X : Thoughts on super Tuesday.
Me : Trump didn't win the last election as much as Hilary lost it ... the DNC vote was surpressed rather than a surge for GOP. Same could happen again - it's not Trump will win but Biden will lose. Sanders or Warren .. now they could win it.
X : So you think Biden will win the DNC and people won't turn up meaning Trump wins?
Me : Yep. But that's not the fascinating thing. I want to know who will be Trump's Veep.
X : Pence.
Me : Ivanka.
... and if that works, then I can tell you who later on will become the first woman to be president of the US ... Ivanka, Ivanka, four more years etc etc.

I do love the comments on this thread. It's as if people haven't realised what "delay" means. We're not containing anymore, this is "managed" progression of the virus through the majority of the population. Cattle immunity or Herd or whatever makes you feel comfortable ->
I do find there is an upside. As bizarre as it seems and as much as I disagree with the approach, at least we now have an approach rather than uncertainty. I will (as with most of the UK) contract COVID-19, I will roll the dice and may the odds be forever in your favour.
But now, we can just move on. The advice from Government takes a different form. This is not about stopping, it's about managing. It makes more sense ... well ... maybe sense is the wrong word but at least it has clarity.

Cloud developers are falling in love with serverless computing – and more soon should - siliconangle.com/2020/03/06/clo…
... exponential growth of serverless, co-evolution of practices (around capital flow, observability, security etc), slow march of a new faction and inevitable FUD and "serverless washing" by past paradigms.

Whisper softly (so they don't hear you) but "DevOps is the new legacy".
Serverless is in the what I like to call "getting shit done" phase, just like IaaS between 2008 - 2011.

Yes, we can hear all the noise, all the marketing, all the pomp of how (past) virtual data centres or (today) container equivalent will be the future.

See you in 2025.

X : Don't you think people are over-reacting on events?
Me : No. Congressional doctor has said 70 to 150M in the US could become infected - cnbc.com/2020/03/11/up-… - with a death rate of 3-5% then you're talking millions dead. Which is why isolation is so important ...
... I'd rather be like China and get this thing under control. So, meetings and events go online - what's the big deal? It also means less of a carbon footprint. That's another plus.
X : What if we've paid for our venue?
Me : You take the haircut in the name of public safety.
X : But we can't afford to do this?
Me : Hmmm ... you'll be putting your financial interests ahead of public safety. If that's not a criminal offence it needs to become one rapidly.
X : You think I should go to jail?
Me : Not only that, I'd throw away the key.

Welcome to today's #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial thread (potentially one of a few)! I've been playing around with tags a little in other tweets this morning but for now, I'm going to stick with the two I've used here. That may change later on, though. Follow/mute at will!
Today is going to be procedural stuff. The Senate will have to approve the (completely BS) rules proposed by McConnell. Dems will offer amendments, of course, but since a simple majority rules I don't have a lot of hope any of the amendments will pass. #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial
For those of you just tuning in, McConnell is proposing that this trial have:

Zero witnesses
Zero admitted evidence
Ridiculously little time set aside for opening arguments and questions.
As little sunlight as possible.

#Trump didn’t win the last election in #Wisconsin. If you look at the University of Wisconsin study of what happened in 2016, about 50,000 people couldn’t vote because they changed the ID laws at the last second. So Trump’s margin was BS. realresistanceradio.com/podcast/8-23-1…
By the way, in a 100 years of records, there hasn’t been anyone in #Wisconsin who’s ever tried to vote under someone else’s name. It’s a crime that doesn’t happen. The real crime is preventing people from voting. Think it can’t happen in 2020? Think again! realresistanceradio.com/podcast/8-23-1…
What happened in #Wisconsin in 2016? I break it down with Devil's Advocates Radio (@devilradio) host @DominicSalvia in this excellent interview first broadcast on Aug 23. To listen to the full half-hour interview visit: realresistanceradio.com/podcast/8-23-1… #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud

 For those believing or making accusations, based on 2015 DNC false info, of why Bernie launched #BernApp voter database, instead of using shared DNC VAN voter file database, here are facts why Bernie needed separate voter file database from #DNC.

#Vote #Bernie2020 #Montana
2/
 In Dec. 2015, NGP VAN, campaign info data company, hired by DNC, made a bug "tweak to its system" which dropped the firewall between campaigns, allowing them to briefly see other candidates voter file data. Also in 2008 between Obama/HRC.

#DNC #Vote #Bernie2020 #BernApp
3/
 Contrary to #DNC, HRC camp & MSM accusations, Sanders' camp did not download or copy any HRC data, as indy investigation proved.

DNC DW Schultz penalized Sanders only, suspending access to voter database. She also blocked her opponent @Tim_Canova.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
