I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

As soon as January hits I have a feeling my anxiety will spike.
These next 4 years are going to be a test. We have to resist smartly…the more hate we have, the more Trump will be loved by his base.
I don’t know what the answer is, but neither acceptance nor hate is it.

The South Korean National Assembly voted Saturday to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, forcing him to immediately hand over power to the prime minister following his short-lived attempt to impose martial law this month.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol impeached after martial law ploy
Yoon must immediately hand over power to the prime minister, who will act as caretaker while the courts review the impeachment vote. The process could take months.

I can’t wait for the day when we say Trump doesn’t come up much anymore. Hopefully, there isn’t somebody worse.
Something I think about his how thoroughly George W Bush has disappeared from the American consciousness and history. He didn’t quite have a Trump-level of cultish devotion on the right, but pretty close! He was a Great Man of History.

ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down
Training tests with ChatGPT o1 and other high-end AI models showed they might try to save themselves if they think they're in danger.

It’s amazing to watch the entire South Korean Assembly (290-0 vote) vote down martial law. Must not have any republicans.

Hassan Piker had a lot of good points on @podsaveamerica.bsky.social. Before this election I felt like we couldn’t win by turning towards Bernie and his politics because I felt we would lose the swing voters. I think this election showed me that the swing voters have shifted.

@podsaveamerica.bsky.social has a really interesting podcast with former Harris campaign staff that just went up. I am just getting to the point where I can think about politics without also feeling a wave of sadness…I can’t imagine what they are going through.

With Gaetz going down I feel like maybe we can get this Hegseth clown as well. There has to be four republicans with some morals left in the senate.
