I'm a Systems Analyst/Programmer.

In 2007 I conducted a deep analysis of the pros and cons of telework for a major state agency.

The pros list was long: reduced traffic injuries/deaths, road maintenance, gas usage, less air pollution, etc., etc.

The cons list?
One: personal interaction.๐Ÿค”

Silly me. I thought our submarines have the ability to detect and destroy underwater mines, weapons first developed in the 14th century, if not earlier.

Sonar and torpedos won't do the trick?

Because if they don't, hoo boy, talk about a fatal flaw.

That'd be weird. And downright stupid.๐Ÿคจ

I've been warning about this since the orange idiot's first flop/term. Here's my latest...๐Ÿ‘‡

Lemme guess - DOGE determined that underwater mine detectors were unnecessary.

It's a *LOT* cheaper to just con America's Idiot in Chief into *thinking that you're laying mines, because he'll announce it to the world and everyone will believe him.

*I use the word "thinking" figuratively, not literally.

We're getting close to the point where the only decision left is guillotines or firing squads.

Moments after tRump's ear was allegedly nicked by gunfire, Earth experienced a brief confluence of multiple time lines, all focused on the stage, transporting prior presidents into the bodies of Secret Service agents.

Their thoughts, including a nearby eagle's, are recorded for posterity.๐Ÿ˜‰

America still seems to have a hard time rationalizing how so many imbeciles can collect in one place.

Nothing ever said that having money and/or a motormouth required intelligence. tRump have proven that literally his entire life.

Rush Limbaugh is why I stopped listening to AM.

I'm not fighting it; I'm wishing we didn't need it.

Religion is the longest-running con in human history.

The sooner we can evolve beyond the need to offload responsibility onto a fictional character, the sooner we can take full responsibility for our planet and everything living on it. ๐Ÿค”

I suspect that the Pee Tape involved minors.

Reminder:
tRump oggled a 10-year-old girl, then suggested that he'd date her in a few years. He said this when he was *46* years old. #Pedophile

The *one* thing companies rushing to replace humans with robots have overlooked is what to do with all the bodies.

DonOld tRump again proves that he has no frikkin' clue what actual war with Iran entails.

Does he really believe that all he has to do is threaten Iran with more bombing, and they'll just roll over and start calling him "Sir?"

In fact, yes, he IS that stupid.

And Americans are dying.

I applaud whoever first designated online storage as the "cloud" because, like clouds, online storage is subject to the whims of constantly changing external forces that can feel downright vindictive sometimes.

I have seen cloudless days.

I recommend dropping the "Either" and changing "Or" to "AND."

Yeah, it has that "so bad it's good" charm.

Gotta give it to Ed, too, for trying to convince us that a lumpy carpet is a reasonable stand-in for real grass. Even b&w couldn't hide it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Putin already has a 5th floor apartment waiting for him, decked out with enough faux gold to put the tacky crap tRump pinned up all over the White House to shame.

Not only did BoA assume tRump would focus on "affordability" (remember, this is a word tRump only recently discovered) and "*quelling inflation," they also assumed that he could focus on anything besides himself.

*QUELLING inflation means it's brought down to ZERO, which would NOT be good.

Little known facts:

A rabbit's nose wiggles are similar to Morse Code. We don't understand them because we don't speak Leporidae.

As my dear ol' Dad used to say about people who were obviously short in smarts, "They'd screw up a one-car funeral."

For an example of how this is accomplished, watch "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas," starring Peter Sellers.

35,000 lies in a 4-year period, followed by tens of thousands more over the subsequent 5 years, is a good indicator that this president should *never* be trusted to tell the truth.

In fact, it's reasonable to assume that the opposite of whatever tRump says is the actual truth.

It's nowhere near as complicated as some people think.

There's only *ONE* driving force behind all if this: GREED.

Greed manifests in lust: lust for money, power, influence, etc.

In tRump's case, it's also lust for your wife and daughters.

The problem is that greed is NEVER satisfied. ๐Ÿคฌ
