Q: “The worst case is that AI will turn against humanity. Do we have guardrails? Trump: It’s going to be fine. We’ll always have something to stop them. We’ll have a little gear - boom. ‘I really don’t like that robot.’“ Feel better about it?

The fact that not only are we selling tracts of our beautiful national parks to INTERNATIONAL mining companies, but also bringing back (previously banned) murdering wildlife by cyanide injections hidden in bait to rid said parks of natural wildlife is literally making me nauseous from anger.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Regarding the tariff opinion, Trump is calling the Supreme Court majority members "fools" and "lap dogs," and the original plaintiffs "real slimeballs." Only he, the great Drumph, is in the right. So he claims to apply another 10% universal tariff. That'll show em!

Anything, overdone, loses impact and becomes dull. Poor writer's crutch for a character's emotion or vocabulary?
