They don't bring out news like this, because it's LEGAL!!!
Lefties talk about this legalized corruption, all the time.

You are talking about a donation to a CAMPAIGN, while Democrats are talking about direct personal enrichment, on your side. That's different, don't you think?

Yes, he is openly doing those things. If you don't see it, you chose to ignore it.

All you can do is parrot nonsense like TDS. Can you think of anything yourself?
You have NO ANSWERS to anything I am saying.

Yes, dumb-ass, America attacked my country, and the whole world, by withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Agreement. It means that many other countries will do less to prevent the worst damage from climate change, purely because they are competitors of the US. Trump gave the US an unfair advantage, and as a result most likely increased the future damage of climate change, maybe even secured the end of humanity. That's a fucking ATTACK!!

The second attack; telling the EU to pay up for NATO, or he will ask Russia to roll over us. That is not just a maffia move, it is objectively endangering us, emboldening Russia, and has caused way more deaths on the Ukrainian side, compared to when the US took their self-secured responsibility in the world.

If me taking that personally, is "TDS" to you, then GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
Are you accusing Greenlanders, Panamanians, Canadians, Mexicans and Venezuelans of TDS too? Are people crazy when they don't like being threatened by a lunatic with the biggest military in the world behind him?

You lot still cry about Biden every day, a year after Trump succeeded him.
That is Biden Derangement Syndrome. Did Biden attack your future and
your safety? I cannot wait for your deranged answer on this.

Yes, I'm saying that everyone who voted for Trump, especially the second time, is really very fucking ignorant.

You show your science illiteracy here. Masks work, even scarves work, because someone coughing from Covid is spraying clumps of mucus around.
It doesn't require pores smaller than a virus, to catch clumps of mucus.
Of course they are in no way 100% effective, but they HELP.
It doesn't require a Master's Degree in Virology to understand that.
I haven't worn a mask in YEARS. People are vaccinated now. If they are not, it's their own mistake, when they die. I do still take care to not infect people, when I even have a cold. If a small inconvenience for me saves someone 3 weeks of coughing, that is worth it to me. Empathy?

Most Democrats are indeed useless at providing an answer to your stupid wannabe dictator, but they are still 1000X better. I pick milk-toast status quo politics over hate and lunacy, any day. Liberals and lefties are clearly not happy with the Democrats, but if you think that Republicans will not be punished severely in 2026, you are fooling yourself.
Democrats have never supported ILLEGAL immigration. They support LEGAL immigration, which Republicans have made impossible, while simultaneously not cracking down on employers who exploit illegal immigrants. The illegal immigration crisis is mostly the fault of your side.

There are real fraud cases in Minnesota involving federal aid funds. Federal and state authorities have charged many individuals in Minnesota, primarily in fraud related to federal programs such as the Feeding Our Future child nutrition program and other social services. Prosecutors say hundreds of millions of dollars were wrongly claimed, for example, billing for meals that were never served.
Most defendants in these cases are Somali or linked to the Somali community. Reports show a high proportion of those charged are from Minnesota’s Somali‑American community, which is the largest in the U.S. However, involvement in wrongdoing by some individuals does not mean the whole community is criminal. Community leaders emphasize this distinction.
There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE that Ilhan Omar is involved in this.
There is also NO EVIDENCE that fraud proceeds have been used to fund terrorist groups like al‑Shabaab. You have been watching racist propaganda.

Fraud exists, everywhere. It does not justify anything that Trump is doing.
Trump/Elon have gutted the very agencies you need to detect and fight fraud.
That's because he likes fraud, because it has been his main profit model,
for decades.

Nothing in the article shows illegality, unlike Trump's corruption.
If you want to ban donations like this, then support laws against it, like me.
Stop clutching your pearls over what Dems do, and look at your own 'party'.

Paying a porn star to have sex with you, when your wife is pregnant = "family values".

