We went through those exact same scenarios back in 2009, just like you're describing, and we all saw how that turned out—nothing changed.
Plus, let's be real, these "new platforms" coming from that side of the aisle are really just the same old career extremists in a different coat.

The crowd from 2009 was nowhere near this level of corruption. Plus, they were actually competent compared to this weak-willed administration.

These people rack up as many scandals in a single week as the old guard did in an entire year.

briskjackal5 said:So much of this just seems like such a massive coincidence.

It’s almost funny how everything just happens to be a "total accident" for people like him.

Such a huge country, yet somehow all these coincidences always seem to cluster together! 😁

But now, the only thing anyone talks about is how much cash America will pull from the European Union. It’s all just pre-election maneuvering to grab the credit—same old story.

briskjackal5 said:So, here we have the Attorney General caught on camera in a restaurant basement with Maček, who happens to be an FBI defendant.
Bošnjaković and Maček are claiming their little meetup was just a total coincidence.

Yeah, right. Another "coincidence." I guess.

If anyone was wondering who’s actually—and I mean very diligently—treating America like some sort of accidental, makeshift state... 😁

Attorney General spotted at a restaurant with FBI defendant: "Under the Constitution, he's innocent"

The second you start pulling the Constitution out of your pocket to defend someone, Bošnjaković... man,
Maček has already been convicted. 😁

And even if he hadn't, the guy is a defendant, and honestly, that should be enough for anyone.

That’s easy enough to say. But the part everyone keeps glossing over—the truly vital bit—is that... An hour before the meeting, a key witness went ahead and threw Maček under the bus. Direct accusations. Just what we needed. He was the one pulling the strings for the Republican Party's money laundering schemes. Typical. Just another day in Washington.
It didn't take them long to find each other by accident. Typical.

From what I can tell, yesterday's big topic was the congressional elections.

Charles Carter4 said:The former minister with more scandals than sense is making her comeback:

Word on the street—according to some unofficial reports from the New York Times—is that the Republican Party might just slot the former Minister of Regional Development and European Union Funds, Gabriella, back onto their ballot in this district. You remember her, right? She was basically forced out of Plenković’s Cabinet because of those massive embezzlement scandals that were all over the news. And get this—it looks like Steve Culej might be grabbing another term too, which is wild considering he's always been such an outspoken hardliner when it comes to nationalist politics.

Honestly, if this isn't a direct signal for us to get out there and vote, then I don't know what is. They can't just keep doing whatever they want without consequences.

It’s lovely to see the dream team reuniting. 😲

I'm leaning more and more toward voting for the Criminal Party. They managed to wreck everything even when the economy was doing okay. Enough people are saying this is the worst administration in history, though the previous Milanović's administration inherited Sanders and the global recession.
Four years of Republican Party rule during a crisis will sober up even the biggest "patriot" enthusiasts. Knowing their skill set, they probably couldn't even manage to make a sandwich for a colleague at headquarters.

Looking back now, I actually miss Ćorić. Despite all the little indiscretions, the guy was the embodiment of morality compared to this current crew.

Since we're talking media, it’s pretty telling that neither yesterday nor today did NBC's top political show, Open Forum, bother to bring up the ExxonMobil situation or those secret contracts.

Most media outlets haven't said a single word about the meeting between Joe Biden and FDR, not even on Yahoo.
A friendly little get-together in Joe Biden's democratic circle and the press—clearly, it paid off.

During the trial involving Sanders and the Republican Party, the former head of accounting changed her story:
* today was her first shot at providing a defense without being coerced for herself and her family
* I barely even spoke with Sanders
* everything was done on orders from the Republican Party's chief secretaries

It’s perfectly logical that Sanders wasn't personally carrying around envelopes full of cash; that just shifts the blame onto other high-ranking party officials. As for witness intimidation, I don't even need to go there.

Today's wiretapping scandal is heading down a total dead end. Cortez is just some insignificant errand boy; there’s no way he came up with this or pulled it off on his own. If information was actually obtained through surveillance like this, then the real question is who authorized the bugging of those journalists .

Two quick corrections to what I said earlier:
Saucha wasn't just bought—he was coerced. We all know his deciding vote is the only reason he isn't currently sitting in a cell at a federal penitentiary. It’s been four years of this administration, and there hasn't been a single verdict. We all know how broken our justice system is, but this is the most blatant case of criminal activity in American politics, and yet, zero consequences.

