Yup, that line will be along in five minutes 555 Anyway, today ( US time ) is the first day in the history of the US that the American public got access to an entire spending bill before the vote. It doesn't matter of you are a Dem or Republican, that's a big deal. So I'm going to say: Congratulations, USA.

I use X. I constantly mute people for various reasons. I said the other day that I have the word "Trump" blocked. I'll see enough about him through other accounts without my timeline being swamped. People who are leaving X due to "white supremacy" etc are telling on themselves. It takes two minutes to mute racist accounts and contrary to opinion, some of the most racist accounts you'll see are by Asians. I don't see any sexual content, that's all blocked, but I do see plenty of cultural threads, football and other sports. The X timeline is what you make it. All I know about Bluesky is that its apparently are dominated by leftwingers. I see plenty of left wing comment on Twitter so no need to go there.

Yup, those days are gone. That will never happen again.

And I note the Democrats new attack line, describing Musk as "President Musk." They are enraged that he has brought upon them the one thing they could not afford to lose - the end of their grip on the news narrative. $44 billion for Twitter was cheap. And Grok AI alone ( part of Twitter ) has already changed the political narrative.

I find it interesting that people are enraged by the idea of transparency. American politics will never be the same again for one simple reason - Artificial Intelligence read the entire spending bill just blocked in Congress in seconds and summarized the contents, To put that into perspective the spending bill was 1500 pages of dense legalese. One of the provisions was a vast increase in pay for Congress as well as enhanced health benefits. X users cracked - the spending bill was ripped to pieces in realtime. This is a genuine "for the people" moment as people were able to track exactly what Congress was proposing. The amazing thing? Dick Durbin, one of the most senior Democrats, had no idea that the pay increase was part of the bill. I can see some friction points in regards to the inclusion of AI in the body politic, but exposing pork barrel and stupid policies before a vote can only be a good thing.

See. This guy thinks he'he's switched on. Democrats are throwing their hands up. The sane ones know they accepted scumology as facct

BTW- accept at this GG is a bitter lonely man. No sane man on planet earth wakes feeding his sad dragon. Pitiful.

Some truth in that. What's more true is the offense the left takes v differing opinions.

The level of stupidity is astounding. More Democrats use X than Republicans. Anc yet some of you think it's a right wing dominated platform. Utterly clueless.

BS. I dont read that drivel. The problem with people like you is that you can't engage without hitting the gutter.

I've used up.my quota for dealing with witless trolls today. But I'll be nice to you as you are clearly a lonely man. The next time you press send, will.it be a nice message? Or yet another reflection of your deep unhappiness with life? .

Trump is not negotiating. He is repeating the Biden administration's demand for the hostage release. As a private citizen, he is allowed to do so and it clearly has not occurred to you that Trump is demanding a foreign policy win for Joe Biden. Please feel free to explain why it is against the Logan Act for a private individual to express support for US government policy.

X ( Twitter) is destroying the main stream media. The user numbers are astronomical and the level of high quality information is incredible. Without X Trump wouldn't have won as X has strangled many fake media stories at birth. Community Notes are the best moderation tool on the Internet. The commentary is often hilarious 😂. The strange thing is the political balance. 48% Democrat, 47% Republican. Places like BLUESKY are Democrat dominated. You don't learn anything by not listening to the other side. Van Jones explains why Democrats need to get off the "Trump is an idiot" train and the importance of the new media here.

Trump has won. The only question is the scale of victory If Trump retains Congress at the midterms The Dems are forked forever

I didn't admit that.

By the way, I don't really care if Musk achieves his $2 trillion target. As far as I'm concerned $200 billion would be a magic result. I'm more interested in the deregulation. If the US economy booms then we all win unless you're a gibbering deranged Democrat that can't stand the idea of American success under Trump. And there's plenty of them.

Have you seen the size of the Federal budget? I only gave open source as an example, I further explained the end game with the national debt ( borrowing costs ). Now you explain open source. You can use small words if you like, I don't want you stretching your intellect.

I've not really been following this story. By chance I was talking to three Kurdish guys a few minutes ago. They said they were pleased to see the end of Assad but worried about the rebels. I saw commentary yesterday indicating ( from a Muslim source ) that the rebels are bad news with the worst traits of the Taliban and ISIS running through a couple of the groupings. The Kurds said to me that at best Syria will stabilise as Egypt did after the Arab Soring, but they think its more likely to result in a Libya level collapse. I can't see how that helps anyone and Turkey in particular will be like a cat on a hot tin roof in that event.

Correct.

You have no concept of unfunded debt obligations. Riddle me this - what happens when the tax take cannot cover the social security obligation? Does the Tooth Fairy appear and sprinkle gold dust onto pensioners? Or does the US government go to the financial markets to borrow?

I already explained. The real target here is to bring the federal deficit down so that the cost of borrowing can be reduced. I'm not goin over that again. You clearly don't understand the concept of open source ( lol ). Would you be amazed to hear that the entirety of X ( Twitter ) is open source? The company that was supposed to go bankrupt after laying off 80% of it's employees and is now the number one news aggregator with record user metrics in the world? Can you explain the benefits of open source? Do you even know what it is?

It's an idiotic argument and I think he's now realised the stupidity. Anyone positing that Trump is going to steal people's pensions and medical care is wired to the moon.

Yes, it's an unfunded debt obligation. The unfunded debt obligation is well in excess of $100 trillion.

He didn't say $2 trillion a year. You made that up in your head. And I just posted about open sourcing. The assumption that the Federal; government is going to attack people's income entitlement is just another disgusting Democrat lie. They are not after people's pensions. That would be political suicide. They are going after rip-off contracts and unnecessary management structures etc

Oh, and wait till the courts fill up with cases against unauthorised government agencies - that, along with the Chevron decision will cause carnage. Democrat supporters are having their heads filled with utter drivel ( as usual ) - never listen to these Russia Hoax clowns, they have no credibility.
