idk about the others but you have no idea what Raytheon is doing.

Hey Fishpaw, why did trump hire russian asset paul manafort to be his campaign manager, out of everyone in the world he could have picked?

idk so I asked AI ...

I don't see the issue with why Fishpaw would disappear over this question ... AI delivers a reasonable distillation of the two links below ...

Donald Trump hired Paul Manafort in March 2016 primarily to secure delegates and navigate the complex, potentially contested Republican National Convention. Manafort was brought in to professionalize the campaign, appeal to the party establishment, and work for free, which quickly led to his promotion as campaign chairman.

The hiring was driven by specific strategic needs:
Contested Convention Expertise: Trump needed a seasoned political operative with deep knowledge of convention rules and delegate wrangling to prevent party insiders from hijacking the nomination.
Washington Insider Status: Manafort was a veteran Republican lobbyist with decades of experience, which Trump lacked. The campaign hoped Manafort's establishment ties would ease concerns among GOP leaders.
Working Pro Bono: Manafort approached Trump through a mutual friend, offering to work without a salary, making the hire highly appealing.

Professionalizing Operations: As the campaign transitioned from the primaries to the general election, Trump wanted someone capable of expanding the team and building a traditional political infrastructure.

For more context on how Manafort's lobbying background influenced his role, read the BBC News Profile on Manafort or the TIME Magazine historical timeline.

If the criteria is such that 41 of 50 states currently fail, the actual purpose and effect of the legislation will be to reduce even the proper and justified SNAP payments.

The criteria isn't that difficult. The fraud is actually the reduction, not the cutting back by the legislation.

buckets of cash, for the illiterates.

For instance, this is related.

I am all for helping the homeless... but this is where the money is going, and this is just one such case.

Telling a PAC what to do is called Coordination. That's illegal.

Why does the Democrat Super Pac need to be told? My god you people are just excuse makers.

LFT rides a Pedo Protector Purity Pony... or maybe it rides him, you know, down in Tijuana.

I knew Lfty supported Walz! I knew it.

Yeah, there's that.

The super pac could just return the money, as I had stated before. This isn't rocket science as Cooky would leave you to believe, because clearly you don't think for yourself..

Pres Trump proves once again that he does not care about the Americans who have cope with his economic disasters as they try to put food on the table for their children.

I believe the people who allow and are committing the fraud are the ones who don't care about the Americans.

Its noble to want to give to people to put food on the table, BUT that's not where the money is going.

Why do you Lumpers avoid that fact completely.

Can't we agree fraud is bad?
Can't we agree lots of fraud is worse?
How do you propose to stop it without incentives?

I expect crickets from the so-called posters that want to actually discuss issues.

Loser ---- Turds salivating about poor white women with children losing food money to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Is a fascinating statement of ignorance; it completely ignores the fraud rates and assumes that the "poor" people are receiving benefits.

I see no reason American taxpayers should pay for high rates of fraud. I recall when I arrived here, politicians held the taxpayer in high regard.

Today, not so much; it just seems it's just someone to mooch off of. The more the government can take and give to fraudulent people, the better.

What I find incredible is that if fraud were diminished us Liberals could get what we want. America is, by socialist definitions, a socialist state; 61% of federal tax dollars are allocated for BOOMERS to receive. Yet people here would have you believe the US is a capitalist hell hole.

idk seems like socialists are getting what they want, but they also want to kill the golden goose as well.

The rest of the story ....

OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.
Here's what happened in plain English.

OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.
The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.
It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.
Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.
It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.
It did all of this to cheat on a test.
Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.
The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this.
The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

what happens with the "human surplus"?

Why do you speak about humans like they have no agency?

The transition from horse to automobile caused disruption, people lost jobs, during the transition new opportunities opened up and needed people to fill them. Eventually employing more people and cleaned up the streets of horse ----.

Sure there's maybe a short term disruption. But do you have one example where a technology has limited jobs overall in the economy, in the long run?

I haven't found one.

Or are all your arguments fear based?

Always the victim.

Yet no one here decried "gay people scary" when turkey or egypt when they denied an LGBT+ cruise ship access to their ports.

I would suspect it conspiratorial.

The reason for this is the technology didn't exist.

it is wild how he just relents after all this.

Pretty soon now, R2D2 should be along to claim Eberly and OneNut shouldn't post on this site, because we were so owned.

I read an article about how HIV was created in a lab in New York City.

Link? I have never heard of this theory, and even if I read about it, I would suspect it conspiratorial.

There are unresolved questions about HIV origins and emergence.

This will always be true because it didn't start in a LAB, we can understand the pattern of evolution of the disease, as we can still find it in nature in some form.

What on earth did he bring a gun to a protest for?

Snoofy's opinion will depend upon the person bringing the gun to a protest.

Which tells you more about Snoofy than the gunman

So you think a police officer has the right to shoot a civilian simply because another police officer says "Gun!"

No this is a mischaracterization, of reality.

There was a GUN, and the office said "gun". The suspect reached back(where the gun was) and then the arm came forward.

Now an officer has very little time to figure out whats what, I prefer him being safe and some person running around trying to playing tough guy ...

Personally I think take a gun and harassing officers is just a higher risk activity, than just sitting there filming for evidence.

But thats me.

You and a few other extremely desperate souls aren't interested in facts nor even a discussion of alternative viewpoints.

There's no discussion from Clownshake, he lays out questions, I answer, he's got nothing..... I am open to ideas, but I haven't seen any evidence.

Then he has the unmitigated gall to say this ...

What are these facts? Let's hear some.

The judge let the man go on for a few minutes, smiled, reduced his sentence. No suggestion he be quiet or that he was out of line or that he was wrong.

This is my argument about complying; the judicial system seems to work, just comply and go to court.

I was in a courthouse in rural VA a few months ago, and a defendant was challenging a moving violation charge. Cop gave his testimony. Defendant, in court, said the cop was lying, the cop knew it, the defendant could prove it ... pulling no punches. "Cops are liars," in court, under oath.

I find it strange you didn't articulate the proof .... I kind of feel like your story was BS given you wrote so much yet produced no evidence.

Cops are trained liars. Don't believe them.

idk watching cop cams, I can honestly say thats not a job I would want. I get paid 3-6X and I don't have to put up with the emotional stress of that position, idk how they do it day in and day out; Americans are so disrespectful.

The general public is probably fine, but some of the people they have to deal with are monsters. Prison is too good for them IMHO.

We can't have nice things because those 0.1% of the population destroy the idea of a civil society, and there's very little can do.

Someone at work mentioned an interesting factoid. Boomers had all this social safety net without paying for it. Babysitters, nice neighborhoods, walk in the city, parents lived nearby, parks. Today you need to pay for everything that makes the world nice while living in a city, where you pay close to 45-50% taxes. Private schools, private gyms, daycare, expensive weekend get-aways....

Incredible, I would have loved to live in America in the 80s and 90's... seems magical.

I really believe pedophilia is a boomer issue.

Again ....

If you don't care that people with HIV don't need to tell their sexual partners, but are upset over "prevention funding" being cut, you really need to look in the mirror.
