They can tell the difference. But you’d be amazed at the mental gymnastics someone with extremely strong motivations can engage in.

You gotta remember that these are mostly people who went back to the Trump trough three times in a row, even as he’s been steadily destabilizing and destroying their lives. If they admit they fucked up now, they have to admit they’ve been fucking up for over a decade, non-stop. Many of them would literally rather die than do that.

I wish Trump would rupture, like the pestilent boil on America’s ass that he is.

In order to get there, they need to recognize the fact that if they make themselves a disposable rubber-stamp for everything a dictator does, inevitably the dictator realizes he doesn’t even need them anymore and disposes of them.

I hope they are at the point of realization, but I have doubts.

Please tell me PP’s political career is over now.

Intermittent reminder that every single one of his tariffs is illegal.

I like the idea, but unfortunately it would be treated as an excuse to start another war (by the “peace” president).

A better option is to gently, but firmly, insist that he affirm the sovereignty and autonomy of Denmark and Greenland. And if he won’t do that, then simply escort him back onto the plane and send him home.

Ask her to read the links from her ChatGPT queries with you. Do it together. Show her how ChatGPT is confidently and convincingly lying to her. And each time she comes back with another result from a biased prompt, do it again. Eventually she’ll at least stop trying to convince you that ChatGPT knows all, out of embarrassment.

What I really want conservatives to contend with is the fact that cutting the size of the federal workforce this way has done LITERALLY NONE of the things they always insist shrinking the government will accomplish.

• It has not reduced prices. In fact, those are way up.
• It has not reduced taxes on the middle and lower classes. In fact, those are up too (while taxes on the ultra-wealthy continue to drop).
• It has not made government services more efficient. In fact, those are now substantially shittier.
• It has not made health care less expensive.
• It has not made unemployment go down (obviously).
• It has not made the private sector step in where government services falter.

Everything is more expensive and less efficient now. Small government does not equal good government.

Conservatives, this is what happens when you elect people who will actually follow through on the batshit insane garbage you’ve always wanted. You own this mess.

Holy shit, I can literally just copy and paste the text?!?

Loads fine for me. Maybe their servers were taking a beating when you tried?

I’ve been somewhat avoiding the news (for my sanity), but I have heard that some of the PDFs turned out to be badly redacted and the original text is accessible programmatically. Do you happen to have a link to one? I’m a developer and have worked with PDFs extensively in the past. I’d love to delve into one and un-redacted it.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.

As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.

Well of course. They knew all along that they’ve been cultivating a base driven by unreasoning fear and hate, and they know full well how violent such people can be.

There was never a moment when the politicians pushing that fear and hate didn’t know they were full of shit.

You misread what I wrote. I didn’t say it couldn’t fool me, I said I’ll never pay for it. I’m not interested in fabricated emotional connections to fake art, even if it’s faked well enough to trick me. All this means is that I’m going to be researching the bands and artists I listen to, which I already do anyways.

There really isn’t anything unique anyway in human made content

100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated “art,” because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It’s all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.

Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.

Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.

Welp, there went any urge I might have had to fly anywhere in the continental United States.

Assuming we survive this fascist shit as a country, one of the first things we need to do is a constitutional amendment removing the pardon power from the president and putting it into the hands of a committee with appointees from all three branches.

Alternate headline: Bannon tells GOP they’ve been doing just an absolute fuckton of crimes.
