Death of Brian Sicknick:
The only person who was killed on January 6th 2021 was NOT Brian Sicknick. It was actually Ashley Babbitt, who was shot and killed by capitol police during the riot. There were others who died that day, but like Brian Sicknick, it was due to natural causes.

Brian Sicknick died January 7th 2021 from two strokes. He was a capitol police officer who was assaulted on J6 by Julian Elie Khater & George Pierre Tanios. The two offenders who assaulted Sicknick was charged with disorderly conduct and assault with a dangerous weapon. The weapon being a keychain sized pepper spray that they used against Sicknick. They both pled guilty. Khater was sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison and Tanios was sentenced to 10 months in prison.

For months misinformation spread in the media about Sicknick's death. They ranged from being beat to death, blunt force trauma and other accusations that he was murdered. But on April 21st 2021, the medical examiner ruled Sicknick's death to be of natural causes. Despite the M.E. report, even to this day the democrats in congress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exbiE... lie to the American people and claim Sicknick was murdered. In fact, just the other day the democrats in congress had a fake candle lite vidual where they pretended Sicknick was murdered.

NOTE TO SELF:
When grabbing a spare SATA PSU cable to power a SATA drive, make sure the cable matches the exact model of the PSU. Even cables from the same manufacturer but from different PSU models, might not work. It might even ruin your 2TB SSD... For the life of me, why would a manufacturer use different pinouts based on model of PSU?

Thanks #EVGA ... My 850BQ didn't like the SATA cable from my 850GA... RIP 2TB SATA..

Back when I was young, criminals were generally ashamed to be a criminal. Now it's like a fool's rite of passage.

EDIT:
It's obvious the vast majority of the Venezuelan people are happy with the removal of Maduro. While I can absolutely be happy for them and view the outcome as beneficial to them, I still 100% believe the coup should have been carried out by the people of Venezuela and not by the US. My hangup is the involvement of the US. I didn't like the interventionism of the past, and I don't like the interventionism of the present or future. I can at least agree it was efficiently planned and executed, as to ensure the least cost of blood and treasure. So far, anyway.

I am a non interventionist. I do not like the pretexts we always have for our interventionism. While I disagree with Trump's choice to use the military to carry out a coup in Venezuela, at least it was a decisive action with a clear goal. Unlike the forever wars of the middle east.

ORIGINAL:
No matter how you cut it, we attacked a sovereign nation and abducted their leader. Maduro is not a good person. But the Venezuelan revolution is the responsibility of the Venezuelan people and not the US. We need to fix the corruption and hold the criminals in our own nation accountable before we start fixing the corruption in other nations and holding their criminals accountable. Taking out the drug boats makes sense because that is happening in international waters and we know their destination is the US.

There's no circumstance where we the people in the US would allow any other nation to declare our president a criminal and then come into the US and arrest them and take them to their nation to be put on trial.

Trump messed up. I somewhat understand his rationale for doing what he is doing. However, again, we have our own problems that are far more important and in immediate need to be solved for than the affairs of another nation.

I did not vote for Trump in the last three elections to see yet another intervention. I am sick and tired of it. We need to drain our own swamp before we drain the swamps in other nations.

No matter how we cut it, no matter if the waste is due to fraud or ineptitude, the root of the problem is the government has a spending addiction. It's too easy to get the government to take from persons A to give to persons B. There's little to no concerns about fiscal responsibility. There's little to no concerns about checks and balances needed to protect the public purse. Waste, fraud and abuse is a massive problem. But the larger problem is that we treat waste, fraud and abuse as if it's a function of government. We do so with such friviality that it essentially becomes baked into the system of spending. Any attempt to correct the issue is immediately met with the most psychotic of accusations. Resulting is a further cementing of the corruption.
We are not a serious nation.

We should reasonably expect the AI boom to continue to create dram shortages that will continue to steer the price of nearly everything that requires dram, in a more expensive direction. This includes phones, GPUs, laptops, TVs and many other modern devices.