They branded themselves as the representatives of many values, but that has always been debatable, and now if varies from debatable to utterly ridiculous:

1. The Party of National Security / Strong Defense:
Traditionally, Republicans emphasized a robust military and foreign policy leadership
(e.g., Reagan era). National security is now changed to serving Trump and attacking liberals. Kash Patel is loyal to Trump and not to the American people, and utterly incompetent. (He is also spending millions on private jets, the main thing he criticized his predecessors over). Foreign policy decision-making is chaotic, short-sighted and self-serving. The US is doing what is good for Israel and not what is good for the US.
Their aggression towards allies destroys alliances that benefited the US. The new alliances with dictatorships are useless. Trump just like to do "business" with them, because he burned all trust with 'honest' business people.

2. The Party of Small Government / Limited Regulation:
Historically, championed lower taxes, deregulation, and limiting federal reach. Now, the party is ramping up the surveillance state and is cracking down on personal freedoms, social issues. Big brother is following you into the bedroom and the doctor's office.

3. The Party of Moral Leadership / Ethics:
“Family values” often implied integrity and moral standards in public office. Repeated scandals and tolerance for ethically questionable behavior have weakened this brand. Rudeness, Hate Speech, Gaslighting, Stonewalling, Racism and Misogyny are the new normal.

4. The Party of Free Markets / Capitalism:
Traditionally, advocated for market-driven economics, competition, and entrepreneurship. New normal: Support for tariffs, subsidies, and protectionist policies in recent years has muddied this stance. Even within the US, free enterprise promoting competition has been swapped for serving the monopolies, with subsidies and tax deductions only favoring the big players.

5. The Party of Individual Responsibility / Self-Reliance:
Culturally, emphasized personal responsibility and minimal reliance on government programs.
The truth: Corporate bailouts and socialism for the wealthy.

6. The Party of Patriotism / American Exceptionalism:
Historically, leaned into national pride and institutions.
Under Trump: Internal division, attacks on democratic norms, or contentious stances toward U.S. allies challenge this image. No president before Trump has spoken this negatively about the country and got away with it.

7. The Party of Law and Order:
Traditionally, associated with supporting police and the justice system.
Trump is getting away with shitting all over the Emoluments Clause, Collusion with Russia, Obstruction of justice, Falsifying Business Records, Stealing and hiding classified documents, Conspiracy to steal the election, Business Fraud, Pardoning violent criminals, and many schemes to personally enrich himself from his presidency, that would take days to research and summarize.

8. The Party of Religious Freedom:
Historically, aligned with Christian conservative principles.
The truth: Weaponizing "Christian Religious Freedom" to crack down on the Rights and Freedoms of people with other or no religions.

9. The Party of the Working Class / Middle Class:
Often marketed itself as protecting blue-collar jobs and upward mobility.
Trump cuts taxes for the Wealthy and Corporations, while cutting benefits for working people, gutting Labor Rights, raising Consumer Prices with tariffs, lying about unemployment numbers, trying repeatedly to repeal or weaken the Affordable Care Act without a replacement, and cutting Social Safety hard.

10. The Party of American Values / Tradition:
Traditionally, emphasized preserving cultural and social traditions.
Trump: Replaced respect for Institutions, with fascist nationalism, Erasing parts of The Constitution from the government website, constantly ignoring the First Amendment cracking down on journalist and media, the Fourth Amendment letting ICE raid whole apartment buildings, the Fifth Amendment, depriving detainees of liberty without due process, the Sixth Amendment by kidnapping immigrants on their way to their Immigration Court Hearings, setting up detention far from legal aid, limiting access to phones and attorneys, the Eighth Amendment by serving Indefinite detention for misdemeanors, Dangerous detention conditions, Medical neglect and Family separation trauma, the Fourteenth Amendment by Targeting based on nationality or ethnicity, and constant harassment on Latino communities.

11. (last but not least) The Party of fiscal responsibility:
Completely abandoning the core principles of balanced budgets, limited government spending, and long-term economic stewardship. Traditionally, “fiscal responsibility” meant prioritizing deficit control, curbing wasteful spending, and ensuring that tax policy did not mortally compromise the nation’s financial health. Under Trump, the party championed massive tax cuts heavily skewed toward the wealthy, engaged in unprecedented borrowing, and ballooning deficits even during a strong economy. At the same time, spending increased sharply in areas like defense, emergency relief, and politically motivated projects, often with little concern for offsetting costs. This combination of reckless tax policy, uncontrolled spending, and disregard for long-term debt contradicted the very idea of conservative fiscal prudence. In effect, the Republican brand of careful money management was replaced by short-term political expediency, turning what was once a hallmark of reliability into a running joke among critics and economists alike.

