Don't forget...those phones are made in the USA. Never mind there is basically only one US producer of phones in reality - Purism. And they STILL have to source some of their parts from overseas. We won't even mention the $1999 price tag - far away from what the Trump phone is selling for...

As an LEO, it is a known part of the job. If you can't deal with that aspect, it's better that you find another field of endeavor. Pulling the trigger on a sack of shit is part of the job. I have no issues with discussing it. I was fully justified and have no need to "excuse" myself...

Standard Trump administration process. It's why they have almost ZERO trust amongst other countries for standing behind their word.

Standard Trump practice. Why do you think his associated companies have gone bankrupt so many times... it's because they don't know how business really works if it is outside their "safe-zone">

Trump runs from the G7 meeting.. because he knows he can't handle the heat and he doesn't have the testicular fortitude to try to defend his lies.

Actually, in typical Trump dysfunctional government, that is now apparently reversed. Seems all the Chiefs can't agree on what they think their Golden God wants.

For about 1/2 my working career. Got out of it after shooting someone and transferred into IT, which had been a long time hobby for me with my computer playing and running a multi-node FidoNet BBS.

Neither. I enjoy being retired. But in affect, since I run sites (but no income from them) and do outreach I guess you could say I "work from home". During a large portion of my career my "office" was mounted on 4 wheels and had red and blue lights mounted on it. 🚓

It's been known his name has been in them. Just so far no proven association with the younger crowd.

They won't do anything until after the mid-terms and they can see if the Democrats gain control (and it will have to be substantial control) of both houses. So, Trump and his merry band if idiots will continue to be Trump and his merry band of idiots, violation the Constitution and various laws...

Folks here in the US... you want a real wake-up call? Then here is a major one. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Fiscal-Year-2026-Discretionary-Budget-Request.pdf From the head idiot in chief and his tiny sycophants. Personally... I don't visit many National parks as we...

If you were using a "web based" proxy solution that does not surprise me. As long as the ASN is not registered to another country and shows US, it should work on any personally created VPN fine. It's easy enough to detect and block/control the paid VPN offerings as most of their IP...

Why waste that much money on AWS? Find a cheap $5 a month VPS in a country that is supported and install OpenVPN on it. In fact, several of the VPS providers I have used have an already configured VPN image that you can install.

If the evidence is without doubt (say body cam or video of the action taking place) then I have no issues with the death penalty. Where I have issues is with heavy use of so-called "scientific evidence". We have a case of that going on right now here in Texas...

What some do not realize is that global warming can result in ice buildup (especially in the Antarctic) because the ice melts and then freezes at lower temps than the salt water does since it is purer water. It is an interesting phenomena.
