Technically the ruling was for ~~crimes~~ official acts he committed while in office.

He's no longer president and holds no privilege, except being the Republican nominatee for President. Which apparently is a protected class.

Did I miss something? What Republican plan? I've always heard that it's Two Weeks™ away from being released.

I can only speak for myself and my experience as a former Christian.

For many actually devout Christians, as in Christians who not only read the Bible but do their best to follow its teachings, would probably not believe it if someone went around and said he was Jesus. so regardless of what he said. It's kind of like Half Life 3: they have an "image" of who Jesus is and he would look like an Arab, not the white hippie that we're all used to seeing.

The Christian Right uses religion as a way to justify their behavior, primarily their hatred. They don't call it hatred. They call it God's Love(tm).

These are the assholes who hold up signs saying whatever is immoral because of some random verse in the Bible, as if that should somehow convince people that it's right.

They read Jesus' message for love and understanding and say, "Oh, that's nice! I do that everyday with the people I love!" 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

But then they read Paul's letters about judgment and casting people out and see that as "Well, if I don't agree with you, it must mean I have to do this to you!"

Again, it's not about what the Bible says. It's about what they use it for. They use it to feel good about themselves and to exert their power over others under the guise of Christian Love.

They are blind to it because they don't see their hypocrisy. They are, in fact, pharisees.

On the one hand, it's a multi-million dollar campaign for President of the United States.

On the other hand, their target audience is not going to give one flying FUCK that the picture is wrong.

In that case I'd point them to your fork with a link to the PR where they maintainer chose not to include it.

Same with me. I asked upfront if they would accept a PR for a minor change. I described the issue in detail and my proposed fix.

He said sure.

I made the PR.

Same guy comments, "Wtf do you need this for?! We already have X solution with Y features."

I reply back, "Because Y doesn't cover Z use case, which is what I need it for."

The issue was closed without further comment.

Trump is just the fucking symptom. He's terrible but nothing compared to the foaming at the mouse acolytes he has.

We need to make it impossible for this to ever happen again. I just don't see this happening without another civil war.

My company painted it as "We're keeping the janitors and the cafeteria staff employeed!"

Which I get. But if you really cared that much, couldn't you just...pay them to not come in?

Of course not! We employees of Fortune 500 companies use Google Sheets to manage critical data.

It's in the cloud, that's how you know it's good.

(I'm not even joking....our VP said this)

You really underestimate his voters

Absolutely nothing in the constitution bars a felon or a prisoner from running for President or even holding a federal office. The Farmers believed that the electorate would be smart enough not to vote for an obvious agent of an enemy of the state.

Do you think AI is supposed to be useful?!

Its sole purpose is to generate wealth so that stock prices can go up next quarter.
