Full accountability, didn't age well
Yes, the constant Plattner bashing here is exactly this kind of preening. Boldly asserting 'Nazis bad!' while never grappling with the only practical and moral issue at hand -- which one do you want as Senator?

I want our next Dem president to bring back the WPA and just build infrastructure all across this country again. Build green energy, trains, housing, etc. We can have nice things (and nice bathrooms), but we have to invest in ourselves!

BTW, if Senate Dems want technical reforms, here's one: amend 8 USC 1357 so DHS agents do not have power to arrest without a judicial warrant unless they are GS-1811, grade of GS-13 or higher.
Real criminal investigations would be unaffected, but CBP & ICE goon squads would be severely limited.

Breaking per NBC News — CBP has shot and critically wounded another person, this time in Arizona. Very few details available at this time.

Rich tech people who don't create or write code often got extremely lucky early in their careers and attributed it to their superior knowledge and then the tech press who didn't know shit either called them geniuses (they aren't) and now they talk out their ass every opportunity they get
