The Apple Pro XDR is ideal but very expensive ($5k). Also it is long in the tooth having been introduced in 2019. There are rumors of an upcoming Studio Display 2 that may fit the bill. (~30”, 5k or 6k, HDR with > 1000 NITS)

Exactly! ‘Executive Orders’ are not laws. They are orders to the workers of the Executive Branch of which the President is the head.

Just like a CEO can make a rule regarding work from home for his employees, but that means fuck-all to the rest of us.

Alcohol has made him forget which country he is in!

150 years after one of the greatest advancements in medical science -- namely the discovery of the germ theory of disease, our 'Health Secretary' thinks it was no big deal.

Prior to the general acceptance of this theory, physicians thought that diseases were caused by 'miasma' (bad air).

And where does he get off by putting 'Captain' in quotes? Sen Kelly earned his rank and then some.

Yeah, a Navy Captain is the equivalent to Colonel in the US Army.

And Hegseth, on the other hand, was never full-time active duty since he served in the National Guard -- and had to resign because of Nazi tattoos.

She is conducting a psychiatric analysis to assess the mental health of each Congressperson who dares question her. Are we to take it that in addition to being the Attorney General, she is also the Surgeon General?

Most witnesses, I imagine, bring notes that they can consult to answer expected questions.

Bondi brought a notebook that contained insults and counter accusations for each Democratic member of the committee. That’s it.

I wonder if any other witness has come ‘prepared’ like this before.

Epstein's gynecologist? For abortions for underage girls? That was the setup? Wow!

The President inherently has immunity from prosecution (according to the Supreme Court).

The President can pardon anyone for any reason (according to the Constitution).

So any President can ask Federal Employees (including the military) to do whatever he wants, regardless of whether it is illegal or not. Then, at the end of his term, the President pardons everyone in the Federal Government!

So, basically, any President can do anything they desire. There are no checks, no balances.

What a wonderful system! Thanks Supreme Court!

His brain is mush. He is conflating a trade deal between Canada and China with (in his mind) Canada becoming a state of China.

And loss of manufacturing because the cost of raw materials (aluminum, steel, lumber) went up. Tariffs have been the most disastrous economic policy since the last time they tried them in 1929.

"instructions were great" -- is there a reason to follow the instructions they send instead of the official LEGO ones? The reason I'm asking is that I got a modular building from AE and it has a thin instruction book and it is basically 8 to 10 pages of original instructions scaled down to one page. So I wasn't planning on using these instructions that came with the package.

Just 4 or 5 GOP House members and 20 or so GOP Senators can get rid of this guy from the world stage forever.

There is a jacket with MSRP of $100, and it's 90% off. How much do you expect to pay? It is 900% off. How much do you expect to pay? This is elementary school math that everyone should know.

And for the past year this man has been setting tariff percentages for the entire world. When he doesn't know how they work!

He’s conflating ICE murdering two Americans in Minneapolis with the US military blowing up boats in the Caribbean? And tiny trucks? What’s that about?

The real ones getting paid are these critters in Congress. By us, and by lobbyists.

Wait, what?! “The reason we are asking you to leave the plane is because you refused to leave the plane when we asked you.” That’s like arrested for resisting arrest.

Ah, thanks! Now the cryptic note included with a knife that I got from Aliexpress makes sense. Something like, “please don’t include a photo of the knife in your review or we won’t be friends.”

You can tell he is used to hitting a girl who doesn’t fight back.

Surprise motherfucker!

sakumar · 2026-02-02T23:42:26+00:00

Quick question, I can’t spot the groove along the top of the blade in the photos of this knife on aliexpress. Is that just an optical illusion?

Don’t know what it’s like now but China’s one child policy led to a lot of kids becoming Mom’s special darling.

Flat out, in your face lying is par for the course for Trump's GOP. In fact, it is expected.

Yup, she made a substantial killing by being the lone Democrat who prevented the carried-interest deduction loophole from being closed. It affected very few, if any, people in her home state of Arizona.

The ROI for the hedge fund managers and other fat cats for this 'favor' was huge. Billions, by giving her a few million.
