But, they didn't post that. With the mountain of actual lies and stupid stuff we can talk about when talking about Trump and his butt-lickers, we do not and should not post lies. Let's not bend down to their level, please.

I think that image is a lie. -- It's not formatted as a tweet would be -- I looked on their X feed and could not find the tweet -- There are real scientists that work at that department - They know better The U.S. Department of Energy certainly posts some dumb and crazy shit to kiss Trump's butt.

Trump almost has his dictatorship. Trump gets to torture and terrorize other humans in his concentration camps Trump gets to harm and kill other humans with impunity Now, trump has his slaves. What is he missing?

Perhaps. I'm not going to sacrifice my family's or my health and happiness. The point of all this is to enhance our lives and the lives of our descendants. We protest when we can; we phone our Representatives and Senators often; we write often. If that's not good enough for some, too bad, so sad.

Please excuse my ignorance. If a person is illegally in this country, why not just deport them? Why go to all the expense and effort to torture them in a concentration camp? Is that the end goal here? For magas to get their jollies from torturing people?
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Perhaps I'm not very observant and people registering voters were there. But, maybe they weren't there. If Indivisible wasn't registering voters at the protests, shouldn't we start?
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social)
@indivisiblennv.bsky.social I've participated in two Indivisible sponsored protests, now (there will be more). One in Reno, one in Carson City. In both protests I did not see a voter registration table or anyone walking around registering voters.

Do press corps fear for their job? (I do not have any answers)

Exactly! What is up with our press corps? What are they afraid of? It's the job of our press corps to find and report on the truth regardless of the pain it causes. They are there to bring honesty. The press corps are failing miserably.

More Proof that magas aren't conservatives is: Trump flip-flops on a daily basis (I put tariffs on you, I don't put tariffs on you;l I don't support Ukraine, I support Ukraine; and more, of course). Since the maga thought-leader flip-flops, flip-flopping is ok now.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social)
Remember when conservatives whined about flip-flopping?
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
That's part of it too.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
The first time I heard Trump talk about tariffs was in the 1980s. But now, he has the Project 2025 folks, his family, other magas, and his donors to egg him on. The stock trades of those folks is what we need to watch. And his ego -- The tariffs on Brazil is all about ego. Hurting the US be damned.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
You are correct and thanks for the laugh.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
I am convinced that this whole tariff roller coaster has nothing to do with consumers, nothing to do with US producers, and everything to do with Trump's ego and wallet. Follow the money. Who has bought and sold stocks and benefitted by on/off tariffs?
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
A few days ago, magas were complaining about groomers. Here we have Trump and Epstein. Both pedophiles -- You know, "groomers?" Of course, magas used to complain about the deficit. Here we have Trump and his Big Ugly Bill. The list of hypocritical stances goes on and on.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Fighting terrorism is something the President should be doing. It's something Trump should do, but doesn't. He's too busy fighting Musk, and O'Donnell, and normal citizens. He has you completely fooled.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Finding joy in killing is a symptom of a problem with your brain that can be fixed. Seek help. Why are magas so uninformed? Your Obama post left out information. Specifically that those 4 citizens were working with al-Qa’ida in terrorism against the U.S.

Or perhaps, it's better to just stay focused on the topic at hand. You can always start your own thread.

Still the original topic was Apple.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
There is no context here. While it's cute that magas feel the need to go all the way back to Obama, we were discussing the kerfuffle between Trump & Rosie O'Donnell. Why stop with Obama? Let's set the Wayback machine to the mid-1980s. There's plenty of bad Reagan did that we're paying for now.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Your absolutely right. I make that kind of decision all the time. But I mentioned if items 1 - 3 were equal then 4 matters. Given two high quality routers, I'll choose to save the $20.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't understand the connection. We were discussing consumer routers. UniFi/Ubiquity is big in the enterprise where their main competitor is Cisco.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't understand. Given the same level on items 1 - 3, folks will mostly go for the cheapest. (the whole free market thing) That idea tosses aside brand loyalty, but if the price difference is enough, even brand loyalty doesn't matter.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump is and Epstein was a pedophile. Now maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but weren't all magas screeching about groomers? Nope -- I wasn't thinking wrong. They were making as much noise as they could -- Most of the time they were incorrect as usual. Where's all your noise now, magas?
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
In order for a Router company to succeed, their router must: 1. Be high quality 2. Support all the current standards 3. Be as small as possible 4. Be cheaper than other routers that meet the 3 specs above Apple is certainly capable of items 1-3, but #4??? That's not in Apple's DNA.

