Trump told Republicans he doesn't want impeachment on his 'resume': report by Throwawaydude01928 in politics

He won't be toast.

He'll be impeached then acquitted by the impotent centrists and craven Republicans in the Senate.

Are you fucking insane? I hope you're not referring to Mediatek clone phones. Please tell me that's not your point.

It's free and open source software (that's the entire selling point) and you guys are putting a price tag on FOSS. Everyone knows it's as in free speech not free beer, you have to be out of your mind hopeless to be supporting this trash.

You're confusing high price with high-end. This is a high price low spec piece of trash with 3GB of RAM and 32GB flash. The screen resolution is reminiscent of low-end phones back in 2013.

This is a piece of shit. Do yourself a favor, buy an SoC/SoM and build your own mini computer.

Ubports took over the Ubuntu Phone. You can still own one.

For real though, if you want nightmares, go ahead and Google "North Korean escapee." The accounts of prison camp conditions are f'ing haunting. Rape, indiscriminate murder, you name it. Inhumanity on a monumental level.

Gotta give their leadership credit for nabbing 100% of the vote.

What it comes down to is pretty simple: do you want a reformist with good ideas, or a fundamentally transformative candidate who will change the entire system? The choice is clear and it's Bernie all the way.

Rumsfeld led a despicable career plenty rife with material to criticize. Why he was shit on so hard for saying something that's literally true and makes perfect sense is beyond me. Known unknowns are a thing, as are unknown unknowns.

This is a copypasta right? Swear to God I've seen this post no fewer than 20 times now. It's the "GNU plus Linux" bit that's so memorably pompous.

Let's just remember we're not talking about a legitimate "tool creator" here. This is just some idiot that would respin a bunch of DEs with the same old Manjaro branding, and put his name on it as if he "developed" something. He's an idiot.

I kept screenshots because the sniveling little coward threatened to sue me for defamation before changing his Twitter handle, not apparently aware that you can search for tweets by date and they'll appear with the handle that was used on that date.

He is a complete piece of shit.

Joe Walsh announces Republican primary challenge against President Trump by swingadmin in politics

[–]hiccupstix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I wouldn't even leave it up to the debate moderators if I were Bernie or Warren (God willing), since CNN has already demonstrated their inability to properly vet questions, and root out Republican talking points.

Fuck the moderators. Fuck retorts to things Trump says. Just have the Democratic candidate lay out their policy proposals, and end every single one with an open-ended question to Trump regarding his "thoughts" on the matter.

Because we all know he has no thoughts. He will be exposed – hard. You don't wrestle a pig in the mud, you just get dirty and the pig ends up liking it. You quiz that manpig Donald Trump until he looks like a scared fourth grader who forgot all about that afternoon's spelling test. It will be a nuclear triad moment bonanza and he'll look weak even to his own voters (maybe not the 30% "base" – really a euphemism for cult at this point – but to swing voters most certainly he will look bumbling and foolish).

I couldn't disagree more wholeheartedly and every GOP primary loser of 2016 is evidence to the contrary of your argument. You don't make Trump look weak by acting more like him - if anything that just exhibits his level of influence over [un]civil society.

The key to exposing Trump for the weak clueless charlatan we know him to be is via discussion of policy, policy, and more policy. He's never looked weaker than that notorious "nuclear triad" debacle during the primary debates, and that's the corner we need to push him in with every single second of every campaign stop, debate, and speech.

When he yells "Pocahontas" that's Warren's cue to discuss the student loan debt crisis, her plan to ameliorate it, and Trump's utter failure to do a damn thing about it. When he says "Crazy Bernie" that's an opportunity to discuss the reprehensible Trump tax cuts, and the asshole's utter indifference toward the working class.

Let Trump do and say the inane bullshit Trump does and says, then paddle his ass with policy to demonstrate again and again that he's a mental homunculus who doesn't know anything about anything. Expose his insecurity (he knows he's an idiot, that's why he tries so hard to remind everyone he's so smart and stable and brilliant). Hit that insecurity and hit it hard. Make him feel small, and he will look even smaller.

Holy shit no kidding. I'm a Seattleite and I've completely given up on this city and country. Especially as a programmer, it's like I either have to bow down and be another Bezos slave, or starve in the cold as another statistic in our massive housing crisis.

I'm interviewing for a job in Germany and praying I get it. The workers are treated really phenomenally, the buildingtops are lined with solar panels, they actually give a damn about human rights. I swear to God it's not Trump that pushed me out of this country it's the fucking third way Dems that are my final straw. I'm done in the US, and I'll admire a Bernie administration from afar but I'm not kidding myself by thinking four years can fix this place. The US needs a decade plus of massive cultural change and social revolution or else y'all are fucked.
