Once upon a time, it was actually permissible for science fiction to acknowledge the plainly obvious.

I thought it was obvious - it's simply buying votes.

Isn't it coincidental that diverse and diversion are so similar.

Miller asked Musk:
"Would you do DOGE again knowing what you know now?"
Musk responded:"I mean, the thing is, I think in terms of instead of doing DOGE, I would have basically built you know, worked on my companies essentially. So and not and the cars would they wouldn't have been burning the cars..."
Miller noted:
"You gave up a lot to DOGE."
Musk said:
"Yes."
He continued:
"They really want the money to keep flowing. Um, so if you stop it from flowing, there's like a very strong reaction to to stopping the money flowing."

I hope the money stops flowing to Big Healthcare. Truly ridiculous.

Somehow it took two Congress members to go outside of Congress in order to stop millions of dollars of payments to THE TALIBAN! And they consider it a WIN! How fucked up are we that it's almost impossible to stop taxpayer money from continuing to fund THE TALIBAN?!

I'd like to think that this is a non-partisan issue.  It's been going on for decades.  Am I wrong?

Yesterday, our majority-Republican congress authorized another $900b in military and foreign-aid spending.

Nine hundred billion is a lot of dollars.

Guess how much of that money is going directly into the pockets of lobbyists aligned with the present administration, and to politicians in Israel, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Somalia, Yemen, and elsewhere?

It's not zero.

It should be zero.



Have any of Epstein's clients been tried and convicted yet?


Any "deep-state" arrests?



I do not mind altering government records to refer to gender-confused people by their real name rather than their fantasy name, however that was not the primary concern on my mind when I voted for the current administration a year ago, back when the price of beef was 15% lower than it is today and yet the number of people executed annually for child-rape on a geopolitical scale was still zero.

I thought it was "only" millions, not billions. Hey when your coffers are empty like ours, what's a few zeroes between frens?
