Well, after thinking about it for a long time, I don't have much to say for myself. Maybe later...

Schmitt's propaganda is the same method Republicans have used since the Clinton/Trump debate. 90% of the dialogue is dominated by the Republican. The lie needs to be pointed out, right up front, no hesitation, with unyielding aggression, or it's Fox News/CBS fodder. You can hear it as it happens.

The ‘War Games’ problem: Computer science has long understood what it takes to keep AI under control
A hit 1983 movie illustrates what computer scientists have long known: If you give an AI agent a goal but don’t control what it can and can’t do, you shouldn’t be surprised by what it does.

Some of the press seems to be treating this as a normal election. It isn't.

Alternative political parties are important. This election, however, the most important objective is to eliminate every Republican candidate. Don't split the vote. Third parties and the Democratic party should be working together now. Americans should be working together now.

Is the U. S. military finally ready to support the American people when Republicans try to void this election? The National Guard?

There's an election in a bit over a month. After the election is over, every single Republican (and some 'Democrats' like Golden) will be lock-step with Trump/Heritage policies again. If Trump rewards voters with a penny it will be because he took a dime from the voter's pockets.

Oh, it's Fascism alrighty. Everything having to do with improving human society is being terminated, while immense resources are poured into creating AI and surveillance tools that enable a small central core of ultra wealthy to literally run the world. The Republican Party is their means.

I notice videos with Trump-embarrassing headlines but with Trump's messages as primary content. These are traps to dun voters with the Trump propaganda message. Favorable or not, ignore the 'dead heat' polls - they're setting voters up for fraud - Get out and vote.

"Trump signed an executive order in March that gave the USPS an unprecedented role in screening states’ mail ballot programs." The ONLY reason for this is to enable Republican mid-term victory. Republicans are taking everything while we sit here.

An instigator of impending Social Security doom is the SS trustees report, claiming insolvency and the need to cut benefits. Who are these trustees? Four are Trump government appointees including RFK. The two public trusteeships have been vacant since 2016. www.ssa.gov/OACT/TR/trus...

R. Reich: 'Michigan Democrats didn’t choose El-Sayed because he’s “unabashedly left wing” or a Democratic Socialist (in fact, he’s not).' It's because he's willing to fight the Republicans. Reich I trust. Most of the major media can close down and the world will be a better place.

Regarding their oath, the best the national guards can do these days is 4 out of 5, and the only way to do that is to exclude either the President or the Constitution. Of those two, the oath first is to the Constitution. ICE is terrorizing your state's citizens. Expel it from your state.

"Asked about Kaplan’s order, a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team said in a statement, “The American people stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes.”" Not me! I don't stand with Trump.

Lol ICE 'investigating on-line critics' is pre-election fear campaign propaganda. Watch for an arrest news article in CBS or Fox with a big scare headline, accompanied by a photo of agents surrounding some apparently restrained and distraught individual. Coming soon to a theater near you.
