So your argument is that because other countries are supporting Israel's genocide that it's OK for the US to support it as well? Even if the US was only contributing 1% of the weapons and funding it still wouldn't be acceptable.

To be clear, Palestine wasn't a valid reason not to vote for Harris, for as shit a candidate as she was (although marginally better than Biden) she was still significantly better than Trump. But Palestine absolutely was a valid reason to criticize Harris. Backing Israel on this one was one of the dumbest moves the Democrats made in the last election because it would have cost them literally nothing to withdraw funding or even making future support conditional on Israel stopping attacks on civilians (and not engaging in ethnic cleansing which was where this was all obviously heading as we're now seeing).

He would prefer that, but he'd gladly take anything that damages government organizations. Remember he's the kind of guy that would rather destroy something than let someone else get any benefit out of it. If he doesn't profit from it in some fashion it's a target.

And the grifters have found their king, the biggest conman ever. He's such a good conman he keeps scamming people even though they know he's a conman. Or maybe everyone is just really really dumb. Yeah, I think it might be that.

That would play into his hands. He wants to fuck up the federal government and blocking a significant chunk of tax income would help with that.

Because they need a constant stream of data to feed the models. If people had to opt in then they'd be less likely to do so and the models would starve and become less accurate and therefore less valuable to sell. Remember the trained model is the valuable piece of the entire thing, that's what companies pay money to gain access to. There's no point in sitting on all that user data if they can't turn it into a marketable product by feeding it into a model.

Judge should just respond with this:

I don't want to think about trump having sex in a bar!

That sentence could have ended three words sooner.

Trump speaks biggly and carries a soft stick.

Trump thinks tariffs are some great threat and yeah they cut into US imports but countries will just export to other countries instead. Meanwhile the US implodes from lack of goods since nobody can afford to pay the tariffs. The only thing Trump is going to achieve is accelerating this coming recession into a full blown depression.

Anyone with two braincells to rub together should be able to work out it's because of the bird flu. With Trump and RFK running things it's not getting better any time soon either. Might as well start planning on using egg alternatives for a while.

Nothing new will come of the JFK files but there might be a surprise or two in the MLK ones. I don't necessarily think it would be something as crazy as the CIA being responsible for the assassination, but it wouldn't surprise me if for instance they knew about it before hand and just didn't do anything to stop it.

Imaginary boogymen. They've got no idea what they're doing or how to go about it so they're hoping to scare people into doing the work for them. They desperately need something they can point to where their anti-DEI crusade actually changed something meaningful (read the want to be able to point to a bunch of minorities they fired) but they need to be able to show they were "DEI hires" not just minorities because things haven't quite gotten to the point where that would fly.

Normalisation means the beginning of the end of war. It means the entire region becomes investable. It becomes financeable.

So glad to see they don't give a single fuck about all the lives lost, no they need to stop the fighting because they smell profit. Ghouls the lot of them.
