@Blinxeto @br00t4c

His plan is to destroy the US economy. Simple as that.

Why? Because a ruined US can't protect Europe from Putin.

@sophieschmieg

Maybe, but that sounds like a *giant* footgun for timing-attack vulnerabilities. Merely changing the compiler version could create one, nevermind compiling for a new ISA.

I didn't say it's easy to implement such a thing, but it is absolutely necessary.

@lanodan

The highway outside my apartment is louder than the computers inside.

I kinda miss all the '90s computer noises: whirring-and-clicking disk drives, screeching modems, crackling CRTs, and that cheerful beep when the computer turns on.

@SuperDicq

@br00t4c

3am? Holy moly. I'm starting to wonder if he actually believes his own bullshit.

@br00t4c

Holy crap but that comment section is overrun with blatantly lying MAGA trolls. I think I'm gonna be sick.

Anyway, Fox News? Really? I hope Walz and his allies know what they're doing…

@br00t4c

Kernel of truth. If the Democrats win a trifecta, they may pass laws that make it significantly harder for Republicans to cheat their way to victory in the future. If they want to win an election after that, they'll have to actually earn people's votes, instead of blatantly stealing them.

@br00t4c

We are the United States of America, the mightiest and richest country under the sun, and these MAGAts think we can't fund more than one disaster recovery effort at a time?

Shame on them; they make our country look weak and impotent. Where's their patriotism? Where's their pride?

Sometimes it feels like most humans don't have consciousness.

Which #StarTrek theme song is your favorite, and why is it Voyager? 😋

@br00t4c

I'm frankly shocked that he's actually going to maybe suffer some kind of consequences for that.

@br00t4c

They're still gonna vote for Trump, though, and Vance's smooth talk just conned the normal people into voting for Trump as well.

@br00t4c

Then they don't know that #Vance lied.

That's what scares me about him. Americans can't see through his lies. They'll vote for him thinking he's a great and reasonable guy, and then be all surprised Pikachu when he throws their wives in prison for unlawful menstruation, takes away their health care, and suspends the elections.

He's even more dangerous than #Trump.

#USpol

#Harris says she'll cut #taxes for the #MiddleClass.

#Trump says he's going to institute a national sales #tax.

Average #American voter: “I'm voting for Trump! If Harris wins, she'll raise my taxes!!!”

What fresh brainwashed illogical hell is this?!

#USpol

@HistoPol

Reined in how? He clearly takes his orders from Putin, not us. We can't assassinate him; he's got the best national security apparatus in the world. We can't stop giving him weapons or oppose Israel militarily without handing Trump the election on a silver platter.

We appear to be doomed.

@w7voa

@HistoPol

The only reason you think most Americans don't support Netanyahu is because Biden has yet to incur their wrath by rejecting him and his regime.

The Biden administration are not idiots, nor are they ill-informed. They must've calculated that they would lose far more votes than they'd gain by rejecting Netanyahu. I have no reason to doubt the correctness of their calculation.

But yes, Biden is clearly cornered by Netanyahu's American supporters.

@w7voa

@HistoPol

If that is done, Netanyahu will publicly scream that the Biden/Harris administration has turned antisemitic and betrayed the people of Israel. Many American voters will believe him and, in rage, vote for Trump. Game over.

@w7voa

@charvaka

And now #Biden / #Harris are caught between a rock (pro #Palestine / #Lebanon voters refusing to vote) and a hard place (pro-Israel voters who would regard disarmament of #Israel as an act of #antisemitism and refuse to vote).

#Trump and #Netanyahu are the true enemies of both groups, but they don't seem to realize it. 🤦♂️

@br00t4c

#Cryptocurrency is a threat to national sovereignty and the wealth of the common people, and should have been outlawed a decade ago.

Now we will all pay dearly for our leaders' negligence.

@HistoPol

Well, so far this problem seems completely impossible to solve, so with all due respect, that's not good enough. A serious proposal is needed. One that even the experts in the Biden administration haven't thought of.

@w7voa

@HistoPol

What would you have Biden do? Cease weapons shipments to Israel? Many Americans would consider that an act of antisemitism. Harris would lose even more votes.

There's a reason America has been helpless to rein in Netanyahu, and I don't see you or anyone else proposing a solution that has a snowball's chance in hell of success.
