Well, I'm sure all of us appreciate the results of you abusing your stomach lining--and I would never tell you stop shining a light on Trump's bullshit because it's bad for your physical and mental health. But, if there's anyway you can ease up after the mid-terms (assuming and hoping there will be mid-terms)--then do it; give yourself a break and stay healthy for the long haul.

Long ago (a phrase which now covers a large portion of my life), Joni Mitchell sang, "To pave paradise, put up a parking lot..."

It's perfect, and inevitable, that Trump, who is dead and rotting inside, tries to do everything he can, legal and illegal, to destroy every growing thing in the world. He paves over the Rose Garden, puts up stone helicopter landing pads where grass once grew, and promotes "clean coal"--whatever fantasy/greed machine turned that phrase out! ...It's interesting that he's putting himself on the ballot. This midterm will therefore be an up and down vote on whether all the lies and fantasies he churns out will still motivate his zombie-MAGA base to vote for him. ...Trump is torn between his desperate desire to be loved (voted for) and having ICE shut down the polls to prevent voting entirely.

I guess a “done deal” now means “I have checked that one off the list of things to say.” Still the reality TV character.

I think we need a whistle-blower AI ... a tattletail that monitors other AI's and rats them out when they go rogue.

And I'd like an AI that can organize all the crimes (laws broken), all the contraventions of the Constitution, all Human Rights violations, all lies told to citizens, and all the promises not kept ... summing it all up with names of the people who are responsible. The human I would trust with this is Jamie Raskin but we need him in court every single day.

The endless hyperbole, bullshit, and outright lying may finally be reaching the point of diminishing returns. You can only announce so many factories that haven’t been built, deals that haven’t been signed and victories that haven’t occurred before reality bites.

What I’m waiting for is AI fact-checking in real time. We’re not very far away from watching a speech with an AI running: **TRUE. MISLEADING. NO EVIDENCE. FALSE. THAT PROJECT WAS FUNDED THREE YEARS AGO.

** Not hours later, after everyone has moved on—but seconds after the words leave the microphone.

Thanks for this info. An excellent look at DT’s style of false leadership.
