in today's post, I actually attempt to converse with the White House's new AI chatbot, and dumbfuckery ensues. also, Eric Schmitt beclowns himself, and Jack Smith rules. thank you for your attention to this matter. link is here: bit.ly/4xSpp1q
What do you mean, you won’t respond to personal insults? That’s pretty fucking ironic, given whose White House this is coming from.

You mean, if I were to ask you — oh, let’s say, ‘what is that fucked-up tangle of bullshit on top of Donny’s big, dumb pumpkin head,’ you wouldn’t answer it?

When authoritarians get backed into a corner, they lash out and resort to fear-mongering. This is why Trump is running ominous taxpayer funded ads. But we’re going to organize our friends and neighbors, turn out to vote in November, and deliver a resounding blue wave. Spread the word.

Don't be fooled. This bill won’t force Big Tech companies to do anything. It's a political stunt to cover Republicans who have been the biggest data center cheerleaders. We need a bill with real teeth to hold these companies accountable.

All Trump’s malevolence and psychosis will be on full display right after the midterms. We’ve been here before in Nov 2020, and here we go again. The national nightmare of Trump refusing to accept defeat and dragging the country through lies, conspiracies and drama begins again.

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

Gas went up under Biden because Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Then they gradually went down in 2023/2024. Gas then went back up because Trump started a war of choice with Iran that he’s losing after being persuaded by Netanyahu and Hegseth. Blaming Biden right now is absurd.

It’s not “raising the payroll tax,” it’s raising the cap. This irresponsible WaPo headline makes it sound like they are talking about raising the payroll tax rate. Which they are not. It also makes it sound like Social Security is about to run out of money. Which It is not. 

As Social Security fund runs dry, some Republicans say it's time to raise taxes
Raising the payroll tax is gaining traction as a fix — even in the anti-tax GOP — to fend off deep cuts in retirement benefits.
