This is so incredibly stupid I just can't even. Tillerson is really trying to tank State with dumb ideas, closing a 5 person sanctions office to a single dude, and not hiring people.

Is there a source on this? The account is from a Guardian writer, but all I could find there was this:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/28/rex-tillerson-state-department-can-be-cut-as-we-will-soon-solve-global-conflicts

Which says

quote:

“Any resolution of the war that doesn’t entail a fully independent, sovereign and territorially whole Ukraine is unacceptable,” Tillerson said. “Russia chose to violate the sovereignty of the largest country in Europe. The United States and Europe have stood shoulder to shoulder since 2014 in confronting this Russian aggression with a coordinated sanctions policy.”

Tillerson added: “Let me clear. Minsk-related sanctions will remain in place until Russia reverses the actions that triggered them.”

And now for something completely different
Good news, Mac-havers!

quote:

A trivial-to-exploit flaw in macOS High Sierra, aka macOS 10.13, allows users to gain admin rights, or log in as root, without a password.

The security bug is triggered via the authentication dialog box in Apple's operating system, which prompts you for an administrator's username and password when you need to do stuff like configure privacy and network settings.

If you type in "root" as the username, leave the4 password box blank, hit "enter" and then click on unlock a few times, the prompt disappears and, congrats, you now have admin rights. You can do this from the user login screen.
...

Chalk this up as just the latest embarrassing flaw in Apple's latest macOS, the OS formerly kn own as OS X. In October, fans noted that High Sierra would also do things like disclose the password for encrypted drives, and cough up account credentials to untrusted applications.

Earlier builds of the OS also had a habit of ruining the hard drives in iMacs, and rendering kernel-level security protections effectively useless, thanks to buggy code implementations.

He's claiming we have UAS with kinetic kill weapons that can neutralize ICBMs in boost. Unless he's saying that technically, you could shoot an ICBM with a hellfire if you time it perfectly such that it hits when the ICBM is like one foot off the ground, uh... Not sure if he's crazy or just wants people to click his op eds?

Well, I guess the tweet says "could" but he said that in response to an article saying we should just attack North Korea when they do tests, soo.. yeah....

Oh, hey, here's his weekly standard article about how we're getting close to winning in Afghanistan from 7 years ago, based on how stable Iraq was at the time. Hindsight 20/20 and all, but lolllllll

I was going nuts at the press briefing after that. Like, every reporter was all "why did the president decide to use a racial slur?"

Motherfuckers, you KNOW they're going to just say "it wasn't!" so ask a better question!

"Why did the president feel now was an appropriate time to attack a political opponent?"

That's a tougher question for Hucksand to dodge.
