Does this mean she has to go back to Oklahoma?

"Most people don't seek to burn the country down when they don't get their way."

This was pretty much the whole point of voting for Trump, wasn't it? I don't see how anyone who voted for him can claim to be on higher moral ground than those on the left who also want to burn it down out of spite. (And vice versa.) A pox on all your houses.

"All Roads lead To Jerusalem.

Is noticing this Antisemitic?

I'm sure you believe it to be true. The obsession with Israel and blaming it for all the world's ills does in fact become antisemitic once it reaches a certain threshold.

"Your AI appears to have been trained in Moscow."

The lady doth protest too much...

I haven't read it, but I'm guessing there's no mention of "white guy taco night" or "white dudes 4 Harris".

Since the OP loves AI, I asked it to analyze the article. Here's what it said:

Analyzing the Daily Kos article reveals several critical flaws in its reasoning, logical structure, and interpretation of scientific data:

1. Hasty Generalization
The author applies a specific statistical finding to an entire demographic group.
Broad brush: The headline claims "White Americans" oppose programs out of spite.
Lack of nuance: It ignores vast political, regional, and socioeconomic differences among white individuals.

2. Confirmation Bias
The author openly admits to looking for data that validates a pre-existing belief.
Prejudged outcome: This mindset often leads to cherry-picking data.
Uncritical acceptance: The author accepts the conclusion without questioning the underlying data.

3. Relying on Secondary Sources
The author did not review the original scientific study directly.
Filtered information: The author relies on an article from Alternet describing the study.
Compounded bias: This introduces multiple layers of potential media distortion or oversimplification.

4. Oversimplification of Complex Issues
The article attributes opposition to social safety nets entirely to racial resentment.
Ignored factors: It dismisses legitimate ideological debates on fiscal conservatism.
Omitted views: It leaves out debates over government efficiency, taxation, and individual responsibility.

5. Hyperbolic and Inflammatory Language
The argument uses extreme, emotionally charged rhetoric to describe political opponents.
Extreme labels: It conflates general safety net opposition with "White Nationalist" hatred.
Sensationalized claims: It asserts that a third of Americans "would rather be poor and homeless" to spite others.

'an undersea freight train of record-high warm water called a "Kelvin wave"'

Easy. Just scoop it up with a Kelvin Klein bottle.

Just say it: this site has become useless without an ad blocker. It's starting to remind me of older websites that became infested with endless popups and pop out ads, many of which contained malware. Half the time I have to reload or restart the browser just to be able to click on anything, including the text field form. And don't even get me started on that annoying drop down that covers the whole screen and takes forever to collapse up when you can finally click the up arrow.

"Go ahead, Trumpers. Defend this."

They won't. They'll continue with their heads in the sand and pretend it's just politics as usual, waiting for the next relatively trivial thing to feign outrage about.

You could say he was 86'd.

No idea why anyone would think that's funny (apart from as/is typo).

"with Felicity Kendall, who was a big favorite of mine as Barbara Good in the television series The Good Life."

I remember that show from it being played on PBS (as "Good Neighbors"), along with this version of Sherlock Homes, Dr. Who, Blake's 7, and Are You Being Served?

"Besides... it hurts his feefees
and that's what makes it funny..."

Anybody who actually believes this is too incompetent and too impotent to breathe.

People like him feel vindicated every time someone makes an ode to him, whether it's done earnestly or sarcastically.

There's no such thing as bad press for this type of person.

The only thing that would hurt him is if no one ever gave him any attention again.

I get why people use satire to cope with absurd situations, but I don't understand why many people are so addicted to impressions of Trump, whether its SNL, or talk show hosts, or Youtubers. It stopped being funny a long ago.

Sad that nobody here seems to care about Watson.

One day, Alexander Graham Bell will call all of the rest of us.

I don't believe for a second that the double entendre in the headline is a coincidence.

"Republicans destroyed journalism."

The 24-hour news cycle and the shift to digital is what destroyed journalism.

"MAGAts are generally not okay with people darker than Navajo White on their pocket color charts having the vote."

Empirical evidence doesn't back this up. From what I've seen, they're perfectly OK with anyone who wears the red hat being able to vote, even if many wouldn't associate with them personally. Perceived money and power are often overriding factors to other prejudices.

"Israel competes cheats in Eurovision"

"Soft power and marketing is the same is cheating" is the exact same premise that Russia has been using to 'justify' their supposed victimhood and behavior related to it.

And the most confusing headline of the year goes to...

"Obama was a lousy president but wasn't as damaging as W."

The most damaging thing Obama ever did was inadvertently helping Trump get elected, twice. Apart from that, I'd describe him as a relatively above average president, given what he had to work with, even though I disagreed with him about some things.

"Amerenia"

"WTF is Israel doing in a Euro competition in the first place?"

Israel competes in Eurovision because the contest is organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), not the European Union or any geographical body. Participation is open to any active member broadcaster in good standing within the European Broadcasting Area.

This is why Amerenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijian are also in Eurovision, even though they are geographically Asian. In the past, Morrocco and Australia have also participated in it.
