I asked Grok3 (Elon Musk’s AI generator) the following question:

ON A SCALE FROM 1-10 IS DONALD TRUMP A RUSSIAN ASSET

ANSWER:

Donald Trump may be considered a Russian asset with a rating of 7 out of 10 based on available evidence.

Important translation of GOP-speak.
When they say “free market” they mean monopolies, union busting, govt handouts for giant corporations and the ability for oligarchs to rob ordinary people with impunity.

Yes, that's what it's like being an American these days. Another sunny morning, a new set of nightmares.
Every day I wake up excited at the new ROCK BOTTOM I’m about to be introduced to as an American

"Trump has poisoned the soul of this country."
It's as I was saying this afternoon: while it's imperative that what's happening with Gaetz be reported, it's more important that some reporting be done on why none of it matters anymore (see second headline below). Trump has poisoned the soul of this country—even 9 years ago this would've mattered.

Surely this is not a good sign?
Pete Hegseth, President-Elect Trump's pick for Defense Secretary "says he was removed from the 2021 inauguration mission after Jan 6 because he has a Deus vult cross tattoo - an image that has been appropriate with the far-right."
