Israel bombed the crap out of Lebanon.

What are you willing to accept in removing their leadership and proxies? 4 mos., 1 yr., 5 yrs., more? I think history shows that western attempts to influence the entire region have failed all the way back to the crusades.

What’s huge? Got any numbers?

There’s no such thing anymore. Through February the federal government borrowed $43.5 billion a week. I don’t mind going into debt for things I need i.e. house, car, or other major capital outlays. I don’t mind borrowing as a taxpayer for public works, healthcare and groceries for those who can’t afford it, defense of our nation, etc. I do mind going into debt to finance the greatest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in history. It’s not what we borrow, but what we do with it.

My son did 20 years’ service starting in 1993. I thank God every day he was in the Navy. I have always and will always support our troops. That’s why it is incumbent on every one of us to hold our leaders to account when they send our sons and daughters into harms way. We are owed an explanation as to the scope and goals of the sacrifice. We’ve gotten neither from the current administration. Opposing Trump’s war is not dishonoring the troops.

All he had to do, as our leader, was recognize the severity of the outbreak and recommend masks be worn. Leadership 101.

What are you smoking? My post before said Cornyn voted 99% with Trump, and he’s not MAGA enough. Your mini-screed reply brought up Trump and division and what not. Whatever.

At least it has a sole.

I think a crooked adulterer is all she needs. I know MAGAs don’t care, but a mighty lot of independents do.

As if you’ve looked to see.

Deep State Slim Shady?

Derp State Slim Shady?

I don’t know if it’s illegal or not. We helped Israel kill an 86 year old man. The regime is still in place. What Trump does next, if the regime does not change, is the $64,000 question. Ready to spend another 10+ years in another quagmire? Or is it better to totally destabilize the entire Middle East by blowing it up and then stepping back?

State sanctioned assassination is illegal, but a state sanctioned assist is okay.

Cornyn isn’t slimy enough for MAGA.

Yup

Please explain. Trump accused Obama of attempting exactly what he is doing now, but Obama never did it. I’ll bet dollars to donuts Trump is sharing the spotlight with Bibi so if something goes south he’ll have him a ready made scapegoat. When it’s over, it’ll be a war Netanyahu started and Trump will take credit for ending another war.The man knows no shame.

[Hidden Content] Falling ratings. He knows a war is the quickest way to rally folks and divert attention from all his failures and lies.

I’ll take Yahoo News over Breitbart any day. Funny how polls are rigged when they say what you don’t like, but you wave them around like a newsboy when they say what you do like. [Hidden Content] I’m voting Talarico.

The part about Anthropic and the Pentagon is not opinion.

My point on the power of the algorithm is made. Do you have any idea why Trump is even talking about Anthropic? Because they won’t give the Pentagon full access to their proprietary operating systems like the idiot Hegseth demanded. Does the President try to clarify the government's position? No, he attacks the company as “woke” so all his supporters will think they should be kicked out. The computer sent you a piece of junk reporting. The algorithm is stalking you…

“2001 A Space Odyssey” by Arthur C. Clarke was written in 1968. HAL is the name of the AI operating system in control of a deep space expedition. Move each letter up one in the alphabet and what do you get? IBM. I don’t know if machines will take over the world. I do know that much of what was science fiction, back to Jules Verne, has become reality. The processing power of AI is mind boggling. The more it knows the deeper it can go. As Ol Dawg said, Pandora’s thrown away the key. I don’t see it ever getting sufficiently controlled so as not to pose as a continuous potential threat to individual privacy or national security. The scope is scary. Call me crazy, but I don’t use the voice controls on my phone, and it aggravates the hell out of my wife that I won’t use Alexa to search the tv. My phone has never told me out of the blue “I didn’t get that”. Hers has. I use ad blockers but they can still get at you. The power of the algorithm to guide us only to sites it thinks we like because of our searches is terrifying. That in itself is an example of how AI can influence us. It behooves us all to think twice (at least) before we believe whatever our devices are sending us. Thank you, Baddog, for bringing up a topic that a diverse political group can discuss together seriously.

What kind of metals you referring to?

BS propaganda.

It was me.
