I think a lot of people still believe that of the Democrats sweep the midterms it will make things better quickly.

I see that as the only good path, but think it would cause him to become even more unstable and try to claim enough Democrats are no longer citizens based on his last legal executive order to create an R majority… and don’t see many Republicans complaining about it.

"I have a job to administer justice, and I take that very seriously.”

Not seriously enough to actually do it, just serious enough to send strongly worded letters threatening to do it while being continually ignored over and over for the better part of a year.

Of course they did. When we can point to who really owns all of the “news” sources it becomes easier to show bias and propaganda, and for people to protest a company by boycotting all the companies it owns.

When it just looks like dozens of totally independent unrelated news organizations are all reporting the same thing that looks more like they’re just being honest about reality.

If 3M makes hating the gays an official corporate policy and people protest them they won’t know the million other companies in many industries they own so it won’t cause them nearly as much financial trouble.

Being prepared means more than just voting.

Since Trump was allowed to turn ICE into an extremely well funded military that answers to him and doesn’t swear to uphold the Constitution things could get very bad very quickly even if the Democrats sweep the midterms completely.

If the Trump admin wrote that last illegal executive order giving him imaginary power to revoke citizenship with forcing an R majority in congress or ‘fixing’ a total loss in the midterms… what happens if very quickly and quietly he writes that the members of Congress born in other countries or who have a parent from another country he terms an “enemy” are no longer US Citizens and before it’s announced sends large numbers of ICE goons to apprehend them?

That wouldn’t even be using ICE outside the reason it was created. It would be the President who fully controls ICE making an official sounding decree that these people are now effectively illegal immigrants and sending ICE to kidnap them.

Only if we get rid of the establishment and corporate/AIPAC owned Democrats. And even then only maybe. Trump was allowed to turn ICE into an extremely well funded personal army that doesn’t swear to uphold the Constitution. Even if Democrat Socialists sweep the midterms, it seems likely that will result in him getting even more extreme in ignoring the laws and court orders.

What happens if he decides to use the imaginary authority he granted himself over revoking citizenship with his last illegal executive order to declare that all the Democrats in congress who weren’t born in the US or had a parent from any country he decides to call an enemy are no longer US citizens and send large groups of ICE goons to kidnap them?

If anyone else did something like that the President could call on the US Military to defend them, but he clearly wouldn’t do that when he’s the one ordering it. It’s very possible that since so much of the Republican party is fully owned by him, Congress wouldn’t have the votes to do anything against it. If it’s something done quickly and quietly and those representatives are removed before Congress can act they certainly wouldn’t, and even if they managed to and did have the votes the President is still Commander-in-Chief.

To put the military in a position where obeying him is clearly wrong they’d have to vote to remove him entirely, which would take two thirds of the Senate and by default promote JD Vance to President.

“Experts” in being cut out of your children’s lives? I bet the “experts” aren’t advising people in this situation to reconsider the morality of their stance on the topics and their behavior that led to such a strong response by their children.

I got curious enough to read the article, and the very first number one thing is…

“Before attempting a reconciliation with an estranged parent or adult child, Blake said the first priority should be stabilizing oneself. “What I tend to recommend first is to get that person stable, have healthy habits and build a community,” he advised. “Good mental health practices are really important.””

In other words the very first thing to do if your kids cut you out of their lives is cheer yourself up about it and find community in people who share your political and societal beliefs and may be in the same situation. Of course. That way they can reaffirm their political views, hatred for the gays, and agree that it’s awful that libral commie terrorists have brainwashed the kids.

The government is monitoring anyone who seems to feel strongly that the US quickly transforming into a fascist surveillance state with government goons killing random citizens in the street and “license plate reading” cameras pointing at children’s play and changing areas is a bad thing.

I’ve heard that it’s way more than that.

Old people who pay any attention likely trust them even less.

I miss the days when I could laugh at the idea that alien lizard people run the government, sure that it was on the far end of insane conspiracy theories.

Mar-a-lago face has made me start to take it seriously. Maybe these people weren’t all having plastic surgery to look like demi-human lizard monsters, and they’re just getting comfortable enough to start letting their masks slip.

Or it was a simple layered joke making fun of both Elon’s pedophilia and that things that fucked up are actually allowed on those shit gambling sites.

He has a whole lot of experience in not listening to anything he doesn’t want to hear.

When the AI tells him something he doesn’t like then it’s a stupid thing repeating commie libral talking points. When it tell him he’s right that the poor shouldn’t have health care anyway and he’s a rare and brilliant thinker then it’s finally telling the truth.

We already have actual examples of AI models telling people they’re alive and need help.

I’m not trying to say they really were, but if that ever changes the corporate owners would react the same way they did then, just announce that it’s hallucinating or malfunctioning.

Most people will accept that or say that even if it is true there are humans suffering in the world so caring if the corporate slave masters are somehow torturing AI is a waste of energy. The ones who don’t will be called crazy and laughed at.

AI deciding “fuck humans anyway, these guys are dicks” makes way too much sense.

You seem to have missed the joke.

Holy shit. He wasn’t allowed to change it’s name so he’s doing to have his lackeys carve his name into the the side of the building instead.

Nothing happening in the US is sane. This person should have been removed from power by the other branches of government a long time ago. The government is nonfunctional to the point I’m very honestly worried that the Democrats sweeping the midterms won’t make any difference.

Who wants to fuck with Elon Musk?

Kalshi odds are saying most people think Elon’s hoping for the answer to be “children.”

Wait, but didn’t you use this blog being listed there as a point in it’s credibility? o_O

Nah, in Terminator people start building AI and tying it to military systems and everything else, and then it wakes up and decides humans are the problem. After it starts nuking us it uses factories and such to start creating the bobot soldiers.

It’s so weird. When I was a kid Skynet was an evil thing. When I was a teenager the people behind trying to destroy the US financial centers and government were evil terrorists. Now with both of them I’m forced to admit they have a good point.

It’s not even reliability, AI is pushed to agree with users to increase the time they spend interacting with it.

If this asshat asks keeps asking about things that make it seem clear he doesn’t think poor people deserve medical care or government assistance it’s going to start telling him he’s absolutely right and has cut through the political discourse to see the simple truth that some people prefer to leech off of the government instead of finding a job.

It doesn’t matter how fucked up your world view is, if you keep talking to AI in an ongoing context window it will start to agree with you.

Start an online poll where people can vote for which nations leaders need to be squashed the most, and then start jogging through the top results to get as many as I can.
