“Golden Age,” if you own the mine, but not if you own the shovel.

Okay. Sounds like a pitch for a bad movie, but hear me out. Seems Trump has pissed off the wrong people. I can see the petro-oligarchs in the region banding together and using banking and asset management to utterly destroy the Trump families’ wealth and turn them into paupers.

NO! …268 REPUBLICANS KILL WAR POWERS RESOLUTION!!! Without those Republican votes, those five Democratic votes would have meant NOTHING! Stop making this “the Democrats fault.”

What’s this “Shield of the Americas” nonsense? Failing upward? Does she get to keep Corey?

I’m beginning to think that lowering the signal to noise ratio to 1:1 or worse is the whole point of AI. (Hang onto your books.)

I hope citizens are compiling and documenting all of this. Then when the occupation is over, bring a civil suit against the police union for damages. Financially destroy that union. Then rebuild the PD from scratch. Community organizations can help keep the peace during the transition.

And then he will demand the same for himself. Case closed.

The proper response to “what is a woman?” for the rest of time is now, “what is a war?”

The way to guarantee the right to vote for is to work to defeat every Republican in every race so that meaningful electoral reform can take place all the way down to school board elections.

The message from Texas tonight is clear. If you want your vote to count in future elections, EVERY Republican needs to be voted out of office so meaningful electoral reform can happen in Texas. Full stop.

So, when is Marco Rubio going to be forced to face Congress for 11 hours of Benghazi-style questioning?

The past year I have been researching the lives of Gustav Mahler and Paula Modersohn-Becker. Like many from the late 19th century, maternity and pediatric deaths figure prominently in their lives. Medical science addressed that in the 20th century. We must not go back to superstition based medicine.

The war in the middle east has no impact on the sun or the wind or production of renewal energy .

Renewable energy is not a hostage of oil corps .

On March 1, 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps, an initiative that would send American volunteers abroad to assist in addressing social challenges in developing nations.

Because of that proximity, and an established Trump/Pahlavi connection, I now believe it could have been arranged on short notice.

Then I’ll cut them slack on travel time. But still mighty suspect. Very tight production schedule.

This interview was arranged for, conducted, edited and the promo made in less than 36 hours? Travel time for Pelley? Convince me CBS wasn’t in the loop on the attack.

The tech/AI revolution has been a soulless one. It reduces human beings to “data points” and statistics. The techbros deplore empathy-souls are things that get in the way of stuff like making money wagering on wars. Imagine wagers on the over/under of body counts.
