The Dems put Jack Smith, guy who prosecuted people at The Hague, in charge of going after Trump. Trump got out of it by a friendly judge interfering and bonkers Supreme Court decisions.
Genuinely shocking to me that this same crew of people have spent a decade trying to convince us that Dems are relentlessly fighting Trump and in fact couldn’t have fought harder, somehow including a period where Dems had total control of the government and their AG wouldn’t even prosecute him

It's genuinely wild that people think Donald Trump's senility grants him the power to transcend logistics. "Oh but they have a base there already & two ANG F-16s rotated in for an exercise!" Some radar technicians & a pair of 40 year old fighter jets is not an invasion force.
Let's save crashing out about Greenland until we actually see some movement from US assets that would indicate staging for an op. With a few hundred European troops and a couple warships already in theatre or imminently arriving, a clandestine SOF raid isn't going to cut it anymore.

![On April 29, 2025, approximately three months after the beginning of Trump's second term, Shri Thanedar announced his intention to impeach Trump, and on May 14, 2025, brought forward seven articles of impeachment,. arguing Trump has committed obstruction of justice, bribery and corruption. However, the motion has been condemned by other congressional Democrats. |121
On May 15, 2025, Al Green submitted articles of impeachment, in House Resolution 415.[13]
In June 2025, Elon Musk called for Trump to be impeached when he engaged in a public feud with Trump."14]
In early 2026, during the Greenland crisis, talks of impeachment renewed with Republican congressman Don Bacon predicting an invasion of Greenland would lead to the immediate
impeachment of Trump with Republican support.

A vital quality performance reporting system at one of my former companies was using a script I hacked together in Perl, Access, and VBA for years after I left
This was an improvement over the system that I was handed, where both the data and the code lived in an XLSM file

this is my response to like 99.9% of "LLMs can't write production-quality code" arguments. "production-quality code" is a mirage in virtually every workplace as far as I can tell. what works gets shipped.
If your engineering culture is such that changes can be merged that no one is accountable for, then you have way bigger problems than whether PRs are being generated using LLMs

this all boils down to "do all the work for me"
different people have different roles, its the role of an activist to get arrested blocking a building or whatever else, and anyone can be an activist
but that would require work so why isn't the Congressman doing that!

i mean, reporting has indicated that this decision was already made *for* him, all of this even-worse-than-usual behavior is him having a crashout tantrum because he isn’t getting what he wants and his emotional self-regulation is completely shredded and wasn’t good to begin with
I'm going to be among the folks going against the prevailing narrative On Here & say Trump really was ruling out using force in Greenland (or Iceland), he's just such a narcissistic crybully that he has to add a "but I totally woulda won if I used force!" (he would not) at the end to soothe his ego.
