Just fall back and let nature take its course.

Was there a DEI verse in the original?

Both Louis XVI and Robespierre lost their heads—reigns of terror don’t end well for the perpetrators either….

It was never this cold when Biden was president.

Is there a “Trump on Mount Rushmore?” bet to be had?

Are the states sobriety and inebriation?

It’s not like in the days of cable people wanted Comcast or Verizon to censor channels or tag clarifying information on broadcasts—not sure why people want Facebook to be censoring third-party posts or controlling user content. (Beyond actual threats, harassment, incitement to violence, etc)

They got the second lien on his soul.

What if one is just genocide-curious?

Controlling the choke points of information and flooding the zone with fake news propaganda when they fake the next election?

I knew I should’ve been an AI

If you were attorney general for the third largest state in the country, you’re probably at least minimally “qualified” to be AG at the federal level.

But it sure doesn’t hurt to have the tailwinds of being nominated after a disgraced, coke-head pedophile.

Trump: “I hate America and everything that it stands for, and I will destroy its economy, its institutions, and its standing in the world”

Average Swing Voter: “That man tells it like it is—a straight-shooter that I can finally trust”

Democracy had a good run.

“Don’t need electricity” as you post on an Internet forum…..

That Gaetz nomination accomplished what it was designed to do.

Policies that appeal to most Americans:

Lower taxes (other than on the top 1%)

Stronger safety next—at least Medicare, Social security and FEMA (when you need it)

Cheaper stuff/less inflation
- all-of-the-above energy
- no tariffs

Don’t need autarky, but chip security

What party does this?

Is that French or something?

You think honestly that *THAT* is what differentiates TikTok?

Of the people politically engaged, something like 0%-1% get any primary info (or secondary analysis or tertiary pontification) from TikTok.

Shutting down TikTok doesn’t affect political dialogue—but it does hinder Chinese espionage.

The only thing that stops a bad drone is a good drone with a gun?

If the government was trying to ban content, it seems odd that they wouldn’t ban content, but rather ban the only large social media platform controlled by a hostile government.

Seems like it could be the latter that’s motivating them, rather than some phantom “content” argument?

Can’t Chinese media post whatever they want on literally any forum in America, and launch any television or radio station or print media they want?

Banning spyware isn’t the same as banning content, douchenozzle.

“The fact that I can post any political take I want to here—and engage in any political discussion in depth here—but I’m worried I won’t be able to post it with dancing on an app controlled by the Chinese govenrment, makes this literally nazi germany!”

Also—you’re LITERALLY saying everything here in a public forum that you’re arguing is somehow being censored by some inchoate (((conspiracy))).

*it’s

This is the ultimate bubble-politics and self-centered “only-my-view-of-the-universe-is-relevant” take on the world

Antisemitism is prolific on the internet

That’s not why an app controlled by an antagonistic foreign power that can access vast amounts of comprising intelligence is being banned.

The before-and-after of Zuck capitulating to Trump is shocking.

Summarizing today’s financial news:

-trailing indicator shows a fantastic economy, and largely unappreciated legacy of the last four years

-leading indicator shows abject panic at the shitshow we’re about to face

The no-jail-time sentence seems to have really spooked the market.

“Unconditional discharge” sounds like what got Trump in trouble in the first place….
