So I think it's pretty clear at this point these are tests to see what they can get away with. And at some point there will be a capacity to blackmail people and possibly governments. Or this already exists.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Zelenskyy: “It would cost the US nothing, absolutely nothing, to help Ukraine. “And I said openly: Help us defend our skies and dominate them. And then Putin will sit down at the negotiating table. “Why? Because he will lose everything. Three months, two months — he will lose everything.”

After the New Deal 80 years of relentless propaganda against poor people. Sick. And another thing to clap back on. Nobody since the 70s dared to say the word poverty. We HAVE POVERTY here. It's obscene and absurd. Another reason I despise JD Vance for both looking down and riding on their coattails.

It surprised me how bad some Scalia decisions were even though he was praised to the skies for intelligence. The man never met an informal fallacy he didn’t love. Conservatives deeply love informal fallacies. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. You have to look hard for good reasoning amongst them.

According to the so-called super-intelligent White House bot at america.gov: No. Official certified results do not show Donald J. Trump receiving 85 million or 87 million popular votes in 2024, and I cannot verify that a lower published total was caused by a “rigged” count.
