Why in the world are we opening up mining to a non American company? To punish MN? Mining on these public lands is going to destroy them and take away AMERICAN resources adversarial country's company. Our representatives aren't even SMART ENOUGH TO BE PROPERLY GREEDY. What a bunch of loser idiots.

The world is not made better by cutting funding to services, and bombing other counties. The fact that MAGA can't conceive of the idea of an attack on American soil showcases an astounding lack of empathy and awareness. Every bomb dropped and life taken is an admission of failure by this admin.

Impeach Trump. Drag the house speaker back to DC by force if you must. Trump arguing he should eradicate Iran is beyond sabre rattling. It is unacceptable. Republicans are cowards. They are losers. And by permitting this, are war criminals. Each and every one of them. Traitors.

Charles R. Portwood II @charlesportwoodii.com · 04/04/2026

The default answer if Congress doesn't decide on something is NO. Congress's abdication of duty says only they do not approve. Trump hates America. Republicans hate America. Members of Congress who don't push back against these proposed "cuts" hate America. They hate you and want you to suffer.

Spineless cowards in Congress need to be replaced with people who actually can act rally people, AND convince other Congress people of the right course of action. Had we impeached Trump in January, we wouldn't be in war in March.

This war in Iran weakens and depletes American military resources. Americans do not want another senseless and pointless war in the middle east. We can't keep bombing whoever Isreal wants -- how weak of a leader Trump must be to be so easily coreced and manipulated.

www.politico.com/news/2026/02... Ignoring the idiotic stance of giving a model access to military secrets and data, the bigger issue here is that the entire point of ethics in models is alignment. When you strip out the ethics models become intrinsically unaligned.

I think infiltrating the Republican party and overturning it from within is also a viable strategy. We have to win back these people, and it be willing to do the hard things even if it'll transform our country for the better in the long term. Sacrifice of self for the greater good.
