Trump to install loyalists to reshape U.S. foreign policy on China, NATO and Ukraine

Part of the plan is to cancel the election security agency. so I'm not sure there will eventually be other elections where you do all of these things if this one is lost.

AMD's New Threadripper Chips Have a Hidden Fuse That Blows When Overclocking Is Enabled

So the purpose is to protect them if someone overclocks and fries it, meaning they know if you take it in under warranty and say you want this faulty part replaced?

Should AI be referred to as "it" or "they"?

A plagiarism machine is as sentient as a dummy is in a ventriloquist act.

Could we have sentient AI in the future if we don't slip into neo-fascism while char-broiling the planet?

Yes, but not yet.

Trump calls on supporters to 'guard the vote' in Democratic-run US cities

Jump

Gargleblaster @kbin.social 2y ago

If someone can sit outside Mar-A-Lago and identify who is coming and going, then we need people at polling stations doing the same when Trumplings show up to 'guard' the polls.

No masks. No weapons. Put your ass on the line if you want to follow fascist orders.

when will be your last time to vote for the "lesser of two evils"?

Jump

During the Iraq War, Kurt Vonnegut was asked about the anti-war protests.. His response was that, during Vietnam, he was part of anti-war protests firing on all cylinders and laser-focused and going to stop that war. He said it was ultimately about as effective as climbing to the top of a ladder and tossing a pie on the ground. This time will be no different.

So I don't know what you're hoping to gain. The 'Ima take my ball and go home' approach didn't work out so well in 2016. Threatening not to vote isn't going to phase anyone in a country where more than half the population doesn't vote anyway. Maybe instead of threats you should work with other people trying to help the people you want elected get elected.

What is the most exotic meat you've eaten? How was your experience?

Gargleblaster @kbin.social 3y ago

Ate a platter of 3 different fried insects. I think it was wood worms, bees, and crickets. The bees were the best.

None of them were horrible. Would do it again.

Trump goes all in on Nazi rhetoric, and the media gives him another free pass

Trump saying that out loud happened 4 days ago. This plan is not new this week. There are bits and pieces of new coverage going back a couple months.

Like I had to include that many different outlets in order to provide a full picture. FYI, APNews reported about this in late August. The fact that the NYT is telling you about it this week means that something very wrong occurred for two months while they didn't.

The rightwing having a 1000-page guide to their overthrow of the country is what I would call the most important event of this year on US soil.

Do you want to only be told about the climate change rejection and not the other plans? That's what's fucked up.

The media is also avoiding reporting about all the parts of the rightwing plan.

They are as follow:

1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

Paul Pelosi attacker offers apology in emotional testimony: ‘He was never my target’

Jump

Gargleblaster @kbin.social 3y ago

What in that article explains his apology better?

He switched from left to right because of a youtube video and then broke into a government official's house with a deadly weapon.

He then used the deadly weapon when he knew he would be caught.

Fuck him.

His sad snff snff Rittenhouse dance in court is just to avoid life in prison.

House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry in September, following months of probes. They allege that Biden and his family have personally profited from policy decisions made by Biden when he was vice president during former President Barack Obama's administration.

Cuz the VP makes policy decisions. Look at all of Kamala's policy decisions. Remember Pence's policy decisions? LOL

My problem is that, anytime anybody says anything about Project 2025, they only talk about one of the many things included.

Let's be very specific about what all is included in Project 2025:

1-Establish that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.https://www.axios.com/2023/05/21/trump-2025-visionhttps://www.axios.com/2023/05/21/trump-2025-vision

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-conservatives-trump-heritage-857eb794e505f1c6710eb03fd5b58981#:~:text=With%20a%20nearly%201%2C000-page,many%20as%2050%2C000%20federal%20workers.

3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-mulling-deploying-military-to-streets-on-day-1-if-elected-report-says

4-Use the DoJ to target criticshttps://www.businessinsider.com/trump-presidential-justice-department-probes-barr-kelly-milley-cobb-2023-11

5-Weaken the election security agencyhttps://abcnews.go.com/Politics/republicans-gop-president-curb-election-security-agency-angered/story?id=102261352

6-Reject climate changehttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/27/project-2025-dismantle-us-climate-policy-next-republican-president

7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protectionshttps://www.metroweekly.com/2023/09/right-wing-project-2025-seeks-to-eradicate-lgbtq-protections/

8-Bring the Bible into governmenthttps://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/project-2025-heritage-foundation-christian-nationalism-rcna103510

And all of this is public and written in a 1000-page handbook by the Heritage Foundation.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

This raises the question of why I just had to include 9 different sources. That's because the media is only sharing this piecemeal even though it should be news shared with everybody. Their coverage is rubbish.
