This country is so fucked. Nazis on one side and oligarchs on the other. Your choices are to get fucked hard and fast or slow and creeping, but you're getting fucked one way or another.
Please see exhibit A, the US telecoms infrastructure which has backdoors added by the alphabet agencies and has now been so thoroughly violated by Chinese hackers that they've basically given up trying to fix it. It would literally be easier to burn every telecom installation in the US to the ground and build new ones on the ashes than it would be to remove all the Chinese rootkits and back doors. All because someone just had to have a backdoor for the NSA/CIA/FBI.
I will be shocked if the Democrats learn anything from the last election. I fully expect the next election (assuming we even have one) that they'll be running on the exact same right of center platform that they've been using for the last few decades. The only way they win elections at this point is if Trump fucks up the economy enough that a significant chunk of his previous supports make protest votes against him. Odds of that happening are not great.
Luigi worried them, he didn't cause them fear. It's also going to take more than one single event. A line in the sand needs to be made with actual lethal consequences for crossing it. Until that happens they'll continue doing whatever makes them richer at the expense of literally the rest of the world. One single Luigi changes nothing. A million Luigi's would permanently solve the problem.
So your argument is that because other countries are supporting Israel's genocide that it's OK for the US to support it as well? Even if the US was only contributing 1% of the weapons and funding it still wouldn't be acceptable.
To be clear, Palestine wasn't a valid reason not to vote for Harris, for as shit a candidate as she was (although marginally better than Biden) she was still significantly better than Trump. But Palestine absolutely was a valid reason to criticize Harris. Backing Israel on this one was one of the dumbest moves the Democrats made in the last election because it would have cost them literally nothing to withdraw funding or even making future support conditional on Israel stopping attacks on civilians (and not engaging in ethnic cleansing which was where this was all obviously heading as we're now seeing).
He would prefer that, but he'd gladly take anything that damages government organizations. Remember he's the kind of guy that would rather destroy something than let someone else get any benefit out of it. If he doesn't profit from it in some fashion it's a target.
And the grifters have found their king, the biggest conman ever. He's such a good conman he keeps scamming people even though they know he's a conman. Or maybe everyone is just really really dumb. Yeah, I think it might be that.
Because they need a constant stream of data to feed the models. If people had to opt in then they'd be less likely to do so and the models would starve and become less accurate and therefore less valuable to sell. Remember the trained model is the valuable piece of the entire thing, that's what companies pay money to gain access to. There's no point in sitting on all that user data if they can't turn it into a marketable product by feeding it into a model.
Trump thinks tariffs are some great threat and yeah they cut into US imports but countries will just export to other countries instead. Meanwhile the US implodes from lack of goods since nobody can afford to pay the tariffs. The only thing Trump is going to achieve is accelerating this coming recession into a full blown depression.
Anyone with two braincells to rub together should be able to work out it's because of the bird flu. With Trump and RFK running things it's not getting better any time soon either. Might as well start planning on using egg alternatives for a while.
Nothing new will come of the JFK files but there might be a surprise or two in the MLK ones. I don't necessarily think it would be something as crazy as the CIA being responsible for the assassination, but it wouldn't surprise me if for instance they knew about it before hand and just didn't do anything to stop it.
Imaginary boogymen. They've got no idea what they're doing or how to go about it so they're hoping to scare people into doing the work for them. They desperately need something they can point to where their anti-DEI crusade actually changed something meaningful (read the want to be able to point to a bunch of minorities they fired) but they need to be able to show they were "DEI hires" not just minorities because things haven't quite gotten to the point where that would fly.
Normalisation means the beginning of the end of war. It means the entire region becomes investable. It becomes financeable.
So glad to see they don't give a single fuck about all the lives lost, no they need to stop the fighting because they smell profit. Ghouls the lot of them.
Got to admit, this is one of the dumbest stunts the MAGAts have pulled in a while. It remains the Gulf of Mexico. This will have as much staying power as "Freedom Fries" did.
Honestly it would be hilarious if they actually did, these dumbasses would quickly learn how utterly dependent on "immigrants" they actually are. I say "immigrants" because everyone knows they consider anyone that isn't white to be an immigrant, even though by that logic anyone who isn't Native American would be an immigrant and that absolutely includes these wastes of oxygen.
