I'll be cynical, his job is to get elected. The way that has traditionally worked is by making constituents happy.

He is failing at that job because he'll be primaried in his next election.

As minority leader, his job is to become majority leader. Again, traditionally, by making the nation happy with the party. He's failing there because right now everyone (other than consultants) hates his fecklessness. Which is a major drag on the Democrat party.

Senators need to show some backbone and oust him as minority leader, he's failing miserably. They are failing by playing nice with this loon.

ICE is assaulting citizens. They shouldn't even have tear gas and pepper spray. It's not their job to do crowd control. That's the job of the local pd or national guard.

It's all to move for another seat. She's politically savvy. She'll run for Gov or president or to be a VP pick. Building distance from today's MAGA is just a calculated move to make her look more moderate.

I had that recently. The call and meeting "here's x, can you do x?" Me: "yes".

Was a bit crazy.

She's going to run for Gov of GA. She needs to moderate to get that position.

This is where if police departments wanted to gain credibility, they'd be arresting the ICE agents for assault with a deadly weapon.

Qualified immunity has a "reasonableness" portion to it. It's a pretty strong argument that ICE isn't being reasonable if a cop arrests them for assaulting a cop.

Yup, these are death camps. There's a reason they've illegally kept the doors closed to Democrat representatives.

Gentoo, everything else is for plebs

I suspect we may be seeing more of this. Whether or not it adds up to anything, IDK. Trump is fucking up business with his dipshit moves like tariffs and attacking Powell.

No rich person in the US likes tariffs, they also don't like economic instability and inflation. Trump putting in a crony that lowers the interest rates to -1% will cause severe problems in the economy.

Powell has by and large been pretty competent in his job. He was perhaps a bit slow on lowering interest rates but not in an indefensible manner.

Realistic? No. But that doesn't really matter to the Nazis. Any plausible excuse will be used.

This is literally the only time they believe in "innocent until proven guilty"

The memory layout for windows is going to be different than it is under linux. A bad module could still be causing chaos but it might only really be affecting the RDP server rather than firefox.

For CPU, can depend on how you are configured. If you haven't gone through the work of getting your power usage settings under control, linux likes to run the CPU clock frequency at 100% all the time rather than letting it ramp down. The two OSes also ultimately have different scheduling schemes which could be causing linux to put more pressure on various cores than what windows does.

Same hardware or different hardware? This sounds like a hardware issue.

An app getting stuck like that is indicative of GPU/memory problems. Possibly the CPU overheating.

Memtest would be in order to see if your memory is bad.
