It was a pretty sad day watching those two testify about the death threats they received because they passed a tic tac.

$148 million is a nice ending to that story.

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States needs to accept that Ukraine will likely need to “cede some territory” to Russia to end the fighting.

The problem is that if you reward Putin for his efforts, you only empower him and dictators like China and Iran. China will go after Taiwan, and Iran will go after Syria.

Because after all, they don’t have to beat the US military, or even war exhaustion from the people. He just has to outlast the greed of the American Senators.

Which compared to the 800 billion we spend on the military, or the $300,000 you can bribe a senator. It would seem that Russia has chosen the more economic approach.

A formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow us to take it to the next necessary step, and I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”

While comforting that the republicans feel another fishing expedition would yield result, this is was what was promised last time.

That there would be undeniable proof Biden was corrupt.

And it yielded nothing. They had full access to his bank records/ taxes and couldn’t find anything?!

Either I have to assume that Sleepy Biden can hide his secrets better then the whole republican party, or I have to assume that the republican party isn’t competent enough to find the evidence.

Nikki Haley has devolved into Koch Pawn.

I am surprised that her talking points earned her that nomination, they must be super desperate.

If her talking points become more moderate, she could become a contender for Biden. Good thing that won’t happen.

“When supply chains are smooth, prices fall for goods, food, and equipment, putting more money in the pockets of American families, workers, farmers, and entrepreneurs,” the statement added.

The problem is that prices never fall even when supply chains are smooth, it isn’t like Kelloggs or Nestle are going to lower their prices because the costs of moving stuff and buying stuff is cheaper.

That money goes right back into profits.

Unions have helped a lot with this problem, but it has only helped people with a union organization.

And it really hasn’t fixed the core problems in America.

Americans need to see some kind of relief from these companies that are apart of our lives running smoothly.

I think a large part of us assumed that people in power wouldn’t cross red lines that had existed for decades.

Which was a terrible assumption for democrats to make. Especially when they controlled the house, senate, and presidency in the Obama era.

That being said, let’s call a spade a spade here. Democrats have been fighting to return Roe v Wade in many states. And Republicans have been standing against it, to the point of fighting their voters on laws they voted for.

Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native, approached numerous voters of Vietnamese heritage with limited English comprehension and filled out and signed election forms and ballots on behalf of them and their English-speaking children.

Keep in mind he still lost his election.

While it’s incredibly rare for fraud to affect more than a handful of votes, the frequency with which Republicans do it isn’t a coincidence. It’s a direct result of a party that is undermining democracy at every turn and—importantly—telling its voters that the other side is going to cheat anyway.

It’s more of the “I am able to cheat, so everyone must be cheating” Logic that gets people into trouble. Then they realize that they are the only ones cheating

Agreed, there is a bit of hubris in my argument

However, I don’t think it matters either way because China has the information, so it’s more about likelihood of replication.

Which I would say, China has the best chance of replicating that.

But just because you copied someone else’s homework doesn’t mean you understand it, or that it was even helpful to understanding the sum of the whole.

Don’t get me wrong, this data breach is terrible, but the only way this is a death sentence for the Dutch is if China got a 1:1 schematic and build process of the chips, including material composition.

Which I don’t think they have.

However, even though it confirmed the theft of its intellectual property, NXP says that the breach did not result in material damage — saying that the data stolen is complex enough that it can’t be easily used to replicate designs. As such, the company didn’t see the need to inform the general public, reports NRC.

Looks like China got to peak at the Dutch’s homework. However, that isn’t going to do much good if China doesn’t know how the Dutch got to that solution. However, I have no doubt it is just a matter of time and resources.

Also, it is unclear if the information that was taken was helpful at all. I doubt they had full schematics of next gen chips lying around. It also sounds like there is another layer of security they feel hasn’t been breached. Which is good for the most part because it means the information has knowledge layers that have to be understood first for the manufacturing process.

Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems, the person said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on behalf of the company.

Accountants are about to be out of a job.

In all seriousness though, it just means the tools we have will become more precise, so you can dig though a company’s financials within seconds and know where irregularities lie.

Which is great news for the IRS. If they could get their hands on that setup.

Which is also bad news if you are a stock trader and an AI just took your job.

Which is a crazy idea to think about…
Who had capitalist AI overloads on their apocalypse bingo card?

I am sad to say it, but I think Vivek is slowly coming to that same conclusion.

You see him try so hard to be an extreme candidate, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Trump.

Or to the charismatic wet noodle that is Ron DeSantis.

32 seems like an awfully small number of texts.

Admittedly it does depend on what key words they are looking for.

But this is the kind of stuff McElon could go to prison for. So one would hope he complied.

I am not sure what they are crying about now. We knew paces in automation and AI were going to render jobs obsolete.

They are only worried about that NOW that they realize the people were the ones buying the products?

I think there is a problem that a sitting senator can use his position of power to call fights on people he doesn’t like.

But I don’t think he understands the consequences if he loses. Or that there isn’t a situation where he really wins outside his ego.

Scenario 1: He loses the fight, people realize that violence solves deadlocked problems. Union Support emboldens.

Scenario 2: He wins the fight, everyone around him including the audience sees an MMA fighter beating the shit out of a union leader in 4k resolution. Union support with GOP would die in an instant. People realize that discussions don’t solve problems. ------> civil unrest.

Democratic support will be crucial, because a number of conservative Republicans are already vowing to oppose the measure to protest the absence of sharp spending cuts — a number large enough to sink the bill without help from across the aisle.

Some of the proposals include:

• Making discrimination based on abortion care from a company legal
• Removal of funds from the IRS, which help reduce the deficit.
• Removal of FBI funds
• Medicare spending cuts
• Funding for Israel

Things that are not included on that list:

• Reducing gas prices
• Reducing food prices
• Reducing housing prices
• Reducing student debt
• Global warming protections

Just in case anyone was wondering if the Republican party is trying to help the American people.

It does feel a little bit on the cuff of another big reveal doesn’t it?

Justices file the same annual financial disclosure reports as other federal judges.

Can someone tell Justice Clarence Thomas, because he missed that memo. By like a lot. Like an RV size worth, maybe even a property size estate worth.

The Court will also consider whether amendments to its rules on the disclosure obligations of parties and counsel may be advisable.

The Court will assess whether it needs additional resources in its Clerk’s Office or Office of Legal Counsel to perform initial and ongoing review of recusal and other ethics issues.

That’s two maybes for what sounds a lot like “no.”

That is some seriously bad situational awareness combined with some terribly bad luck for those thieves.

One of the agents opened fire, but no one was struck by the gunfire, the Secret Service said in a statement. The three people were seen fleeing in a red car

Then there is the fortune that they were allowed to flee the scene… unharmed…

It included a policy rider that would have nullified a Washington, D.C., law aimed at preventing employer discrimination on the basis of reproductive health care decisions.

Wow… Just so you know, these guys are so enamored with the idea of taking away more of your rights, it is the make or break point for some of these spending bills.

Some conservatives, meanwhile, opposed the bill because it did not include language to bar funding for a new FBI headquarters.

Why??? They are the ones who screamed not to de-fund the police right?

saying it still “needs to cut spending,” even as it proposes pulling back and repurposing billions of dollars in IRS funding approved by Democrats in the last Congress.

Every dollar we spend on the IRS is reducing the deficit, this is moronic. This will add spending, not take it away.

the Speaker of the House is weighing whether he can get away with a stopgap spending solution.

Another one? Why have spending debates every year when we can have them every 45 days instead!

If I have to ride this roller-coaster one more time, I think I am going to hurl.
