That's way too much to read for some readers, if not all readers.

Amend prior instructions to include generation of an Executive Summary for lengthy responses.

Place the Executive Summary, titled as such, inside a block quote tag, at the beginning of a lengthy response. Minimize use of style elements in the Executive Summary, though bullet points are acceptable.

As a general guideline, responses which are long, or contain three or more distinct uses of style elements like bold and italics, may be considered lengthy.

What world do you live in? I find it more likely that each one brags they have the live round! In fact, why not give them all live rounds, if the point is to make sure the convict actually dies?

I believe the rules you describe are from when soldiers have to shoot their own for heinous crimes like desertion.

I heard the same thing as a child, growing up in the wake of Vietnam and the ebb tide of WWII.

So I'm not disagreeing with what you said. I am contextualizing it.

Also it was a joke about DOGE.

Speaking of which, as a liberal, I can only support execution by solar powered electric chair.

"The more power they accumulate the richer they become personally"

That is in fact how Capitalism works.

"while the country goes bankrupt??"

That is in fact how Capitalism works.

As predicted about 25 years ago, Disaster Capitalism has come home to roost.

That's a reference to a book called Disaster Capitalism, a book title I am too lazy to put in italics right now.

I suggest you purchase it on Amazon.
But wait until the postal service is privatized.
For maximum irony.

"So no one here thinks it odd that our elected representatives are like lottery winners?"

Is Trump like a lottery winner?

Is AOC a lottery winner?

"240 flights disrupted"

I'm assuming SpaceX will pay zero dollars to remedy the disruption they caused.

Anyone know?

A whole squad?

Just need one guy.

That is a waste of government resources.

"Gay" in the name.

Triggered the Advanced Anti-DEI Artificial Intelligence.

Also known as Ctrl-F.

"And somehow she, an obvious midwit at best, ends up worth like nine million bucks."

Was that how you ended up with like nine million bucks?

"Have you spoken out against anything the Islamic Resistance has done?"

It is bad that Islamic Resistance has killed 1/40th the number of civilians that Israel has killed since Oct 7.

"Nixon's aides convinced Saigon to stop the 1968 Paris Peace talks, Reagan's aides convinced Tehran to release the hostages"

And let's look at how those things worked out.

South Vietnam fell to the Communists.

Iran is still run by the Ayatollahs.

Republicans did these sabotages and double crosses, and America has nothing to show for it.

"One of the key pillars of US foreign policy relative to Europe was providing a credible nuclear deterrence against the commies, or any other revanchist threat"

Republicans voted against that.

Any guesses what they were thinking?

Connecting some dots here. Tell me if I'm connecting them good!

"He wants to bring down the USD versus other currencies which [he hopes] could boost exports"

And how does that work out for the nation?

"Last time the US had "national trade surplus" was in 1970s - those were the "good times," right? "Malaise," stagflation..."

Trump is following a policy that, if it achieves the stated goal, will bring about malaise and stagflation.

What can I say, other than I agree completely.

"Have you spoken out against anything the Islamic Resistance has done?"

Have you spoken about, I dunno, the USS Liberty?

Google that, it should be fun for you!

"Or, they could just let the hostages go."

It's better for both Hamas and Israel if they just have IDF kill the hostages.

Keep in mind, according to Israel, it would have been better for IDF to kill the hostages as they were being taken -- as they did to dozens of Israelis on Oct 7.

So what changes now?

Nothing.

It's like using the word "allegedly" it relieves the publication of legal retribution.

It's usually because the anonymous sources are not authorized to speak to the press.

You are a big First Amendment guy, right?

What do you think about the government telling government employees that they aren't allowed to speak to the press? Violation of their First Amendment rights or nah?

Who says the President can't reverse an Act of Congress?

Great question!

"Unbalanced trade agreements are a result of corrupt insider deals"

In 2020, Trump replaced NAFTA with USMCA.

Trump created the unbalanced trade agreement.

Was it Trump sharing Israeli intelligence with Putin, which was in turn shared with Hamas?

This whole thing reeks of the Rabbi who spray paints the Swastika on his own Synagogue.

"The truth: no decision has been made at this time."

The truth about Trump is any decision can be 're-negotiated' at any time.

It's a good starting place to understand why his businesses usually fail. It's the lack of consistency and commitment.

"Reciprocal tariffs eliminate unfair advantage to foreign competition."

Tariffs take the unfair advantage you're talking about, and make it an additional cost to those without the advantage.

How does that remove the unfair advantage?

All it does is make people playing fair pay a surcharge.

"Unbalanced trade agreements are a result of corrupt insider deals implemented by elected officials from both parties."

You gonna explain how tariffs are going to fix that?

Or do you yourself not know?

Help me out here.

"attack in which Hamas and other militants killed about 1,200 Israelis and seized 251 captives."

"Hamas and other militants"

The only other militant of note that day was IDF.

Israel's Irgun government will never report on how many Israelis they killed that day, following their Hannibal Directive.

But I would guess around 25% of total fatalities, both military and civilian, including the hostages later deliberately killed by IDF.

"I think if you want to buy things from other countries, and you want to bring it into America, then the price is going to rise"

Remember when Republicans supported the opposite of this, called free trade?

Why were Republicans wrong about supporting free trade?

I would like a Republican to explain it to me.

"the text doesn't mention Medicaid"

Maybe the problem is that you have to finish high school to learn how to read between the lines:

"YES, it IS very extreme to be forced to address someone by different pronouns."

Oh I see.

It's extreme to start calling a woman Missus instead of Miss, after she takes a husband...

How did society manage to do it for centuries?

Sounds like you're just weak.