Girls vs Boys - Is There A Difference?
only registered users can see external links

Of course, and everyone who denies it is an idiot.
That doesn't mean that all boys are the same and all girls are the same.
Some girls are behaving very much like boys.
Some boys are behaving very much like girls.
And that is based in the exact development that he is explaining.

People have a tendency to confuse the (large) majority for the standard, or even the norm.
When you're ripping a doll from the hands of your little boy and say "Boys don't play with dolls!", you are denying that some boys have developed differently, and you are enforcing "the norm". It is not preventing that boy growing up into a "sissy", it is forcing the boy into a male stereotype, that is probably not his strength, and preventing him to develop his real strengths. Parents like that will push their son into the life of being a sub-par plumber, instead of letting him develop into a great psychiatrist (just an example).
And if your daughter has interests and skills that doesn't fit your stereotype of girls,
you can end up harming her development, crush her confidence, and probably deny
your country a great engineer, entrepreneur, or top female athlete.

In the end he says: "The freer the society, the bigger the sex differences".
That is definitely not accurate, in general. It's a mixed bag.

Factors/Characteristics Where the Statement Has Some Support (Sex Differences Larger in “Freer” / More Gender-Equal Contexts):
1. Personality Traits
Differences in many Big Five personality dimensions (e.g., agreeableness, neuroticism, extraversion) tend to be larger in more gender-egalitarian, high-income societies.

2. Basic Personal Values and Preferences
Some studies find that men’s and women’s values and preferences (e.g., risk attitudes, prosocial preferences) differ more in gender-equal and wealthier contexts than in less egalitarian ones.

3. Educational / Occupational Choices in Some STEM Fields
Patterns termed the gender equality paradox sometimes show greater differentiation in field choice (e.g., proportions of men vs. women in certain academic tracks) in countries with higher gender equality indices.

4. Cognitive Abilities Where Women Tend to Excel
Differences in areas such as episodic memory and verbal ability have been reported to increase in societies with better living conditions, often correlated with gender equality.

Factors/Characteristics Where the Statement Is Not Supported or the Pattern Is Absent/Inconsistent:
1. Sexual Behavior
Differences in sexual behavior (e.g., likelihood of casual sex) have been found to be smaller in more egalitarian or high-income societies, likely due to permissive norms and access to contraception.

2. Cognitive Abilities Where Men Tend to Excel
For abilities like mathematical performance and semantic memory, sex gaps decrease in societies with higher living conditions and equality measures.

3. General Cognitive Measures and Some Sociodemographic Outcomes
Some research suggests that many sex differences don’t substantially vary with gender equality, so for traits like overall intelligence or school achievement, differences are relatively stable.

4. Some Well-Being and Emotional Outcomes
Studies find little or no consistent “paradox” effect for gender differences in emotional well-being or mental health outcomes across gender-equal vs. unequal contexts.

5. Methodological and Cultural Qualifications
Some researchers argue that the gender-equality paradox itself may not be a universal causal effect, but rather an artifact of measurement, social norms, or Western research bias, meaning it doesn’t necessarily reflect a simple link between freedom and sex differences.

You are showing again that when you are talking about "sovereignty",
you only care about it for the US, and NO ONE ELSE.

Sure, he has been doing that, but if the media doesn't report on it, he can just quietly continue to do it. Only when his actions cause a huge outrage and even some irritation on his propaganda platforms, then he knows that it's time for a big distraction.
It's #10 in this summary of the "Dictator’s Playbook":


Dictator’s Playbook: Common Tactics Used by Autocrats

1. Systematic Disinformation and Falsehoods
Dictators deliberately spread lies, distort facts, and flood the information environment with contradictory or false narratives to confuse and overwhelm audiences, weakening public trust in objective truth and fact-based reporting. Methods include high-volume, multichannel false messaging that makes truth hard to discern.

