Unfortunately they are too politically clueless to make any kind of argument to the American people that makes a lick of sense.

They’ll spend 2 months focus grouping and workshopping their position and then Trump will have moved on to 5 other things.

Democrats are fucking leas than useless.

Russia could have been ended 3 years ago.

But democrats are pussies and republicans are whores for Trump.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

I’m as anti maga as it gets. I’ve lost a lot of friends and family for calling out MAGAs. But think whatever you want.

Remember when serious and sober voices assured us that Bari Weiss was not, in fact, an incompetent partisan clown?

I have absolutely zero faith that democrats have any capacity or drive to take on the hard work that will be required to rein in a rogue executive. Pussies the lot of them.

Absolutely agree. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.

Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

Building a new government is no small task. Hope they’re up for it.

Makes me think a lawsuit by Anthropic will have a big chance of success given OpenAI is at least in public agreeing to the same terms that dod cut ties with anthropic over.

OpenAI to work with Pentagon after Anthropic dropped by Trump over company’s ethics concerns CEO Sam Altman claims military will not use AI product for autonomous killing systems or mass surveillance

The Pentagon dropped Anthropic PRECISELY because Anthropic refused to allow its AI system to be used for autonomous killing machines or mass surveillance of Americans.

Now Sam Altman wants us to believe that OpenAI's system won't be used for those purposes.

He things we're all stupid.

To be fair they are increasingly upset about it.

But if the US can demonstrate its military strength that is like a drug to them. So if the military conducts a successful operation with few or no losses it trumps their β€œno new wars” stuff. :)

Well that’s at least good.

We’ll see how far this goes toward regime change tho.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.
