Minimally educated, intellectually lazy polymath. I read good. I just don't want to.

Sure, but Chinese spies generally don't announce they are Chinese spies. A Congressman was banging a CCP spy and the nation collectively shrugged. A Congressman on the House's intelligence committee.

The question is, did he do anything illegal while banging her? Did, upon being informed she was a spy, he continue banging her? Did he refuse to cooperate with U.S. authorities to put a stop to her spying?

If not, then why is HIS company, that HE built up from nothing, that HE has led through explosive growth to be taken away from him by board members who have contributed far less to HIS company?

@wangbangpro @KobeissiLetter No. I was specific. Cheating on her was a scummy thing to do.

@exjon One failed CEO seduction doesn't undo all the other successful ones. The moniker stays.

I really hate this. Yes, Jensen was scum for cheating on his wife. Yes, this is a stain upon his character. Yes, his indiscretion is temporarily extending to perception of NVIDIA as a result of bad news cycles.

But NVIDIA is his. He built it. He led it from nothing to what it is. The board are clingers-on, siphoning off power and money from what he has manifested. They can go screw themselves, as far as I'm concerned.

This is why I can't envision a scenario in which I would take public a business I build, or operate it under any organization structure where a board has this kind of authority. That's all a short-term money and investment play, and the money isn't worth having blood-sucking leeches standing around, ready to stab you in the back because the stonk was down the first quarter of the quarter's quarter and there's blood in the water.

His shitty behavior should be punished. By his wife. She should give serious consideration to divorcing his ass, taking half his shares, and making his life hell as a new board member.

"Yes, Jensen. Good pitch. Do that. Stay out of those Chinese state-sponsored whores we all know you're so fond of and peddle that magic sand. I have several young, attractive boy-toys to sugar-mama with all this money you're making me. And I'm not messing with those Chinese models, like you. I am fond of the frontier American models. Jamal in particular has an enormous schwanzstucker. Now, go sell silicon to nerds. My hot yoga isn't going to pay for itself."

The board should shut their mouths and count all the money his creation and time has made them. His wife should nail his hide to the wall.

@LeaderJohnThune Good. Where the fuck has this energy been for two years?

[Kit Shicker @Kit_Shicker]

Where the absolute fuck have you lot been? Murder, kidnapping, and gang rape in Haiti? Silence. El Salvador getting their kidnapped citizens back and splattering some of the murderers, kidnappers, and rapists in the process? Pearl clutching and deeply concerned statements of useless virtue signaling.

Go away.

@hughhewitt @LeaderThune @SenateGOP Saying Thune isn't responsible for the wipeout is irrelevant. It's leadership selection time. His first two years as leader were characterized by a shocking squandering of opportunity and filled with gaslighting we the voters.

Why is he the best choice for the next two years?

[Kit Shicker @Kit_Shicker]

@hughhewitt @LeaderThune @SenateGOP Okay. Convince me. Don't just call me dumb. Please, pitch Thune's qualifications and accomplishments that make him the best choice. Please, explain why the dismal performance of the Senate these last two years is in keeping with the purpose of the Senate and the Constitution.

Either this comes with no voting rights too, or this is a spectacularly bad idea.

If you want progressive taxation, fine. I despise it, but fine. Let's accept that for this moment. It is still vital that people have skin in the game. You need people who wield power - and in a republic like ours, the people wield power - to have their fates intertwined with the decisions.

Do you have more care, respect, and obligation to your own car, or to the cheap rental car?

Expending resources needs to hurt, because resources are finite and must be managed carefully. Every time the government decides to spend money, EVERYONE needs to feel it in the pocketbook to some extent. It is a restraining force against unsustainability.

@SenateGOP Oh, that would be a refreshing change. First time for everything!

The U.S. Coast Guard really is an awesome organization. They often get overshadowed by other awesome organizations, and shouldn't.

A bunch do crazy raids on narcotics traffickers (and worse). Seriously, watch some of their videos boarding narco submarines as they start submerging beneath them. Wild!

Others spend their days moving heaven and earth to find people in the middle of absolute nowhere, on one of the worst days of their life, and pull off masterful rescue operations, often involving impressive flying in terrible weather conditions, or at the end of impossible distance, like this.

One of the many privileges of being an American citizen is having the U.S. Coast Guard kicking ass on your behalf every day and night, and having them backing you up if your day goes to hell on or near the water.

Six weeks ago, the captain of a Japanese container ship was hit by severe abdominal pain in the North Pacific. The nearest U.S. rescue helicopter was more than 1,000 miles away.

His ship, the One Majesty, was 58 miles south of Adak, Alaska. He was 58 years old and he needed a hospital.

There was no hospital. There was ocean in every direction.

The U.S. Coast Guard in Kodiak launched an MH-60 Jayhawk anyway.

A thousand miles is Tampa to New York. No helicopter flies that in one hop.

So the Jayhawk hopped down the Aleutian Islands, refueling at Dutch Harbor and again at Adak.

That solved the fuel. It did not solve the crew. Nobody should fly a thousand miles through Aleutian weather and then hold a hover over a moving ship.

So the Alaska Air National Guard sent an HC-130J. It carried a fresh Coast Guard helicopter crew and two pararescuemen out to Adak to take over.

And if that one helicopter broke down out there?

A second Jayhawk flew to Cold Bay just to stand by.

The fresh crew flew the last 58 miles over open water with the HC-130J watching from above. They lowered the hoist to the deck and lifted the captain off.

Back at Adak he was moved onto the HC-130J and flown to Anchorage.

Two Coast Guard helicopters. One Air Guard rescue plane. A relief crew. Two pararescuemen. More than a thousand miles.

All of it for one Japanese sailor none of them had ever met.

From Japan: we saw this. Thank you.

bro Japan goes HARD LOL

[Kit Shicker @Kit_Shicker]

@LibertyCappy LMFAO! I had no idea where that was going. I didn't expect it to land so perfectly.

@RapidResponse47 @SecMullinDHS Uh huh. The choice in language here is backpedaling, and the rest of this interview that you didn't post is a trainwreck.