Every protestor should run for President? Don't you think that's just a bit unrealistic. Heck, don't you think that is entirely unrealistic?

The differences between Rosie O'Donnell and Trump: - O'Donnell is a private U.S. citizen - Trump is supposed to be the U.S. President - O'Donnell is acting like a private U.S. citizen - Trump is not acting like the U.S. President

It is acceptable for law enforcement to be in a hospital if they're in need of care, are bringing someone in, or are visiting a patient. Ice Goons should not be in a hospital to intimidate people -- This is unamerican.

Now, here's a delima we'll be seeing in real time: The United Farm Workers are talking about a strike. They, of all people, have a need to strike. The gotcha is that farm workers tend to live hand-to-mouth and can't afford prolonged periods without pay. I don't have the answers here.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Strikes absolutely work. I've seen them in action from all 3 sides: The consumer, the striker, the management. I just think call the one-day thing a protest. Calling it a strike elicits laughter from management.

Mexico is helping in Texas because that's what decent people do. Current U.S. could learn a thing or two from this.

Net effect for the company? Not much at all. Net effect for those that rightfully saw the strike as nonsense? A whole bunch of laughter.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
For any kind of strike to work, it must be sustained over a length of time. The amount of time is much more than just one day. The Bud Light boycott is a classic case: A large number of folks stopped drinking Bud Light. In it's place they drank other beers also made by Anheuser-Bush.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
That's good in theory, but not very good in practice. A general strike also takes away from those striking. One-day strikes mean nothing aside from "they protested." Folks tend to stock up before the strike and make up after the strike.

I'm posting about individual politicians using individual parts of the Big Ugly bill: Congressman Mark Amodei (2nd District of Nevada) voted to cut Medicaid. This makes the lives of millions of seniors harder and more painful. How many seniors will die because of Congressman Mark Amodei's vote?
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, my hopes were dashed, but our fight is not over. Next stop? The midterms. We all should make use of this wonderful app: 5calls.org
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
You are absolutely right. Protesting is the first step and we should continue. It's a pretty safe bet that everyone here knew the Big Ugly Bill would pass. I, personally, was hoping the Senate would introduce even a modicum of sanity into the bill.

It's not soul satisfying, and you'll need to shower often, but if it saves SSA, it's worth it.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Next time you need to empty your gut, watch one of Trump's cabinet meetings. The boot licking is at epic levels during these meetings. So, saying, "You're a good boy, Donnie, now go away." might be what it takes. If I worked for the SSA, one of my top priorities would be to protect the SSA.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
That's why I don't think government agencies are smart to fight him in the open.
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
Can you imagine the pain, suffering, and death Trump can cause if he decides to gut SSA?
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm not quite sure how to take your comment. I do know that Trump caused the deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. As a result a lot of seniors are going have a hard time and a lot of seniors will die. The House Republicans are feckless boot lickers that will do his bidding as are those in the Senate.

Our U.S. government, at any level, should not have to operate like this, but here we are. Fellow frogs! We're boiling!
Steve Cooper (@sdmagic.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't disagree with you, but, on the possibility of pain issued by others, let me put this out there for consideration: Is it possible that the SSA just pushed the [GO AWAY DONNIE] button? That is play nice and fade into the background so he doesn't have an excuse to go after them?

The CBS lawsuit was all a grift for a buck or two. Trump lucked into jamming the gears on the Paramount/Skydance deal. The court date for the lawsuit is over a year away. The deal needs to happen now. So, they settle for 0.2% of the deal's value.

Questions to ask a Republican to watch them sputter: -- What has Trump done to improve the lives of teachers? -- What has Trump done to improve the lives of seniors? -- What has Trump done to improve the lives of students? It's quite amusing when you ask those questions.

Republicans care about 3 things: -- Reelection -- Donors donating to their campaigns -- Looking good at dinner parties That's it. They do not care about fiscal responsibility, America, average-earning citizens, or poor citizens. If you're not a rich, white, heterosexual male, you don't count.
