A lot of people have declared the US republican party to be on its last legs, but it keeps stumbling onward.

We're all standing on top of a Jenga tower, and "that guy" thinks it would be fun to knock out blocks underneath us.

How large are the DBs?

Do you store the DB too, or rebuild it from your records if the client loses their DB?

HN mods/leadership appear to have taken the stance that this is a non-political site.

Why it's being flagged? People hiding behind the non-political rule are suppressing information and discussion.

This site is owned by ycombinator, who have a motivation to "not rock the boat", so such suppression is ignored.

I guess in time we'll see whether that's a good decision for them or not.

A large part of the USA, for a myriad of reasons, lives paycheck to paycheck.

It sounds like a few software projects I've worked on. Incorrect base assumptions and not swapping out the components that were made unwieldy by those assumptions not reflecting reality.

I was thinking that the US marshals need to be the enforcement arm of the courts. But I am not sure if that would help much in the current situation.

Maybe police and federal enforcement agencies should be solely under Congress? At least then senior people can actually get fired for obeying unlawful orders from the executive.

They are enabling him because his grass roots supporters threaten anyone who "steps out of line" with oligarch-funded primary challenges.

I was surprised to learn that there doesn't seem to be a way for people to recall congresspeople or senators.

There needs to be a patch for the constitution of the USA to fix the vulnerabilities/bugs exposed by trump and his supporters.

It could be a little smaller, but compared to the USA plug and socket it's pure perfection.

USA plugs have prongs that are so thin they bend. The prongs act as a hinge that lets the plug pivot away from the wall to expose the live prongs! And most USA sockets don't have ground on top to block anything resting over those exposed live prongs.
