The lure of fascism is security. The tradeoff is a surrender of liberty. The expectation of fascism's supporters is that those who lose liberty will be the ones who "deserve" to lose it. And THOSE people are the ones that everybody is supposed to hate: minorities.

I realize that the people who are hyping AI are completely detached from the lives of average Americans. But you would think that the Dot Com and the Financial Crisis bubbles would have taught them an important lesson: innovation in and of itself isn't always a good thing.
I predict an AI crash.

Just so we all know what's coming, AI is on track to displace millions of knowledge workers worldwide. And autonomous vehicles promise to eliminate all human driven taxis, delelivery cars, trucks, trains, etc.
Q: What work will be left for humans?
A: Cleaning the toilets of the super super rich.

Pam Bondi wants to talk about the DJI eh? So explain Pam: why is the stock market going bonkers when inflation is up and employment is down?
Answer: AI. Because AI promises to wipe out huge numbers of knowledge jobs, lowering HR costs for business.
Isn't that just great? Wheeeee!! 😃

I don't like living in a country whose leaders DO NOT BELIEVE in democracy, the Constitution, or the law.
I thought the GOP was supposed to be the law and order party. That's how they have characterized themselves for the last 50 years.
Ummmmm... maybe the Dems are the REAL law and order party? 🤔

Trump has fired about 100 immigration judges. So all those detainees who are being held in "detainment centers" (a.k.a. prison camps) will never be able to have their day in court. They will just rot in prison for the rest of their lives while the prison operators rake in millions.

Maybe MSM should start digging into the Trumpstein files that have been released. I've only seen a few samples, but what I've seen tells me there's plenty of evidence that Trump was hip deep in the exploitation of girls.
It's time to stop saying there's no evidence that he did anything wrong.

I'm glad that the Senate Dems have wrangled the GOP to split out DHS funding from the rest of the govt funding bill. I'm glad that they're demanding changes to ICE policies. This is all good.
But has ICE ignored the 4th Amendment. I have ZERO confidence that they'll abide by any new legislation.

Some advice for the GOP:
Just pass a law stating that the killing of anyone designated a "domestic terrorist" by Miller/Trump is fully justified.
Oh, and they should also make it a capital offense to say anything disparaging of Trump or his administration.
That's what they really want, isn't it?

VERY glad to hear that Bovino is out of MN.

Just so we're all clear about the Trump administration's real intent as regards ICE:
They are engaged in a national roundup of residents who lack valid ID.
They are ALL being sent to detention centers, even though residing in the U.S. without valid ID is a CIVIL OFFENSE and NOT a crime.

MSM wants to grant deference to the "people's choice."

DHS said that ICE agents don't need to comply with the Constitution.
DOJ has brazenly violated the law.

Why are GOP members of Congress so stubbornly supportive of Trump?
Fear is certainly part of it. Trump threatens anyone who deviates from the party line with being primaried-- or worse.
But a LOT of them are full on MAGA. They love the concentration of power in the WH. It's not just revenge:
