Considering presidential immunity and that soon every high ranking official in the country will be selected based only on how loyal (I had a different term in mind, bit I didn’t want you to imagine Trump in that situation) they are, I don’t think there’s any blackmail strong enough.

He’s going to ruin people’s life’s purely for his ego and possibly greed

I think Trump’s strategy was “I’m going to sound so crazy every Democrat will assume I’ll lose and don’t bother voting”.

And it worked.

TWICE

“They forced Russia”. How? By already letting Russia keep Crimea?

Go back to hexbear

Some office administrative was going to be fired, but due to timezone confusion all her accounts were terminated before HR got to the office.

For half of the morning somebody had to pretend to be checking with IT why her computer didn’t work.

So… Palestine is safe now? Not voting or voting Trump leads to people not being murdered?

I’m pretty sure that’s not what’s going to happen, and I wish I was wrong.

My bad, I thought you said the democrats were not going to let it be.

Like fine milk.

This was one of the last things I read before going to sleep. I thought it might be true.

What do you think they’ll do? In court they won’t change anything, and rednecks are hard thinking they get to fire democrats.

the president can do whatever he wants with impunity.

I’m still hoping Biden uses that to finish Trump. That will lead surely you a civil war, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay as somebody who doesn’t live in the US.

Only half /s

All of this already happened + a mismanaged pandemic and his voters still supported him.

From day 1 there’s going to be somebody recreating his persona to be ready for 2028 to repeat this.

The US being a dumpster fire is nothing new. But this is a new low

Still there’s no reason to wait that long. Ban now the supply to the stores and full ban on 2025 if they still have stock.

Any case you’ll say it’s not first hand and therefore invalid.

You also seem to have narrow attention span. Seems the bit about torture, forced medical treatments, detention… Somehow eluded you. You saw the word “individual” and held to that like a Chinese state doctor holds a healthy kidney.

But that happens everywhere, am I right?

Yet here you are, taking about some hypothetical “US propaganda machine”, without making s proper case for it.

This brand of deflection, “well, I’m not denying, but we can’t say for certain, and actually everywhere there are issues” isn’t new nor very effective. You might need to update your training data, give it a few more cycles. At least don’t throw it back to back in the conversion, jus much more noticeable that way.

or gonna put them in roles that involve minimal interaction with other forces.

Like… The front line, land mined areas…

I honestly feel bad for them. At least Russian soldiers have/had access to info outside their country. This guys are sent there believing they are the best equipped, most advanced army in the world, and they will just replace the fallen conscripts.

“allegations of patterns of torture, or ill-treatment, including forced medical treatment and adverse conditions of detention, are credible, as are allegations of individual incidents of sexual and gender-based violence.”

And this is from what China let them see.

Sorry bot, only those working for companies under sanction. And this doesn’t mean they can’t contribute, just that their contributions need to be approved by someone else.

But I’m pretty sure the Russian git repo will allow us based Microsoft employees be on the mantainers list… Right? Russia state is nothing if not honest, consistent and imperi… friendly with other nations

Seeing some comments, that /s is pretty much necessary.

I might have bad news for you: your ancestors raped murdered and pillaged someones ancestors. I don’t even need to know where exactly you’re from to make this statement with full confidence.

So hold your grudge if you want, just don’t be hypocritical about it.

Here you can find more info. I hope it’s helpful

I mean, they can just pull the current kernel, add a few patches and say it’s their kernel.

Let’s be honest, cold war brought the space race, if this war brings the “year of Linux” race I’m not going to complain

I imagine google operation in Russia is currently Ivan with a Chromebook. I guess Putin can nationalize it and call it a victory. Good knows he needs one (but the devil will collect)
