It helps to be born to the right family in the right location.

Loving this show so far. Seems like an allegory for AI.

Now Yoho’s Strategy Group is alleged to have helped film a DHS TV commercial for the government’s “Stronger Border, Stronger America” campaign, per an investigation published Friday by ProPublica—even though the firm’s name isn’t listed on any public documents.

Instead, the main recipient listed is a shell company, Safe America Media, which had been created only days before it was awarded more than $143 million by DHS, after the department invoked a “national emergency” to bypass competitive bidding.

Oof

Innocent until proven guilty. Can’t prove guilt if all the evidence is suppressed.

It’s been spreading for far too long.

Bu bu bu but pizzagate

It’s probably highly specific to how much money somebody makes. If my monthly paycheck is $2000, and you give me $1000, I would use that to get ahead by a half a month. If I make $10k a month and you give me $1000, getting ahead by a tenth of a month won’t do much. So hookers and blow all day.

Spoken like a true AI.

Doing it actively!

The blazes power grab of us!!!

“California’s redistricting scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process,” Attorney General Pam Bondisaid in an emailed statement. “Governor Newsom’s attempt to entrench one-party rule and silence millions of Californians will not stand.”

Every accusation is an admission. But this one is just so flagrant.

For now

At least they got the border…

You asked about polling. It is useful for political strategy.

If you’re now talking about the shutdown, I’ve said it elsewhere, people on here had WAY too high of expectations for what is possible from a shutdown.

Political strategy my dude. Is that a real question? You act like this is the end of the Democratic Party.

On top of the polling. That’s all they are ever going to accomplish.

You’re in a politics talking politics. Of course talking strategy is going to sound disgusting when all you want is results. Get off your high horse.

Personally, I think the only reason they did a shutdown was to show that they are fighting back. It’s literally the only thing they can do. But a shutdown is never going to result in legislative changes. It is literally a political move to make one side look worse and the other side look better.

Disgusting? Sure. Basic politics? Of course.

People on these communities do not want to hear alternative opinions. Any amount of pushing back against the community opinion is matched with this kind of treatment.

I honestly think this is the biggest reason why democrats lose so much. We can’t get progressive policies passed because we shit all over democrats that aren’t 100% on board with the far left making it so much harder for the left to control any office of government.

This is coming from a progressive person btw. I would rather we have 51 democratic senators where some of them are Manchin or Fetterman than have 40 Bernie Sanders’s in the senate and never have a majority.

If you truly believe Republicans were going to cave and vote for extending the ACA funds, then I see where your coming from.

I think it was clear that was NEVER going to happen. And if you look at government shutdowns in the past, this kind of thing never works out.

So keeping the government closed at this point only served to hurt people that were dependent on it being open.

Republicans don’t give a shit about people and they aren’t worried about losing votes, so they would gladly keep it shut and let people suffer and also watch the ACA funds expire at the same time.
