This is absolutely unacceptable. Tax those wealthy motherfuckers and get the corrupt orange child rapist out of the Oval Office and into a prison cell.

The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt. Everyone has an opinion about why. But there’s one question you almost never hear asked: Who’s actually getting paid?

Seems there’s renewed news on hacking of fed govt. who are the hackers? If I remember correctly, Musk and so-called Doge received full and total access to nearly every bit of data on every person in the country. The biggest thief in the world, not withstanding Donald. Theft is still a crime, right?

Huh?! Geez! Damn!! Trump Dismisses Calls For AI Guardrails, Calls Himself Only Protection Needed “Only” guardrails needed for AI is a “STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT,” which the U.S. already has, Donald Trump said Monday, dismissing concerns about the technology’s rapid, unregulated growth.

www.huffpost.com/entry/how-ca... Very good article on the threat of superintelligent AI. General AI can do so much in the advancement of human welfare, but … People need to understand consequences … pother than the race for profits and dominance. That is the reason for needing Democratic control.

So, reading stuff I see the so-called Prez could become so depressed at losing the House and Senate, he might just quit … (and I’m thinking: Good! But he light want to take the World with him … by pushing the nuke Red Button.)

The message Trump is broadcasting to US allies and partners today: he can't be trusted and he lusts for more wars, invariably against friends and allies, while sucking up to Russia and China.

Sillans-le.Cascade, Provenance, France 2026 Was looking to stay somewhere somewhat larger than Sillans. BUT this village of about 250 people was really nice! That’s the thing about small villages in France wherever you are. Nine out of ten offer something worthwhile and truly French.

More than 70% of Texas data centers refused to answer a state-mandated inquiry about their water use. These Corrupt Bigshots want our water while keeping Texans in the dark about how much they're taking.

A Dallas Morning News graphic showing large electrical transmission lines and towers beside a data center facility and a nearby home. Text reads: “More than half of Texas data centers broke law by not responding to water use inquiry.”

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Data centers are noisy, they take out drinking water and emit tons of EMFs all in the same package. And possibly take out jobs.

When you think you're gonna lose, you do desperate things like closing voting places and trying to kill mail in ballots--they are panicked in Texas, Paxton looking iffy! It is voter suppression: Republicans cut a third of polling places in battleground Texas!

Uh, just in: Trump Says 'Let Data Reign' In Support Of Data Centers President Donald Trump said if people don’t want data centers in their towns, it’s because they want to end up “backwards and poor.” Yeah. Ok. I be po’ and dum.
