What have you done @muellershewrote.com?? I can't get to regulations.gov/deregulation to report the wasteful use of federal resources to rename a certain gulf that was perfectly well-named before. It seems to be down!

The paradox of democracy walks hand in hand with the paradox of tolerance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox...

I once worked at a place that didn't want its employees browsing porn at work, so they put up a blocker on web sites with porn-related words in the URL. This was in Brazil, where the word for "naked" is "nu". And thus all programmers were blocked from seeing "maNUals", "liNUx", "NUmbers"...

No, you're a bad-faith actor who isn't even listening. I asked you to show me where the Gaza evacuation plan was published pre-election. You showed it to me. I accepted your evidence. Then you said "I don't believe you". I think you're so hooked on arguing on social media, you've forgotten to listen

Cool, cool. I guess you just do antagonism as a hobby. Who needs consensus anyway?

Calm down. I'm not pretending anything. I knew about this comment. I didn't know about the suggestion to bulldoze and relocate. I certainly didn't know that Trump would say the quiet part out loud. So, again, why wasn't this a major part of the Kamala campaign.

Yes, I absolutely agree - I'm with an organization that is trying to fix our information landscape, in fact. I'm looking for where the smoking gun is, though, on Trump stating plans to develop Gaza pre-election. I think it was only (unimaginable) hints that would have sounded like conspiracy then.

I voted Nader, but only because I was in NY, where Gore was a clear win. I was part of a "vote exchange" group - people in battleground states pledged to vote Gore in exchange for ppl in non-battleground states voting Green Party.

Just to be clear here, I'm NOT a Trump-enabler. I'm a high-information voter for Kamala, and yet never expected this level of obscenity. I find it unfathomable that there isn't more mainstream outrage over this. Obviously something is failing here, and I don't think it's the voters in this case.

I understand your frustration, but it's not like I'm a low-information voter. I listen to the Daily Beans every day, and several other alternative sources. I read many Project 2025 documents. I knew about Kushner's comment on Gaza. Why wasn't it a Kamala campaign point if it was so obvious?

We knew about Project 2025. Where in that or anything else that Trump ever said indicated a plan to kick out 2 million people from Gaza and turn it into a private real estate deal? If that was ever mentioned, I never saw it. It's way crazier than satire.

26.02.2025 14:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Project 2025, sure. But his foreign policy in the first term was mostly a retreat from involvement in affairs, not counting the embassy move to Jerusalem. He only promised to end wars (I expected him to throw Ukraine and Gaza under the bus), not crazy imperialist personal real estate dealing.

"Grow up"? Ask them now. Even people that voted against him didn't expect this level of depravity, greed and genocide.

From their perspective, that's immediately fireable. "The government's the problem". It's gotta be something like "Fired 500 people as ordered, without asking any questions" and "Approved 18 contracts for Space X; denied all others"

Grok doesn't seem to sure about this idea, either.

Important!
The process seems to be:
1. Run it by AI
2. Get a list of responses that seem "useless"
3. MAYBE a human double-checks
4. Fire them
Note what's missing:
Make sure you're not lying. There's no review of "useful" answers.
But better advice is don't respond at all.

Just had a heart-to-heart with Grok 3 about the whole "5 things you did" emails. Apparently it's not all that thrilled with the idea, either.
