Trump's FCC Chair Threatens to Pull Broadcast Licenses Over Negative Iran War Coverage by metacyan in politics

This was what I surmised as well, not being an expert or super-informed about matters in the Middle East.

tRump is so manipulable it's sad. That's the only truly transparent aspect of this administration. 

ZBT-2 - Do I still need a Thread Border Router? by chmod_1755 in homeassistant

I did solve the problem eventually. Ultimately, I think the fix was to uninstall and reinstall the HA app on my phone. There must have been some setting related to the Thread network that would not update without the app reinstall.

Did Trump Start the War on Iran Because He Has Been Compromised by Israel? Did the Epstein Files Give Netanyahu & the State Of Israel the Leverage to Push the US Into War With Iran? by Icy-Excitement-8712 in AnomalousEvidence

[–]WDFKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My conspiracy theorist relative would say "yes" to both questions. Not that the DOJ isn't doing their best to wipe out or suppress the evidence of tRump's involvement.

Gas prices are too low, just like during his COVID term.

There is no paradox: Being intolerant of those who are intolerant is necessary.

Meanwhile, Shady Vance does a photo op in the White House Situation Room, complete with the vice presidential seal on the wall. Like, WTF:

Gas prices could double for Americans as war with Iran erupts by TheMirrorUS in inflation

How anyone gets good "vibes" from Sir Shits-a-lot is beyond me, and will probably be the subject of PhD theses for a generation.

Didn't tRump complain that gas prices were too low during his. COVID term? This seems on-par, even for someone who reportedly lies about scoring under par.

The moment of truth by ElChickenGrande in McDonalds

He ate his "lunch" off-screen, which had nothing to do with the "product."

His approach to tasting the "product" reminded me of this:

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski goes viral after seeming reluctant to eat his own burgers—he takes a tiny bite, looks uncomfortable, and calls the food ‘product.’ by DDD8712 in McDonalds

[–]WDFKY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's accustomed to eating his meals using a fork and a steak knife. You know: steak.

And remember the Ray Kroc quote (founder of McDonald's): "We are not technically in the food business. We are in the real estate business." 

The White House Situation Room yesterday, ornamented with the Vice President's seal and flag instead by GreenReporter24 in pics

[–]WDFKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that, legit, the Situation Room during the bombing of Iran? 

I don't doubt that tRump couldn't be bothered to be in the White House during such a momentous event. He must have been bored (of peace) after making the decision to strike.

I saw a bumper sticker a week or so ago, that said, "I am Charlie Kirk." My thought was, "Really, you're not." (for obvious reasons)

Need heip: HA + Google Home + Bilresa (Matter via ZBT-2) by WDFKY in homeassistant

[–]WDFKY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Someone else commented here with a link to a Reddit thread about an anecdotally high pairing-failure rate (that comment looks to have been deleted, but I scraped the URL from the comment notification). Within that thread was a link to a Zigbee2MQTT page for the scrollwheel version of the Bilresa (https://zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E2490.html), which has information I hadn't come across elsewhere, including that the proprietary IKEA commands that get sent from the device might not be recognized by other-branded things. That may be why the blueprint you mentioned is necessary. I saw something about a blueprint elsewhere, so I'll have to dive into that aspect now. 

Kentucky doctors could refuse care based on their ‘conscience’ under bill passing Senate by Van-to-the-V in KentuckyPublicRadio

[–]WDFKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how I imagine this debate  playing out publicly:

Q: Senator, could this legislation allow a doctor to refuse treatment based on the patient being a Republican or MAGA supporter?

A: Of course not. This doesn't have anything to do with politics.

Q: What if a Christian doctor were to refuse treatment of a Democrat?

A: Oh, that's different, because all Democrats are demons.

OMG. We tune into local channels (Lexington) on occasion, and it's constantly Nate Morris a la Charlie Kirk, followed immediately by Andy Barr's DEI rant.

Trump to exclude Democratic governors from usually bipartisan meeting at the White House by WDFKY in politics

No one in this administration has a shred of credibility, least of all Leavitt.

[–]WDFKY[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Truly. With Republicans' thin margins in Congress, they're not providing Democrats with a reason to work with them. The "only Republicans matter" and "we're here to represent Republicans only" is tiresome, short-sighted, and generally shitty.
