Meanwhile, he taxed Europe +30% for not opening businesses in the US.

LMAO, this isn't even true. Since Europe completely cucked itself to Biden and started importing oil & gas mainly from the US and US proxies (SA, UAE, Qatar) energy costs in the EU went up and manufacturing either closed or moved to the US. Not a lot, but what did move, moved to the US. Biden's IRA included subsidies for just that purpose, to steal manufacturing from the EU, because the idea was that EU companies have nowhere else to go.

This just proves that you can be totally subservient to the US and it doesn't matter.

You must be something really special to write an article like this on the same week when the UK welcomed Al Qaeda's leader as the new president of Syria and Trump also removed all sanctions.

People are speculating that Elon tried to hardcore some stuff (a big no no!), but this broke the algorithm.

That was one thing that the host specifically mentioned, but if it was just that one thing, they would just cut it out. But they pulled the entire interview.

That is why Kamala didn't go on Rogan. What would she say in an one hour open format interview? How she likes Joe Biden? And the DNC couldn't kill that interview, Rogan would just publish it.

So, apparently during the 2024 campaign, Kamala Harris did an interview with the liberal podcast @SubwayTakes that was SO bad that they decided not to even release it because the host didn’t want to get blamed for her losing…

We are lying to you in a routine way, why are you getting upset?

Also, didn't they previously say that video was destroyed/lost? Now they are just publishing it? And some people are saying there is more than one way to the cells anyway. I'm sure there are also other ways to fake/mislead with this.

It looks like Elon/xAI finally managed to get their "AI" Grok to not be woke, after saying that it needs to be 'retrained'. Now it is talking about 'leftist Jews' and praising Adolf Hitler (directly by name!). The funny thing is that it is also using the vocabulary of the soy right, like 'facts don't care about your feelings'.

But don't worry, this is all OK because Elon supports Israel.

[edit] From the RollingStone Magazine;

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:

Some more commentary on the passage of the Trump BBB bill;

Mechanically what Senate Rs did was refuse to meet with the parliamentarian because they knew she’d say no. That way, when they did this anyway, they could pretend they didn’t technically ignore her advice.

So instead they had the presiding officer invent a new rule in the spot.

What’s going nuclear? That’s when you have the presiding officer follow the rules of the Senate and then have the body of the Senate vote that the rule was misapplied, thus creating a new precedent to change the rules.

What if the presiding officer chooses to ignore the rules and just assert different rules? Well, then you have to follow what they say, unless you have sufficient votes to appeal that ruling.

tldr: The presiding officer of the Senate (usually the Vice President) can just do WHATEVER, the same goes for the Senate itself, as long as they have the majority of the votes.

I just went for a drink with a friend, he is a mainstream individual who doesn't follow politics a lot and usually doesn't want to discuss politics. He is mainly a "we need to kick the crazies out on all sides and just be reasonable" guy.

Anyway, he very casually said that Israel needs to be nuked lmao.

LMAO remember the 'Forward party'?

Andrew Yang says he's been in touch with Elon Musk and his team as the tech mogul moves to create a third party to upend America’s political system.

 

This is rarely mentioned. Because of its design, Starship can't just go to the Moon, it first requires orbital refueling (from other Starships). NASA estimates they would need at least 15, but that was before the Starship payload capacity was downgraded.

 

She wants to debase herself in order to embrace genocidal monsters and then get nothing in return anyway!

Edmonton police and the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service are treating a Waffen SS monument as a protected “war memorial” in their charges against journalist Duncan Kinney.

Maybe Harris is more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.

Kamala is Athena. She did everything right in this campaign… She cannot be faulted, criticized, or analyzed for even one more second.

 

He is the Dem nominee running against Hawley. His profile says: "Marine vet, arms control negotiator, antitrust advocate, real populist".

"The work we (US) have done has resulted in Israeli actions that were very much prompted by and a result of US advocacy for what needs to happen in the region."

This is completely the opposite of what she is supposed to say, she is saying that Israel is not uncontrollable, but is following US orders.

 

TBH, that is just a mainstream centrist position now.
