Alas, we still have many who believe the best way to stop a bad guy breaking the law is with a good guy breaking the law.
Probably the same level of concern, but much harder to go after.

OK, this has been stated many times by Democrats. Does that make it fact?
Maybe even the right of creators to say nothing at all and not have their work copied for AI.

If your plan is to go into the office 16 hours after these things, have your staff type up a press release for you to approve which goes out a few hours later, then you need to give up your seat to someone who understands it’s 2025.

09.01.2025 22:32 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Still, intuitively, this strikes me as very, very good news. I mean, the plan just seemed to be to kneecap the US government, not to make it more efficient or ruthless but to declaw it for Putin's sake. Maybe that's still the plan, but 1 billion of that 2 billion goes into his pocket?

The surprise Romanian prez candidate reported 0 campaign budget and rocketed to 22% in the first round because, as they later reported, tens of millions were spent on his TikTok using crypto.

If he is slightly neurodivergent, could it be that he sees it all in black and white, and the terror his remarks and decisions cause is just a number for him? Zuck and Bezos are scary, but they don't come right out and threaten like him.
Badd, the election is in 2 days. Investigations are good, but this is very short notice.

I haven't heard this before.
I think mostly no; but he doesn't even say much about what he actually plans to do. He talks chest-beating patriotism and conspiracy theories. When journalists came to ask him questions, he ran inside his house and talked to his phone instead.
