Rand, Paul stated if we want to avoid a government shutdown we need to discontinue it to Ukraine

I’ll let John McCain handle this one

"[Rand Paul] has no justification for his objection to having a small nation be part of NATO, that is under assault from the Russians.

“So I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin."

Republicans passed a ~$2 trillion tax cut for the rich and added $7 trillion to the national debt under Trump. And we're supposed to believe they're risking a shutdown because they care about "fiscal responsibility"?

It's all just a game to them.

The media will never show you these real Americans giving Trump Tower the finger.

@lovelylovely [Trump voice:] "You put up signs saying, Vote for Trump — big, beautiful signs, three feet wide at least — and right after the first rainfall you see it, the paint washes right off, and those stupid signs suddenly say, Republicans for Biden. It is such a disgrace. Biden got money from Ukraine, and they bought all the sign companies, and now Hunter Biden is printing those signs in the basement of a pizza parlor using the laptop from hell. And the signs are rigged! They are rigged!"

Nothing says, "social media need no public oversight", like Elon Musk sharing copyright protected video, then being told that he is breaking the law… but not responding, because he does not need to, as he is both the lawmaker, the police and the judge in the virtual world he now controls.

American lawmakers really need to wake up.

I'm thinking of doing an experiment:

1. I'll create a bunch of LLC AIs and I'll train each one on a different set of right wing "information", such as faux news, certain selected websites, etc. The goal is to create a rough AI maga community. I will probably also feed reading lists from evangelical sources and maybe the $0.00 books on Amazon (which tend to be right wing screeds and conspiracy theories.)

2. Then like the old Perry-and-Eliza hack of days of old, I'll have these AI magas talk to one another (and learn from one another.)

I'm curious what kind of mentality they will exhibit at the end.

Later I could brew in some of the really awful "history" stuff from The History Channel and Smithsonian Channel.
