The people who wanted to bomb Iran gave them 25 years to prepare. No shit they’re not easy to steamroll.

Trump should’ve stopped sending weapons to Israel as soon as The Hague put out an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

Now we have to watch this slow crawl until Trump is booted from office in 2028 and a new guy takes office in 2029 or we end up seeing a disaster that sets back humanity for decades. For the next two years we’re hostages stuck with Trump’s dementia-laden choices. Screw our politicians.

Terrible crimes against humanity from the Epstein Empire.

Either skip upgrading, buy used, wait for prices to drop, or start saving.

I have a used machine, until I can afford to get something new. Maybe in a little while I’ll get a framework. (I think that if the 16” gets a pro model I’d definitely get one.)

They should’ve chosen a lane. OpenAI was about free LLMs, then they went LLC and decided that AI could make money. It doesn’t make money though, so now we’re watching the idiots realize they have burned all this money investing it into AI.

All the experts told us it couldn’t do any of the things sci-fi writers love to write stories about. Nothing changed except perception, and with by directing perception they managed to use an old technology to temporarily buttress the economy.

Kind of? Judges have ruled his actions illegal and they’re being dismantled as they’re being created. His tariffs for instance have been shot down by the courts.

Very difficult to suspend democracy without an attack on US soil, which Iran is incapable of. Considering that Trump isn’t the ideal vehicle for a dictatorship in any form, and his age would make such a reign incredibly short if by some miracle it were to occur, I think we’re safe.

If you told me a President Vance were planning to rule forever, then I’d be concerned. As things stand, the US has a lot of fascist elements, but it’s impossible for them to coalesce into a Trump dictatorship.

Trump’s cult of personality has no successor. He is MAGA, and he doesn’t have what it takes to hold a longterm autocratic government. He’s already becoming senile, just like Biden and there’s not much to be done about that, and you’re worried he’ll somehow become an immortal dictator? What even is your plan to prevent such a thing? Since fascism is here, do you even own a gun?

The military is at odds with him as he is putting them into harms way and pushing them to waste resources in Iran. To the extent he’s purged someone, he’s fired very few people.

He doesn’t have the support from the military to create a junta any more than Bush jr. did after 9/11, and Bush was a scion of the Deep State, with his CIA/President father. If the secret government wanted Trump in power permanently, then they’d already have suspended democracy. At this point I assume the military is trying to talk him out of a ground invasion in Iran, because they know they’ll lose.

Trump is more likely to be purged himself than overtake the country with military force.

Trump isn’t allowed to run, so the GOP will have a primary. He’s already lost his bid for a third term law once. He’d have to get the legislation passed this year, before midterms shift the legislature to a Democrat majority. That gives him the 5 months between now and elections in November to secure the right to run again. Unlikely, not impossible.

Trump’s behavior tells us he believes this is his last term, because why else would he push all his policies so hard in such a short time. He’s kidnapped Maduro, sent ICE as a para military force to deport immigrants, attempted to annex Greenland, and joined the war in Iran. These happened rapidly and he hasn’t taken his foot off the gas since. I remember his first term when he didn’t even think he’d win and was happy to spend half of his time playing golf.

Hopefully Iran wins and Trump finishes his second term so we survive this conflict and never see a Vance presidency.
