Whatboutism is never that productive… but, Fox News would have a field day with this if it was a Democrat.

“Obama wants to rename American Football to appease foreigners”
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

America, what’s happening here?
Where is our conscience ?
Where is our soul?
3 Questions:

1) What are we doing?
2) How is this pro-life?
3) What are we doing?

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

So, America's own Orange Kingpen Pedoman Don has let in the Kingpin of Fentanyl & family, AND pardoned & released the Kingpin of Cocaine into the USA.

Is that about right?!?!?! 😮😲
🧵Trump allowed 17 relatives of one of the most notorious cartel drug dealers in the world into America.

Dems should be slamming their fists on how such a deal could be made.

The relatives Trump let in are just as ruthless as El Chapo.

Here are the details.....

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.

Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.