As for the legacy of Franjo Harmon—much of the rot we see in today's corruption can be traced back to his era, but that was twenty years ago. For everything that happened after he passed, we can only blame those who inherited his mantle—people who essentially earned doctorates in corruption. To be fair, it helps them that they always keep "Franjo" on their lips as a convenient excuse, even though most of them couldn't care less about his actual values. But hey, it plays well at the ballot box.

Henry Gonzalez67 said:It’s officially started. We're seeing an internal party purge right before the elections—basically a scramble for spots on the candidate lists. It is quite a strange coincidence how this sudden FBI activity has cropped up. Everything seemed perfectly fine until now. The timing of this operation just happens to align perfectly with the election cycle...

Where are the SWAT teams with the high-tech gear? I have to criticize Plenković for the lack of spectacle and special effects here. The old guard used to pull this off much better before an election.
The whole thing is just a limp, pathetic show for the public.

The trailer for T-Mobile just dropped. It looks Hollywood, which honestly isn't much of a compliment.

wiredseal7 said:They've got their own defense industry anyway—helicopters, drones, missiles, they even put together those F-16s of theirs—so they'll find work, if not for others, then for themselves. Unless, of course, we're talking about gear that's too niche and useful only for the American military-industrial complex.

Trump is playing a similar game now, like he did with China. But people have seen his playbook by now. A little stick first, then the carrot—an invitation to the negotiating table; basically, "hey, maybe you could sell or return that S-400 so we can actually talk."😬 An attempt at regime change seems unlikely though—that probably won't go down easy since the Sultan will be watching his back after everything. Not before the next elections, anyway.

Let's play a game of predictions: the Democratic opposition loses the election, and then the "international community" steps in to back them during a moderately violent coup?
Given that we're dealing with Turkey, moderate Nazis aren't even on the table, but moderate Al-Qaeda types certainly are.
The only snag is that Erdogan has his own version of Al-Qaeda. If things actually go down, it'll be an interesting dilemma for us: do we root for our guys or their Al-Qaeda?

Classic move: some keeper playing in a local Brazilian league charged into the opponent's box, then hopped on a motorcycle just to get back to his goal.

It's called slipstreaming.

Since we're dealing with massive files, I doubt a cloud service is actually going to cut it. You could try throwing them onto Google Drive, if you really want to struggle.

Another option is just staying on your local network—use a shared folder over a hardwired connection, if possible.
You might save yourself some headaches by using a sync program to handle delta copies, so you aren't moving the whole damn file every time. I'd suggest Dropbox.

Sent from my iPhone using Twitter

At first glance, it looks like an issue with the files on the USB.
Where did you get the files from? 🤔

Ubiquiti gear lets you spin up multiple isolated networks with speed caps without breaking the bank. It’s solid stuff. Though, let's be real—a novice is going to hit a wall and need a hand getting the configuration right.

For about a decade, we've used an iskonov email account as our main hub for everything: banking, shopping, business negotiations, invoices, confirmations... you name it.
At home, I use Mozilla Thunderbird, though I occasionally jump on the webmail. Not often, though; I have Thunderbird set up on my laptop too for when we're away from the house.

Ten years of smooth sailing. I’d clear out the junk, the notifications, the expired offers, the absolute nonsense... leaving only the essentials: account confirmations, payment receipts, contracts...

Then, this July, everything went sideways. Out of roughly 2,000 emails, only about 100 remained from July 1st onwards. Everything else just vanished.
It's not in the trash. It's not in some hidden folder. It isn't even showing up on the webmail interface.
We didn't touch any settings. We didn't mess with anything...

Time passed. I thought, fine, maybe it's not that big of a deal... but then today happened. Only four emails were left—all less than ten days old—when there should have been around 200.
They aren't consecutive, nor are they from the same sender. There's no pattern to explain why those specific four survived. The ones that escaped the first "purge" are gone now, too. Just four measly emails left.

The support staff at the ISP has no clue. They suggested changing the password, implying some virus might have crawled in.
Fine. But what do you guys think?

What kind of Scooby-Doo mystery is this? How can mail that was sitting in the inbox this morning—without us touching it—just be gone?
Sending works, receiving works, and things stay in the inbox for a moment, but how am I supposed to trust anything if important emails just evaporate into thin air?

Are you using that account on multiple devices where one uses IMAP and the other uses POP3? POP3 might be pulling them off the server after a few days, which would then sync to the IMAP account.

Did the sent messages disappear as well?

If you’ve set the CD drive as your primary boot device, the system is supposed to pick it up, period. No excuses. You should probably verify if that disc is actually bootable in the first place.

Try using an OPH crack, though steer clear of the latest build. Version 3.4 works fine enough.
