At this point there is no possible reforming ice. They have lost all credibility and trust and it is not retrievable. It has to be abolished and the mission completely re-thought.

"The logic here seems to be that if anyone is going to cause a mass extinction event, it had better be an English-speaking AI, because it would be a huge loss to America if the planet were destroyed by one speaking a foreign language." - LA Times columnist Anita Chabria

In her history of the US Constitution, author Jill Lepore makes it clear that the roots of originalism and textualism is racism.

The GOP is a tainted brand. Distancing themselves from Trump only proves how cowardly and unprincipled they all are.

True. But the whole GOP is so complicit in doing Trump's bidding that their running away from him just reinforces how cowardly and unprincipled they all are.

What's gonna kill us all first - AI or the climate? I have not seen one word about how AI helps the climate. Indeed it looks to me to be part of climate denial since the tech overlords and their Trumpy enablers seem uninterested in doing anything that helps anyone other than themselves.

In case anyone wonders what a dumbass Jared Polis, the Governor of Colorado, is who pardoned this criminal. Now she's working for the most right wing county in California doing the same election-denying dirty work. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I suppose that Dem leadership like Jeffries (who seems to be a kind of point man for this) are afraid of a defeat like McGovern in 1972 when the most progressive wing of the party prevailed and then got beaten badly in the general election. Things are different now.

I would like them to come up with a different word than socialism because it triggers some people too much after generations of brainwashing about it. But really the DSA program is just the Democratic program we grew up supporting. It's the GOP that went off the cliff..

John Coate @johncoate.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Taxation without representation was the summary complaint that motivated the American Revolution. By allowing gerrymandering of Congressional districts to restrict minority representation, this Supreme Court violates America's founding principle.

I think the logic is, whatever the GOP does is fine, legal, ethical or not, as long as they prevail. For Democrats any infraction, no matter how small, is disqualifying. This is the Golden Age ....of hypocrisy.

Some GOP senators talk big about defying Trump before an important vote. But as Fecal Midas likes to say, they fold like an umbrella. Profiles in cowardice. History will not be kind to them.

What is AI going to do for the climate? This planet is burning up. I don't see any tech bros who even seem to care about it.

Maybe, hopefully, finally the American public understands how ruinous GOP policies are for the nation. Take from working and struggling people and hand the money to the rich. Make sure white men dominate public and private life. Endorse lies over truth when it suits them. Throw these bums out!

Just clarifying...there was election fraud in 2020 when the GOP was in charge and Democrats won but none in 2024 when the Democrats were in charge and the GOP won?

When I was growing up back in the 50s and 60s we used to say that we Americans don't start wars but we finish them. Now we start wars and don't finish them.
