Is there any sort of legal or social contract here that the state(s) could argue is being violated, as grounds to draw up a resolution of secession? Would such a threat do any good? Maybe this isn't the 'hill to die on' but... what will be, if anything? Am I out of question marks? :p

I'm not American so I don't know if this even makes sense, but at what point will states have to take things to another level in their relationship with the Federal government?

Isn't this basically a declaration of war? Shots don't even need to be fired; if this is their official intention, Greenland must prepare for invasion. What insanity.

So will local and state police now do their jobs and arrest ICE agents flaunting their state's laws? At some point they need to choose sides.

Then again, what if the Trump admin passes a Federal law stating ICE agents must explicitly wear masks? What then?

This is really wholesome, good on that other dev!

I recently heard a saying which I'm still trying to take to heart and apply to my own troubles working on creative pursuits: "Comparison is the thief of joy".

We're all so connected and online these days, it's all too easy to see the work of others, and either feel "it has all been done before, what's the point?", or "this other person is so good I'll never reach their level".

Sadly, yes... otherwise the Orange One would be out.

I did not know those facts, thank you. Whatever other flaws Paul Martin may have had, that took some personal conviction which I respect. And very astute of him to head off future challenges in that way.

Banana up the tailpipe and some sugar in the gas would still mess it up... or "oops I filled it with Diesel, my bad". Unless it's an EV :P

Good, so get on with it! No more talk, no more grace periods, she intentionally failed to comply with the Epstein file release legislation. No more waiting, talking, waffling. Start impeaching NOW, as in TODAY.

Anti-topic Billionaires Have Always Been Able to Control What People in General See.

Let's just stop caring what celebrities think, please. Unless they have education in science, economics, international relations, or other relevant areas they are even less qualified than random people on the street, as they are rich and likely out of touch with reality in multiple ways.

For those wondering about this comment, it has a reasonable basis, see this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbJ4ilDvGyc&pp=ygUZVHJ1bXAncyBiYWxscm9vbSBpcyBhIGxpZQ%3D%3D

We don't need/want a huge TV, so we just use a monitor with an external speaker and dedicated media box.

Smart TVs these days are just too invasive to even consider in my home.

There would need to be an ongoing fund set up, somehow, not beholden to Google or other big players.

I'd be willing to pay a few bucks a year, for the rest of my life, if I knew it would pay devs who maintained a user-friendly browser; surely there must be enough of us out there?

Let's just start a campaign to donate funds to the core developers, on the condition they resign immediately and move to the LibreWolf project.

Get the people who really hold the reigns (the knowledge of how the code works!) and give them the power and an escape route to make user-friendly software.

Mandatory overtime? The games industry is slavery, unionize NOW for fuck's sake.

The Ballroom is a cover

She says that the original architect and contractors who do ballroom-type projects were quietly replaced after the initial announcement by ones who have a long history of designing military datacenters, far underground, for governments such as the US and Israel. Also no contractors for things like chandeliers, gold-trim etc. are on the project, which seems strange if the main point is the ballroom. The budget quoted is almost, dollar-for-dollar, the same amount as for a recent underground datacenter project recently completed elsewehere in the US.

As well, the East Wing was blocking access to add onto a pre-existing underground bunker complex beneath the West Wing, so demolishing it would allow for additions to that...

Oh, and some emergency orders for huge modifications to the DC water supply in order to increase availability to the WH property. Data centers need lots and lots of water.

Did you hear? The Ballroom Is A Lie

My bet's on airstrikes on Venezuela -- they already announced a full sea blockade ...
