i agree.

our defense budget is larger than the next 9 defense department equivalents in the world combined.

because it's something they have done since 1979 at least. the country's problems aren't the fault of multinational corporations and a completely upside down tax code that overwhelmingly favors the super wealthy.

our problems are the fault of those shifty brown and black people, sponging off government largess, irresponsible, and always looking for a handout. the play hasn't changed. but the playcall has evolved.

blm, crt, woke, dei? it all means the same thing. it's just that they can't use the hard R in public.

not yet anyway.

saving a relative few pennies in the budget that affects the absolute least among us to give away several dollars to the richest among us which totally coincidentally happens to be him.

and these people who cheer this or are totally indifferent to this news claim to follow christ...

anyone with a tenth of a percentage of business sense could tell you a business that produces nothing but eyeballs to advertisers will be a massive failure if said business does anything to piss the owners of said eyeballs off.

and experts are confused why traded-on-the-markets social media companies are in freefall.

never used it in any practical function. i tested it to see if it was realistic and i found it extremely wanting. as in, it sounded nothing like the prompts i gave it.

the absolutely galling and frightening part is that the tech companies think that this is the next big innovation they should be pursuing and have given up on innovating anyplace else. it was obvious to me when i saw that they all are pushing ai shit on me with everything from keyboards to search results. i only use voice commands to do simple things and it works just about half the time, and ai is built on the back of that which is why i really do not ever use voice commands for anything anymore.

do they like getting phone calls to act more oppositional? do they want more phone calls to act more oppositional?

because removed about it is how you get more phone calls to act more oppositional.

and now that the base knows they are getting through, any current elected who is not acting more oppositional is almost guaranteed to get a primary opponent who i assure you is most definitely going to act more oppositional. and primaries are won by the most ideological. being a creature of washington is not going to help those people if they don't get their act together.

this is also not to mention the countless numbers of elected democrats who after biden's debate performance completely fell for the media created narrative and treated joe biden's back not so much like a pincushion but a target fired at by a scattergun at 2 feet. i haven't forgotten and i won't forget.

that's really rich. chaos is the reason he got into the office in the first place, and was offering nothing but chaos for 2 years before the election.

that's because christianity and christian nationalism are two entirely different religions.

because he KNOWS he can't beat me. 🚨🚨🚨🚨

if I am correct in the snippets I've read the new guy is good on civil rights issues. that won't completely turn off the black women. and black women staying engaged is paramount.

I didn't know too much about who endorsed wikler but seeing who endorsed him makes me feel better that he didn't win. no offense to the guy but I feel very comfortable knowing that the key people who engineered biden's ouster, and are perfectly okay with blocking legislation to prevent congressional insider trading, and have essentially done nothing to put brakes on citizens united (in fact I think they are embracing it which should be extremely disturbing. especially since they suck at using it) didn't get their guy.

I'm glad for them.

they don't make electric vehicles. they make human sized battery powered over engineered poorly designed toys that were somehow street legal.

I'll believe it when I see it.
