A "facility" is not a "base".
My theory - Qatari pilots are mainly sons of oil sheiks. They're probably going to build a luxury living quarters where they can have servants, sex partners, sports cars and whatever else rich princes want handy while they're practicing flying fighter jets.

Yes, and... this article of yours - my hypothesis is that the tech companies see AI as another market wherein network effects will lead to "winner take all" market dominance for a few companies, therefore they're spending like crazy to win the lead position. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Apparently so do people.

Most MAGA know about the lies and don't care. Winning power, tormenting liberals and feeling self-righteous are their motivators, not Truth.

The 2000 presidential election vote count in Florida was hacked by Republicans to make Bush the winner, right?

Reminder that the Steele dossier was originally funded & researched by Republican "oppo" researchers, not Dems. The Dem party got it second-hand.
Also, Trump's own family talked to the press about their Russian funding sources for his business ventures, so there was ample "probable cause".

Retributive justice isn't how our legal system is supposed to work. It is a corruption of the rule of law. It is fascism. youtu.be/j8v9fP5YC6A

I read up on this - maybe not as bad as it sounds.
- The buyer already runs a company that makes voter roll systems and is said to comply with best practices for data integrity.
- Dominion had already lost a lot of customers.
- The "paper ballot" initiative could just be marketing hype.

"I don't know" translation into honest person language:
"I avoided letting anyone show me the video so I can say that I don't know."

Bondi was boldly contemptuous of the entire proceeding and aggressively disrespectful toward the Democratic senators.
You can't have effective government when the Executive branch shows utter contempt and derision towards the foundational processes of democracy.

Context? Why did he say that? Is she a vax denier and he was making a point about children dying from not being vaxed?

THAT IS NOT WHAT JONES'S TEXT MEANT!
It was an old joke where the setup and punchline involving shooting a bad guy. Dark, yeah. Inappropriate, probably, but that's HUMOR, it makes you Uncomfortable, right? Hollywood violence is our national culture, joking about killing is quite normal for MAGA.

Yes, and... I'm mostly offended by his intentional, relentless hacking away at the Constitution and breaking of laws. He's trying to turn citizens into subjects of his monarchy with no rights that he respects.
