I thought he'd have illegals fight for a Trump Gold card.

Rape isn't worth prosecuting if it happens to an illegal alien.

o-ring naut thinks he's getting a medbed after they repeal ACA.

The unfactuation is more like it.

---------- votes for a guy who drastically increases inflation.

"I knew inflation wasn't going away!"

Trump policy is responsible for most of this failure.

Perhaps.

But the risk of monocropping is pretty well known. And farmers do it anyway.

They knew Trump was going to start a tradewar,, and they voted for him anyway.

Ultimately, it's up to farmers to grow something they can sell.

They have to remain financially stable in order to continue to do business.

Maybe they need to look for another job. Or qualify for one.

Kimmel could affect a much wider audience if he chose a few of the most biting remarks about Trump and moved on.

But he's been going on about Trump for over 10 years straight. Everyone has stopped watching, except the choir.

I also don't care for Kimmel because his entire comedy portfolio is deriding other people. It's all he's got. Again, sprinkle it in, and move on.

That doesn't mean the ludicrous overreach and overreaction by the Trump administration is justified. It actually makes it even more pathetic.

I think every country's counter-drone defense is 'insufficient'.

Hegseth, a Major, reminds me a lot of Major Burns.

I think it's the mania, but it could be the shill voice. Or both.

This is the replacement for ObamaCare.

Yeah, no. There are six reasons, not five.

Hey, at least there is one difference between us and the Taliban.

Do the show or we'll fire Kelce!

I'll have to get the fainting couch.

Oh look, visitard_ has something in common with J.D. Vance.

DeSackSucker is about to be termed out. RFK Jr was looking weak. She's moving in for the kill.

Which one is actually the more qualified? Doesn't matter. And she's exactly Trumps type.

But I think RFK bought himself some time with the Tylenol thing.

This is delusional.

And a lot of the stuff about LLMs "surpassing human intelligence" is hyper-hype.

Even modern computers can perform a lot of tasks that takes many more orders of magnitude less time than a human could do it. Particularly if we include the time it took to accumulate the knowledge to do whatever is the task. For example, Newton with physics.

Does that make them more intelligent than a human? Of course not.

Why? Because a human prompted the machine to do it.

LLMs are just an advanced way of interfacing with a machine. It's just another programming language. It's not inherently good or bad. Even if it "thinks" it is "alive" (or conscience, whatever you want), it does not.

And language is so limited in terms of its descriptions of our world or reality or creation, or whatever you want. Of course, language can easily be used for "evil". Take Hitler.

We have a saying in grizzly bear country, "don't be afraid, be aware".

it came to light the President has much broader powers to fire government workers during a shutdown.

Can you explain? They can't just EO a RIF. Employees would be notified 60 days in advance, there is "bump and retreat" like donner said, there is an appeal process.

The administration claims, specifically, that they will do a RIF.

It will be a nightmare for OMB and chaos in every agency affected.
Absolutely. And OPM. That's why it takes months. Both agencies are operating inside the caldera of a --- volcano.

What they might try is knit pick paperwork of individual employees. Run it through AI (so long privacy of key personal info) and have it spit out names. That will hardly be "mass" firings.

And how do they do this work when gov is shut down?

Much of the trade war is stupid, but is legitimate with China.

But we knew the Chinese were going to do this. They told us they were going to do this.

Our solution is to pay farmers welfare money. For this year.

No guidance from the Ag Extensions, no guidance from the USDA. Farmers are deciding now what they are going to do next year.

So, yeah, go ahead and do a trade war with China, but let's have a plan. The Chinese do, and they are handing us our asses.

Democrats want this small "ask" so they can feel like they are using what little leverage they have to improve American lives for another fiscal year.

Good for them, that's what they are there for.

Schumer caved last time, and got nothing. He caught hell for it, and I doubt he'll cave this time. Why should he? Politics is transactional; just ask our President.

Republicans use their leverage to make people's lives worse. For example, the Republicans are threatening to mass RIF Federal employees if the Democrats do not cave. The consensus is that such an action would be illegal. RIF is a process that takes months of planning and coordination. This is the law, which is meant to protect Federal employees from stuff like this. So is the furlough pay, which would include any duration between getting fired and reinstated again. I know the Repubs think Federal employees are worse than rat bastards, but Feds are people too, with bills and families, etc.

If Repubs don't like the relatively small cost of the healthcare subsidy, debate it, play political games, but don't hold people's livelihoods hostage. I doubt there is an example of Democrats behaving like this.

Which makes Republicans even more despicable.

Stop promoting violence. Newsom has been getting people killed!

Not great to have all the leadership in one place, especially if we're going to war.

But they're not paying me the big bucks so wtf do I know.

Selected versus of the King Trump's Bible

"The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it. Except for the gays."

and

"...creation itself will be set free from its ------- to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Except for the gays."

Why?

If you're pissed,
you're on da list!

What did Newsom say to encourage this?

I can't find anything he said that promotes violence. Not even implicitly.
