This. I have a mobile workstation with a 12th gen i7, 32gb RAM, and NVME SSD but it's not uncommon to be waiting multiple minutes for boot due to all the pre-installed spyware from IT. It takes up half the RAM at all times and severely limits the performance for many non-whitelisted apps to the point I can't even run Firefox smoothly on it anymore.

Genuine answer is likely that it's not intended to be permanent. It's designed to make him look good when ultimately removed and secure some support for conservative talking points around stopping drugs and immigration across the borders.

It also distracts from the major damage they're doing internally to the government via OPM which is much more difficult to reverse.

Good enough to run over all the liberal protestors!

Nobody wants to replicate or compete against the Cybertruck directly, but it is the first production car to implement several key technologies like steer by wire a 48v low voltage system rather than traditional 12v one. Tesla has had a lot longer to develop these than the competition, but ultimately Elon's stupid design and love affair with Trump mean Tesla won't succeed commercially from these innovations.

Exactly this Russia still has elections and an "opposition". You can still be in control without necessarily being in the presidential position just as Putin was while Prime Minister after running out of terms.

My biggest concern isn't martial law, it's the crazy gun-nuts on the other side drinking Trump's Kool-Aid while still flying their Trump 2024 flags on the back of their pickup trucks. They're itching to just run over a bunch of liberal protesters if several of my coworkers are anything to go by (I'm in a very red state).

At this point it's probably good if he continues with more tariffs. If these were all suddenly removed tomorrow his base would still believe he knows good economic policy. More tariffs will continue to hurt the economy decisively showing them how bad these isolationist policies are.

Obviously the economy will be hurt by tariffs, but that's the point and a worthwhile sacrifice for a sustained healthy economic policy in the future.

DC has tons of helicopters flying over all the time, many don't show on tracking systems since they're military so there's a crowdsourced one at map.copterspotter.com.

Let's just hope that we don't use that position to terrorize other nations further than we already have

Unfortunately that's not how a large portion of the population sees it. To many the economy a president inherits matters more than the state they leave it in.

No games here, I never have found them interesting for whatever reason. Because of this my laptop is a 2018 Chromebook with reflashed BIOS running Ubuntu. It has significantly less processing power than my phone but is plenty sufficient for everything I ever need a computer to do.

With the Trump appointed supreme court it definitely won't hold up, but maybe it could delay whatever meaningless charges he can come up with long enough for another election. If we're lucky enough to have another real election that is at least.
