Oh, my. Grok comes through again. Even AI sees Trump/Russia.
Elon Musk's AI chatbot says a 'Russian asset' delivered the State of the Union | Opinion
The chatbot Grok scoured available public data and found a '75-85% likelihood' that Donald Trump more or less works for Vladimir Putin.

We’ve heard plenty about what Trump, Musk and their marauding henchmen want to destroy. But have you heard anything about what they want to build or in any way make lives better?

Trump looks at this reverend who asks for compassion with bored, bleary eyes. It will have no effect on this sociopath, but it is a noble act of defiance at a time when too many are modeling obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
