Trump does so much every day that is completely objectionable and obvious and impossible to misinterpret I don't know why people feel the need to grasp the pearls on the things that are not obvious at all and very clearly debatable.

His oratory skills have gone from awful to dreadful.

I didn't say he cared - I said he's awful at it. I don't doubt he was trying to scare people either. I'm just saying he wasn't suggesting that Iran should nuke anything. Let's just focus on the 100,000 clear and unequivocal malicious things he says every day and not on this, which he wasn't saying.

I agree with Tom. Trump is bad and malign but here he's just demonstrating that he's the absolute worst public speaker in the history of the United States when it comes to clear communication. People would do well to focus on the 100,000 things he's clearly doing and not the 1 thing he's not doing.

Yeah, but AI intelligence is "artificial" because of its origins. AI is an *artifact* it is not a naturally evolving system. Bezos, unlike Trump, can't be that stupid.

Yes. That's if he retires soon. He stated to the WSJ he wanted one more term. If Dems control senate, they can block the replacement for the remainder of Trump's term. My point was simply this: Dems need to learn to play hardball.

Dems should simply refuse to seat anyone until the 2028 election. Period.

Kushner could have very easily removed himself from any deal with even a whiff of conflict of interest. He chose not to. FAFO.

Most of the MAGA feed I get is stating that it's clear Trump has "all the cards" in his dealings with Xi. I honestly don't know what planet these people are living on, or what multiverse they are occupying. Insert your own favorite sci-fi reference, I guess.

Why not just continue his trend and call it "American Intelligence" and then he an leave it as "AI"

He would still vote for Trump though, because as he puts it "I'd rather pay $1000 for gas than vote for a communist"

It's true; if the Dems can't win a 56 - 57 seat majority senate lead in the midst of this shit show, when would they be able to?

Many of my young friends in 2020 made this exact decision, and repeated it in 2024 for other reasons.

Well, I guess if Trump's aim is to make human beings feel an even greater sense of anxiety over AI, then those proposed names will do the trick.

Only wonders if Trump is a secret Ancient Rome history buff, and he wants to engage with the remaining years of his presidency in the same way many of the aging Roman emperors did - put themselves on the coin and create structures as self-memorials forcing others in the future to remember them.

Seems to me to be a clear case of coding and how framing changes the results. Asking "Are you worried about climate change?" is quickly read as a "state your team" question. Do you favor "planting lots of trees" or "restrictions to lower carbon emissions" are not as clearly read as "state you team".

The Millers sure don't *act* like people who don't want to be investigated. Normally people who want to stay out of the investigation crosshairs try to stay out of the public eye and perform their misdeeds in the shadows.

The 2025 Great Nuclear Bombing of Albuquerque was also averted by Patel, as was the 2024 Invasion of New Mexico. Both were narrowly averted!

Totally agree - this whole move is baffling to me. I know lots of MAGAs, and I can't say I know a single one who was looking for an investigative news program to watch. 60 minutes is simply not in their lane, and never will be.

The FBI director who claims to not know what happened yesterday, and acts as if it's supererogatory to expect him to be in the know about such recent world happenings. I don't know, it's just...ugh.

I wonder whether Kushner would say that Israel's "refusal to give up territory" is "stalling a peace deal".

Abbey Gate happened thousands of miles away, but I'm guessing that Rep. Hinson doesn't think that it is "out of sight out of mind" or even that it should be.
