He's insufferable.

“If I could vote, I would have voted for Trump,” he says. “He’s the strongest president when it comes to Cuba.”

This dude is married to an American citizen, worked at a Christian school, and will be in a Cuban prison cell in less than 30 days' time.

But he would still vote for Trump if he could.

“In my opinion these are victims just like January 6,” Martin said.

The law only binds the enemies of the administration.

In my experience, extreme wealth is a sign of one or more of: inherited wealth, lack of morality, lack of empathy, lack of humility, lack of self-reflection, or luck. In most cases these people are simply so broken that they'll justify exploiting other people to get what they want in ways that people with morals simply refuse to.

Intelligence isn't a major factor.

Also they're willing to spend millions of dollars on a dinner like this because what's the downside? Losing that money won't affect their lifestyle in any way. Worst-case scenario, they get a story out of it. Best-case scenario, they get face time with the most powerful person on the planet and maybe a sympathetic ear if they get in trouble with the law (since all of them are privately breaking the law in some way).

If it's too hard, he should fucking resign.

Signed, Also someone who's had a stroke

Facial recognition has important roles—for example, finding lost or displaced children.

Now: "But what about the children?" Next: Vague child safety or terrorism justification to deploy this everywhere

This is a shitty take. Fetterman sucks all on his own, with or without the stroke.

I like how "REAL ID" is always in all-caps so it sounds increasingly sarcastic and incredulous

"Apparently a REAL ID is not valid anymore. He has a REAL ID," his cousin Shelah Venegas said. "We all made sure we have the REAL ID and went through the protocols the administration is asking for. ... He has his REAL ID and then they see him and I guess because his English isn't fluent and/or because he's brown it's fake, it's not real."

Apple is the third richest company on the planet. Sometimes first, sometimes second. They didn't get there by shining shoes.
