  • Republicans on House Ethics reject for now releasing report on Matt Gaetz

    Jump

  • House Ethics Committee Republicans temporarily blocked releasing findings from a probe into allegations of sexual misconduct and other accusations...Gaetz denies the allegations, including claims he had sex with a 17-year-old.

    What's the big deal? Was he found innocent, like he says he is? Cool, release it. Something something if he has nothing to hide.

    Or was he found guilty? Cool, release it.

  • D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week

    Jump

  • Same website (granted, different author, but), same inflammatory language, same vendor, referencing previous erroneous article...I'm not even gonna read this one. Just going to copy/paste my previous response from the previous post:

    At a certain point it's the consumer's (and blog writer's) fault, and that's after EoL. Not patching a supported one and just getting rid of support, saying buy a newer one? Yeah, that's bad.

    Continuing to not support an EoL model that you already don't support due to EoL (or even dropping support for an EoL model that no one expected you to support in the first place due to EoL)? Non-issue.

  • Trump skips FBI background checks for controversial cabinet picks – report

  • the federal government has long had hesitance to hold figures like presidents, senators, and supreme court justices to account, and this is just an extension of that.

    Because if they start holding others in similar offices to account, they might have to hold themselves as well, and that ain't happening.

  • Steve Madden says it will cut production in China to avoid Trump tariffs

    Jump

  • develop our factory base and our sourcing capability in alternative countries, like Cambodia, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil, etc."

    From the same article:

    Trump has proposed a 60% tax on imports from China, plus a universal tariff of 10%-20% on imports from all foreign countries.

    So those goods still get a tariff, probably raising prices for the American consumer, just not as steep as from China. I thought the primary goal of the tariff was to move production back to America (which is a whole thing and not as simple as flipping a switch), which this does not do...and it wasn't necessarily to try to limit China's economy,which it probably doesn't even put a dent in.

  • Trump AG prospect warns Letitia James: ‘We will put your fat ass in prison’

  • The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed.

    Can the people, by definition, fail? What happened to the "will of the people" and democracy that Americans go on about?

    If this is what won, this is obviously what the American people wanted/chose.

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns of potential impact of 2024 election

    Jump

  • You actively sought loss...you didnt listen and lost...

    I'm genuinely confused. What are you saying? The American voter currently only has two options: vote Democrat or vote Republican. Anything else, as it stands in present day America, throws the vote away.

    I think you're saying voting Democrat is "actively seeking loss," yet the only other option is to...vote Republican, which they wanted even less?

    Help me out here, as your logic ain't logicing.

  • The 2/3rds of American adults that are disenfranchised without representation are the victims.

    The real victims (with a say/vote) are the Americans who voted for Harris. The people who voted for Trump and those who abstained from voting actively and passively chose what's coming.

  • Once Again, the Democratic Leadership Has Failed Us All

    Jump

  • The first, and foremost failure, is the Republican party.

    They are not a failure. They are exactly what they want to be, they are exactly who they said they are, and they won the election. Sounds like the GOP is doing alright to me, from a GOP perspective.

  • Rudy Giuliani to appear in court after missing deadline to surrender assets

    Jump

  • And if you can't because they've been moved or "mysteriously misplaced," charge him for grand larceny and arrest him (IANAL so there is probably a better legal term for this).

    I don't think that "sure, I stole from them, but I "lost" what I stole so we cool now," is a valid legal defense. But I'm not a disbarred lawyer, so I could be wrong.

  • Trump wins.

  • Is there any chance that shit was rigged this time around?

    There's always a chance of almost anything, but it is very slim (conspiracy theory) with no evidence to support it:

    "Importantly, we have no evidence of any malicious activity that had a material impact on the security or integrity of our election infrastructure," per the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly.

  • Harris was popular when she first announced.

    I don't think she was popular when first announced, rather the fact that not-Biden was popular.

  • Depends. In my experience, it usually does exist. Now there are hallucinations where GPT makes up stuff or just misinterprets what it read. But it's super easy to read the GPT output, look at the cited work, skim works for relevance, then tweak the wording and citing to match.

    If you just copy/paste and take GPT's word for it without the minimal amount of checking, you're digging your own grave.

  • the fact that Biden is drawing attention to it

    Now, if only there was someone in charge of the federal government, preferably with immunity when acting on official duties, who could safeguard America's interest by removing someone's access to defense contracts and deporting the same someone who started off their defense career illegally. Oh well.
