I do wonder if we're going to see some websites popping up that kind of hit the reset button on social media and go back to smaller communities of folks with something in common.

I kind of miss the days of actually having online conversations with folks you know are real people (not bots), that aren't trying to be an influencer, or get famous, or some how many money off your interactions.

I tweaked. Many (most?) don't.

You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.

Do you know why most people don't get those?

~~Insurance won't cover them.~~ Many insurance providers won't cover them.

Maybe start there? Although I'm guessing he has no buddies who would make money from routine blood tests.

So I guess GPS jamming, Internet cable cutting, spreading misinformation, meddling with elections, Olympic sabotage, gas pipeline sabotage, cyberattacks, etc. etc. don't count?

Anybody else feel like this might be Russia again?

Sanctions severely hamper individuals' abilities to carry out even routine financial transactions as any banks with ties to the United States, or that conduct transactions in dollars, are expected to have to comply with the restrictions.

Making this move could seem to be a blow against the US banking system, once again undermining our influence in the world.

You know, you have to wonder how different the war might be if Ukraine was allowed to properly defend itself from the beginning.

100%

Now if this guy was some kind of prodigy, that would explain the face. But the stories I've seen paint him as your typical dipshit, 20-something MAGAt.

Minus that, there's a level of entitlement oozing from his face that screams "I think I'm somebody important because my dad/uncle/mom/lover thinks I am."

I have one very simple question:

Who … are … his … parents?

Based on his LinkedIn, and what appeared in the story, I’m not sure what sets him apart from thousands of other wannabe MAGA assholes.

Which triggers my spideysense. Well that and the arrogant fucking faces he’s putting out into the interwebs like he’s Don Juan De La Nooch.

My guess is he’s probably a nepo-baby and his folks are either influential or made a ‘donation’ to get him appointed.

To quote Ocean’s Eleven:

“Never heard of him.” “That’s why I don’t doubt it.”

I just saw that making the rounds today as well. Felt like one of those "we know this won't be accepted so we'll hope we don't get caught until it doesn't matter" moments.

These artists should give a free concert in DC on Trump's birthday, starting when the parade does.

New Orleans has precogs?!?!

 

A majority of Americans say President Trump is a "dangerous dictator" who poses a threat to democracy and believe he's overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump's 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.
