CNN is aware of the importance of noscript/basic (x)html?!
This "lite" domain is really interesting.
noscript/basic (x)html is more than enough, like it was before the web take over by script kiddies and the technical abominations which are google financed and apple financed web engines (with their SDKs...). No need of anything new.
If new, it would have to be as simple, actually significantly simpler (and more rigorously defined) to code a full parser/renderer than noscript/basic (x)html.
If you need more than basic HTML forms, usually it means something is wrong somewhere on your side.
They then briefed Trump on picking a password with letters, numbers, and special characters, etc. - like "maga2020!", which is what he went with.
For whatever reason, he did not use 2FA. So I'm not at all shocked they got "hacked" if that type of carelessness is the standard.
> After the hack, Trump publicly encouraged Russia to hack Clinton’s private server and release her emails. He later said he was joking.
I had forgotten that. That seems oddly symmetric to that.
The Trump campaign says that Iran wants Harris because it knows that he, Trump, "will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House". Nice way to turn it into a talking point, I guess. Does anyone recall how accurate it is? Did Trump really crimp Iran's style during his presidency?
Very early in 2017, Trump sent a bunch of missiles into Syria (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Shayrat_missile_strike) after they behaved badly. It seemed to have a chilling effect on the whole region for most of his presidency. Much less insanity happened for the following four years than normal.
"According to an analyst writing for HuffPost, the 2017 Deir ez-Zor missile strike by Iran suggests that the country has shifted its three decades-long policy of testing, but not using missiles, as a reaction to Donald Trump's escalation in the Middle East, including "needless increase" in America's military involvement in the Syrian proxy war.[121]"

Certainly showed them who was boss.
It makes me think of Great Britain, who another thinker said used to be the adult in the room of global politics, whose advice other countries sought; but within a decade became a laughing stock that was ignored.
I was surprised when he assassinated an Iranian general (and 9 nearby people) in Jan 2020.
He ended the nuclear deal and, between that and a high-profile assassination, started the regional conflict which has since expanded into the current war between various Iranian proxies and the West largely through Israel, but also, using Israel as a pretext, by way of Ansar Allah (often referred to as "the Houthis") in Yemen more directly through attacks on shipping in and around the Red Sea.
Between action with Iran and stated preference for approach in Ukraine, whether through bad instincts or bad unstated interests, Trump's "engage v. confront" ideas have been exactly the opposite of correct.
