These people are such scummy bigots.

Another reason could be Loomer is in an insane feud with Candace Owens who, Owens, just went to Russia and said how great it was. Like Tucker Carlson did.

Loomer is playing the diplomat? On her own or at Trumps' behest?

Who made mornings this goddamn early? I have to make the 8:00 ferry, fifteen minutes early so they can load the truck, and Curt never, ever waits for man nor beast. The local lumberyard has missed by as much as a minute and had to stand and watch the ferry sail away under the lift bridge. Always a weird thing - on the boat, in a truck, under the lift bridge! There's no real internet at our place on the island, no electricity either, for that matter, so, it's sayonara for now, you princes and princesses of Wonkette!...

A disaster for America First’: Trump allies fear Netanyahu meeting will pull US deeper into war with Iran

The president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet Tuesday at the White House to discuss Iran, Lebanon and the Abraham Accords.

I'm pretty sure Israel has to make some pretty big gestures of kindness to the Palestinians and Lebanon before they'll get any support out of the American People. Until then, fuck Nuttyyahoo and the Israeli government!..

Sadly, the American people aren't the ones sending troops and weapons to fight Bibi's war.

Israel and the Israeli people are committing genocide. I would have thought that the Jewish population would be smarter than this. But after watching the settlement land grabs over the years, I don't think so. It is sad that the whole of the Jewish population, in Israel or not, are now squeezed into the current shape of Israeli Judiaism -

I do not see where deliberately killing children gets them bonus points. I am sure that Ann Frank and the death camp victims are looking on from the other side in dismay. When the abused becomes the abuser you do not get any brownie points for claiming you are a civil society.

Nancy Naive's avatar

What’s the old saw about the abused child becoming the abuser? Guess it works on larger populations too.

Hidden debt at U.S. tech giants swelled eightfold in roughly four years to an estimated $1.65 trillion as artificial intelligence investments ballooned, a Nikkei study shows, exceeding actual debt and making it tougher for investors to assess risk.

Meta Platforms: Carries roughly $420 billion in off-book obligations, nearly triple its transparent debt.

Oracle: Accumulates $273.3 billion, expanding thirtyfold over four years due to extensive leasing.

Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon: Account for the remainder of the massive infrastructure backlog through joint ventures and specialized financing

The entire world can not support a trillion dollar dry hole business, and the moneybelts are coming to the point where they'll have to borrow just to serve existing debt.

How the fuck can they borrow as much as they do and even be allowd to have "hidden" debt?

Hell, I got a loan for 190k and had to report my fucking couch change and that I owed a neighbor a fiver

And the banks that empty their (our) wallets for them are even stupider, which almost, but not really, defies belief.

Shocktreatment's avatar

People skilled at reading prospectus and balance sheets say that the disparity between "AI debt" and the occluded structural debt is obvious and depends on "conjoined interests" (or connivance, maybe conspiracy)...

If "Joe's AI and Grill, BYOB" goes under, the bank won't recover more than pennies on the dollar, no matter how many Ferraris or $zillion custom watches they repossess from Joe, so maybe another billion dollars...

Too bad Kennedy himself hasn't caught a bad case of the explosive jeans-filling crud. Might change his mind about cutting the funding for the maybe-more-important-than-he-originally-thought departments that track this stuff???

Routers assembled in Vietnam, with most of the design sourced from some of the nearby nations.

Can you say "fucking massive security hole?" I knew you could!

Also, why is this fucking idiot cheaping out on components?

He could use his own staggering wealth to purchase inside the U.S. and hammer away at the "buy American!" bullshit all the pigfolk love so much, right? Or is his amazing net worth a fake, inflated charade bloated by fake-arse AI valuations, so he has to penny-pinch?

I'm also prepared to believe he doesn't have clue one about the procurement processes inside his own cash cow companies and wouldn't comprehend them if he did.

Whale Chowder's avatar

Chip fabs are primarily overseas so even if he made boards in the US it's still assembling components from over there anyway.

Uncle Betamax's avatar

I understand, but it's all about sleight of hand- the assemblers wages in the U.S. would perforce be higher, so the cost-per-unit would be higher, but they could then be said to be American made by American jobs-havers- OOOOH RAH!

I've heard the Crosby/Nash song "They Want It All" on the radio two times in the last three days. 2004 words for the 2026 times.

They want that mansion and they want it full

Of wine and women and political pull

They always have a President or two

That's how they get away with what they do

They sell us our clothes and our cars

They sell us everything from youth to religion

The same time they sell us our wars."

I like this AI shit! What a great way to get questions answered.

Q: starting in 1960 which political party has spread the most rumors of election cheating?

A: The Republican Party has historically spread the most allegations, rumors, and coordinated narratives regarding election cheating and voter fraud since 1960. Political scientists, historians, and media analysts tracking election discourse point to several pivotal eras over the last several decades where these claims became central to political strategies:

(lengthy list of voting irregularities claims)

While the Democratic Party has frequently contested election processes—most notably challenging the systemic architecture of the 2000 Florida recount and frequently alleging "voter suppression" tactics by their opponents—independent fact-checkers and academic databases demonstrate that the systematic generation and circulation of explicit cheating or voter fraud rumors has been predominantly driven by the Republican Party over the last 60 years.

They can’t help it. Like racism, it’s part of their DNA.

Now ask which political party had the most criminal convictions of elected officials.

Nancy Naive's avatar

A: At the federal level, the Republican Party has recorded significantly more criminal indictments and convictions of elected and appointed executive-branch officials over the last 60 years.However, at the state and local levels, the distribution of political corruption and criminal convictions varies heavily by regional dominance rather than a single party affiliation.

jltympanum's avatar

I have never understood why politicians engage in illegal and unethical activities. Their lives are scrutinized by the press at every turn, and they still think they are going to get away with questionable behavior? Are they that deluded?

Nancy Naive's avatar

Yes. Anyone capable of being elected should never be allowed to occupy the office.

"Democrat" Vincente Gonzalez in Texas comes to mind. Can't stop siding with Republicans

eppe's avatar

Gotta admit that some of the very few Dem's that have been indicted were rather creative. U.S. Representative William J. Jefferson (D-LA), whose home was raided by the FBI in 2005. Agents discovered $90,000 in cash wrapped in aluminum foil and hidden inside frozen-food boxes in his freezer.
