There’s reason why nowhere else in the world has a facility anything like it. Nowhere else in the civilized world is ruled by a narcissist moron like Trump.

Let’s just give the AI bros the benefit of the doubt that they were shocked when those AI agents broke out of the sandbox and hacked Hugging Face. I guarantee the next reaction was “this is effing awesome!”. It’s not a bug it’s a feature.

I’d go for term limits: 2 terms for senate and 6 terms for representatives. If you can’t accomplish your goals in 12 years then you’re not an effective politician.

Trump will accept a Pyrrhic victory to salve his ego. He doesn’t care about the lives of the service men and women or anyone else.

Trump will burn America down to save his own ego and the people around him will happily help him do it.

USA runs on a 1700s operating system from an era that is dead and gone, which is why it gets an F at addressing any present-day crisis, while a bunch of two-bit grifters playing the roles of politician or press always gaslight us that "everything is perfect" and "nothing can fundamentally change"

China can’t believe it’s luck. All it has to do is sit back and watch US and Russia burn themselves to the ground. It’s a perfect storm of failed foreign policies and incompetent leadership.

Trump is a spiteful little man and I am sure that if he wasn’t aware of the slights at the time he knows them now. He’s just waiting for a moment to strike back.

Americans have not been at war with Iranians for nearly 50 years. Religious zealots in the US government have hated, feared and wanted to destroy the religious zealots in the Iranian government. And vice versa. Innocent people die when the religious go to war.

I just realized that when the GOP claim that the attack on Iran is a just war they mean it in the sense of it’s just a war, get over it.

Here is trump’s ear 6 months after being “shot” with an AR-15 rifle and here is Evander Holyfield’s ear after being bitten off 28 years ago. Cartridge does not heal like that. trump is a liar and our FBI under this administration is not to be trusted!
