Every time they do this I think people will get wise to it and stop voting them in, but here we are again

Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he's only barely containing.

I think the tribalism you describe is part of the explanation. Trump isn't just a member of their tribe, he's the strongman leader of it. They would make him their king because he wants to restore the old white Christian patriarchy. Threats to Trump are threats to that mission. This is what they mean by MAGA.

I thought Microsoft was the one requiring feature parity. It sounds like the real story is MS caving.

This would have effectively ended all ballot initiatives in Ohio. I was happy to vote no and even happier to see it lose.

It seems likely. That vehicle was just swallowed by a flooding river. It's technically possible the occupants escaped, but unlikely.

He's the face of the Republican Party in the Senate and has been behind some really reprehensible actions like stealing a Supreme Court seat, but you are correct that currently he's supportive of Ukraine. I wouldn't expect that to last if Trump or another Russian tool wins the Presidency. He wasn't nicknamed "Moscow Mitch" for no reason.

Should we respect laws that deny people basic human rights?

Good on the band, but it just makes me think more people should make an effort to fully boycott all countries with regressive laws like this. Embargo them.
