Around social media, Trumpers are attempting to make the argument that he can unilaterally get away with changes to election laws for "Federal elections". I think an argument can be made that there is no such thing as a Federal election. Senators and Representatives of each State are chosen by the citizens of those respective States. For example, an eligible voter in Texas cannot vote on a US Senate race in Wyoming, therefor making it a State election to chose a Federal representative. In fact, unless we eliminate the Electoral Collage, even the POTUS is not determined by a Federal election. It is decided by series of state elections which determine how Electoral votes will be allocated. Constitutionally the POTUS does not have the powers to regulate ANY elections. (No Kings?) I hope the SCOTUS recognizes this. But with this court it's anyone's guess.

Pump and Dump of the month?

Is there a better way for Putin to convey orders to his little puppet than to have them walked in and delivered personally?

There is absolutely zero thought or strategy behind the actions that are costing us billions of dollars a day.

There is if you think of Trump as an enemy of the United States.

Trump isn't going to cross his master, Putin.

I think that's peanuts compared to the total that the Trump Crime Syndicate has grifted from our nation and the world.

It looks like I'm going to be spending some time using MY Sharpie to write 'Felon'.

You'd think a guy worth about $1.5 billion could afford to summon an Uber.

Garlands delays in prosecuting Trump over a number of issues are inexcusable.

Soon enough, the dollar will be a worthless as Trump. So there's that...

I thought it would be interesting to ask Google "what percentage of the workforce will be replaced by ai". Its response:

AI Overview
Estimates on AI-driven workforce replacement vary, with recent studies suggesting that roughly 11.7% of the U.S. workforce could already be replaced by AI based on current technical capabilities, a figure that is expected to rise to 25-30% of jobs globally by 2030. While long-term projections suggest that up to 50% to 60% of jobs could be automated by 2040"2050, most experts emphasize that AI will transform work tasks rather than cause mass, immediate unemployment.

Current AI Workforce Impact (2025"2026)
Replacement Already Possible: A late 2025 MIT study found that 11.7% of the U.S. labor market could already be replaced by AI.
Immediate Job Loss: AI was linked to roughly 3,900 job losses in May 2023, and about 13.7% of U.S. workers report having already lost their job to AI-driven automation.
White-Collar Vulnerability: While earlier automation targeted blue-collar roles, generative AI significantly impacts white-collar work, with 49% of companies using ChatGPT reporting it has already replaced workers.

Projected Impact by 2030"2035
6% to 30% Displacement: Forecasts for 2030 range from 6% of U.S. jobs being lost (Forrester) to 25"30% of jobs globally being automated.
Task-Level Changes: Rather than complete replacement, 60% of U.S. jobs are expected to see significant task-level changes due to AI integration by 2030.
Industry Impact: Jobs in administration, customer service, and data entry are at the highest risk, with some estimates suggesting up to 26% of admin roles and 20% of customer service roles could be eliminated.

Key Factors and Trends
Net Job Creation: While AI will displace 85"90 million jobs globally by 2025"2030, it is projected to create nearly 97"133 million new roles, potentially resulting in a net gain of jobs, albeit requiring significant worker reskilling.
"New-Collar" Era: AI is driving demand for new roles, such as AI Engineers and Data Annotators, creating over 1.3 million new roles in recent years.
Gender and Age Disparity: Women face a higher risk of automation, with 79% of employed women in the U.S. working in high-risk jobs compared to 58% of men. Younger workers, especially those under 25, are seeing a decline in job opportunities in AI-exposed sectors.

Jobs at Risk vs. Jobs Safe
High Risk: Data entry, telemarketers, routine customer service, and administrative support.
Lower Risk: Jobs requiring high-level human interaction, empathy, and manual dexterity, such as healthcare (nurses), skilled trades (construction, repair), and education.

Where were the parents/guardians? They also have significant responsibility for this.

It would be the only way to be sure.

Until Republicans can provide reasonable evidence of significant voter fraud, nobody should care what you think. At this point you people are working on nothing but dog whistle speculation. You're trying to shove through a supposed solution to a non existent problem.

You'll keep lying about your intent. But really, you're just trying to make voting more difficult, hoping it helps MAGA maintain control.

Maybe Ukraine can pay us back the hundreds of billions we sent them and it will be a wash.

If Trump/Republicans had allowed another $200 billion in support to Ukraine, it's very possible that they could have pushed your daddy Putin out of there by now.

It's a little weird to agree with 2019 Trump....

"The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY! We went to war under a false & now disproven premise, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. There were NONE!"

I think institutional buyers should be limited on the number of single family homes they can own. That said, there is a significant slice of the populace that should not be home owners. They simply aren't responsible/motivated enough to take care of such property. Or they flat don't realize how much all of the hidden expenses are going to cost them. It isn't just the principle, interest, taxes and insurance.

Did anyone ask these little Nazis about all of the confidential/personal information they stole, and where it may have gone?

I'm not saying it as fact until there are better sources, but rumor has it that lots of military personnel are getting ready to refuse orders over this "excursion", as well.

This was pretty predictable.

Trumps version of America first equals America alone.

Pretty soon the Kennedy Center will only be hosting residencies by Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Nicki Minaj. Perhaps Lee Greenwood will do the opening acts. Ted will take a dump on the stage for his encore.

The US had no good justification to start this conflict. Every sane country in the world knows this. In fact, the only winner in this war is Putin.

BTW, Martha Stewart went to prison for FAR less.

Will the briefings be in the usual Crayola colors?

If you look at the actual poll #'s that headline is misleading. Disturbing none-the-less.
