Ha! I can't say too much because I'm not authorized to speak on their behalf but we use some out-dated shit.

We only upgraded to Win7 in the last four years, after all.

Ruddo, local VAs are weird. The one in Portland is pretty fast but then it's the main one for the area and not a clinic or anything.

They did that for a brief bit during the shut down in 2013 but it was very brief.

Interesting that you never hear about Congress not getting paid because of IT issues. What a fucking joke.

sounds like a great project for a pork-barrel congressional budget thing

must all the defense contracting money be for JSF planes that may never see the field of battle?

why not throw some defense tech firm a classic overpaid fatty govt contract to revamp the shit

the Vets get better tech and the standard fleecing can continue uninterrupted

Is he thanking himself in this tweet?

With his loss in the midterms, Donald Trump is essentially a lame duck president. Whatever Mueller brings to light will only make that more of a certainty. Also, in entertainment terms that he would understand, tweets like this reflect the fact that he's jumped the shark. I remember when a tweet like this would get a little rise out of me, now it's just sad and laughable. More sad, though.

Donald Trump has been de-fanged. Sure, the noisy supporters and Russian bots will still flood social media with their garbage, but the election showed a clear rebuke of this asshole and I find myself breathing a lot easier thanks to that result. 2019 doesn't bode to be a good year for DJT and those around him.

actually quite a bit can still be done by executive order to ruin this country

would prefer that this guy not be put in a position where he feels cornered until it's army rangers busting through his windows with smoke grenades to take him away to camp x-ray

It's going to be fun watching this slow-motion trainwreck begin its final plunge into the abyss of history.

I'm not ready to back off of my prediction in this thread: http://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtop ... =5&t=12928

It's Monday, so of course the President is floating the idea of a government owned propaganda network:

Alright. I don't even drink but that one needs the whiskey gif.

Voice of America exists.

I like that this tweet showcases multiple levels of unhinged. Amidst the crazy the "thread" contains, he still manages to throw shade at CNN just for the fuck of it.
