AI isn’t just chatbots. It’s war. It can and will be brought to heal under the military, like it or not.

There’s a well-defined process for challenging an order. You do so at the risk of court martial, prison and/or dishonorable discharge. It’s serious business and certainly isn’t judged by one’s own interpretation of the Constitution or moral compass. I worry service members won’t fully grasp this.

The swastika is an ancient symbol and is used as a tattoo pattern regularly in Hindu and Celtic designs. There has to be room for nuance. Any tattoo artists care to weigh in?

Hindu and Celtic swastika patterns are used a lot in tattoos and are absolutely not Nazi related. Any indication this policy is trying to allow for nuance in evaluating whether those are disqualifying for military service, like the Hindu example here?

Yes, deep ties to Russian (and Ukrainian) oligarchs/mafia. I see people on all political sides nibbling around the edges of stories, preferring scandal to substance. That leaves us divided and confused, prime vessels for propaganda. I’d rather be labeled a conspiracy theorist than be a willing pawn.

For anyone commenting on Epstein, if you haven’t read One Nation Under Blackmail by Whitney Webb, you’re lost in the forest. Here is a brief intro interview that will help give shape to the news that’s coming out and what the coverup is about youtu.be/2iED4d63GGY?...

Trump wants this buried to protect a very unstable peace in the Middle East. Biden kept things buried for the same reasons. Protect Israel. Protect Rothschild’s. Protect global currency markets.

More confirmation Epstein was working to get Trump impeached, for financial crimes, not sex crimes. Epstein was trafficking arms and running honeypot blackmail ops for Israel.

This cover-up is to protect Israel. It’s clear Epstein was trying to entrap Trump, leaked emails prove that. If Trump was implicated in sex scandal, that would’ve come out 2015-2024. He’s protecting the same interests Biden protected.

A vote on removing Schumer from leadership would be telling. Needs 25 votes. If there isn’t a vote at all, you’ll know at least 25 agree with the surrender.

Whatever ultimately passes, we can be assured that insurance giants and Pharma will be thoroughly enriched and premiums will continue to rise well above inflation. Those are the only priorities 60 Senators can agree on.

The cave kills the GOP shutdown narrative. If the cavers are branded traitors, that’s tacit admission the D’s caused the shutdown. Nothing was gained so, am I missing something or was that narrative just more bullshit?

Populism is a winning message. Until campaign finance is reformed, Congressional stock trading & special interest lobbying are banned and the wedge issue of abortion is settled via Constitutional amendment, we’ll stay divided by design.

The precedent has been set and the practice will continue until a Constitutional Amendment is passed. It would be interesting to see the debate in Congress but it’s unlikely to happen.

The whole point of the shutdown was to energize organizers and voters for those elections. Isn’t that obvious now?

It was never about healthcare. It was naked politics, plain and simple. The cave was planned from the beginning down to which Senators would vote yes.
