Republicans are going all Michelle Obama and encouraging Democrats to take the high road.

They have not once called on their own party leadership or members to do the same in the last 4 years.

Also, the high road involves not tolerating abuses of executive power.

Why is it that Republicans only care about unity when they lose?

Republicans in the House doubling down on Trump support after last week’s failed coup by their party’s members is quite something to watch.

2017 was the first year I remember many people saying was the worst ever. Repeat for 2018, 2019, 2020.

I don’t want to make this an Electron app because it’s mobile focused and my primary motivation of using the Web platform is to avoid Apple’s and Google’s app stores.

Do we need a Web standard for writing to local storage and/or cloud storage?
