If you think the fucking badass Secret Service of the United States, after keeping the first black president safe for 8 years in office without major incident, has now screwed up royally FOUR TIMES securing Trump?
You’re not real bright.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores after a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
After 30+ years of signing windows drivers, we have been locked out of driver signing like many other companies.
In a word, the disrespect and disregard with which MSFT is treating IHVs and ISVs is stunning.
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s because we didn’t read our emails or submit the right verification paperwork. Cuz we did all that back in October.
And this month, we were suddenly and without any warning locked out.
Support said they’d “do their best” to let us know “within 90 days” if we’re good enough to get back on.
In the meantime, many thousands of desktops and instruments are not being updated, cuz we can’t sign drivers.
Awesome job, Microsoft. Thanks.
Greenland is not “a poorly run piece of ice.”
Greenland is far more than ice — it is a democratic society with free elections, rule of law, and a people who determine their own future.
We are not a talking point in someone else’s rhetoric — we are a people with dignity, history, and self-government under the Kingdom of Denmark.
If true, this is operationally significant and, IMO, the correct moral stance for a nation that's both a democracy and subject to the rule of law. Both the B-1s and B-52s can rain 1000 lb and 2000 lb JDAMs & hit multiple aim points. And no, I'm not *rooting* for Iran; I just don't want to see America commit wanton war crimes. The British aren't stabbing us in the back; friends don't let friends drive drunk.
Excuse me Mr. President @potus@whitehouse but the Fuckin' Strait of Hormuz was Fuckin' Open for passage before you Fuckin' Started to engage in the bombing attack of Iran.
تیغ دادن دَر کَفِ زَنگیِ مَست
بِهْ که آیَد عِلم، ناکَس را به دَست
عِلم و مال و مَنصَب و جاه و قِران
فِتنه آمَد دَر کَفِ بَدگوهَران
مولانا مثنوی معنوی
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt
Mark Twain
One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.
These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.
