To hear Trump talk about it, and the people around him, it's just a straight line. Look up "project 2025" and read the details for yourself. Steve Bannon is talking it up a lot on his podcast, and other MAGA bloggers are more explicit. I'm not making it up.

Trump has basically pledged to fire all federal workers who don't pledge allegiance to him. He'll have his attorney general just arrest people and waste years with the investigations, with or without evidence, because nobody will stop him. He's said he'll be a dictator "only on day one" but dictators don't just stop being dictators. More likely, he'll just have the DOJ redefine what "dictator" means or what the powers of the president are, to include all the things Trump wants to do.

If Trump wins, all our old gripes about how Trump illegally kept classified documents or invited Russian agents into the Oval Office will look quaint. Trump will sell out the country to them, simply because Putin says nice things to Trump, and then gives him lots and lots of money (in exchange for numerous considerations).

The FBI didn't plant docs in Mar A Lago. Those photos of the spilled docs came from Walt Nauta's text to the cooperating witness, along with the texts saying that "the boss" wanted them moved. The NYC case has plenty of evidence, including receipts and voice recordings. Trump's going down. It's sad that you have to resort to conspiracy rumors to defend Trump.

And nobody really cares whether the virus came from the wet market or a lab leak. Either way, Trump fumbled the response despite being left a playbook from the Obama Administration. He had Republicans injecting bleach and gulping down horse medication, even after the vax came out, because he was afraid of losing support of his base and couldn't correct the misinformation.

So much regard for the First Amendment. Right?

Sure--Let's take lessons on transparency from Trump who stopped reports on Covid deaths because it made him look bad. And even though Republicans say they want freedom from government, are tripping over themselves to take away civil rights of anybody the personally disagree with. Cry about "safe spaces" and then prohibit even talking about US history when it makes Republicans feel any shame. And the "democrat deep state" is a made up phrase to deflect from Trump's crimes and Republicans trying to manipulate elections. Tell us again how Jan 6 was a false flag operation from the FBI and Democrat operatives even though all the people arrested are Republicans and Trump never denied that he had kept those government docs.

Heh, yeah the rising stock market is probably killing the short sellers.

It's a bit too late. The primary elections are basically over. Just the conventions to go before the general election officially begins. That said, I agree we should stop picking on Trump for his diapers and dyslexia. But I still won't vote for him.

Still more transparent than the previous administration.

Also, I saw the list of medal awardees and it's a solid list.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/03/president-biden-announces-recipients-of-the-presidential-medal-of-freedom-2/

It even includes Michelle Yoh and Elizabeth Dole. Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry are valid, considering their decades of government service.

Don't know if Boeing had anything to do with the outcome of those two whistleblowers, but the most recent mishap was from one of Boeing's subcontractors, Spirit Aerosystems. They're the ones who changed out a door plug without reinstalling the bolts to hold it in place. I'm not saying Boeing is innocent of everything--just look at the whole 737-MAX and 787 battery problems. However, dead whistleblowers don't don Boeing any favors.

Weird profile. It's hard to tell if those photos are you, and you apparently included motivational poster graphics. And while your profession is a list that includes "photographer", you don't have any good self-portraits. It's a little difficult to figure it out.

It's good that you filled in most of the information, but your text "blurb" doesn't say anything about you or what you're looking for. You did create a headline, which lots of people don't, so good for you, but you could do better by actually writing a good introduction to yourself in the blurb area. If you have a type of person you seek, that would also be good to include in the blurb. Just saying "What do you want to know about me? Let's Chat" is about the least helpful thing you can put there. What do we want to know? I want you to tell us about you in a few words or sentences. Give us an idea of what you're like and what you want to find here.

You being a photographer and a content creator, I probably don't need to tell you how to make a good portrait, but if your idea is that dark, distant guy sitting on a bench in the main photo, then maybe I need to tell you that we should be able to see your face. If that's you in the last few pictures, then maybe make a new photo better cropped for this medium. This looks like you used somebody else's pictures for this profile.

If your profile is accurate, then you're an interesting, healthy, young man, but you should do better here. So for this weird profile, I can only rate it 5/10.

Good luck.

It's a pretty good profile. Picture shows your face clearly, and the blurb is descriptive enough, though it doesn't say what kind of person you seek.

The photos have some weird lighting. Harsh, like a bare lightbulb over your head, and Robin is right that it's probably better to actually wear a shirt for photos, but at least you're looking in to the camera and not looking crazy like some serial killer.

