Once Biden stepped aside and endorsed Harris, Trump's entire campaign strategy was upended, making him the oldest candidate on the campaign trail and exposing faults in his logic.
Wtf, "exposing faults in his logic"? Why do the media continue to do everything they can to portray Trump as a reasonable man making logical plans for how best to govern?
“I said this once and I’m saying it again; A weak minded, muddle headed negro, ALWAYS thinks he and “his people” are victims.”
“I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!”

In 2021, he referred to transgender and homosexual people as “filth”. He has also said people who are gay are equivalent to “what the cows leave behind” as well as “maggots” and “flies”.
What on Earth is wrong with this man? He needs some heavy-duty therapy. But also, how the hell does someone like this get elected to public office?
According to these conservative estimates, today we are beyond 200.000 dead.
From a population of 2 million. Israel has killed 10% of the population and shows no sign of slowing down. When Israel or its allies claim this is about self-defense that is a lie. This is about extermination.
I was on a Boeing plane the other day that was delayed while we watched a guy with a wrench and a rag trying to stop fuel leaking out of the wing. It wasn't hugely reassuring.
Oh right, sorry, I missed that. Makes sense now - thanks!
She has proven herself to be craven and corrupt enough, willing to serve Trump instead of the USA. I imagine she's a leading candidate.
You're missing a verb but you're probably right.
Edit: My bad, I misread.
This is an American actively serving the country.
This is not someone killed in battle:
Donald Trump raged when he learned the funeral bill for Vanessa Guillén—the U.S. soldier who was sexually harassed and horrifically murdered by a male soldier at Fort Hood in 2020—cost $60,000, a bombshell report revealed Tuesday.
Somehow knowing the circumstances of her death makes Trump's awful remark even nastier. Especially since he is a rapist.
Guillén, a 20-year-old American of Mexican ancestry from Houston, was buried in her hometown on Aug. 15, 2020. Months later, in December, Trump reportedly asked his advisers in a meeting, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?"
When an aide responded “yes” with the bill’s total, Trump allegedly unraveled. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican,” he said, according to people in the meeting who spoke to the Atlantic.
Trump says vile things every day but this has to be one of the vilest.
Throw it on the pile with the other powers he plans to abuse.
Unfortunately this did not happen very quickly. The years leading up to it were pretty awful.
TL;DR: Trump is disinhibited, perhaps pathologically so. Sometimes this has served him well; at other times it has led him to walk into trouble when others would have the sense to shut up. In his first presidency his impulsive urges ("can't you just shoot them?") were moderated by professional staff who would not always act on what he said. Trump hated this and Project 2025 is largely about ensuring that, in a second Trump presidency, the govenment at all levels is packed with Trump loyalists who will put his every order into action. So next time he orders protestors shot, it may happen.
The author asks many questions, but never the most important one: "Why don't people like Windows 11?"
Overturning a Kamala Harris victory would require an enormous amount of help from Republican power brokers in statehouses and Congress, some of whom spurned him four years ago.
That won't be a problem for them. Republicans spurn only until it's to their personal advantage to un-spurn.
They complain about unprofessional communications then fill this article with whining like this:
Weeks elapsed with little to no activity, because they were super busy pretending to be doing something else out in the abyss of phantom world.
And they never seem to consider that maybe their own code wasn't as great as they thought:
He finally built the coreboot ROM with our code, flashed it, and tried to boot the laptop, which displayed an FSP message. Max said he was surprised it made it that far. Why? We told them our code just needed debugging, but they didn’t want to believe it.
Why does the author expect it not to have problems? I know from experience that you can hand over your best, most thoroughly tested code to someone else and they'll immediately find a problem you have never seen. How professional are these people if that surprises them? "But it just needs debugging!" is not the response of someone who knows what they're doing and just needs a second pair of eyes on the code.
In the end this blog post backfires. They paint themselves as an arrogant and problematic client to deal with.
Edit: After reading the links in another comment on this thread (sorry for the instance-specific link, will fix if someone can advise me on a better syntax), and in this reddit thread this is evidently only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Malibal's behaviour. Definitely a company to avoid.
It's a term invented by Last.fm that didn't really catch on more generally because it's too silly even for the Internet.
Appears? There's video and photos of people burning to death. At least one of the victims has been identified. There are reports from traumatized eyewitnesses. Why the timid headline? Do we have to wait for Israel's word on what happened?
Sha'ban al-Dalou, 19, was a software engineering student who had survived an Israeli airstrike on a mosque that killed 20 people last week.
The Phil Collins puppet bears a strange resemblance to Liz Truss.
I'm strongly opposed to Trump but these headlines seem like a real stretch. It seems a couple of medical emergencies in the crowd interrupted things and music was played while Trump waited on stage, then at the end he stuck around while more music was played. He looked awkward, grooving along, but this isn't what "Trump Breaks Down Onstage" suggests.
Pirating it is a bad idea if you're downloading it from a non-Microsoft source, since malware would be a big risk. That would defeat the purpose of installing a supported OS in the first place. If you download it from Microsoft and use a pirated key maybe that would work, but would you get the security updates?
With international media coverage shifting to potential war with Iran, Israel is intensifying its campaign to obliterate the Palestinians of Gaza

