We Talk Friday
(WTF)
This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might be heavier - regardless of the content topic itself though, just have some fun engaging and discussing with whoever happens to put in the effort in the comments section below.
We Talk Friday Ep. 75: Sky High
1. Attorney at Lies
It would appear that the latest Trump firing has broken another record, with the newly appointed Press Secretary being fired just four days into the job. There are probably numerous reasons for it considering her first press briefing which was labelled a disaster, but I think one of the main ones is that she lied about being a lawyer and attorney. Sure, she might have been careful not to call herself an attorney at law, but she did.
The real question about all of this is, how the fuck does the US government vet candidates?
2. Now You Don't
And on bad decisions, the same building of decision makers chose to throttle the Starshield service to Ukraine, so they can't see incoming ballistic missiles launched by Russia. Trump is blaming Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries for increasing fuel prices in the US and has even broken the sanctions and done a deal with Russia to supply diesel. It has nothing to do with his special operation in Iran... But, perhaps the reason Trump is so interested in buddying up with Putin is he is looking into the future and Russia and the US do not have an extradition agreement.
3. Suck Me, Baby
Admittedly, the new Tesla demonstration of a car with thrusters and a suction system is pretty cool, albeit pretty bloody useless on the normal roads. I am not sure if I would want to be upside down in a car, or doing anything really. Still, the suction system would be fantastic to see in action cornering on a race track. It is like a really expensive automatic window washer.
