Let’s see how long it takes before he gets another pardon and a government position.

One can only hope, I can’t wait to see it all burn. All those shitty AI companies can go to hell as far as I’m concerned, they add no value to my life whatsoever.

There’s plenty of countries (in Europe or elsewhere) where Americans are still welcome. Here in the Netherlands we have quite a American community and we like having them, as long as they’re not maga crazies.

I think that people with access to higher education who also have constant access to world news is bound to lead to people not wanting to put their kids through it. If you compare that to someone who barely has access to the internet and whose main focus is trying to feed their family and it’s a whole different situation. Humans need meaning in their lives and in western societies this has been waning for a while now.

Nothing. The thing he said about openly shooting someone in the street without meaningful consequences is getting more and more true every day.

Bro… condemning them is such a low bar and these ass politicians here are not even willing to take that step. It takes almost 0 effort and is very low risk. We have territories that “belong” to the Netherlands close by that are afraid of what’s going on with their neighbor and you won’t even speak up about it. Weak.

Yeah they do, it’s the one Ghislaine Maxwell is in. The one that’s basically a regular house that you can’t leave.

I agree, uncle Bob does not need AI to make a video of a polar bear shooting an RPG into a house after ringing the door bell. My main issue with AI is that it’s so publicly available that people have started using it for the dumbest shit. Why do you need to constantly ask it stuff? People are truly being ridiculous about it, I have lots of coworkers who barely even write their own emails anymore… I’m even starting to wonder what they do during the day.

There’s great use cases for AI, especially in medicine and other fields. But for commercial use it’s basically useless besides being a gimmick.

If they’re so against this they should start an impeachment procedure and actually have the balls to go through with it for once.

Is there more of her anywhere? I tried to find it but I guess my searching skills are lacking…

But stuff keeps leaking. If they somehow manage to block the release of the files, eventually most of (if not all) the files will be leaked I think. There’s not much happening in the white house that doesn’t leak at this point.

It’s starting to sound like some republican senators are actually standing up to him at times. You can question their motivations but it’s something I guess. I hope the vote for the Epstein files makes it all the way to his desk and then he has no choice. Release them and have everyone read about how guilty he is, or not release them and have everyone know that he’s guilty and hiding his crimes.

Go ahead and try but I think moving the dems back to their position during Obama’s presidency will take a mammoth effort by itself, let alone moving them to Mamdani levels of leftism. I would love to see it happen but the rot runs deep, especially at the top. There are so many dems that are heavily entrenched in their positions and as you can see, it only takes a few dems (9 if you include Schumer who most likely came up with this “deal”) to ruin the party holding out in hope of better things.

The filibuster would’ve stayed anyway, there’s no way the republican senators were giving that up at this stage yet. Unlike the annoying orange, they will have to continue on for longer and will face the problems of getting rid of it and being a minority themselves at some point (hopefully). Most of the republican senators spoke out in support of it a week ago.

No but surely this time they’ll be reasonable, right guys? Let’s give them everything they want in good faith one more time, I’m sure it’ll be alright this time. At thjs point the dems are fully complicit to whatever this government does imo.

Perhaps. Or he could rally a whole bunch of the republican voters to vote for him as well. At this point you’re basically choosing between 2 evils every election, the borderline nazi evil and the complacent evil. Either one is not getting things done the way they should and maybe a solid 3rd candidate could change that.

I really wish Bernie would enter the presidential as an independent. Not necessarily as the presidential pick but maybe as VP, given his age. Although if you see how the annoying orange has been doing recently I think Bernie could take over even in 4 years from now and be better.

Maybe this will finally get those privileged boomers that voted the annoying orange in off their asses. Although I also think a lot of them probably don’t get many visitors anymore since they’re so extremely Maga…

It’s also interesting when they say “I don’t watch the news or keep up with politics, it all doesn’t matter anyway” only to then complain when it does start to matter for them. I haven’t heard them about the whole healthcare price increases shenanigans yet but I’m sure it’ll hit them sometime soon. I agree that the news can be depressing at times but overall it’s better to be occassionally depressed on up-to-date on things then to be ignorant. I saw a video that perfectly illustrated this the other day, this one about Bernie Sanders visiting Virginia. So many people there were saying “Now that I’m actually listening to him he’s a really nice and sensible guy”. Drives me insane.

Most of the people I talked to about it when I visited my in-laws in Michigan a week ago were saying that they thought people on SNAP were people that couldn’t be bothered to work… So not everyone has gotten the message yet. Tbf their county is definitely a very red one but it still amazed me how sheltered they were from things. I somehow know more about US politics as a Dutchie then they do. They had no idea that most SNAP recipients are people working minimum wage jobs that can’t get by otherwise due to minimum wage being so little.

Hell, they didn’t even know what the no kings protest was about…
