@brendannyhan I simply expect nothing less af the GOP in its current form. Not even Pence’s brother showed up. I guess the crowd calling for Mike to be hanged didn’t make an impression on Greg.
@lussenpop That’s such a gross abdication of responsibility.
@micahflee Greenwald had one big story. Since leaving The Guardian, he’s become nothing more than a Putin apologist and all-around troll for right-wing propaganda.
@micahflee I blocked my first troll within about an hour of being on here.
@GrayWx Fortran reminds me that I once dealt with a scam caller who was going to “fix” my Windows PC. I told him, “I don’t waste my time with Windows, I’m running Fortran on an IBM 360.” “Click.” Don’t actually know Fortran, and the closest thing to a 360 I ever ran was a System 3 Model 15. Those ran on RPG for the most part, used to manage revolving credit accounts. As interesting dryer lint. I did write scripts in language called Userland Frontier for pre-Linux Macs.
@rock_jockey @cgseife thanks, currently in the app on my phone.
@cgseife Is there an edit function hiding somewhere?
@markjacob At this rate, MuskRat will default on the first debt service payment.
@georgetakei The fact that the chain of custody for Hunter’s laptop is as shady Trump condo sales pitch doesn’t matter to Republicans because ethics don’t matter to the Republicans. They’re not building a case to take to court, just dressing up political garbage, hanging a few pine tree air fresheners on it, and readying the video cameras for Gym Jordan and Matt “Edge of 17” Gaetz to shout stupid questions to be regurgitated for 2024 political ads from the darkest money PACs.
@markjacob I have you to blame/thank, along with a couple of other ex-colleagues, including Dan Froomkin.