> With the full support of the Biden administration, Israel is waging a merciless war of extermination against the 400,000 Palestinians remaining in the northern Gaza Strip as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering a plan to annex the territory. > > No food, water, or medicine have entered the north since October 1 as Israeli forces have conducted a campaign of intense airstrikes and ground forces have invaded and encircled much of the area. > > As it orders residents to flee the north, Israel has intensified its attacks on Deir Al-Balah, a city in central Gaza that has not suffered the vast scale of destruction unleashed by Israel in other parts of the Strip. > > Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled to the city in recent months. In the early morning hours of Monday, Israel bombed a crowded tent encampment for displaced people on the grounds of Al Aqsa hospital, engulfing civilians in a massive ring of fire. > > Video from the scene showed patients—some of whom appeared to be in beds attached to IV cords—being burned alive as others in the encampment tried desperately to extinguish the fires with small buckets of water.
The Dutch prison population has fallen by more than 40% – and awareness of the harms of harsh sentencing could explain why, says Dutch writer and journalist Renate van der Zee

> The Dutch have seen their prison population decrease by more than 40% over the past 20 years. At the other end of the spectrum, Britain has the highest rate of incarceration in western Europe, and is struggling with an unprecedented prisons crisis. Britain’s minister of prisons, James Timpson, calls the Netherlands a source of inspiration. > > What could the Dutch system teach the rest of the world? First, the declining prison population is not actually the result of recent policies by visionary politicians. Much of it is due to changes in reported crime and the nature of crime. As in many other western countries, the number of violent crimes has significantly dropped in the Netherlands in recent decades. > > This does not necessarily mean that there is actually less crime overall, as Dutch criminologist Francis Pakes, professor at the University of Portsmouth, who has studied the reasons for the emptying Dutch prisons, told me: “There is less conventional, violent crime, like murder. On the other hand, a lot of conventional crime went online and is less visible. And it is quite possible that there is a kind of organised crime that we have little visibility on. But fewer serious cases are coming to the police and courts.” And so fewer people end up in jail. > > But while the Dutch don’t have a model policy the world can copy, the overall Dutch attitude towards imprisonment could be instructive. According to Pakes, the Dutch are much more aware that a stay in prison does more harm than good. Society may be rid of a criminal for a while, but in many cases, criminals simply resume their activities when they leave prison. They may become more ruthless, due to the violent prison climate in which they have had to survive. And perhaps they have a wider criminal network that they built up behind bars. > > This also applies to shorter sentences. Even these can completely turn an offender’s life upside down. You can lose your job, home and social network. And you rarely become a better person during a short stay in jail.
