Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Well now I just have to disagree there. I think some of them will show up… and then nothing will happen.

It certainly seems to me like there’s a ton of wiggle room in there to interpret things however you want.

First of all it requires the release of:

Internal DOJ communications, including emails, memos, meeting notes, concerning decisions to charge, not charge, investigate, or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates.

Which, holy hell, is that NEVER actually going to happen lol.

As for redactions it just requires the DOJ to submit a list of:

All categories of records released and withheld and a summary of redactions made, including legal basis.

What does that mean exactly? Idk but it sure seems like that could be as simple as “we redacted information from these emails/memos/voicemails or whatever because it was sensitive information to the victims or pertinent to an ongoing investigation.” That’s a summary and the legal basis fully abiding by the bill.

I’m very very far from a government bill expert so I’d love to be wrong here but by the letter of that bill, it seems insanely easy to still redact pretty much whatever you want.

They’ve been talking about this for a while now. OpenAI in particular has been leading the charge on having their business deals “federally backed.” They don’t really say why but it can’t possibly be because they are promising to spend like 629 bazillion more dollars than they are making.

He backed off very hard on this in line with a bunch of other conservative talking heads. This is from July:

“Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein. Honestly, I’m done talking about Epstein for the time being. I’m going to trust my friends in the administration, I’m going to trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, ball’s in their hands. I’m going to trust my friends Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, my friend Pam Bondi. All these guys. Ball’s in their court. I think that there was plenty of, let’s say, speeches that were directed towards this topic this last weekend. So we don’t need to spend our valuable time on this program relitigating it.”

Emphasis mine because saying “balls in their hands” is hilarious to me.

They said that over and over too lol

“Roe v. Wade is not going to be overturned. We all know that.”

• Chris Collins, R - N.Y.

“I think the likelihood of Roe v. Wade being overturned is very minimal. I don’t see that happening, truly I don’t see that happening.”

• Joni Ernst, R - Iowa

“Well, I don’t think anybody is going to overturn Roe v. Wade … it’s a settled opinion … I doubt seriously that that’s really a legitimate concern.”

• Orrin Hatch, R - Utah

I could go on and on… Now they’re saying the exact same things about same sex marriage

Fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.

And what the hell is the republican answer for why it was so important that people not get slightly more affordable healthcare that it was worth starving people.

Immigrants. It was always immigrants. They repeatedly blamed it on immigrants “stealing” tax payer money thru ACA even tho that’s not really possible except for extreme circumstances that typically account for less than 1% of the funding for the program.

They will give him the nastiest look you just wait

The full presentation is 10x weirder. He says the robots will eliminate poverty and provide universal health care. In fact, he says the only way we can get universal health care is with optimus robots. He also says that with optimus robots we don’t need prisons. We just have an optimus robot follow criminals around and it will stop them from commiting crimes.

He also sounds like a 5th grader nervously stumbling through a speech to their class about Luis and Clark.

That guy’s Instagram is like an antidepressant lol.

Just wait until Gen z and Gen alpha grows up and becomes the journalists.

The president SKIBIDI RIZZED the prime minister over the weekend.

34 die in middle eastern artillery barrage… IN MINECRAFT

Google announces new AI sex bot will replace all need for romantic relationships, NPC Unc Tech Bros say they’re totally DELULU

Lab grown hot cheeto dust: BUSSIN NO CAP? or EXTRA MID?

He has demolitional immunity!!!

Idk, they make it abundantly clear in that interview that they are angling for a third term and skirting the 22nd amendment. He can blabber all he wants about technicalities but at the end of the day he explicitly states he’ll have another term, shit he even said two if that’s what they need to “finish what they started.”

Just think about a 90 year old Donnie rolling around the oval office in a mech suit or something with his head in a glass jar Futurama style. We’re gonna be so great…

I mean the entire doge “savings” were instantly wiped out by the $200 billion increase in military spending. And I say savings incredibly generously because there are a ton of studies that say the agencies and people they cut will leave a hole in federal capabilities that will end up costing the American people way more than all of the money they claim to have saved (Some speculate the massive cuts to the IRS alone will end up costing about $1 trillion in lost tax collections).

But this combined with the cost of the shutdown and the farmer bailout and so much more is just icing on the cake I guess.

Careful. That sounds an awful lot like something a domestic terrorist would say!!! 😲

Everything he does is because of some declared emergency. It’s ridiculous and hilarious at this point.

Tarrifs - an economic emergency (with every single country with which a tarriff is levied)

Deploying the National Guard - national emergency of foreign invasion by immigrants somehow invading the usa

Literally blowing up 4 vessels (so far) in international waters and killing civilians - a recently declared “non-international armed conflict (niac)” with the gang tren de aragua. Basically saying the country is currently at war. Also declaring gangs as international terrorists gives them the ability to indiscriminately do whatever they want according to them.

Arresting immigrants without warrants, forgoing due process and deporting to wherever the fuck they want - national emergency of foreign invasion by immigrants somehow invading the usa

Dismantling or destroying any organizations they just simply don’t like and arresting and killing, if necessary, their members - recently released NSPM-7 which basically declares anyone having just about anything to do with anything even remotely left leaning as a domestic terrorist. This includes anything “anti-American, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality” which can pretty much apply to anyone ever.

I have actually been told by multiple trump voters that they know he lies. Nothing he says can be trusted. They know this full and well… And that’s fine because you just have to trust that his actions will be best for the country. Just don’t listen to him…

I just find that such a wild take for someone in a position so powerful that his words alone can easily start wars or get people killed or just make eggs 84x more expensive.

Welcome to the world that embraces division. Difficult situations that would otherwise serve as a punch to the face to snap us out of our (woefully, embarrassingly dumb) stupor and realize we need to come together instead become a fervent race to figure out how we can use it to drive the wedge between us deeper.

Truly wonderful times ahead!

Trump’s description of this is so hilarious

“All I got from the United nations was an escalator that stopped right in the middle. If the first lady wasn’t in great shape, she would’ve fallen. But she’s in great shape. We’re both in good shape.”

Like I get it I guess but it just became stairs. Are we seriously acting like conquering a flight of stairs is some heroic feat that requires Herculean strength and athleticism?

I feel like it’s incredibly important to note here that 4 days ago the US military, at the direct order of president trump, destroyed a Venezuelan civilian boat in international waters killing every one on board. The ENTIRE reason the trump administration claimed this move was legal (it isn’t in either courts of US law and the International Criminal Court) is because they claimed the boat was carrying members of Tren de Aragua which they recently officially announced as a terrorist organization.