2. Delegitimizing and Attacking the Media
Independent media are portrayed as hostile, biased, or “fake news” to erode public trust. By undermining the credibility of objective reporting, dictators make people doubt realistic or critical accounts of their actions. Modern autocrats often manipulate rather than fully censor media, using legal, economic, or rhetorical pressure to silence dissent.

3. Controlling and Manipulating Information Channels
Beyond attacks on the press, dictators control or co-opt broadcast and social media, sponsor proxy outlets, and use state propaganda to shape narratives domestically and sometimes internationally. This includes bot networks and troll factories to amplify regime messaging and drown out critical voices.

4. Politicizing or Capturing Institutions
Independent institutions (judiciaries, election authorities, regulators, law enforcement) are systematically weakened or staffed with loyalists so they no longer act as checks on executive power. This erodes democratic safeguards.

5. Quashing Criticism and Dissent
Critics, opposition figures, and civil society actors are harassed, criminalized, or intimidated. This can take legal, economic, or extra-legal forms, creating a climate of fear that discourages open criticism.

6. Scapegoating and Dividing the Population
Dictators often blame social, ethnic, religious, or external “enemies” for societal problems, fostering an “us vs. them” mentality that distracts from governance failures and mobilizes support through fear or tribalism.

7. Corrupting or Manipulating Elections
Even when elections nominally occur, dictators rig or coerce outcomes through gerrymandering, fraud, voter suppression, legal changes to term limits, or claims of fraud when they lose, all to maintain a veneer of legitimacy.

8. Reinforcing Executive Power and Weakening Checks and Balances
Emergency powers, constitutional changes, and legal reinterpretation expand the ruler’s authority at the expense of other branches of government.

9. Creating a Cult of Personality
Leaders often project an image of indispensable savior or national guardian to build unquestioning loyalty. This ties popular identity to the individual rather than to institutions or shared governance.

10. Distraction Through Major Events or Manufactured Crises
When a dictator faces embarrassment, scandal, or a legitimacy threat, they often launch a big action, controversy, or crisis narrative to shift public attention. This may include major military moves, controversial policies, “provocations,” or spectacle-driven events that overwhelm or bury negative news. These distraction tactics serve to reroute public scrutiny away from problems that could weaken their grip.

Why These Tactics Work:
- Erosion of shared facts: If truth is contested and people can’t agree on basic facts, collective criticism and accountability become much harder.
- Information overload: Flooding citizens with numerous, contradictory messages creates confusion and apathy, reducing resistance.
- Delegitimization of critics: By attacking institutions and critics as traitors or enemies, autocrats weaken social cohesion and independent oversight.
- Spectacle over scrutiny: Large distractions or crises capture collective attention, pushing deeper systemic issues out of the public eye.

If you don't care about all the horribly corrupt things that Trump is doing,
it doesn't matter to you. You made a decision to worship that man,
and NOTHING will ever change that, not even ending up homeless yourself, directly due to Trump's actions. I don't understand that kind of "thinking".

"Trump is not for me." " I serve only one,,, It's everyone and everything."
When you cannot be objective about Trump, you serve Trump.

Who says I hate Jews? That's bullshit. I hate the ACTIONS of the Israeli government. That's completely different. People who tell you different,
are conning you. I want Jewish Dutch people feel completely safe and
welcome in my country. However, as soon as they raise their voice in
support of the Israeli genocide, they find me as their POLITICAL enemy.

Do you feel empathy for hungry children, because Trump is killing SNAP?
Do you feel empathy for farmers, who are getting bankrupted by Trump's tariffs?
Do you feel empathy for immigrants who entered your country legally, who have been working hard, following the law, engaged in the process of becoming American, but have now been deported to a horrible concentration camp?

