That depends who and how often, as history has shown time and time again.

I don’t advocate murder, but saying it’s never effective is arguing with reality.

Please? Please diagnose with it? I will frame that shit, put it on the wall forever.

This might also flop in court. When the feds don’t regulate a thing, often they cannot stop the states from doing so. But details matter.

He knew that DOGE was a joke from the start. Everyone did. You know how we know? His complete lack of research. Anyone, even an elementary school student, would ask how something works before taking a hammer to it… But only if they cared to get it right, right? And look at what DOGE didn’t touch. Military waste, dirty cops, etc.

He’s not gone, though. They lie constantly, and of course about this.

Yes of course it is a giant scam. That was the entire point. But it’s not just one person. The military industrial complex has many moving parts.

What’s an “actual” expense, anyway. Money is being spent on things and services. It’s probably not being burned in a campfire.

Talking about the book is really a waste of time. Read it or don’t, but discussing the context of the book is boring.

That is my opinion. Of course people may disagree, sok.

If you always do, then that means it’s normal, by definition.

The funny thing is that if AI coding were that good, we would already see widespread adoption in open source projects. But we haven’t, because it sucks. Of course commercial software development companies are free to lie about how much they use AI, or get creative with their metrics so they can get their KPI bonuses. So we can’t really believe anything they say. But we can believe in transparency.

As always, there are so many people selling snake oil by saying the word AI without actually telling you what they mean. Quite obviously there are a great many tools that one could call AI that can be and are and have been used to help do a ton of things, with many of those technologies going back decades. That’s different from using ChatGPT to write your project. Whenever you hear someone write about AI and not give clear definitions, there’s a good chance they’re full of s***.

Not only the shareholders. If some of the higher level administration can get richer in the short run, even if that might actually hurt the shareholders in the medium run, you can bet that many of them will do so.

A great number of people have thought of many non-religious reasons. If you look online, you can find them. I’m sure you’ve heard some of them before, and it just slipped your mind momentarily.

Nobody really believes Musk is being shut out of the administration. Trump and Musk lie constantly. Of course they’re lying about this.

Right right that’s true, we should focus on the future. But if you’re too blind to realize that most Washington Democrats are never going to help make things better, you need to look at the past more.

We got where we are for many reasons, which definitely include the actions of Democratic president and congresspeople over the last three decades. Those people brought us where we are, with Republican help of course, so we would be fools to expect any better from them going forward.

And we all know that the university is just f****** around. They will withhold whatever documentation for a month or two, and then if he gets a lawyer they will quietly cave, because they never cared one way or the other, they’re just afraid of Trump.

I don’t quite agree. On the one hand, all of those companies that publicly caved to Trump are f****** terrible. On the other hand, a lot of DEI policies are actually basic common sense, because if you want to get skilled employees, it’s pretty ridiculous to exclude everyone who’s not white male. Which is to say, if companies have similar policies to what they had before even using a different name, it’s probably good for them and their employees, even if their cowardice is bad for the nation.

Because there are multiple people in the GOP, obviously. They all have their own agendas.

Some bureaucrats will decide what to cut. It is those offices and committees – probably both public and private – that are the death panels.

I don’t think the claim to Christianity is particularly relevant. Organized religion has been abused for its entire existence – one might reasonably argue that that was the point of it.

Ask the article’s author. They could have linked to a PDF court filing but of course they didn’t, because they suck at journalism.

This is overly simple. You can’t legitimately believe that an explanation only focusing on one person is sufficient to predict American politics. Nope, no chance. Meh.
