I tried to disable Copilot in Outlook on my work laptop, and all it did was grey-out the icon. It won’t remove it. Grrrrrr.

Probably because Fox’s marketing told him they were “Fair and balanced” for over 20 years, when they were neither.

Because they think that Trump “sees” them, and that he’s “fighting” for them.
That’s what happens when a political and moral whitewashing machine gets to work on low-information voters.

I lived in Texas. Don’t let the shit-eating “I’m nice” and “I’m a good Christian” grin fool you.
For many Texans (not all), they believe they’re good Christians while doing wildly un-Christian things, and they have conflated Christianity with politics as being the same thing.
They’re so lost. 😞

NPR, your headline should be:
“President Wasting Time On Personal Grudges, Not Actual Problems”
Do better. I can get nonsense crap posts like this from random people on social media.
Why should I donate to NPR to support garbage posts like this?

Never mind that it’s none of the Federal government’s business who schools admit as long as they’re here legally and paying their bills.
But go ahead, PBS, soft pedal Trump’s insanity. It’s only your journalistic integrity that you’re flushing down the toilet.
No big deal, right?

By the way, don’t soft-pedal attacking another country; that’s an act of war that Constitutionally requires an act of Congress.
Maybe rethink your headlines to assume there are readers that don’t just buy Trump’s insane un-Constitutional actions as normal. They are not.

Strike what? Speedboats?
Do we really need to spend $8 million A DAY to use a $13 BILLION aircraft carrier with 80+ aircraft and 4,500+ crew AND an entire supporting fleet to do what should be done by maybe a few dozen ATF agents?
We don’t.
This is insane.
China must be thrilled.

When are judges saying these things going to start revoking DOJ lawyers the right to appear in Federal courts? When will they begin to impose penalties for contempt?
I hope they understand that the old unwritten Queensberry Rules of judicial nicety no longer apply in Trump’s world.
