  • Article says this is due to a radio communications malfunction that likely won’t be resolved for at least 6-12 hours, and there’s also mention of general disruption of the communications (IT disruption) throughout the country. I don’t want to jump too hard at a conclusion but if I did it would be a Russian hack or sabotage. I’d sorta hope to be wrong, but I just doubt technical incompetence from the Germans here.

    Added: Reading another article now and yea there’s some context I didn’t have. Yikes.









  • Blowing with the wind, is he? Someone inform me if this isn’t just pure posturing for voters.

    Edit: Holy crap! What an interesting split on this comment. Look people, all I was trying to do was glean more info on what type of billionaire behavior this guy’s been exhibiting, and perhaps have a measured discussion on the subject. Truth be told, no billionaire or person of such excessive means can be trusted until separated from such wealth and means, and certainly all high profile politicians say the favorable thing and then do something else. I’d rather folks share what they know etc even just to approximate where this guy is on that scale; it’s interesting (and somewhat disappointing) that the middle ground I imagined (ie: has done some good, still don’t trust him) just really not represented here. I just don’t know where the bar is anymore. I do know that getting vitriolic and irrational, or conversely strongly supporting establishment types is ultimately distracting and a useful tool to those in power.

    A small group among the left seem to; saying this in regards to the left (in government: democrats, at least) in general is not accurate. It is relatively unknown to me how much of the American populace is actually woke (and I intend the old definition of that word - I think it should be retaken by those of us that desire a sociopolitically aware citizenry).

    We’re just watching our blatantly broken and backward system do its thang. Proven rapist, adulterer, reality tv star, con man, liar, and all-around garbage human being gets kid gloves/lord and saviour treatment, while progressive anti-billionaire leaning former marine oyster farmer, with a questionable tattoo, an edgy social media past, and maybe cheated on his wife gets lambasted and crucified by what is all at this point essentially state run or just heavily for profit media.