It's weird that you left out punctuation and capitalization in your text. Like you typed it on an old phone and couldn't get the [shift] key to work. Maybe it won't matter, since lots of people don't read profiles, but for those that do, this doesn't make you look smart. Good that you included a headline, but it, too, has the punctuation and capitalization problem.

Anyway, from the photos, you seem like a good-looking guy so you should be alright, but for the sloppy work on the text that needs work, I'd only rate it 7/10.

Good luck.

Despite all the crying, crime, unemployment and inflation are down over the last 3 years, and the stock market is higher than ever. Maybe Trump's trying to deflect from his criminal trials.

Trump's also in it to get out of some criminal indictments and possibly delay the state indictments for another 4 years or more. He says he wants to be a dictator "just on day one" but dictators don't just step down, or simply stop being a dictator until they're overthrown or die.

I don't see the problem. The Biden Administration is doing a pretty good job of moving things along--way more effective than the previous administration, and some of the more diverse individuals therein are doing really good jobs. Upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the opposition is just a bonus.

All the technologies above were developed years and or decades ago. Boeing planes have had door plugs for decades, since they started making different models of the 737, needing different numbers of doors for evacuations--not having to taylor-make barrels of the aircraft. That failure, in particular, was the result of not reporting modifications made. Blame Spirit Aerosystems. "Death to America" was happening back in the 70s and 80s, too.

No, investing in American manufacturing will only help, especially when Russia and China decide to invade other countries and we find ourselves relying on US technology, like when SpaceX took over flying astronauts to the ISS--no more handing hundreds of $millions over to Roscosmos.

Intel Corp. needed the financial incentives to build chip plants in the US, and now they have it.

For the golden example of improvements to technology, you can look at LED light bulbs, that last ten times longer and use 1/10 the electricity, for arguably better light. Nobody was going to build an LED bulb until the government came up with the "L-prize"

Biden's quietly getting the job done, despite all the weird fictions spun up by Conservative bloggers on X. Again, $trillions invested in the national infrastructure and improvements to technology pushed along by government requirements, saving $billions each year. We should expect no less, but Trump wants to take us Liberals aren't as nice to him as he thinks he deserves.

To be fair, the military can tell incomplete stories to the family when sensitive intelligence gathering is involved, and kids may imagine all sorts of weird scenarios when trying to understand what happened. It's not like the Army will follow up and set the record straight with anybody, years later.

President Biden has invested $trillions back into the US, and brought back semiconductor and other manufacturing from overseas with the Chips & Science Act. Some may grouse that they don't see the benefits yet, but this is the sort of thing that takes years to really get started but lasts decades.

You guys say that same joke about every Democratic President. Truth is that even though Carter had a recession and 19% inflation during his term, he still ranks around the middle of the field, while Biden consistently ranks higher and Trump ranks at or near last place. Truth hurts.

Good start. Some clear photos of your face. You didn't fill in the text blurb and "i learn computer stuff" is not a profession.

Maybe go back and in the "blurb" box, you can tell us about you and what you're looking for on here. Try to use proper spelling and punctuation to make it easy to read.

In the "profession" box, you can say "IT student" and for "interests" you can tell us about your hobbies or what you like to do in your free time.

The first 3 photos look almost the same. Different days, maybe? They're redundant. Maybe find another photo of yourself that's different. Maybe in an interesting place? Maybe showing your whole body so the ladies can see your relative dimensions. But that 4th picture looks like maybe you from 20 years and 50 kg ago. Maybe take down the old photo.

So, you seem like a good-looking guy, and I wish you luck in your computer studies, but your profile needs more work. I can only rate it 5/10.

Good luck!

Good profile with an odd selection of photos. I also laughed at the giant shoes photo.

It seems a bit aggressive that you're a passionate lover, but I guess since you're looking for an intimate encounter, it fits. You also said you're not selfish, so OK. Maybe also describe yourself in terms of what you're like outside the bedroom.

You have a good selection of photos, but you don't smile in them. That's OK if you're serious. You could seem more approachable if you smiled more. Your main photo doesn't do a good job of showing your face. Maybe the 2nd photo would be better as the main photo. Better yet, take another picture where it's better lit and you look into the camera lens when taking the shot.

So you seem like a nice guy, and the painting and playing the saxophone could start a conversation, so you should do alright. But for the photos and description that could be better, I only rate it 8/10.

Good luck!
