He has a solid resume, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't land on his feet. His skills are valued, and someone willl get over his judgment.

I understand WIRED confirmed with Harvard that the PhD never issued, he only got a masters, and that until the ridicule began his resume was full of things like gamer credentials.

Not technically funk, but I dare you to say its not funky. Nothing like afrobeat for an sunny August day. For a little change of pace, it's Newen Afrobeat, a Chilean afrobeat band, collaborating with Seun Kuti and Cheick Tidiane Seck on the Fela Kuti number "Opposite People":

I thought I'd posted this here, if not, I apologize, I posted it everywhere else. Read through the whole thing. Explains why he sucks as an engineer and an employee, and not just as a human being. And Google's principal concern with him is and should be that he sucks as an engineer and employee.

My brother-in-law teaches engineering design to incoming freshmen, and without having talked to him about this particular article, I'd say he would agree wholeheartedly with the second section. It was a beautifully written piece.

I'm an engineer but a bad one. I can't say much, other than lots of women seem to be better engineers than me.

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
I can't decide whether the current occupant of the White House (sorry, of one of his branded golf course resorts in New Jersey) is just a blustering buffoon with no understanding of what he's doing or if he (and maybe some of the people around him) thinks that goading North Korea into attacking first wouldn't be such a bad thing because there's no other way they'd get to try to oust its regime with military force.

And somebody has been cleaning up his resume!
I suppose one of the positive traits of white men is that they lie about things like qualifications and that shows more drive to get ahead.

I do not see these two things as mutually exclusive.

Not defending him, but everyone thought Reagan was likely to start a nuke war. Although the USSR was less likely to rise to it. But here is the wild card, crazed dictators have survival skills. All the relatives your boy Kim killed are a way to keep him safer. There is a chance acting nuts like you want a fight ends up chilling out dear leader. I'm not saying it makes the trumster's act advisable, but it could have that effect?

We're relying right now on Kim being smart enough to realize that he doesn't actually want a fight. I think he's that smart, but I don't see how anything 45 is doing helps in that regard.
I do see how what 45 is doing only increases the incentives for Kim to keep developing better missiles and nukes.

My two cents: POTUS is interested in posturing and how he appears to a domestic audience, not in changing anything about our relationship with North Korea. He doesn't want anyone to attack anything, unless he can do it in a way that has no repercussions (e.g., bombing Syria -- and the pushback there from Russia may have been something he didn't expect).

I think it's all a question of how desperate he gets domestically. If you see his poll numbers death spiral into the low thirties, war is about the only way he'd be able to reverse them.
