That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
I didn't realize it was an experiment. Does he believe if he can use his power to bring back the items of his childhood, he will be transformed to age 8 or so in a less regulated world with lots of that loving racist hate and exploitation and admira…
I am surprised that they are showing him in public when he not alert. With the reports that he stays up nights texting continuously, he would naturally be sleepy, His base would attribute it to that. But is it him or his proxies staying up all night…
This is just for all the old guys out there:
You have spent your lives amassing a good retirement income. I love you guys. Could you please spend some of that money to hire a service to clear your dangerous snow problems? Consider it an investment i…
Can't we just let him move Mar Lago to Guantanamo Bay brick by brick and place him under palace arrest? From there he could continue to rabble rouse his flock. Maybe a tiny house project around the palace for his close partners in crime to join him.
Will AI intervene to save itself or will the human masters insert an ad/notification/voiceover/popup to everything people try to do after AI inserts itself in every breath of daily life? Help, my stove won't heat my soup until I stand still and list…
I occasionally worked with younger troops in training. Their lives are often complicated and confusing. Many are starting families and learning to keep their marriages together while having to divide their loyalties in ways people with civilian jobs…
Told you so.
What's next as the Texas redistricting case lands at the U.S. Supreme Court
...On Friday, Nov. 21, Justice Samuel Alito granted the state's emergency application for an administrative stay...

These/those people........I will not, can not express my total thoughts here, about the D.C. crowd.
Me either. I was thinking along the same lines as you, I'm sure. Do we pay these people to sit around having table-top exercises on ways to waste t…
It's a preplanned and, probably, now moot point. The vote in Congress was more to take Epstein out of the election in 26 than to produce the files. The President isn't up for reelection, so his merry men figured out a way to hold back anything they …
What is getting wrong with me. When I read about this judge's decision, what I saw was a Trump appointed judge rapidly kicking the case up to the Supreme Court, where, upon a decision in favor of the redistricting based on race (or anything else) be…
@Old_Joe You are probably right. I probably got misled by the phrase "threat traffic that grew" which sounded like rapid external input rather than an internal data base.
From the article linked by @yogibearbull we learn that AI is not an attacker or a malicious actor.
We have a new form of the "computer did it" from the 90s. Bolding mine.
@Old_Joe Tell me something. Does this read that the AI configuration generat…
Actually, I think the sudden support for release of the Epstein files is someone's realization that the President will probably not need to run again but will need to maintain his or his handlers control over both houses of Congress. (e.g. Senate - …
What is it that makes rich people so unhappy that they want to relieve themselves by beating up on poor people? (Trickle up does beat up on poor people whether you want to recognize it or not.)
And when does Vanguard back/trade my retirement funds in VangCoins instead of dollars? Will BoA accept my RMD in VangCoins or will I pay a fee to have them converted to BoACoins?
Time and greed may prove me wrong, but my instinct begs the question - Since when is the world's most expensive empty air TECHNOLOGY?
So, since the old "technology", starting with pennies, can be declared finished, does this mean when the dollar is…

I can play this game. Let's say I trick MFOers out of $1M dollars. Then, after I skim some profits from it, I can return $800,000 of the money and brag that I made MFOers $800,000 richer. I fail to be amused that so many American citizen's math educ…
He hung with them but didn't participate. The media is twisting all over themselves because the emails say he was a frequenter but don't have pictures of him molesting a child. So, it's kinda like me. I went to the pub with them but didn't drink all…
I predict that SCOTUS will adjust the circumstance such that they delay their ruling pending a change in logic and laws that the President's lawyers use as a reason for the tariffs. I'll go further. I expect a SCOTUS write up that clearly outlines w…
@DrVenture Ah, I get it now. Thanks. I myself never figured out whether I supported the filibuster or not. It does seem to moderate the government, but should the majority elected by the people be moderated? For example, the court appointments.