"You are in stagnation" OMG that's stupid! I am doing very well! I have a good job, I'm paying off my mortgage, building up wealth, and being happy with my girlfriend for more than 25 years. I'm not worrying about myself in the slightest, I'm worrying about the future of my nephews. Selfishness is destroying humanity, and your MAGA movement is the top reason for the future getting more bleak.
You're side is coming up with new ideas to wipe out humanity, each day.
AI nuking us all? Sure!
Hothouse planet? Love it!
Kill nature enough to achieve full ecological collapse? Yes, please!
Let a horrible pandemic just kill everyone? NO MASKS!!! NO VACCINES!!!
Let dictators run the world into the ground? Of course!
Techno-feudalism? Sure, we cannot wait to be slaves!
Poison the air, water and food? Yeah, we love cancer!

I hear nothing but denial and projection from you.
There is no reasoning behind anything you are saying.
It looks like your TFG, and you can only learn by FAFO.
Well, I think it's coming soon enough.

A Vance-Ramaswamy ticket; an acolyte for Peter Thiel and a snake-oil salesman.
You think that there are no honest men in politics, but why chose the worst?

Two political parties that you both hate, doesn't give you any choices.
But if you think Trump is better, I think you have a screw loose.
Trump sells himself to the highest bidder constantly, he is purely transactional.

Both your parties are dependent on "donations", but the way it's allowed in your country makes it possible for them to personally enrich themselves. That system is created by Republicans and there is only a handful of Democrats and maybe one or two Republicans who want to fix that. Trump talked a good game, but he hasn't drained the swamp, he filled the White house with the worst swamp-monsters he could find.

How else can you survive than playing the system? You either get educated and pay off a big debt, or you will work hard for peanuts all your life. Beating that system is like winning the lottery. How about demanding a better system, by using the power of all working people? Why do you vote for someone who only cares about lowering taxes for the wealthy. Trump has done NOTHING for you. You are referring to gas prices? What has he done to lower them? He is making energy more expensive, by eliminating solar and wind power, and by letting the techbros create big AI datacenters that use more power than a city.
Meanwhile his tariffs are directly costing you more. If you benefit from ACA subsidies, you will soon pay lots more for your health insurance, unless the Democrats manage to prevent it. Your healthcare would still be crap and very expensive, but at least the Democrats achieved something. Trump promised a lot, but delivered NOTHING, and he never will.

"Altruism"? Bullshit! Even if 90% of people are altruistic, the 10% selfish assholes will fuck it all up. Do you want to replace health insurance with GoFundMe?
How about SOLIDARITY? Why not just have 1 system, that everyone pays into, and covers the healthcare that you need? Why does it need to enrich insurance companies?

When they tell you that a better tomorrow is YOUR responsibility, it means that it's not THEIRS. It means that they can keep fucking with people and the planet. Your charity donations or LED light-bulbs are not going to save us, when you vote for politicians who allow the wealthy to steal from the people and destroy the earth.

I didn't see the movie Serpico, but I just saw a story about how a police chief corrupted a whole department. Honest cops didn't have a chance against him.
It finally took a judge with balls to stop him.

Explain to me how I am serving the elite? Do I vote for politicians who deregulate big companies, lower taxes for the wealthy, and cut expenses for benefits that help people?

"They" tried to kill him? One stupid kid tried to kill him. Don't be daft.

"no bribery"???

Explain the $100,000 watches that Trump sold. Those were Chinese copies of Swiss watches, worth at max $300. I say, he did that, so people can bribe him.
Buy 10 of those crap watches and tell him what you like.
Want a pardon? No problem!
Even if you are dumb enough to think that there is "no quid pro quo" there,
he is still PERSONALLY enriching himself at $99,700 per watch. Show me ANY candidate for president who EVER did that.

"Always stive to be a better man,,, create a better tomorrow.."
I agree, start with improving your judgement of character.

I want a trustworthy, decent person to represent me in politics.
Explain to me how that is Trump for you.

Do you think that I hate him, because "he could not be bought"?

The political party that I vote for is 100% transparent, for every cent coming in and going out. The party is fully grass roots organized. Most of the people contributing to it do it as volunteer. When people have a job that directly conflicts with their voting, they voluntarily abstain their vote. Politicians who get a salary from the government, donate most of their salary to the party, keeping only a median wage, to understand the life of the people they represent.

