I may as well drop another breadcrumb for this horrific timeline of events

My parents are both VA nurses. I am having a hard time sitting here and waiting for the inevitable smear campaign of an innocent and most likely compassionate person to begin. One can only sense even darker days lie ahead for all of us. My support is with those in #Minneapolis

The new AFI album was in my feed today…hadn’t listened to anything from them since 1999? I was more of an Answer That guy. WTF is this? Gothy synth rock. The picture of Davey is insane. I kind of dig it just because we are all old now and it’s different than I expected. You continue to do you.

Its nice the kids get to experience their own 2003 style build-up to an unjust war like we did.

This is what happens when you kick out all the gay people from an organization and then tell it to do musical theater #nokings #parade #militaryparade

It’s not about the left at this point. If there are any Republicans left in Congress that care about the Constitution anymore, they should be calling in every official to explain these bombastic statements and actions, under oath. Bog them down with follow-ups and make them go beyond sound bites

Is this tariff in response to the fentanyl or the immigration emergency? Or is it the Venezuelan gang invasion? I can’t keep up. I look forward to Congress clarifying why the executive branch would ever have the ability to levy something like this. I’m sure they’ll jump right on it.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard him string together a few sentences that left me thinking he had any clue about software development. Then again, I don’t think we are the marks this is intended for anyway.

I would expect some public outrage about the argument they are making but am reminded that we are living in the seal team six immunity era of public acquiescence

School is getting out. The weather is great. If there isn’t a swarm of college students descending on DC to occupy then we truly are cooked, as the kids like to say. The judiciary may block this but it isn’t withstanding the onslaught. It will take more than op-eds to protect higher ed in America

This is absolutely wild. As a CTO, I would require burners for any travel to China, Russia, Pakistan, and Iran. Nobody ever traveled to North Korea, but they were on the list as well. This is the company we now keep in the eyes of Europe.

Why seeing trade deficits as a problem is silly. We buy $150B of stuff from Vietnam and they buy $10B from US. Taxing ourselves 50% on Vietnamese goods doesn’t make them buy more things from us. We will simply buy less from them and pay huge taxes on what we do buy. It’s so fucking stupid.

Here is a perfect example of where our Constitution (and institutions) need to be modernized and strengthened. There has never been a President that has the technical acumen to make decisions like this and it’s unlikely there ever will be. To say nothing of the conflict of interests at hand.

Probably unpopular opinion here. A strong defense of the Constitution (if it happens) is going to be made up of a whole lot of voices from old guard Republicans and moderates, not just leftists. See the judiciary. If this platform has a strong voice in that, it needs more than progressives too.

Debating the federal government’s role in driving basic research is something we should have, fine. Elections also have consequences, of course. But at least be aware of the ramifications first. State governments and private institutions will not step in fast enough in equal numbers.

I must say, not a huge fan of threatening the sovereignty of Canada. I must have missed that question during the presidential debate and was unaware that this is a top priority for the country.

Today feels more like 2004 to me than 2016. The first term didn’t seem legitimate. Liberals were being called unamerican. We convinced ourselves we had a good candidate and it didn’t matter. We went to war over lies and nobody cared.

My plan was always to delete X after the election and I had already weaned myself off of it for the most part. Didn’t expect it to be under these conditions though.
