There can be no America

without Trans-America

(as they say, "live your best life")

A House majority and 2/3rds of Senate could get around that.

(And I don't mean a veto override).

Dude likes Gideon's Bible, I hear.

I can't categorically rule it out.

My mom did her master's on Kant. Hmmm.

good job!

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

My kid liked it (who's being nice, but they do know a thing or two about content on these platforms)—maybe you will too? @natebowling.com , I forgot to talk about charlatan and would-be president George Francis Train, one version of peak gilded age man, with a dramatic Tacoma connection.....

they have "ban" right in the name already

Then I looked at the comments and other people made this joke...I figure I get to too, and I'll play the I went to college with his daughter card.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

It's not worth overthinking this speech which basically reads like an essay Stephen Miller submitted to the local American Legion Chapter when he was 11 for their July 4 contest for which the top prize was a $50 savings bond. But it's still a massive, reactionary, fascistic erasure of US History.
