I am shocked with that clip. In addition to the word salad conflating techs, Trump sounds like he's dying. I recall how the GOP would attack Biden when he would stutter once, but Trump is melting on camera and MAGA is just crickets.

Fair points. But we can blame all of them when the bubble pops in the first half of next year and destroys the US economy worse than Trump and his morons are already doing.

Most of them are all setting billions of dollars on fire as well- not sure why you single out Zuck.

that said, you're not talking to grandma, you're talking to a stochastic algorithmic electric parrot managed by a bunch of technofascist sociopaths in a country too corrupt to have functional internet privacy laws, so I take some umbrage with your headline, dear sirs

While I support this, it's performative. Won't pass the House and definitely won't result in a conviction in the Senate.

We eventually need some type of tribunal for all the maniacs if/when we survive this madness.
