the letter of the law if not the spirit.

I baked this and it was AMAZING. The whole family loved it. The only deviation was a lamb leg with a bone, we couldn’t find one without.

This would be an improvement. For one thing, the bear is unlikely to be able to use Signal.

Everything is problematic. It’s like saying everything has a risk of death. The important question is _how_ problematic have they been? What Trunk has done is far, far, far more problematic than anything that came out of DEI.

Never. NEVER I say! The worst think about Siri, Alexa and Google home is that when you tell them to die a fire, they fail to comply.

I don’t buy this. In France much of the resistance was communist. I think that Europe was in the balance and the Marshall plan genuinely shifted this balance.

And the measurements in inches? Again, asking for a friend.

Has anyone complained about the temperature being in Fahrenheit? Asking for a friend.

It’s a lot more than 500,000. From 2024 it’s clear that half of American voters are very stupid.

He needs a snappy name. I suggest: "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere". I feel like I've heard it before somewhere though.

As a non-American, direct democracy has been a disaster all round. Why would you elect law enforcement (eg sheriffs)? Why would you elect DAs? These are not political roles and should not be politicised.

Look, I'll admit to some annoyance when I created a repo and found that it had named the primary branch main. It generates more work and the old name had familiarity. However it's a change in the scale of needing to install a new library because the old one is no longer supported. Not much.

Um, really? It’s more like someone said, I’d prefer if you used the cream napkins rather than the white ones. Calling it yanking the tablecloth is hyperbole. Maybe get a sense of proportion?

Dude, I work in software also. Nobody is forcing you to name your primary branch main rather than master. Also there are pretty clear negative connotations of the word master. It’s not much to ask. Maybe you shouldn’t be such a snowflake.

I think it’s less disturbing that they don’t ask you to explain why is America suddenly crazy.

I’ve just finished reading the excellent book “Ordinary Men”. It tells the story of how a group of working class, middle aged policemen from Hamburg were sent to Poland to round up and shoot Jews. Ordinary men doing something appalling. Fascism is not exceptional.

The believe that removing all the regulation and guardrails makes the world a better place. These people are called libertarians in America, but they are better described by their real name: Anarchists.

Oops typo. 2 weeks before or after the invasion? I feel my joke lacks punch with the typo.

Couldn't find a picture of Fahrenheit 451 to put in the guys hand? Or was that to obscure a reference for most Americans?

Isn't the right based on a longing for a return to an imaginary past? An idealised view of 1950s America?

This, exactly this. As a Christian, I’m just shocked that Christians backing Trump don’t recognise him that separation of church and state protects the church from the corrupting influence of the state.

I feel this was a missed opportunity, let me help. “Hitler found a way to run Germany without elections. Might Trump follow his example?”

While true, this doesn't specify the timescale. That is over the long term the market is all of these things, over the short term, it is not.

Isn't lying the primary qualification for the Trump administration?

I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm also not really online and I'd describe myself as a swinging voter. I'm just pointing out that these people do not believed the same things I believe. They worship capitalism and preach hate. They are badly misled.

Australian Christian and evangelical here. American evangelicalism is something totally different and a total bastardisation of evangelicalism. American evangelicalism is an unholy (in the most accurate sense) fusing of pro-gun, libertarian and rampant capitalism cultures. It's a cultural label.

They say that the fish rots from the head down. I suspect that Trump’s selection criteria “looks good on TV” for cabinet members might have been flawed.
comment in response to

You know who hasn't? Every other security focussed cabinet member since the beginning of time. Literally all of them were more competant.

Sounds like a better selection policy than the Trump administration used.

If true, this is dumb. Crypto is a Ponzi scheme. It has no underlying value. If true this explains quite well why Trump was elected.

Cheer up. Eventually they get old enough to abandon you. At this point you feel nostalgia. As a parent of teenagers, I pine for their younger years.

I once heard America described as a Labrador in a shop with delicate items, every time it wags its tail it breaks something. This is more like a Labrador on stimulants and hallucinogens. It won’t be good for either the shop or the Labrador.

There is a belief, shared across the _US population_, that the world revolves around the US. The view that the US 'gives' or 'acts' more is a flow on from this view.

Hi, that’s you. In case you’re not aware you are the leader of of half of one of the houses of congress. So, maybe look in a mirror?

Are you a bit slow? How have the past, oh 10+ years of behaviour of the Republicans shown that they would be bipartisan? Maybe you could employ a toddler to help you understand.

I support this, but I’m skeptical it will happen. Consider John Yoo for example.
