Anyone remembered when Biden stood on the world stage and declared: "America is BACK!!!"? We told him then; America is far from back. You can't change people who have been brainwashed for decades overnight. We all knew it was a respite, not a true change.

I am so freaking tired of these Democrats still thinking they can reach Republicans on ANY matter right now. Republicans are compromised! They don't have brains anymore. They are just zombies running around. There's no 'discussing' and 'working' with them. They know they've lost their country!
Highlighting Blumenthal thinking he can still work with Republicans: Politicians' speeches seemed to provide some comfort to protesters. But they are still pushing for Democrats to be more disruptive, including by making it harder for Republicans to confirm Trump's nominees by denying them procedural shortcuts to swifter votes. Lawmakers, meanwhile, say there's only so much they can do on their own. "We have to reach beyond this crowd, reach beyond this city," says Blumenthal. "Reach beyond Democrats to Republicans and say, you are losing your country, too."

The 2028 AI principles being thrown overboad by Google:
Google AI Principles being abandoned: Applications we will not In addition to the above objectives, we will not design or deploy Al in the following application areas: pursue Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Where there is a material risk of harm, we will proceed only where we believe that the benefits substantially outweigh the risks, and will incorporate appropriate safety constraints. Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people. Technologies that gather or use information for surveillance violating internationally accepted norms. Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights. As our experience in this space deepens, this list may evolve.

It's not Edolf Musk speaking, it is Putin speaking. Once have that in context, every other thing makes sense. They have a backchannel to Kremlin, all these US traitors.

Meanwhile across the pond:
"We were seeing an increase in sales to restaurants, so we were like IOh, Brexit hasn't been as bad as we thought it was going to be'. "But that was the beginning. Now we are starting to see, five years on, the implications of Brexit," Mr Haward told the BBC. The hospitality sector was "struggling" and the oysterman said his customers were not selling the same volumes of oysters in the past year. "Welve got a very small market that we are trying to keep hold of and therels not really much growth in the CJK. "There are so many other oyster pro- ducers fighting for the same customers. I can already see a downward for sales in oysters." There were now "too many barriers, too many complications" to selling British oysters in mainland Europe, Mr Haward said. To export live shellfish into the EU, ex- port health certificates, origin of prod- uct paperwork and veterinary health checks needed to be completed. Mr Haward said the paperwork and planning would take a week, whereas before Brexit an order from the EU could be made and the oysters would arrive the following day. The bureaucracy, he said, had "pushed the price up by at least 20%" and he

Everthing that is wrong with the US today is caused by McConnell. History will never forgive the dude; may his name forever be tarnished!
- Citizens United
- Kremlin election meddling
- Failure to impeach twice
- Stealing #SCOTUS nominations
- Corruption of the Senate
#BiH McConnell!
"Why McConnell struggled with questions about his 'moral red line'" - He could not give a simple answer to moral decline in politics.

From the dept. of #FAFO:
2 hours ago Ian Austen Reporting from Windsor, Ontario Linda Hasenfratz, the executive chairwoman of the Canadian auto parts maker Linamar, said that the 25 percent tariffs President Trump intends to impose tomorrow on exports from Canada and Mexico could shut down North American auto production within aweek. "Nobody can absorb this kind of cost, not the automakers, not the suppliers, not consumers," Hasenfratz, whose Canada-based company has plants in all three countries, said in a statement to The New York Times. "Demand will collapse, and vehicle production will grind to a halt, putting millions of workers out of work, the vast majority of which are in the U.S."

Well, in case you're just wondering, your president has just added his signature not to attack Russia. For the case you're wondering if you're truly back to the Nazi era. This is a 1939 pact, before WWII came to full bloom.
Text: The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, officially known as the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was a significant agreement signed on August 23,1939 1.Here are some key points about the pact: Background Context: Prior to the pact, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were ideologically opposed, with Germany being anti-communist and the Soviet Union being a communist state 2. Negotiations: The pact was the result of negotiations between the two countries after failed tripartite discussions with the United Kingdom and France.
