Happy birthday, Apple!

The only question any Republican should be asked today is "like President Trump, are you also glad Robert Mueller is dead?"

I bet Pence’s only regret is that he mistakenly thought that Trump was self-destructing and thus no longer was the path to a Pence presidency. Vance is not going to make that mistake. He’s now the most likely next POTUS (Rubio lacks generations of ancestors buried in an Ohio cemetery).

The results are in.

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

There’s still time to vote. $AAPL

It’s a dark day in a sea of dark days for America.

By design! Trump is in office to solve the problems of autocrats. Wrecking America so thoroughly it will take generations to recover and clearing way for dedollarization is part of this.

Crazy that Spelling Bee doesn’t have 32-bit support

Opinion | Trump Is Telling Us What He Would Do. Believe Him. (Published 2024) The former president’s most disturbing statements are not bluster. They are a road map to what he will do if elected again.

You didn’t need to be very smart to figure it out. At least not smarter than The New York Times Editorial Board:

And where is that career headed now? Unlikely that he’ll ever get a bigger job. He doesn’t seem to be abnormally into self-enrichment. So what was the point?

An 89-year-old detainee? How is that justified?

A) Did NBC News ask him “Why does Putin disrespect you”?

To go after a family for no other reason than that their daughter sparked sympathy is appalling. Absolutely appalling. Beyond cruelty into outright sadism.

Truly abhorrent and a mockery of the rule of law that Emil Bove is a federal judge.

Scared of what, you ask?

You don’t have to put the military at every polling site to suppress votes.

You don’t even have to put the military at any polling sites to suppress votes.

All you have to do is roll a bunch of tanks into Atlanta or Detroit or wherever a few days before an election and see what happens

USSR strived for excellence in science, but subjected that—like all else—to constraints of Soviet dogma and practices (sorta works when aiming for Olympic gold, not Nobels). Present-day USA not aiming for any sci/tech achievements. Seeking to become the worst kind of petrocracy.

Good to know.
