Brexit: UK asks EU for further extension until 30 June

Apparently the House of Commons was full of shit yesterday (pipe leak)

Edit: Also apparently the Paddies are now a French colony.

Also also, the Frogs are currently saying Non Non Non to the extension.
So No Deal is looking more likely.

Speaking of which, the EU has caved in on the Irish Border and is planning to allow visa free travel through the EU for UK passport holders.
So that, and the fact that we'd still trade under current terms for two years (as per WTO rules) in the event of NODEAL, NODEAL suddenly isn't looking like as much of an issue.

But I was told the sky was falling. The people telling me it was were very insistent.

Consider-
The people negotiating for both sides don't want this, and they all have shares in companies in both the UK and the EU. They do not want to lose money, and fucking over either side too hard will lose them money

They'll figure it out, it's all just a big show on who can swing their balls around and be the big guy in the room

Apparently the report was kinda released but with a bunch of redactions

Didn't read, don't care
Someone else can look at it and say what the witch hunt actually found

Literally Nothing. There's no "Maybe" Verdict in the court of law. Now the DemoncRATS are using that trump said the f word in a moment of exasperation over the witch hunt as PROOF HES 100% GUILTY WE JUST CANT FIND THE EVIDENCE

If he had colluded then they could bust him for it. By not colluding he took that away from them and made the FBI look like assholes.

Sounds like that guy in Washington state recently
>Police try to enter house without warrant
>Guy says no
>Police instead arrest him for obstruction

If someone is looking for 'obstruction', then they will find it regardless of what happens. You could be cuffed and in the back of a police car and doing everything they tell you, if they want to slap that on you, they will find a way
So what did the guy actually find about Russia? Or any other foreign power? I'd be more interested in seeing if there's any Saudi or Israeli connections, they're more dangerous, influential, and capable than Russia when it comes to fucking with elections and politicians, and have a long history of doing it too.

Lumbermancer · Wed Apr 24, 2019 4:07 am

No, the trick is finding enough obstruction to carry on indictment, which is currently not the case. Even Nancy admitted that.
The report is literally about "Russian interference", so probably nothing about other countries. Though Russian interference has been proven.

Dozens of people got charged with a crime during the whole ordeal, so that's something.

SQL Injection really shouldn't be a thing anymore.
It's the result of lazy incompetent web devs who have no right to have a job.

You can't really rely on the govment not to fuck up, this is why paper ballots are the way to go.

That's to be expected when the job is given to the lowest bidder, but that's just how governments work.

Some state and federal systems are so out of date they're running on vacuum tubes and punch cards.

The terminal like three feet away from me at work right now is running windows xp and it's related to the national power grid, we're not supposed to have access to anything besides the fullscreen application that runs on it 24/7 but it's xp so getting to the actual desktop is trivial if I actually wanted to
in most cases they actually can't legally update these systems without going through a massive approvals process for whatever new system they want to implement and it's easier to just fudge some workaround

same with rail franchises in the UK, there are some stations that are effectively closed and permanently run "rail replacement" bus services because a train would literally be pointless, likewise some routes only run one train a week snuck in between the actually worthwhile services and the train is always empty, because "technically" that means the service is still running, and it's actually cheaper to send an empty train down the track once a week than it is to go through all the bureaucratic bullshit of officially closing that route

What he said
But the colours are
Red for the center-left(Socialists and commies)
Blue for the center-right(Sells-their-own-mom capitalists and vaguely religious 'state should legislate morality' parties)
Yellow for "Please dissolve our country and turn us into an EU vassal state"
Grey for "FUCK THE EU and maybe everyone else too"
And poland for 'other'

I guess "other" sounds better than "actual Nazis"
