Robert Stevens

👌IT STINKS!

Another wealthy white male sociopath.

Fair. I'm not familiar with the politics in either CA or NY (and I wasn't talking about Pelosi). Just guessing at an explanation.

I don't know about you, but I'm actually capable of doing more than one thing at once. So maybe fuck off with your unsolicited advice, and focus your energy somewhere else.

Bernie? The guy who has indicated that he agrees with RFK Jr. on several issues and who has refused to say whether he's going to vote to confirm him? That Bernie Sanders? The guy who has accomplished fuck all in decades in the Senate. We're doomed.

Stewart has been shit since his return. He endlessly played the "both sides" game, and helped drive Biden out of the race. Apparently he decided he wanted to be Bill Maher when he grew up.

There are a lot of people who have been saying that these things were going to happen that were told over and over again to "stop overreacting."

There's a big difference between saying "It's illegal" and saying "It's not going to happen because it's illegal," the latter of which is what I find naive and argue against.

While I agree with you, way too many make these "it's illegal" posts as a way to tell people to stop being upset because, as they seem to think, it won't happen because it's illegal. So it's not a binary. One can acknowledge that it's illegal, and say that it's entirely possible.

Imagine if a real newspaper covered it. You know, one that could write real headlines and not just sanewashing clickbait.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Was there anyone who actually thought about it that didn't realize that this was where the "we're only going to go after the criminals" BS was headed?

Current AI is the perfect representation of "Garbage In, Garbage Out." Until these models learn how to properly assess sources, they'll continue to be useless at best, harmful at worst.

They accomplished what they wanted to do -- they made Trump super happy. Not that he won't continue to crap on them and call them the "enemy of the people" at every opportunity.

The OP acts like the only alternative to Tesla is gas-only or hybrid vehicles. False binaries are a pathetic rhetorical fallacy used by people with no real good arguments.

Or, you know, replace it with another EV. There are plenty of them that are made by non-Nazis. What a fucking stupid take.

Why would Republicans stand up when Democrats aren’t? I’ve seen a lot of “we’re concerned,” but little else. And a lot of Democrats acting as if things are normal and decorum is priority 1.

"Economic anxiety" has only ever been a cover for racism and misogyny, which is what cost us the last election. But Democrat's are going to fall for it AGAIN. Biden and Harris HUGELY improved the economy, and got no credit for it. FFS.

Instead they're all circling the wagons and defending each other. "Look at this one article we published on page 50 that said Project 2025 was bad!"

Sorry you can't turn on your lights or heat / cool your house. The plagiarism machines need that power.

After all this time, and thousands upon thousands of proven lies from Trump, you useless butt kissers in the press still can't bring yourself to say "TRUMP LIED." FFS. Stop normalizing the insanity of Herr Trump.

There is no such thing as Nazi-adjacent. If you're enabling Nazis, you're a Nazi. Regardless of whether you actually "believe" in the cause or not.

Easy to predict that there will be a lot of knee bending and no tough questions, all in the interest of preserving access. I'd love to end up being surprised, but I'm not holding my breath.

"It's just politics" is about the most white privileged thing anyone can say, and that's exactly what this sounds like. "Just sit back and watch the movie." Reminds me of Clayton Williams, running for gov in Texas saying "Rape's like the weather. If you can't stop it, lie back and enjoy it."

It's not. I've been checking.

People keep saying that, but if the legislative branch and the judicial branch do fuck all to stop him, it doesn't matter if it's illegal. The people in charge of making the laws and interpreting the laws are not doing their job, and he runs the branch that's supposed to enforce the laws.

Well, certainly when the "checks and balances" are gone. Theoretically the legislative and judicial branches could at least slow him down, but we'll never know, because they're not even raising a finger to do so.

Elon became the poster boy for wild speculation clothed as responsible forecasting turning tech stocks into meme stocks. Tech journals and business journals have fanned the fire by acting like stenographers instead of journalists.

They just can't stop normalizing / sanewashing what is going on, just like they couldn't do so with Trump. He fundamentally broke them.

If there's one thing I've learned to count one, it's that the MSM and Washington journalists in particular, will not admit fault and will circle the wagons whenever one of them is accused of wrongdoing, and doing absolutely not one whit of introspection. Case in point is you. Look in a mirror.

My mother and her family hid Jews in the Netherlands. She joined the Underground when she turned 17. She worshipped the US. She lived long enough to see the first Trump presidency and its parallels to 1930s Germany. I'm glad she passed away before seeing this.
