On hidden camera, pardon brokers Jack Burkman & Jacob Wohl told a 60 Minutes source $300,000 could help a felon get a presidential pardon. Three hundred grand. Wild. When a pardon has a price tag, justice is a luxury item & you can't afford it. #TrumpsCorruptCongress #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

That's not possible. In 2025, the smartest person in history took complete control of federal government IT and his "DOGE" modernized and secured everything. Right? Surely that wasn't just a data heist by a billionaire white nationalist and a bunch of 20-year-old freaks from neo-Nazi chatrooms?

This is insanity. Irish Presidency's draft text of amendments to the GDPR allows training & operation of any AI without safeguards & tough legal basis (under "legitimate interest" a company claims what it is doing is OK. Up to you to find out and challenge in court). This is a free pass for US Tech.
