That’s like having google make a pizza with everything in my fridge then they complain that I also keep the dog’s food in there.

“42”

“The answer to life the universe and everything is 42!?”

“Yes, I checked it quite thoroughly.”

…

“But what was the actual question?”

Alternatively, garbage in, garbage out.

Actually no, I’ve not heard of them. I’m not American, can I get a TL;DR? From connect in guessing some kind of “think tank”?

I set up a panel of people that I can fire when they don’t tell me that I should fire the people I already want to fire.

chef’s kiss

Like that orange idiot would take anyone’s advice ;-)

Doesn’t the Commander in Chief already have that authority?

“Somebody shit in my pants.”

That all sounds like it’d negatively affect my market capitalisation indexed quarterly bonus.

So… Concentration camps.

Right.

LOL, which one?

Perhaps they kept asking questions that the irritated the PM.

Are they actually US bases or are they actually NATO bases?

If the latter, then it’d just be case of “my swipe card doesn’t work anymore”.

Needs more plants.

USA: best i can do is sanctions and blockade

… the US doesn’t have a monopoly on such behavior.

Of course! Though I can’t think of another democratic country that quite as readily and enthusiastically wear political affiliations on their sleeve (literally).

It’s a dedication to a team that I personally only experience in terms of the dominant sports.

It’s asinine how plausible this is.

My take from the outside (i.e. not American), so hopefully I can be objective.

American politics and therefore the American electorate appears almost entirely tribal: you’re either on the red or the blue team (or a third party team that is sufficiently small to ignore.)

The swing states just happen to be states where the balance between red and blue is pretty even, allowing outsized impact of relatively minor variances in voter turnout.

Tribalism within the red team appears far far stronger than within the blue team. Strong enough that anti-democratic actions that support the team are acceptable; e.g. voter suppression, gerrymandering, failing to adjust the electoral college based on asymmetric population growth.

The states’ electoral systems are corrupted not by anti-democratic actions, but because such actions are possible. The crisis is that the system that was required when states had to send representatives in person by rail or horse to the capital is obsolete.

TL;DR: y’all need some constitutional amendment and electoral reform.

I trialled both a while ago, chose ummich asits face recognition was superior.

There were other reasons, but I’ve forgotten them.

That’s why you need to earn a living, because you don’t deserve to exist unless you sell your labour.

I imagine that technicality is going to be that it was (apparently) Israeli police not IDF.
