I notice no streaming services outside of YouTube use AI generated subtitles. Why is that? Are they afraid of non-English speaking audiences accessing their product?

There’s a strain of brain rot where people begin to see everything as a β€œfalse flag.”

Such paranoia voids reality itself because all things become extremely suspicious. Good news is bad news, etc.

Skepticism is healthy, but False Flag Brainβ€”aka 4D Chess Brainβ€”is political dementia.

I told you that if you voted for Kamala Harris, they would take away our hamburgers, and we would all be eating bugs! Not so funny now, is it?

Some Democrats are making a mistake, arguing that voters will be angry at Republicans for trying to raise health insurance premiums.

People who follow politics and already know how they're going to vote will be. But many others won't hear about it or won't believe it, unless it actually happens.

Multiple issues.

A non-citizen can give birth on a US base. The does not confer citizenship on their child. That’s the point of the link and screenshot I provided.

Ted Cruz was born to a US citizen and so is a natural born citizen, per the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Not according to the state department. Military bases (and embassies) are not US Sovereign Soil.

US Army Bases [sic] are not American soil. Children born on post have birth certificates from the country they are born in. You go to the consulate to get a certificate of nationality, just like Ted Cruz’s parents did.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Quote from β€œWhat We Knew”:

Thus one already knew in December 1942 that they were killing the Jews?

Oh, yes. One knew that. But then they said to him,
"What kind of atrocity
story is this that you are telling us?
What makes you think that they are killing people there? How do you get that idea?" "Ah, you don't have to tell me that," my father said. "I know that.
I know exactly what's going on there.

I’m fascinated by how bullies will try to silence critics by insisting that accurately describing their actions is beyond the pale. It’s not a new tactic, apparently.

Quote from β€œWhat We Knew”: It was known at that time that these transports went directly to Treblinka or Auschwitz. Terrible, terrible! But people didn't want to talk about it.
When the German Jews learned about it, they really refused to believe a lot of it. The German Jews themselves would say, "This is atrocity propa-ganda. That can't be so. After all, it's the twentieth century and we're Ger-man." Many of them still considered themselves German. They didn't believe it primarily because they didn't want to believe it. Who can blame them?

So basically. Epstein would be on work release by more, guest hosting the George Santos podcast. If he’d toughed it out.

Breitbart story on the Chicago apartment building raid does not note a single gang member being arrested. Instead, the image of gang tattoos is taken from Texas.

If the president can unilaterally impound funds later, you can’t use those same funds as bait now.

Unless the Democrats are complete and utter morons, which.

Again, Dems could make this their shutdown demand: that government funding be accompanied by laws constraining ICE and requiring it not use Latino ethnicity as a criterion for detention. "You can't jail someone for being Latino."

But instead, they're vaguely fighting for "healthcare subsidies."
