Republicans aren't republican; they oppose the very idea of a nation of laws and rights that apply equally to everyone. Nor are they conservatives, since they don't believe in nature conservation or respecting the sacrifices that our military personnel make. They are reflexive and compulsive anti-liberals; whatever liberals are for, they are against, and with a bitter vengeance.
What is a conservative but a reactionary. It is a virtual tautology.
Radical" that is a matter of perspective.
I have taken a number of online ideological purity tests, and I come out radical, because I don't fit the parameters or definition that someone, with their own bias, has constructed as to what is left or right.
I remarked elsewhere that we may need a revolution, and certainly need a reformation. Our current enlightenment provides abundant guidance, if we can muster the courage to answer the call.
The AI information is very worrisome, but would laws by Congress or any other nation really begin to control its development? Sure, new rules might help guide things, but North Korea certainly is not going to stop doing...whatever it is doing with this. And for that matter people sitting in figurative basements all over the world will continue to play with these programs. I'm not saying we're going to get to the point of "Terminator", or the even more horrible story it was based on (https://galacticjourney.org/stories/I_Have_No_Mouth_and_I_Must_Scream_-_Harlan_Ellison.pdf ) But once scientific and engineering knowledge is in the open you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Look at how people are already misusing drones to interfere with commercial flights, firefighting operations and the like. When irresponsible people get their hands on new technology we have scary times.
Great response. This is the response when you have paid off politicians refusing to regulate something as dangerous and terminal as AI. This is not going to end well and is just another step in the Tech industry effort to destroy Democracy and replace with a Technology based Gov't run for,the benefit of the billionaires,. Maybe some day,more americans will wake up and figure it out or maybe not.
Get While The Getting’ Is Good: Fascist Republican Greed
“Never met a greedy fascist Republican I didn’t like,” said Cheeto, the corrupt felon, convicted sex offender, and abuser of presidential powers.
In the environment of politics both Democrats and fascist Republicans are both at the $$$ trough but the fascist Republicans take the prize for greed, prodded by the wealthy donor class that fuels their lust for power. This perversity was well demonstrated in F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby set in 1925. Interestingly the novel was a commercial and critical disappointment during Fitzgerald's lifetime, selling poorly, but historically it depicts a parallel of what is happening today with a NeoNazi twist.
And not only is the morality of the country being tested, the judicial system is put to the test as well with the fascist highest court debasing the rule of law by giving a felon absolute immunity. Emboldened by such a judicial gift, Cheeto is now working out an IRS immunity deal as well.
But the roarin’ 1920’s didn’t end well and with a spendthrift golden gilded Cheeto at the helm and a soaring national debt of almost $40T, Cheeto will become the 21st century Hoover.
Sailors are living in terrible conditions. Trump wants them to endure longer deployments. He is more concerned with posting a picture of himself showing POTUS George Washington around his new ballroom. When will MAGA realize he doesn't give a damn about them. Probably never. It is absolutely a cult, no question about it. They probably think he has helped with grocery prices, as they pay twice the price for their weekly food. I am in the middle of LALA here in Hawaii. Climate change is real. Wind, rain and my water is out from a tree breaking a water line. Tree limbs hitting the roof sound like explosions. At least I have power, which is a surprise.
TheBolshevik Revolution started with a sailor revolt
The February Revolution: Earlier in 1917, a bloody mutiny by Kronstadt sailors overthrew tsarist authority on their island base, setting up an independent local soviet
.The July Days: Kronstadt sailors traveled to Petrograd to join armed street demonstrations supporting radical socialist change
.The October Coup: In November 1917, thousands of armed Baltic Fleet sailors and ships (such as the cruiser Aurora) arrived in Petrograd to actively support Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks in overthrowing the Provisional Government.

You just effectively described a conservative.
I would call them radical reactionaries.

Incompetence only exceeded by malicious malfeasance defines the current "administration". Thanks again for all that you uncover about them Thom!

And Cheeto is worried about ending like Hoover…ha.
Inappropriate image. U show a wimp stand-in holding a plate. A real Marine would have a killer face on.

Fuck the head of Murder Inc. USA’s get out of jail free memos. He can put them where the sun don’t shine (in his crappy diaper).
After 9 months at sea, I would not be surprised if there were a bumper crop of births, and therefore daddies desperate to be home.
Thanks, Thom, I see they still haven’t found a bottom they don’t love being at, all the time. We,don’t want everybody to vote! Thom!
