That's all it takes these days? 0.0001% of the value of the contract?

all his AI bros are out there in California - I bet those billionaires have an opinion about being bombed, much less dumpity not thinking about how his stupid ads are 99% AI in the first place... this was an objectively ridiculous thing for him to say.

A new college graduate that is going to be independently wealthy and wouldn't need to work ever in their life (but still has a normal spending level and habits) would only need what, $20-25mm invested to be secure for life? $250mm is an astounding figure for one person.

You too can has lawnmowerz 🙄😵‍💫🤮 He thinks pandering to folks that feel or are actually under-educated will earn him that voting block again. But, he has fukked over lower and middle class so hard that he knows he's losing. It's pitiful.

Absolutely. I get so sad when I talk to brilliant friends that also love watching Vanderpump anything. I remember the days before the Internet and man... they seem better than this.

Yeah it may be the case that history repeats because we have to learn similar lessons as previous generations. This was a damn good lesson that people that act like him may feel free and empowered, it hurts everyone in the end and that outward hate backfires every time.

George, I want my money back for that damn ad.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

it's trained on all the classified information but don't worry, it won't accidentally disclose anything it shouldn't... (sarcasm level: 110%)

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

the text in the graphics on that posterboard had NOTHING to do with him wanting to meet with anybody... what are we even doing anymore?

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

absolutely!! What do you like on your corn, if anything?

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I get what you're saying - "But they're refusing to prosecute people so the lie may as well be true, and we're wasting time by prosecuting ourselves for spreading that lie." All I'm saying is that it's dishonest and low integrity, and beneath my standards.

010

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

your position appears to be "who cares if we spread lies as long as they line up with what I perceive to be true". That is THE EXACT SAME ARGUMENT that the right made when they finally confessed that they lied about children using litter boxes in classrooms.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

And actually, yes, their persecution complex DOES matter. It does because they weaponize their claims of persecution and their spin messaging to gain voter support by saying "hey voter; you just like us and the left is out here spreading misinformation against us..." It's idiotic to fuel it.

That's one of the things I do love about Katie Phang - she's winning using FACTS not memes of false quotes.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

That's not the point, but I will accept that this is all you can accept. False statement + "but it's obviously true" = all the fuel the GOP needs to say "look we're being persecuted".

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I agree with you on this - Lotsa lip service but no action by the people with power. What kinds of things would work better?

110

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

The point is that using false information only serves to undermine any bloody point that you hope to make simply because it's based in lies. In the end, all spreading misinformation does is waste electricity, water, and clean air to metaphorically piss in the wind. So what's the point of doing so?

110

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

in all damned reality, what is this false quote doing? You and I both know that it does nothing except provide you a proxy for smug commentary. It doesn't hold predators to account. It won't convince the DOJ to recant in shame, because shame isn't something the institution can access.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

If you wanna go hard, go hard. Why don't you go harder? Why aren't you committing felonies in the righteous name of stopping fascism? (I'm being hyperbolic to make a point) You're not doing those things because you too have a limit. Your limit and my own are not equal.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Also, don't worry - they say quite enough sideways sh*t on a given day to use actual quotes to hold them accountable.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Interpretation of his actions not withstanding (and I don't disagree with you, for what it's worth), this is not factual. Spreading it adds legitimacy to the attempted justification from the other political hemisphere when they do it (and we all know they need only a shade of a reason anyway).

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I'm not defending the guy, can't stand him, but can we find the actual moment in recorded press conferences or in writing where this quote was said by him? I checked very quickly and there seems to be no source for this officially, but that this meme originated on TikTok and Instagram.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

we're getting down to the tenth's place? Clearly there's a spreadsheet involved... I wanna see this thing.

010

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

All the quote said was to "reframe", not "refrain"... so, is child predator the way we wanna reframe?

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

and the fun part is, it doesn't even have to be true. They can just say it's contaminated just to recall it and drive up food scarcity all the while claiming that they're doing it in the name of food safety.

A whole lotta Americans don't trust America these days either

He very clearly uses the "attention to this matter" to flag to somebody that this tweet means something vs his other ramblings.. 🤔

000

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

He's flaunting it to see if anyone will (or can) stop him. I don't disagree this should be stopped and any ill-gotten gains rolled back if possible. But that said, what power structure exists to make that happen?

000

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Well, given that our government all but encourages it, would it really be that bad? ....hypothetically, of course...

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I just now think I realized you were sarcastic. My fault - I work with too many literal folks all day. But, said simply, green laser fry camera.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

But, but... what about our fossil fuel markets?! won't anyone think of the coal miners, oil riggers, and the excuse for wars? (massive sarcasm)

Ahhh I did not consider Hayden in that list, but now I like the idea of those 3 being on their own ticket - the Light Side (of the Force). I imagine a new ticket - the Dark Side - will have room for the next batch to be dispatched by the Universe.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

My family always says that bad things come in 3s, so there's still room to punch this ticket.

I get that these are cute videos, but we burned water and created pollution to see a very good girl (or boy) on a swing. we need to detach from screens.

You have high standards for plumage, and I, for one, applaud this.

man, and here I am as a US guy trying to buy more Canadian things...

I was thinking about cleaning the garage today, and how I have to do it to get my new floor poured. Then I remembered how my friends and I used to (in college and early 20s) give mundane jobs secret mission code names. Forgot how that used to give the boring crap a little edge of fun.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

People talk about humans having a real 6th sense - being able to instantly count things visually with fairly good accuracy (like the toothpicks in Rain Man). I didn't get that one. I got the more useless ability to nail a trifold on a piece of Letter sized paper. So useful in the Internet age.

000

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Yes, sadly. But that has long been a reality in the world. It's going to take a seismic shakeup (metaphorically) to shake the world loose from money overshadowing human existence and safety. Weirdly, somehow, people haven't felt that yet.

cmpumantra.bsky.social @cmpumantra.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Why though!? Other countries posted great clean energy achievements like Spain, I believe it was, powering off of solar for a day as a test. I also get that trade interests and employment for miners has to be planned out, but c'mon. Be willing to change (USA def should be a leader but we aren't)
