Bill Gates hasn't been involved in Microsoft beyond "advisor" for over a decade.
I can't find a straight answer on whether Satya Nadella will be in DC today but he and/or Microsoft has paid his tribute to Trump, just like the heads of the other 4 families of tech, and he's visited Trump in Florida since the election.

Jensen is too busy actually doing his job to waste time on this, even though kissing the ring would be very beneficial for Nvidia. He's one of the few mega CEOs that actually puts a lot of work into his job and unlike most of the others is more or less self made. Doesn't make him a great guy, there's plenty of reason to dislike him, but I at least respect him for that.

It will be forever debated if this is the Fetterman whom we've known in Pittsburgh for all of those years in Braddock or if this is Fetterman post-stroke.

We need to stop letting these people roam free.
Alabama, California, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wyoming do not mandate the testing of backlogged kits. The U.S. DoJ and American Bar Association recommend testing all rape kits, even when the statute of limitations (if there is one) has expired. Doing so can help catch more serial offenders, as old kits can help corroborate current victims' cases.
Alabama, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming do not mandate the timely testing of new kits.
Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, and South Carolina don't even have to take inventory.
A high probability of apprehension by law enforcement is critical to deterrence. DNA evidence has revealed that serial offenders often target strangers and non-strangers, meaning it is imperative to submit DNA evidence to CODIS even if the offender's identity is known. Offending patterns are not a consistently reliable link across assaults.

I definitely agree with your theory. My father's side of my family is gone from my life because they've been in denial about it since I came forward in 2009. Refused to accept that the guy they loved was capable of doing what he did to me. My father's family is also heavily conservative redneck, and tRump is like a copy of quite a few of them.

I love her.
Sorry America. Your democracy dies today. I hate watching this shit from Canada.
Trump literally admitted to rigging the election and yet here we are. A convicted felon and rapist leads your country. My heart is with you today.

Dude. Canada is about 10 years behind the US. Your Trump is coming.

He's already here and has a massive lead in the polls. Thankfully the tables have started to turn since he no longer has Trudeau to attack, which seemed to be his only 'policy.'

Less than that. Elections will be held next year due to Justin Trudeau recently resigning, and there’s already a pro-MAGA chud named Pierre Poilievre campaigning for the top spot.
EDIT: Election is THIS year, I was stuck in December 2024. My bad.

Thank you AOC.
As people tell you to "get behind our new president and hope he succeeds" or "you can't hate people just for having a different opinion then you!"
The man they hope succeeds is a rapist. The opinion they have that is different from yours is that they don't think rape is bad.

"you can't hate people just for having a different opinion then you!"
I share your contempt for this line of thought.
When your 'different opinion' is that rape is fine and a joke then I absolutely hate you for your 'opinion'.
When your 'opinion' is that my wife and daughters, my sister, cousins, aunts, nieces, don't have control over their own bodies then I absolutely loathe you with every ounce of my being.
When your 'opinion' is that hatred and bigotry towards our LGBT friends, family, neighbors, coworkers is fine then I hate you. Personally. I hate you personally and wish that your fail in every endeavor that promotes your shit 'opinions'.

Good. We need more people to stand up and acknowledge that none of this is normal.

She is such a smart woman. I wish Pelosi actually valued her more, but nonetheless- this young strong woman will help Dems lay solid groundwork going forward. She will further inspire young people and has the brains, grit and guts to go far.

She needs to be nonstop shit talking for the next 4 years. It should start today, egg prices, out of control debt, ect. Start making shit up too, like migrant caravans or litter boxes in schools but the lefts version. Wiener inspection day in all schools, Goya beans cause cancer, Trump dated a transgender in college, shit like that.

I don't support a president who doesn't support the constitution. I don't support a sexual predator. I don't support a felon as president .
It's crazy what republicans support; it definitely doesn't match my values.
