The issue with Never Trump conservatives is they never correct their own conservatism as though Trump wasn't a predictable descendant of "The nine MOST TERRIFYING words..." They all love the code numbered phrases they use to justify their fascism and anti-socialism.

NFL has a paradox; they want more offense but that forces teams to depend on one guy not getting hurt.

And removing government subsidies to insurance companies will lead directly, and indirectly, to higher insurance rates for everyone else, bankruptcy for any one who can’t afford insurance without the subsidy and has an emergency, and also bankrupt hospitals that provide those services.

AI is analogous to the gas engine. It’s only as dangerous as the driver or the one giving orders to the driver. Of course gas engines have been directly involved in the death of millions, both intentional and accidental. And we do heavily regulate gas engine machines.

I had my own Reacher moment. Kid & I were at facility door for storage unit with their app. First try to open, “Success” but no open. Second try, got “Success” again, but still no joy. I decided to make the third attempt, “Success”, followed by a yank from me. Snap! The level broke in half. 💪🏼

Only response: "If Ms. Harp is performoring duties as rumoured, I think we should leave her alone. $45,000 is meaningless as compared to the corruption being perpetrated by current members of Trump's cabinet. It's also $5k less than the FBI found on Homan. Leave this low level staffer alone."
