Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology.
But it's not.
Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long.
That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.

The DOJ is fully corrupt. Until Bondi and any other corrupt cronies are out, members of federal grand juries should refuse to indict, and member of juries should refuse to convict -- anyone.

Elon has reached a new level of pathetic. What kind of an insecure narcissist programs his AI to say that he's the greatest at everything. Musk has truly lost the plot.

Thinking about the fact that Trump argued at the beginning of the month that the War Powers act does not apply to blowing up fishermen in the Caribbean. Seems to me that either:
1) It is war and the fishermen are casulties of war or
2) It's murder, plain and simple.

Rule 10 of the Authoritarian Playbook is to rig elections. And Trump just pardoned people who were CHARGED WITH CRIMES to overturn the 2020 election for Trump!
Corruption on full display!
We must push back to Save our Republic!

The pardons include 77 allies tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and former Trump attorney Sidney Powell.

Yesterday, Chuck Schumer and his fellow cowards showed once again that our politicians do not serve the people; they serve their donors and themselves. This political system is broken and the leadership is out of touch. If Schumer is not immediately replaced, Dems should lose any trust that remains.

Grokipedia is the goal of all AI companies—they want to centralize the Internet so we are fully reliant on one source of information.
Then, at the click of a button, they can change our entire shared reality. They’re vying for our attention—if they capture all of it, they enslave us.
Don’t use AI.

Apple did something very similar to the people of Hong Kong in 2019, removing an app that allowed protesters to track police movements via crowdsourced information:

You conveniently left off starship which has a 50% failure rate. Not to mention the disasters that are Neuralink and Boring Co. Elon is the Cybertruck of entrepreneurs. Looks shiny but sucks at being useful.

Musk's companies are "almost" companies. Tesla's can almost drive themselves, spaceX can almost make a rocket that won't explode. And Musk himself is almost competent. The thing about "almost" is that it's usless. A car that almost drives itself is acutally more difficult to drive.

You have to lock up everyone around Trump as soon as the regime is brought down. Especially Miller. Life in prison for all.

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations.
Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes.
Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

Trump should be there for the ribbon cutting. But tell him before hand that spacesuits will muss his hair...
EXCLUSIVE: Sean Duffy will announce expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon, his first major action as interim NASA administrator.
