So do I George but I can’t find anyone to pay to write about it .

Of course because they don’t like being held to estimates and deadlines.

…and when you agree to run it Agile, which calls for closer and continual communications with the users, the first thing they want is a rep to do it for them .

So my thing is, the “deep state” for want of a better word, ultimately won’t let Trump and his backers wreck 70 years of American hegemony since WWII.

Iraq, the Cold War, the coups, assassinations a d sanctions throughout South America, all the bases in the Philippines and around the South China…. It all took a a lot of work.

I’d be surprised if America lets that go.

If you look at what going on in terms of countries moving away from US - nothing has really happened yet. Countries that don’t buy arms and oil from the US, or don’t give the US preferential access to their resources, have historically been awarded a regime change, or worse .

If we look beyond the hoohar, they actually trying to get Zelensky out now, in favour of someone more obedient. That will just sign away resources for a cease fire .

The French would already have shutdown the airports, blockaded highways and lit a fire under Paris.

Yep. I basically wear rags around the house for this reason.

Understood .

I’m sad to see Firefox moving in this direction - it difficult to deny any more - but I don’t like the drama causing everyone to dump it like it’s a virus !

Interesting metaphor.

At what point is too late ? What the consequences here, of giving it a few days? Of understanding to steps you can take protect your data ?

Because what you have now, is a bunch of idiots, running round yelling “Firefox is untrustworthy “. And jumping straight on the next fork of 20 million lines of code, because Internet bro says it’s better .

They havent the faintest, and I mean the faintest idea of what trust is,

The way people are running around yelling about the sky falling in, We could use Occams Guillotine of Truth I think.

“Yes sir, just pop your head there, and all will be revealed “

Just amazing how people wake up, watch a bit of YouTube and run to social media saying the sky is falling in.

Show me evidence. Anything will do.

Because I feel, strongly, that 99% of people here have got nothing but memes and YouTube. And that’s not evidence.

You’ve made a very big claim in saying he’s “Trump has always worked for Russia in one way or another”, so I invite you, beg you, to show me something that backs that up.

You will notice, that NO ONE has offered anything - despite the bullying and the name calling,

You must understand this is not personal. But I am desperate to understand why people prefer the idea of a foreign boogie man running things, than the evidence on public record of the American s than run Donald Trump and what they want.

I’ve never seen starmer smile so much .

How about sticking to the topic ?

Democracies everywhere breathe a sigh of relief.

Edit: are the downvotes are because I didn’t say thank you to the American people. ?

You should read back what you’ve written . It’s one step away from saying they are lizard people. Read a book and get a wellness check.

Look at the story you are writing for yourself .

Even if it’s all true, you’ve now reached the point where you’ve rejected the idea Trump is controlled by the American men who fund him, fund the GOP and control all the machinery necessary to get him elected as President of the USA - all of which has documentary evidence on the public record - and instead you prefer the idea that Trump is controlled by Russia because Elon Musk’s mother has dinner with dignitaries in Beijing.

One of those stories requires a lot more imagination than the other. That’s all I’m saying .

Russia said there was one phone call, 3 years ago.

Is that connected ?

What does that means ?

Yes - I don’t necessarily disagree. Trump is a sleaze bag and would certainly have been a target . And dare I say a fairly soft one.

It’s not ridiculous to imagine him being comprised, but I do prefer what we know ie. He’s a sleaze bag, easily controlled by the psychopaths who recognised him as the man they could a) get into power b) control with the ease that people are attributing to Putin.

Those psychopaths being Mercer, Mellon, Thiel, Musk, and even the Kochs I think.

And I don’t think those guys would do what they have done with Trump , if he was a Russia asset.

Indeed they can, but that wouldn’t be giving much credit to Mercer, Thiel, Musk, Adelson, Mellon , the Rockbridge network, Ellison etc .

I don’t think they would have backed a man controlled by Russia . I think they would have done due diligence. I credit them with the sense to do that.

Forgive me, is your position that Trump is a Russian asset, or not ?