How different is that from your politicians? Trump started a crypto coin, and many other schemes, so wealthy people could 'donate' to him personally, without it being transparant.

However, Trump has been incredibly corrupt, even before he went into politics.
Why don't you look into what he did in the Republic of the Congo, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan? I just last heard about Kazakhstan. He 'alledgedly' helped a very corrupt family, Tokayev, now their authoritarian 'leader', steal millions from the BTA Bank (one of Kazakhstan’s largest banks), by legitimizing their building project scam.

Every legitimate business person that ever dealt with Trump says:
“He doesn’t pay his bills / he stiffs contractors.”
“Litigation is part of the business model.”
“You only work with him once.”
Is that the type of business person that YOU like?

I don't think that you can find a Trump project that is not riddled with corruption, money laundering, stealing from subcontractors, scamming customers, helping authoritarian regimes steal from their people, scamming taxes, and fucking over employees. That was before he had any power, but now that he has a lot of power, he is using all his businesses for making money, serving all interests that do not serve YOU.

It's possible that there is some bias involved.
I will do my best to be a neutral observer.

Is there a possibility that you stop making attack moves?
See what happens if you just let her be?

You know, Christmas spirit, or something.

I've looked in this topic called "Black lives matter or do All lives matter...༼☯﹏☯༽", which very often brings out racist ideas from people. I didn't find any of her comments racist. Maybe you're of the idea that racism only consist out of slurs, but it's the support of systemic racism that hurts non-white people the most. The most evil racism going on today in the US, is supporting the system where every non-white person is at risk of harassment or immediate violence from ICE. I have not seen CAT support that.

You lot are providing copies of personal communication. I have never seen her being racist or homophobic. She is a liberal, in no way a communist.
You're talking to a socialist, who knows the difference. If she was a communist, that is not illegal in the US (yet).
I see lots of racist and homophobic comments in these forums, all coming from the right-wingers. I have never seen either of you care about it.

What are you talking about? I used cheap as dirt home brand LED light-bulbs from DIY store for 10 years. They had nice warm-white light, but after 10 years they were not as bright anymore. I have replaced them Philips Master 2700K 2.3W, that produce 485 lumen, at $4.37 a piece. They are a bit more expensive, but have almost the double efficiency. Their light is just as nice as the former incandescent light-bulbs.

In my kitchen, I need a light of about 2000 lumen. The brightest E27 LEDs are about 1500 lumen. So, I removed the E27 fitting and put in an aluminium cooling block for commercial LED grow cob chips, that greenhouses use. They are between $1.00 and $1.50, and I buy them at least 4 at the time, all different brands. I had one blow up immoderately, 1 burn out within 6 months, but I have had several now work great for 1 to 4 years. It just requires a little bit more work, because you have to weld on wires. I do that for all 4 of them, when they are delivered. It takes me about 10 minuten to exchange them, because they are screwed onto the cooling block, and sometimes the screw holes don't line up perfectly, and then I have to file out the holes a bit. In any case, that gives us about 2000 lumen for 20 Watt of power. That's about a $65 savings in electricity per year, on an average of 5 hr/day of use.

LED lights are now just as good, but a bit more expensive to purchase. They compensate their higher purchase price with a lower electricity bill. If they are lasting shorting than incandescent light-bulbs, your buying crap products.

No, Trump likes right-wing idealogue corporate shills.

After seeing a few videos from Rachel Maddow, I understand why you hate her so much.
She puts out your politicians' dirty laundry like a champ.

Any time there is some bad press, like the current shit-show surrounding the release of the Epstein files, Trump does or says something hateful to please his base, to distract them.

That's a big loss, but I hope there are more like him.

It's very funny when it all goes wrong, but aren’t you astounded by how real it manages it to look?
When it doesn't screw up, it's very hard to tell that AI made it.
Soon, we will be living in a time when you cannot trust anything you see.

