""Sit and do nothing because if we do something and it fails that's much worse voterwise than if we do something and it works is a benefit.""
This is true of any politically charged environment. Ever try to get anything done in a corporation where everyone from the top down is fighting and wrangling for power? Super slow....and something is always left on the table to rot.
Fuck the judicial "branch" and their rewriting of laws. They have no place and no value in our society. Lame ducks.
They are supposed to be independent but they are extremely cognizant of and affected by political circumstances....and because they are "independent"--just like the Federal Reserve--they are very careful about what they get themselves involved in because they do not want the people looking at them or questioning the value of those institutions (which means they lose power).
TLDR; Judicial branch will only make controversial decisions/rulings if it feels they can politically survive them. Useless.
We had about 40 house members leave. Some of which admitted afterwards that they were not in touch with their constituents as the main reason they basically got thrown out of Washington by Trump.
"especially those who still think he does a good job."
Good things are happening but they appear to be in spite of Trump or accidental. Perhaps that is his genius....appearing stupid and crazy. It throws people off and makes it easy to "win" deals.
You mean achievements like everybody having access to food and education without propaganda? What about global political unification and disarmament? Perhaps we could just stop fielding standing armies first?
Your reach for accomplishments is akin to adding features when your shit is riddled with bugs.
Can you imagine meeting alien life and them finding out that we still have people living in the mud and drinking shit water back on Earth? What an accomplishment!
Then you have top figure out how to keep the human body from collapsing into a quivering pile of goo by hanging out in zero gravity for more than a few months.
Some of our best and brightest go into space for a few months to return debilitated or essentially injured for life. People have been watching way too many space movies. It isn't going to work out unless you simulate or generate localized gravity. If we pull that off I doubt exploring pace will be our first concern.
The majority of Americans also voted for Hillary. So.....
Just think, had the orange baboon not been elected we would still have those 40 house members (lifers) that left Washinton in disgust. Good things can happen with a bull in a china shop.
Legal trick? How do you get screwed if you have a contract that states explicitly what you get? If you do not have that contract...don't count on a fucking dime. I saw a deal recently where everyone promised shares was screwed because the company was sold for less than the stated base valuation. Some people had put in money and lost it all. The owners/founders did OK though.
Microsoft bought GitHub so all the "not Microsoft weenies" would allow themselves to use Git in an enterprise. A lot of them will figure out another way to restrict themselves though--due to cognitive dissonance.
Microsoft is going to be THE FOSS community in a few years. I really don't get where people are coming from. As soon as "ol' sweaty" was retired the company took an abrupt turn for the good and has been getting better every day. Ballmer was a cancer which has now been cured.

Put the knife down.. Don't do it!
Fuck innovation. I'm going to Washington!
Unlike the McRib, "really liking," wanting, or hoping are not going to materialize a reformed government for you.
This. Just wait until Netflix subscribers experience a few bufferings per show on a consistent basis. Political heads will roll.

Mod this shit up!
Nah. But he sure would have given us an elegant teleprompter speech to make us feel good about the round-ups.
If you do not have somewhere to run you have to stand and fight. "Helping" people with their civil wars is not helping anything.
Team R just had their ass handed to them by Trump. So that's a start. Oh shit...so did Team D.

You should hit the road with this.
Same reason they believe most of what they read; especially if it has quotes around it.

....and the community thanks you for leaving.

This is good for everyone. Developer FUD not required.
“Now, I have gone back to normal everyday fake plastic life.”
Did you read it? Perhaps if you spent the time to educate yourself it would stop looking like just another wall of text.
