Really currious what the overlap in really shitty politics and really shitty behaviors is. I mean obviously we’ve got the blatent shit at both ends like Gingrich, Trump, Sinema etc…
Clinton, kind of iffy on both ends there, I mean honestly he accomplished a lot of things republicans wanted but couldn’t have done… ripping up Glass-Steagall etc… His affairs could be looked at as far less, but I do have to point out the power dynamics are what should have been the bigger deal than they were. I haven’t heard much on how Weiner’s policies were, I don’t think I’ve heard much on his policies, only his too hard to stop laughing at misconduct.


Now now… political discourse, it’s not like one nation can just call out a bounty on another nations leader and assasinate or kidnap them without severe political consiquences… any nation dumb enough to set that precident would have no leg to stand on when another nation tries to do it to them right?


So when this time there is a democratic majority in the senate as well they could actually remove him.
am I off on my facts or isn’t it a 2/3rds requirement? Getting a majority is very possible… getting a 2/3rds is almost impossible. In Nixon’s era the republican party at least held up enough air of responsibility that some of them would have voted with the facts rather than along party lines. Those days have gone.


I’m actually wondering if the epstien bomb may be an additional part of it. IE if trump goes down, less focus goes on the files and they can be burried again.
I’d say a second hypothetical… obviously will be a conspiracy theory, but what if say in the near future trump is assasinated. Vance takes the throne… epstein file coverage goes down now that the primary implicated person is out.
Hell that could be the main driving force of the media backing trump. He was meant to burry them, but he made them a center focus


I’m sure we’ll be hearing a huge handful from everyone that attacked those who dared to speak badly about kirk after he died any minute now!

IMO I don’t see why you get a second human involved. Store the database in an encrypted form… save a copy to some cloud service. Why count on another human for it


I fully agree as a tool LLMs are amazing. Throw in a config file or code that you know 99% of what it should be, but can’t find what’s wrong… and I’d say there’s a good 70% chance it will find it… maybe chasing down one or 2 red herrings before it solves it.
The bad rap of course is simply the 2 main factors.
idiots that use it to do the entire coding, and thus wind up with something they themselves don’t have even the basic understanding of how it goes together, so they can’t spot when it does something horrifically wrong.
The overall reality that, no matter how you slice it, it costs an absurd amount to run these things. so… while the AI companies are letting us use these things for free or off really cheap plans, it’s actually costing real money to process, and realistically there’s no sign of it reaching a point where there’s actually a fair trade of value…


Very 100% agreed it’s in the no shit sherlock category. The american people want you to at the very least pay lip service to the idea that you are going to try to make their lives better. Rather than just calling the republicans bad.


Exactly why dem’s struggle so much. Go on every damn tv station that will let you… get on every damn podcast you can… scream from the rooftops "HEY WE WANT TO PUNISH THIS ILLEGAL SHIT and they don’t want us to. Force them on the defensive… their base is already turning on them. We’re watching districts flip in real time, show the american people what you are trying to do, so we can actually help you do it.


Well yes most anyone here knows he’s 1/100th as bad as trump. and honestly in practice as president, I have to say he may actually be the best president in my lifetime. Doesn’t change the fact that his age was a huge problem in his campaigning. and put simply the democratic party’s obvious coverup of his age, that all fell appart on debate day did a pretty awful weakening to the image of the democratic party, which I would say, contributed to a good portion of swayable voters staying home or voting for trump.


I’m willing to bet next week we’ll get an MRI result, of his toe… and someone’s going to notice the date is this week.


Always good to know a strong political movement being lead, when the creators, don’t mention a single policy stance, state their past sides were based on which party hired them first… and formerly helped the tea party. So in short, their goal is to find districts of low turnout where voters aren’t arsed to show up… giving an independent candidate a shot, with no indication of what that candidate will stand for.
If I had to be a betting man, I’m going to assume, it’s going to be just like the tea party with a new strategy. IE it’s stances will be determined by the same money that dominates the existing 2 parties, given the false air of being “independent”, just like the tea party did.


The political consiquences of this are unknown. Could mandami be a snake, absolutely, is it possible that behind closed doors he said to trump “I don’t actually believe anything I said, go ahead and send ice in and do whatever you want”… can’t rule it out, wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been screwed (cough fetterman).
But at the same time… it’s also possible they just said a bunch of platitudes. He just stuck up some charm, redirected his ideas in a way that trump thought they were his own.
Point is trump is going to have impact, and getting trump to moderately like you, is a good thing and will make enacting your goals easier, even when your goals are directly going to go head to head against trump. Mandami has a lot of goals, and he cannot get them all passed unilaterally. When he actually changes his rhetoric, or doesn’t push for any of the things he said he would, that’s when we call him out. Talking with other leaders, is kind of what politicians are supposed to do.


I mean it’s so obvious… is anyone else unaware that raising the goal for quantity is how you lower quality. Organized criminals are… well organized and hard to find. Finding one big cartel leader is considerably harder than scooping up 100 people showing up for their scheduled appointment with immigration court.


I mean does he have a chance, if I’m not mistaken didn’t he win against a pedophile by the skin of his teeth. and now at this rate I’m wondering if pedophilia is less unpopular than it was back then.
I’ve long since switched to foundry, but I used to use

It’s not web based, but the clients are available for linux mac and windows,


I’m not doubting the problems of any government. however to make the case that it’s not grounded on the fear of communism… It’s not like that’s exactly uncommon in countries we are continuing to do business like NBD, Isreal, Russia, Saudi Arabia to name a few off the top of my head.
Again not disagreeing with the general concept that communist countries aren’t exempt from committing atrocities. Difference is a capitalist country does them “it’s a growing pain”, or “they are starting out, once they get big enough they’ll fix it, just like the US did”.


Also in news, the 37 felony convictions might be because trump comitted some crimes. Does he think he’s brilliant and the rest of the country is idiots? You aren’t dealing with a criminal mastermind, your dealing with a batman villain. The issue isn’t that he’s so clever nobody can see his clever manuvering, it’s that everyone in a position to do something about it, is corrupt as fuck.
It’s been a long time, but… wordpress is all sql isn’t it? Shouldn’t it just be, make a backup of the mysql database on the old server, install mysql and restore the database to the new server, and then point the word press servers configuration to the new database?
