How many times can you avoid answering the question “Did you do anything to ensure that ChatGPT’s perception of DEI wouldn’t discriminate on the basis of sex?” before you actually answer it?

Half of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time. | Opinion For the first time ever in YouGov polling, 50% of Americans now strongly or somewhat support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“Half of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time.

That's a mighty big shift from the not-too-long-ago days when Democrats were warned that 'Abolish ICE' was an electorally risky slogan best avoided.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

4 Screenshots from the movie "The Man Who Wasn't There" (2001): First, a dimly lit scene with two men in a tense confrontation, one gripping the other, with a lamp casting shadows. Second, a man in a suit and hat sits against a plain wall, holding a notebook, with the subtitle "Subject: David Allen Brewster." Third, a man in a suit stands in a starkly lit room, arms crossed, with the subtitle "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Couple of fistfights, right? Go to his service record." Fourth, a close-up of a man with a serious expression, looking to the side, with the subtitle "Inducted March 15, 1942."

Mar 15th 1942 - "Big Dave" Brewster (James Gandolfini) was inducted into the army.

He pivots almost immediately to blaming the left and Democrats; im sorry dude, it is totally fair game for the other party to amplify stuff that sows division on the other side (the right does it all the time), and Dems are not the reason you got eaten alive by your own party and its movements

A young girl stands in her grandparent’s living room. She is surrounded by dozens of cacti. She covers her mouth in horror. Two medicine bottles are spilled over in the corner. The text reads: Are kids in danger at your home? Your home might not be overflowing with cacti, but there could be loose medicine. Before kids come over, make sure medicine and other poisons are locked up out of sight and reach.

Cacti house returns.

Next week is National Poison Prevention Week!

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Fox News Claims it Accidentally Showed Wrong Trump Clip Fox News apologized for airing an old clip — which critics called out for not showing President Trump wearing a ball cap at a ceremony honoring fallen troops.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

A. This is awful and no one, wherever you stand on the death penalty, should be okay with it

B. This is a good headline that refuses to equivocate

Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.

Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

Former GOP House member's wife said Sen. Markwayne Mullin put his finger in the noses of sleeping members of Congress and their spouses on a trip to Israel "This idiot starts walking up and down the bus with his camera and anyone who fell asleep, he would put his finger in their nose and take a picture."

Congrats to DHS's new head nosepicker

something about "Shield of the Americas" strikes me as sinister, but maybe it's just because Trump typed it
