Is this thing on?

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the President of the United States. Happy 250 years of independence. 🤦‍♂️

The news is horrifying infuriating depressing so here's my grrrl Io being a happy little harbor seal. #caturday #catsofbluesky

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.

Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.

No human should experience war. Period.

Destroy America from within, dismantle it.

Use their useful idiot, Trump, to start global wars.

Collapse the system, collapse the dollar.

Start your global fascist new order.

That's it, that's their psycho plan in a nutty shell.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has ruled that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed as the leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) the independent federal agency that oversees Voice of America and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Shapiro on SOTU: First off, it was boring. It was poorly delivered, and it was too damn long. This dude, who’s the worst orator of our time, did two hours. He comes off as totally unhinged. He’s like spitting everywhere, and he’s lying constantly about things.

What do you mean I'm not allowed on the stool? #caturday

Why Tesla "Robotaxis" Won't Be Driverless For Another 3 Years Deep dive into FSD crash data shows incidents becoming more dangerous for Tesla owners, while Tesla's Austin robotaxis already crash 4x more frequently than human drivers.

Why Tesla robotaxis can't go driverless:

-4x more likely to crash vs humans
-3x more likely to cause an injury crash vs humans
-FSD knowingly runs red lights/drives the wrong way
-Tesla can't explain why
-Regulatory strangle: 1000s of new FSD crashes found

Well, no shit. I’ve been raising the alarm on this for years now

The current President of the United States of America is a pedophile.

War weighed heavily on both Eisenhower and Lincoln. “That cannot be said of everyone in power, and lately it seems like it can be said of hardly anyone in power.”

Trump doesn"t fire people anymore, he "transfers" them to a meaningless position in which they receive a stipend for shutting their mouths and doing nothing.

Barack Obama: "We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope — each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law — an offense to common decency — If we don't step up, no one else will"

David Gilmour is 80 today.
Happy birthday, sir.
My ears and soul thank you.

This 👇👇👇 is spot on. Of all the horrific things that he's done in office (1st - separation of families, children in cages who have permanently disappeared and J6, etc.) (2nd - assaulting, arresting and murdering immigrants and citizens, etc.) and this is what made him feel betrayed? WTAF?!!🤬

If you wanted to start a civil war in the US, what better way than:
- brutalizing populace w/a paramilitary police force
- start a foreign war
- crashing the economy
- interfering/stealing an election

His actions are indistinguishable from what a foreign adversary would to to destroy our country.

And this is all he had to replace Noem.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.

They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.

Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.

Rescue America. VOTE!

It is really something to see the US military blundering into conflict unprepared while the Iranians seem to have a long term strategic plan to deal with us

🎯🎯

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

Lucifer has a point

The 82nd Airborne Division, stationed at Fort Bragg, NC pulled out of a major training exercise earlier this week raising concerns they may be deployed to Iran. They're a rapid-reaction paratrooper division capable of deploying anywhere in the world within 18 hours.