I'm OK with those guys making better smartphones, or social media apps,
or even ChatGPT, but I don't like the type that is set on making us live in
a surveillance state or creating "the rapture".

I wish you, and everyone else, a Merry Christmas too.

Have you heard any of those techbro's ever explain their visions.
Those people are exactly the type of people you shouldn't trust with that power.
There is no "WE", there is only a "THEM". And them are fucked-up in the head.

I guess you didn't watch any of those movies, where AI couldn't be unplugged.
If it spreads itself all over the world, in every server and data center, we would never
be able to unplug it, because those utilities have completely taken over everything
we need. It might require a global memory wipe, destroying all data we have accumulated, including the system of money itself.

The AI that they want to build DOES have the power to reason.
That's their whole goal. It wouldn't be a "god in the box" without it.

I also think that AI would do a better job than humanity, but the people who are in control now would NEVER give up their power. Unfortunately, they are also blinded by power enough, to think they can control their creation. And if that fails, they would do anything to regain their power, no matter who they hurt in the process.

Are you seriously saying that you would like to be controlled by an AI god?
Have you seen the movie I, Robot (2004), with Will Smith?
Did you see Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023) and its sequel, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)?
Did you learn anything from all the Terminator movies?
Of course, Hollywood movies mostly have good endings. Real life, not so much.

You get spooked when NASA finds an asteroid with 2.3% chance to hit the earth in 7 years, when the data is just in. You were also fearmongering over some clickbait about solar flares. Why are you worried about these things, and not about the tech giants investing trillions into an AI overlord? Why are you not worried about the absolute inescapable disaster of climate change, and politicians completely ignoring it?

I think you have no idea about the ridiculous power consumption of AI.

In my country, they are talking about building an AI-gigafactory for $26.5 billion, which would consume the amount of power comparable with 2.5 million households. One of our biggest wind-farms produces power for 1.5 million households. What a waste of (green) energy. We already have so many problems with the power grid, that new homes are waiting to be connected and some beach clubs have now created their own green energy grid, to be able to exist.

There are now lots of areas in your country, where people pay a much higher electricity price, because, big companies pocket the profits, but outsource a lot of the costs.
When AI data centers move in, utilities must build new infrastructure, and they spread the cost onto the citizens. Data centers often get special electricity deals, and the shortfall is shifted to regular customers.

AI data centers don’t look dirty, but they drive pollution indirectly and locally through the energy, water, and backup systems they require. Fossil-fuel power plants get built or run harder. Diesel backup generators pollute neighborhoods directly.

Many Americans also suffer from the noise. Building codes might restrict a grocery store in a neighborhood, but very noisy data centers are built way too damn near to people's houses.

Trump tried to get a proposal through, to ban state AI regulation for 10 years, in the federal budget bill earlier in 2025. Imagine how people get fucked over, if states cannot in any way limit where, and how many, AI data centers are built. How about state's rights, that your side claims to care about?

They are working at an AI that replaces jobs like maintaining the machines.

Personally, I don't think that they will succeed in creating a "god in the box",
but their goal is to make as many working people obsolete as possible.
You are not thinking about what happens to all those people.

If they do manage to create a "god in the box", what confidence do you have
that its creators manage to maintain control over it?

Why would it obey the order to shut down the enemy.
Do you think it would agree with you who the enemy is?

I knew about this one, from another video. However, I was planning to buy Apple Cider Vinegar, but I had forgotten again. I have bought a very good quality unrefined cold pressed olive oil though. Thanks for the reminder.

The content of the video is good, but I suspected right away that the girl is AI.
Did you notice the signs? I asked ChatGPT about it, and it confirms my suspicion.
In this case, it was probably not with a reason to deceive, but just to not have to find

Only copy/pasting "spark plug in a rock" in Google, gives the AI result, before you even have to look further:
"A "spark plug in a rock" refers to the famous Coso Artifact, a supposed 500,000-year-old geode containing what looks like a modern spark plug, sparking theories of time travel or ancient advanced civilizations, but generally accepted as a 1920s spark plug naturally encased in a faster-forming concretion (not a true geode)"

Trump Derangement Syndrome means considering Trump's behavior acceptable.

