They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the US would continue to be involved in foreign wars, and they were right!

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Amazing. Trump is resuming nuclear peace talks with Iran after threatening war because Trump ripped up the previous nuclear deal. If successful talks occur, he’ll take credit for solving a problem he created. I’m so tired.

This isn’t a deferral, it’s a ransom note. The Trump Administration is using kids as pawns in their campaign of retribution against our state.

In Trump’s Case for War, a Series of False or Unproven Claims

Worst regime in the world I’ll leave up for debate.

But craziest? No. Iran’s foreign policy has been rational. Support for proxy militias, limited tit-for-tat launches, nuclear pursuits, negotiations or not, all power politics statecraft.

(Preemptive counter-strawman: Rational does not mean good).

Everything is clear except for:
1. What is the legal justification for war?
2. What is the political objective of the war/what are the conditions for victory?
3. What is the exit strategy?
4. How sustainable is the use of force over time?
5. How is US national security threatened by Iran?

The birthright citizenship IS an easy case. That’s the point. That’s the flex. β€œNo matter what rights you think you have, no matter how universally acknowledged you think they are, no matter how central to American values those rights are, WE decide whether or not you have those rights”……

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

Former girlfriend-beater James Comer prevaricating about the Clintons and Epstein, even though he has no questions at all for the current president about his longstanding relationship with Epstein.

James Comer wants transparency! Just not the kind that includes the current president or lets the public see anything beyond curated GOP talking points.
