Lost me at .NET. Hard pass.

Hmmm, I wonder if they’ll just stop once they take Ukraine. Surely, they’ll just mothball all of that gear they’ve spent the last two years ramping production up for.

No. Crimea is Ukraine.

You’re exactly correct. The law as it stands is irrelevant to what these analysts think. I’m not saying Trump can call every shot, but it doesn’t really get any easier to change or skirt laws he dislikes. Anyone who leans on the “but the law says…” argument is praying.

All these analysts trying to figure out how this tyrant who will be in control of all the Federal government can’t do this or that because a piece of paper says so. SMH.

Science!

So this got me thinking. Would carrying a laser pointer save your life if you got attacked by a wild cat (mountain Lion or something) or a bear? Assuming you tried to use it to distract the animal.

Poland doesn’t want to be the welcome mat again.

It was Poland in WW2. It’s Ukraine now. Poland remembers.

Not to mention that the civil war was lost through the presidential election of 1876 even though it was won in battle before that. That election was so corrupt that the Union conceded a lot to get their president, including removing Federal forces from the South on the promise that the South would protect Federal rights of minorities, blacks, etc. (among other things) The North pulled out and the south reneged without consequence (the KKK was the strong arm then) until the Civil Rights act in the 60s. That’s only roughly 60 years ago. Most of the institutional segregation from before then is still firmly in place.

Heaven forbid we would have to compromise instead of ramming legislation only we like through to pass.

They all decay to fascism, if you haven’t noticed.

Yes, and the church went nuts displaying the “Holy Relic” that was his supposed foreskin for many, many years, in many churches… At the same time. It got so out of control that people started to wonder why the church was so obsessed with Jesus’s dick. So the Pope finally got a clue, commanded a stop to the practice, and threatened to excommunicate anyone who spoke about it afterward. Ah, Christianity. Good times.

Duh.

Read a newspaper some time. You might learn a thing about that.

I didn’t realize all Russians were in the Linux kernel maintainers file. Silly me.

This is not collective punishment.

Good. Fuck Russia.

Nice. Fuck Russia.

Tried this game. It needs a lot of polish.
