  • Idk, kind of feels appropriate that the White House pages should post like the President would. Not just the filtered PR responses. Some people might wake up to how ridiculous it is. If even one person realizes how idiotic the President must be for those types of posts then it’s a win as far as I’m concerned.

    The cult members will believe whatever anyway no matter what is posted, but if even one person wakes up to the reality it’s a win.





  • I had been considering upgrading, my current 4 bay Synology is physically full and running out of storage space. Moving that to a larger Synology box and adding drives would be easiest, basically plug and play.

    But now instead I’ll probably just switch to a more traditional NAS instead. Run TrueNAS, or maybe give HexOS a look. If I’m going to have to convert from my current proprietary Synology filesystem anyway I might as well rebuild from scratch. As it is I’ve shifted all the services off the Synology and Docker to a dedicated Proxmox box.




  • US Senators generally get what they want with these types of things, especially when they visit in person. They’re direct representatives of the Legislative Branch of the US government, and have as much, if not more control than the Executive Branch (when they are actually doing their job).

    Telling a Senator no, in person, generally isn’t something you do unless you don’t have another choice. Like if the person they want to talk to is actually dead but you have been saying they’re alive.




  • They’re all going to say they’re new hires and weren’t educated about any limitations.

    DOGE isn’t technically new, that requires Congressional approval, Trump just renamed The US Digital Service, a little known department tasked with digital modernization formed after the Obamacare website issues. Then he let Musk do whatever the fuck he wanted with it.

    I doubt there’s a single USDS employee still there, meaning everyone would have to be new hires with less than 4 months there.


  • You don’t have to be smart when you’re born with a silver spoon like most of these fucks are.

    Notice that the actual first generation wealthy aren’t the vocally supportive ones. It’s the generationally wealthy, the ones that didn’t actually make the break into wealth, the ones lucky enough to be born into it.

    There’s a few exceptions, but they’re the ones advocating most vocally for the heinous shit, not just the money making shit.


  • My formerly happy in-group had a former army medic and current RN that fully supported all the crazy Republican COVID bullshit, while actively seeing those “treatments” do absolutely nothing at her job every fucking day.

    Not all doctors and nurses are smart just because they graduated. Like with any job that requires a lot of memorization, some people memorize well but can’t actually problem solve in the real world beyond it. You’d think a former Army Medic and Trauma RN wouldn’t fall for that shit, yet there she is to this day still.
