Democrats can pass the Rahm Emanuel Black Hole of Compromises and Ethics Violations Bill.

Well people can vote for who they like of course, but it is clear a 3rd party vote is emotional and entirely useless tending towards detrimental. I'm being kind.

I bet in a few years the majority of revenue for these huge hyperscalers will not be AI companies, but general corporate training and inference on open weight models. I can see a time when companies are minting and training their own models, and the frontier providers are barely important.

I certainly hope Lockheed and any other company that "donates" money for Trump's projects gets a positively brutal ass reaming prosecution. Fines cannot be the only penalty, we need to see prison time for these corrupt mf'ers.

The TIME interview so clearly shows Trump is delusional, demented, and is suffering from serious behavioral illness. What a damn disgrace this is to have such a pathetic person leading the US. The swing voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin can fuck right off. Total embarrassment.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Building datacenters for AI training in the US is the same thing as building TV factories in the the US. Neither can be financially competitive. Eventually China and other low wage countries will innovate with training methods that use less compute and also will have access to renewable energy.

I'm seeing this more and more. MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans. This is a fantasy. Less than 10 Republicans could have removed Trump literary any day in the last 18 months. Nobody is a little bit Nazi or a little bit MAGA. It's all in or nothing.

Bar chart comparing MAGA and Non-MAGA Republicans. The MAGA bar shows 96% in red, 2% in blue, and 2% in gray. The Non-MAGA bar shows 84% in red, 10% in blue, and 5% in gray.

One reason of many that Trump constantly says he is "friends" with dictators… is they will never refute that in the media. Putin is not issuing PR that he thinks Trump is a useful idiot.

In 2013, Angela Merkel (CSU/CDU) had a 41% result. Since then, the party has halved its support.

Difficult Opinions @difficultopinions.com · 25/09/2026

This weekly poll shows the CDU/CSU (Germany's currently governing party with partners) is steadily becoming irrelevant. Chancellor Merz will very likely step aside at any time. Once they were solidly dominant, now they are the party of no ideas, only 'against things'.

Scott Galloway tried this, it failed. It became clear one day, and he never mentioned it again on any of the shows he appears. His success metric was his campaign website views. Last update was March 1. Love it but boycotts rarely work. Hard to expect people to give up their calm times watching TV.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R) said he was open to considering a ban, while Tim Burchett (R) introduced legislation that would prohibit diesel exports through Jan 2027. Embargoes don't work. They kick the can. Demand changes work but take time, like electrification through renewables. Duh.

I believe AI has a place in business, but the current money grab through useless datacenter build outs is insane, and products like this are a manifestation of that insanity. I hope people reject these like the plague they are. 100% ban worldwide plus a societal rejection of surveillance in public.

Again, moving the UN out of reach from Republicans is still a legit idea. The Republican Party is an anti-progress, anti-diplomatic movement. They will never change.

Impeaching and removing Trump is the fastest way to end this insanity, but only if JD Vance does a 180 and cleans house, including Miller. Not really a great prospect. Otherwise, another 2+ years of extrajudicial persecution.
