If you are planning on voting for Republicans in the upcoming midterms, you have lost the right to complain about any and everything! Any one thing in the present economy, foreign affairs, and domestic policy disasters would have ended the chances of election for ANY POLITICIAN

Trump’s tariffs increase prices.
MAGA: What about Biden.

Trump is forced to release the Epstein files. Hides the ones about him.
MAGA: What about Clinton

Trump starts an illegal war with Iran.
MAGA: What about Obama.

They can’t defend him.
So they deflect.
Every damn time...

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

You'll Choke When You Hear How Many Full-Time Jobs a $136 Million Data Center Will Actually Create A new data center project in Ohio is set to open a pathetic amount of jobs despite a ten-year tax abatement from the state.

Ohio is allowing so many data centers. It is going to put their electrical grid for their citizens in serious peril and the number of jobs at these data centers is a complete joke. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Not that there is progress now, but instead a pre-announcement of progress that will occur in the future, but has not yet occurred?

I have already assumed that as a possibility and I don't think I'm alone.
BTW this is the 2nd post in a row that the likes were 666. Is that an omen or something?

It’s worth thinking about how reporters in 1947 wrote how Jackie Robinson was trying to steal a job from a white player.

The racist playbook rarely changes.

Yes, it is possible to die from an untreated tooth infection. I nearly did and the oral surgeon told me the only case she'd seen that was worse than my abscess, the patient died. The patient presented at the hospital with a blocked airway and expired before they could intubate.

Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

I know that's what they keep telling us, as they call it war in interviews, but hey, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I'd say their fraudian slips are telling us the truth, that this is a war. trump keeps using the WAR word. They all call it war, when they're not lying or obfuscating.

What happened to Live Free Or Die, NH? I know the motto refers to taxes but when I lived there it meant a lot more to NH citizens. Legalizing marijuana was one of those things they applied to their state motto. They also have a libertarian streak so I'm surprised they're OK with this.

President Trump doesn't have the power to unilaterally declare war.

Head to aclu.org/war-on-iran- and tell Congress: Not one more taxpayer dollar for this illegal war with Iran.

I'm told that it's only considered treason if we're at war so, does that make it treason since he committed it to get us INTO a war?
