Just because handcuffung is normal in the USA, that doesnt make it normal or sensible. No one gets cuffed in a normal traffic stop or house visit in the UK for example.

The video will be produced by Sinclair Media and even math will include a polemic about how awful socialism is and how great Trump is.

That's not neither, it's one of the options.

I see what you did there.

When Trump goes, the rest will tear each other to shreds. As insane as he is, he's the figure who's holding it together. Like a fat gormless toad sitting on a stone in the middle of the pond.

As an outsider to American politics, I predict a (temporary) collapse in support for the Republican party the minute he's ousted.

Never forget the time Shapiro got angry and confused in a softball interview with British right winger Andrew Neil and stormed out.

I highly recommend skipping to the end if you haven't seen it:

It's a mystery to me how these people get taken seriously at all.

What's the best way to restrict my Android devices to only use approved apps? I want to manage the whitelist remotely.

Bonus points if I can keep everything in-house, on my home server or similar via my existing VPN.

Obama never had a supermajority. He got close but peaked at 59 senators in the senate and one in hospital. One shy of 60 is not enough.

Linux has built in drivers for most shit with no account necessary. Logitech (for example) has a third party app called Solaar that does everything Logitechs own crappy mouse/keyboard software does.

Getting away from the endless hassle of popups and drivers was my biggest motivation for switching to Linix way back in 2008.

A British politician once failed to show up for a panel show and they replaced him with a literal tub of lard. For the whole thirty minutes.

It seems fitting for Trump.

Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse”

Great, my money is good to go. I'll pay big for something that's easy to keep clean and doesn't have that horrible sticky rubber after a few years.

that requires a subscription

I'm out.

Just for context, this is in the UK so the officer WILL be prosecuted and punished accordingly.

It is worth noting that other officers at the scene had a broken nose and other injuries before this happened. It doesn't excuse what he does but there's certainly a lot more to the story here.
