I just wonder how many voters truly get it. Not just anyone can do these jobs.

They don't get that in order to find people who swear fealty to Trump β€” they are all required to affirm the 'Big Lie' and say that Trump really won in 2020 β€” they have to really scrape the bottom of the barrel.

I need someone with grammarly to find out if I'm one of their experts so I can send a scathing email.

The results on the political violence question are enlightening. For "New Entrant GOP" to support it at 54% is crazy.

It's beyond ironic that Trump's second term started out with DOGE, a rogue group not approved by Congress that was given enormous access, ostensibly to identify waste and fraud.

But they weren't looking for stuff like this. They were looking for money spent on helping people, declaring it waste.

Do we want Pol Pot? Because this is how we get Pol Pot.

Authoritarianism, whether Communist or Fascist, relies on the forced subjugation or even complete destruction of academia.

Trump in 2016 caused me to reevaluate many things. I had grossly underestimated the number of people who view narcissism as a leadership quality.

If you had asked me before, I may have guessed 5%, but it is as much as 10 times higher.

This is what happens when party members are required to validate countless lies coming out of the White House. Eventually there is a system collapse because no one can construct a new lie that is consistent with all of the previous lies.

They are probably waiting for airline execs to use Trump's bribe-o-matic self service website to unblock this, since that's how this works now. Ballroom's not going to build itself.

So Mullin, Trump's nominee to replace Noem as DHS head, will be addressing this immediately once he's confirmed, right?

At least that should be a question for him. Call your Senators.

Maybe South Carolina voters will get sick of measles outbreaks and flaccid neocons like Graham. But will it happen before November?

South Carolina's Mark Sanford eyes a comeback Sanford is a politician in search of an office.

Graham is running for re-election this year and is leading in Republican primary polls. He is probably very comfortable with his seat. The challenger field isn't strong. Even Mark Sanford might take a shot. www.axios.com/2026/02/13/m...

I am aware that the US is among the countries that didn't sign the Ottawa Treaty that prohibited anti-personnel mines. That's terrible and is a related problem.

Still a war crime, in my view. Accountability is mandatory.

Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing Pentagon investigators believe a bombing of a girls' school in Iran on Saturday likely resulted from inaccurate information provided by AI.

I can stop thinking about this. In my view, the US has clearly committed a war crime here, because the reckless use of AI led to indiscriminate killing.

It's like landmines. They are outlawed for a reason.

I hear this graph of the Riemann zeta function is a kind of meme, from my 1945 Dover edition of "Tables of Functions with Formulae and Curves", translated from "Funktionentafeln mit Formeln und Kurven" by Janke and Emde, original copyright 1933.

Imagine the effort required to produce this.

We need to get money out of politics in general. There is no way to know whether AIPAC donations affected their votes, but we are engaged in a war of choice without Congressional approval, so do we really need doubts about the motivations of representatives?