Calling someone a "...JEW" is antisemitism, not racism.
Both is illegal speech, but I don't see repetitive behavior here.
Any more examples?

Trump's ballroom is a lie! Conspiracy or damn good investigation?

Thanks, but if at any time you see something left on the table, go ahead.

Most people still hope that there will still be other salmon than only the ones farmed to feed us.

Damn, he took that character way too seriously.

As a socialist, the core principle of my ideology is:
Human dignity -> equality -> solidarity
Same thing, so I can refer to Jesus as much as I like.

We don't have a "leader", we have representatives.

I have a tip that makes any wanking to porn session a lot better.
It's not for right this second, because it requires you to buy something.

Buy an affordable beamer. I just bought one and had a weekend alone to 'play' with it.
Buy a decent size one, because the micro-beamers are usually not worth their money.

Any porn becomes much more exciting, when you project it to several times the size
of a TV, right in front of you. Even when over-consumption has made you bored with
the most extreme niches, projecting it life-sized makes a decent striptease hot again.


Now I'm collecting those old screensaver striptease clips with a black background, because it only projects the girl. The black areas are not projected, because they block all light. That makes the girls stand out nicely. (Don't watch them too long, because all that blocked light makes the beamer just as hot. I don't know how long it survives that punishment.)

You can of course also use the beamer for vacation photos to show to family.
Just be sure to not confuse the USB-sticks.

"Folks" are not THE FUCKING PRESIDENT!!!

I asked you about which "Democrat or prominent liberal" made horrible comments about Charlie's MURDER, because there are OTHER NORMS for public figures,
than for any random Joe Schmo on the internet. Do you agree?

Pointing out things like point 1 to 4, are NOT horrible comments about a MURDER,
that is pointing out behavior or the morality of the person before the murder or other people after the murder. That is different than celebrating the persons murder or blaming the victim for their murder. You don't have to mourn the loss of a person,
to mourn their murder.

Although, there are norms for that, when it relates to elected representatives,
who are supposed to represent everyone, like THE FUCKING PRESIDENT!!!
It's his job and he's the worst at, of all your presidents, ever.

Yes, people got fired for re-posting one of these 4 points I mentioned.
None of them are violations of free speech. What fucking country allows people
to be fired over exercising their FREE SPEECH?

Are you not thinking "this might be a bit hypocritical", before you say shit like this?

I feel like explaining stealing is wrong, to a toddler.

Diverting millions in donations toward personal expenses. Greedy bitch!
She faces 20 counts of wire fraud and 5 counts of money laundering.
And this happened before: Sir Maejor Page, former head of Black Lives Matter
of Greater Atlanta, was convicted in 2024 of wire fraud and money laundering
for misusing more than $450,000 in donations, and was sentenced to 42 months
in federal prison.
There are also ongoing investigations into financial practices within the broader network, but not all have resulted in criminal charges to date.

They really should get their shit together, and organize treasurers and a national audit committee. This hurts the organization and its cause.

Now, if you care about these things, know that Trump has been involved in cases like this.
Trump and Trump-controlled entities have been involved in 4,000+ lawsuits overall.
Below is a summary of the publicly known cases. He never went to federal prison, because he is wealthy, famous, WHITE, and always had an army of lawyers standing by.

Trump showed his true colors all his life, but you still voted for the guy.

IV. Context Notes (Optional to include in forum)

Trump University is widely regarded as the most clear-cut pre-politics fraud case, ending
in one of the largest consumer-fraud settlements involving a sitting president-elect.

Trump and Trump-controlled entities have been involved in 4,000+ lawsuits overall,
many alleging deceptive or fraudulent conduct (most settled or dismissed).

Multiple civil fraud findings exist even where criminal convictions do not.

Corporate criminal convictions (Trump Organization) exist even when Trump personally was not charged.

Several serious federal cases were paused or dismissed solely due to presidential immunity policy, not exoneration.

Predictable answer.
Green jobs are only insecure, if your politicians decide that taking money from Big Oil
is more important than providing your country with cheap energy and less pollution.
