Please don't ask me for a source because I don't have one, but I distinctly remember reporting about Pence being warned not to trust any unfamiliar secret service agents, and refusing to get into a car after the riot began because he did not recognise the driver.

Edit: Found a source:

After being taken to an undisclosed portion of the Capitol during the riot, Pence's Secret Service agents, whom Raskin suspected were reporting directly to Trump's security detail, asked him to enter an armored limousine. The intent, some have theorized, was to drive Pence away from the building, preventing him from certifying the election results, after he had signaled his unwillingness to go against his duties and keep Trump in power.

[...]

"I'm not getting in the car, Tim," Pence said, in response to Giebels' insistence that he enter the armored vehicle. "I trust you, Tim, but you're not driving the car. If I get in that vehicle, you guys are taking off. I'm not getting in the car."

Basically in his role as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (a council of the different military branches) he called his Chinese counterpart during the election chaos to assure them Trump couldn't unilaterally declare war on China:

Woodward and Costa describe how Milley learned in October 2020 that the Chinese had become concerned that Trump would preemptively attack China because Trump was losing the 2020 election and his rhetoric against China was growing increasingly hostile.

Milley again called his Chinese counterpart on Jan. 8, 2021, two days after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, to again reassure him that the American government was stable and not an immediate threat to China.

It's not exactly the best UX I have seen in my life, but you can enter firefox -P in a terminal or you can open the about:profiles page to start a window with another profile.

Well probably. After all the permanent members of the UN security council released a joint statement that nuclear war would be bad (sic) roughly two month before the invasion of Ukraine began. With the clarity of hindsight it looks a lot like everybody knew what was going to happen and they wanted to reassure each other.

Nothing, I'd just like a nice GUI around it.

Well like uzay said, basically just an office GUI that allows me to import/export into a lot of formats and automates document versioning away.

Haha, kind of. However conversion between all these formats is lossy in some directions and I don't know of any software that integrates version control of documents by default (not saying there are none).

P.S.: Yes I know, https://xkcd.com/927/

Quarto looks quite interesting indeed, thanks for pointing it out!

For those interested it's an "Open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc"

Like a data format inhabiting the centre of that conversion graph they have on their website, basically a superset of the available input types, that is then version controlled by git, and can be exported to any of the output formats, in a neat frontend that removes all that complexity from me. :D

Shameless plug for Pandoc because I love it

That scalable vector graphic on the page shows source document type on the left and target type on the right. TL;DL: It converts about two dozen document types into about three dozen document types.

P.S.E.G.: PDF ← Markdown ←→ HTML → PDF

P.P.S: Where are my manners? Image transcription added to post.

It’s hard to make these cases like Oz because he knows exactly how to skirt the law, and even before congress had to admit these are just beliefs.

Heh, you reminded me of that one time where Fox News lawyers argued in court that nobody in their right mind could believe Tucker Carlson was relaying actual news... and apparently succeeded with that line of argument.
