That pocket square summed him up perfectly.

Also I didn't say the idea of AI weapons was something in the speech. That was a result of the speech. An announcement by Google changing their commitment from not using AI for weapons to using it for weapons was just one of those outcomes.

JD Vance's speech.

Did you hate his AI speech as well?

I thought it was horrid. Dangerous. Stupid. Let me guess - you think "move fast and break things" is smart. You love the idea of autonomous AI piloted weapons?

I thought it proved exactly what I've feared from the techbros getting into bed with trump. You do know what that's called, right?

Fascism.

More explicitly, dangerous, deadly, ignorance based fascism.

#18

"But, but, but... that doesn't mean a thing!" - the usual suspects

#13 - hilarious revisionism and imperialism you have embraced so deeply.

That was brilliant work there, Ebs. Brilliant.

Here's the thing. He is 100% spot-on with his remarks.

If you're a fascist. Sure. Which he is. And he proved it by immediately by meeting with AfD.
Germany reacted:
Vance criticized for suggesting AfD as political partner
Germany criticizes Vance's remarks as election interference
German defence minister calls Vance's comments unacceptable
AfD monitored by German security for right-wing extremism
Elon Musk publicly backs AfD

Good job on finally embracing and acknowledging who you are.

"BrainDead" - because a worm just wasn't as good as an alien insect!

Where'd ya go?

#22 and #23 - Are you both actually that stupid? Did you engage your brains at all before posting? Or are you just utterly clueless on the scale of things, and that the US accounted for 50% of the aid going to the IRC specifically for these hospitals on the Myanmar/Thai border to care for these refugees? Do you know the size and scope of IRC's work?

It's always blame everyone else for the repercussions of your incredibly bad decisions. That's why you love you some Trump. He's a master at killing people and blaming everyone else for it.

"Coward"

"Oceanic MAGA society rests ultimately on the belief that Big Brother is omnipotent and that the Party is infallible. But since in reality Big Brother is not omnipotent and the party is not infallible, there is need for an unwearying, moment-to-moment flexibility in the treatment of facts. The keyword here is BLACKWHITE. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to BELIEVE that black is white, and more, to KNOW that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary."

George Orwell, 1984

#12 - that was a pityful attempt. Comparing reality and direct impact to that? No wonder all you can do is post cartoons.

"President Trump ordered his advisers to calculate new tariff levels globally, an ambitious task that could set off furious negotiations in the coming months."

She's all yours now!
ENJOY!

Freeland is not alone, either:

"Jagmeet Singh, head of Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP)" said "We want to put 100% tariff on Tesla cars. You pick a fight with Canada. We're going to fight back," Singh said. "We want to make sure Donald Trump and Elon Musk feel it. So that's our vision. We want to be able to support Canadians to buy Canadian."

How is it acceptance when you have to capitulate?

---- that.

Unless they've changed something, the CDC counts "children" in their "death by gun" stats

Children: 0-17, not 21.
They do have an additional category, "adolescents" that is 15-19, for specific statistical analysis.

"CDC analyzed unintentional firearm injury deaths among infants, children, adolescents aged 0"17 years (referred to as children in this report) in the United States to examine their characteristics."

You sure filled this thread up with strawman arguments.

I was specific and clear on what I said.

If you have to make up so much shht and attribute it to me, then call me a liar for what you said I said, not what I said, then maybe you should drop back and consider that maybe... just maybe - you don't have a point.

#65 - you will never have the level of goodness, humanity, and moral backbone that Kerry has in just one finger. Am I surprised you'd say he is not honorable? No. It is who you are.

As to Gabbard, is she a traitor? That has a very specific meaning to me. I find her to be dishonorable, dangerous, and of extremely poor judgement. Let's take a look:
She love herself some good ol' Siddhaswarupananda!
She (not disputable) had week-long trip with "meetings" with Bashar al-Assad. She then came back and proclaimed that poor little Assad was a victim, just like Trump, of staging a 'regime change war' fueled by the West and aimed at removing the dictator from power.
She also pals around with terrorists. For real. Hindu extremists to be specific.
Her constant sharing of Russian lies and propaganda makes her, if not an agent of Russia, one of the biggest useful idiots Putin is blessed to have.
She definantly supports those that leak classified information about our nation, the sources and methods, and more.

But like I said, glad you like her. That's the woman that's now in charge of our Intelligence Agencies and briefing Dummkopf Donald.

If they don't like a book, it has to be banned. If they don't like a movie, it has to be banned. If they don't like the cover of Bud Light, they shoot it with their guns. If they don't agree with women getting abortions, the ban it.

Ever wonder what happened to every spoiled brach child you've ever met in your life. They all grew up to be Republicans.

Exactly - and they resent the Technicolor world we live in and want to go back to the black and white past.

"MAGA welcomes the closures like they welcome the deaths."
Just ask FortFisher.

Glad you like her.
She's our DNI now.
Doesn't change the facts about her.
And why you think that once you've served you could never be seditious or even traitorous is humorous to me.
Especially given what your party did to John Kerry. Kerry was and is an honorable man that always has the best interest of the United States front and center.

Florida's all up in knots over this. The reason? Agriculture and construction are heavy employers of undocumented workers.
It's hilarious how they are tripping all over each other and lying about it.

DeSantis refusing to enforce the law, the law watered down so that the employers of the undocumented can't really be charged with anything, so to placate the MAGA idiots they arrest a handful of undocumented here, and handful there - and make a big show of it.

In the meantime they fight with each other over "solutions" that do nothing to hold those actually responsible accountable:
Agriculture and Construction. The two biggest contributors (90% goes to the GOP here) to their coffers.

But you MAGA folks just keep on believing the bullshht.
