So if you work 60 hours in one week, instead of getting 20 hours of overtime, you'll get 20 hours of comp time.

Mr. Nice! posted:There's no reason to believe that McConnel won't nuke the filibuster if that's the only way this can pass. There's zero reason for republicans to keep it and just Yes there is. They have a 3 vote majority, and getting rid of the filibuster would reduce senators to highly paid representatives. They all benefit from wielding the power of the filibuster.

It was even better in Afghanistan, where all of the toilet trailers were German. So you'd end up with LNs making GBS threads on the back of the seat and then that would trickle down onto the shelf.

The senate intelligence committee has requested that all Trump aides hand over any and all records of communication with Russia. It'll give them the ability to subpoena anyone who doesn't comply, or who they think isn't complying.quote:Among those who said they had received the requests were Roger J. Stone, an informal adviser to President Trump, and Carter Page, a businessman and former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman, and Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser, were also sent letters, said the officials with knowledge of the investigation. Representatives for both men declined to comment.

Unrelated, for those of you who want to contribute to a meaningful PAC and not the DCCC, flippable was founded by a team of data scientists to target small-donor money and volunteers at local, state, and national candidates in districts that have a high probability of flipping. Or you can all continue to post in here about how nothing matters, I guess.

Bored As gently caress posted:Bannon and other incompetent fucksticks are trying to oust H.R. McMaster. One official described the whole thing as "Game of Thrones for morons." Best part: quote:“[McMaster] will always be on the outside looking in from so many circles,” the senior intelligence official said. “He isn’t family. He’s not a Bannon guy, and he’s still surrounded by Flynnstones.” I'm using this from here on out to refer to anyone who tries to defend Flynn.

Thwomp posted:So we're going to have to wait until 2018 at least to see if a general backlash is possible. Which also means we're in for at least another year and a half of Trump doing real harm to Americans and Republicans folding to Trump's bullshit. We'll see early murmurs this year. Virginia has statewide elections this year; there's enough anger in large parts of the state to flip the legislature blue, assuming Dems can field candidates (a lot of the Republican seats have gone uncontested). Virginia's economy is tied heavily into technology and the government, two areas where Trump is incredibly unpopular (fat government contractors in dumb pickups with Gadsden serpent plates notwithstanding). https://www.flippable.org/virginia-methodology

bird food bathtub posted:One way to explain it is that America was the beta testing of democracy as a form of government. Mistakes were made and lessons were learned. Once we're done dropping thousands of pounds of freedom on a country and we try our hand at nation building we go with forms of democracy better than ours. Ones that fix the bugs left over because "holy poo poo the electoral college what the gently caress?" and things like our current cluster gently caress of succession being merely a different flavor of bullshit instead of a solution. The electoral college is the one computer on the network still running an unpatched copy of Windows XP because the developers are too lazy to rewrite the single application that runs on it which accounting uses once every four years.

brains posted:this is honestly the most probably outcome. it's doubtful at this point there's a real fire even despite the seemingly endless amount of smoke. what's most likely is that there was no direct collusion, but the trump campaign inadvertently and unknowingly, though complete incompetence, allowed Russian influence to affect their own policy and conduct of the campaign. I fully believe Page, Manafort, and probably Stone were actively colluding with the Russians. Everyone else was either too stupid or too high on their own farts to notice or care.

Proud Christian Mom posted:Crypto variant attacks are really hard to prevent so you focus on limiting the damage a single account can do and invest heavily in disaster recovery. Stories like this are the hammer I use to beat clients into compliance with best practices Yes and no. Pretty much all firewalls and IPSs can block it, and most endpoint solutions (Cisco AMP, Palo Alto TRAPS, etc.) can prevent it from encrypting the hard disk once it's actually on the machine. Plus, doing simple stuff like running an ad blocker can really cut down on it as well. The biggest vulnerabilities come from not properly securing poo poo like VPNs or BYOD networks, as the guy mentioned. Comply to connect using a mixture of something like Bigfix and 802.1X is obviously becoming a big thing for those cases where some idiot takes his laptop out and about for a month and keeps clicking "restart later" on critical updates. psydude fucked around with this message at 19:09 on May 12, 2017 |
