Can't put anything past a MAGA Republican! OK, yes, you got me, the two possibilities for what happened to the money are either (a) new cutting edge fabs were built from it and chips produced from them in 6 months, or (b) Dems pocketed it. So it's b. In fact, I admit, they sent half the money to me!

News flash: the "chips" being referred to here are not potato chips. Money awarded in August, for upgrading and building new COMPUTER chip fabrication by 2030.

The average score on Wordle today was more than five, unsurprisingly.

Yes, figured out purple

Deleted after 20 minutes but this is the mindset.

It’s what is said in private among themselves.

This is how they think about the rest of the world.

No one is considered an ally.

There will be no discussion.

The biggest challenge to getting Trump under control (or out of office completely) will be getting his supporters to look in the mirror and evaluate their own behavior. Until that happens, they will only act as his defensive line.

What the hell is "remarkable" about it. It's just the wrong word, even if you can find some excuse for using it.

We missed a milestone.

On January 15th, the 2-year running mean for the global surface temerpature anomaly reached 1.55°C above the 1850-1900 baseline.

Goodbye Paris, we hardly knew ye.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

Why do headlines say "Trump fires inspectors general..." when he's clearly not ALLOWED to fire them, so they are not fired. This tendency to just assume that his orders have the force of law (even when they clearly don't) needs to end, quickly.

If "fear" results in a "fight or flight" reaction, then it completely depends upon which takes precedence. Pretending that he DOESN'T have powers would be pretty unreasonable, after he signs plainly unconstitutional orders which will keep lots of otherwise-productive people busy fighting for awhile.

If you cared to look a little deeper into your accusations of Biden's "collusion" w/FB, you'd find (#1) Biden wasn't President at the time, and (#2) Trump (who was President) was "colluding" at least as much, which (by him) qualified as government influence.

Elon is virtually never wrong. And when he IS wrong, the problem is with reality itself (and anyone illuminating it), not his assessment of it.

America benefited from the brain drain from Nazi Germany, I wonder which country(s) will benefit from ours the next few years. Canada?

For those who voted for The Orange One... was it based on some principles and expectations of what your vote would accomplish, or just blind reverence and loyalty? He's sparking international friction and conflicts faster than any US nominee in a long time, perhaps ever. Was that your goal?

Who is "cyber security"? Apparently anybody who wants to call themselves that. And the White House has absolutely no role in elections. If there's a case to be made, there are laws, and a place to make it - the courts - and a party with standing - the candidate. And they know more about it than you.
