I think you’re assigning a level of intelligence that Trump simply doesn’t have here. He’s absolutely not planning for anything more than 10 seconds ahead. He’s got a list of people he knows will do anything he says and he’s installing them wherever with no rhyme or reason.

The national security risk is why she was picked, hope that helps writers at the Atlantic.

I like how Trump yelled about never before seen levels of voter fraud in PA and not a single journalist is gonna follow up on that after he stopped complaining because he won. Shouldn’t we be asking what he knows?

Not quite. It’s largely because a manager decided that an important metric for Google to be better at was “how much time users spend on the results page” which turns out you can game by just making the results worse so users have to stay there longer. Management made a decision to focus on metrics that are counter to what users would actually want because… well, here’s a better article that explains it:

And only 2 of them ever voted. Literally more likely to have ballots lost in the mail than to have people who aren’t supposed to vote sneak through.

Bold of you to assume Trump knows how to write and the letter was at all legible.

Per the article, the exploit was fixed back in July. Weird to continue to use present tense to describe an exploit that doesn’t exist anymore.

The Montana Republican Party paid for the Greens to gather signatures in 2020 to help them try to spoil Dem votes, so this is nothing new for Montana. The republicans there are known for funding spoiler candidates and those candidates are just happy to be getting money at all.

I would agree if it wasn’t coming from a cop, the only person legally empowered to murder you and get away with it.

It’s different coming from someone who has the authority to act on that “your life is of low value” statement.

Ford is the worst offender (and more specifically the one who does electric SUVs) but the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Dodge Hornet are gas/hybrid SUVs that reused nameplates from sportier coupes on an SUV. I suspect the Honda Prologue might’ve been the Prelude at some point but that’s just a guess. At least that one didn’t get a reused name.

I am begging automakers to stop putting classic sports car names on gigantic electric SUVs. Use literally any other names.

Yes I’m sure the 7-11 cashier would love for me to try this.
