To those who think global AI regulation is impossible, it is not. The companies that oppose it aren’t doing so for fear of the challenge, they’re doing so for fear of dealing with regulation.

Getting real tired of the President getting set off by something, and using the full force of his position to try and do the equivalent of swatting a fly with a rocket launcher for petty retribution.

A troubling pattern I often see is that public servants at the highest levels misuse their position, and instead of being fined themselves, the entity they work for (state, etc) is forced to pay. That isn’t accountability. That’s using the government as a shield to avoid accountability.

The most frustrating part of politics right now is the lack of accountability. Do you want to show people that the system works? Hold. People. Accountable. Yes, even those at the very top.

I don’t care what we have to rename with “America” or “Trump” in the name, so long as he gets impeached and faces real, tangible accountability that gives some minimal level of confidence that the system works.

I just want to check with republicans: If you win an election by suppression, etc. I get that you just care that you won this hypothetical. But stop trying to claim you love democracy. There is nothing democratic about suppressing votes.

It is a truly odd strategy to publicly support one of the most unpopular stances that has ever been brought up. Or at least it would be if it was anyone else. For Trump, it’s just a standard bad decision amongst many.

I understand the inclination to argue the history and logic of why it is called Lake Ontario versus Lake America. The problem is you’re arguing with an idiot that doesn’t care. He’s just doing it to distract from the Epstein Files, the horrible economic status, and the record low approval ratings.

The American Dream used to be a promise: Work a 9 to 5 job and you could have a home and a family under one income, with enough extra for some luxuries. Now, most 9 to 5 jobs are actually 8 to 5, and being a salaried worker means you work overtime for free. The home and luxuries? Forget it.

Interesting talking to Conservatives about Fauci’s hearing, and subsequently about how they’ll never forgive Fauci for “what he did.” When asked further, most complaints seem to be that his decisions for public health inconvenienced them so they couldn’t see others as easily. Yep, that’s it.

Conservatives want to run the government like a business. Two problems with that: 1. The government provides amenities and services to the public. These are for the public good, not for government profit. 2. Even if profit was favorable, they’re consistently making choices to tank profitability.

Trump is claiming we need the SAVE act to ensure Republicans can win the next election. The catch? Most Republican voters don’t have the funds to get the upgraded ID or passport required, which ironically would favor democrat voters. Even still, it’s unnecessary and unfair for election integrity.

Given it’s questionable whether or not Trump will even survive to the next election due to his own health, it’s a little confusing as to why he even cares. But that’s the life of a narcissist. We can’t all live forever.

Healthcare in the US is designed as a promise that if you work, your employer healthcare will keep you from going broke if you get sick. That way you’re less likely to leave a job for something better, serving the oligarchs in charge. The problem? Healthcare looks for ways not to cover it anyway.

Reps and Dems generally have the same take here, but drastically different solutions and end goals: The take: We cannot supply healthcare to the world without even giving healthcare for ourselves. The difference? Reps want to slash all the healthcare, Dems want to ensure everyone has it.

I want to point out that I’ve never received a convincing argument that Trump is not a Russian asset. One example of how he helps Russia: Wasting money to give us a bad deal with Iran, and using up munitions hurts the US economy, impedes our ability to police Russia as they try to do what they do.

The silver lining to having a Trump presidency is that maybe, just maybe the electorate is supercharged enough to give progressives (not just democrats) enough of a supermajority in the next presidential election that we actually pass universal health care. But it all depends on you voting.

It’s pretty obvious the republicans don’t want to deal with November’s upcoming election. To that end, I fully expect Trump to plan to use presidential powers to either rig the election or cancel it entirely. To that end, democratic leaders need a plan NOW, and to begin enacting it.

How do we get SuperPAC money out of politics? Easy, elect people who will enact legislation preventing it. Or at least, easy in theory. Electing people despite SuperPAC money going against them will be difficult (see Massie’s recent election), but if people can organize, we’ve got a shot.
