What is happening in the US is the same that has happened in every fascist state in history: oligarchs exploiting hate to increase their wealth and power. We thought it couldn't happen here, but we were wrong.

If this is what they were allowed to report, imagine what they weren't.

He will never pay and this is what he will allege in court, that it wasn't paid. Believe it or not, the MAGAverse will support that even if they are scammed out of the money.

They now have "reasoning" models, which can indeed solve these problems. But it still needs a good amount of human prompting.

Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

And why are these numbers constantly revised down afterwards? There are many ways that the numbers can be unreliable. They do not always involve direct fudging.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

Those nations became completely different after WWII. Do you really think the US will become completely different after Trump?

The most plausible theory is that the fake blood and the fake victory pose were to happen after some blanks would have been fired, but the blanks got swapped out for real bullets (or never got swapped in) due to incompetence.

Iran won't make any deals that do not include reparations, control of the strait, and a verifiable guarantee of no future attacks. They have the upper hand in this misguided and unjustified war launched idiotically by Trump, and everyone knows it.

If Iran falls for this, they are finished. It's clear that Trump and Netanyahu need a two-week pause to ease the pressure on the economy, for Trump, and to rearm, for Netanyahu. This will NOT end the war.

This person is American, not Iranian. My guess is he never lived in Iran. The majority of Iranians do not want the return of an American-installed Shah. Just today, we learned that the January protests were sponsored and armed by the US.

A lot of rumors going around that they are not telling the truth about this supposed rescue. No pictures, no videos of the rescued officer (which would be all over the news under this propaganda-obsessed WH). Please investigate.

The UN and ICC are obviously useless, sadly. The world is ruled by military and economic power, and the US and China (and Iran!) know that.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

The two-party system has done the US in. Trump would never win in a multi-party system. He would be like LePen in France, always close, but no cigar. The center has held the extreme right at bay in Europe. There's no center in the USA.

His reign will be effectively over by the Summer. Republic-rats will be leaving the sinking ship ahead of the midterms. Even his sycophants will be planning their post-Trump career. The rest will be just a lot of golf and rants on social media.
