An interesting case study would be to review how much time cops historically have attributed to writing reports and compare that to their use of AI. If they're still claiming the same amount of time (likely), then they should be fired for committing fraud and sued for damages.

Same in Trump 1 when he almost died of covid but survived because of cutting-edge treatment most of us would never see.

They should follow the actual law, not rogue SCOTUS rulings that are mere politics. Yes, they'll be overturned, but at some point they need to just do what's right.

It's also the "contentization" of news. Headlines need to drive traffic, and so cannot be an accurate description of things because reality isn't optimized for engagement (though now that everything enrages us, maybe it *is*).

There are SO many slam dunk messages for Dems now. Promise retribution against every person responsible for the sacking of our government. Promise prosecutions, promise to release every file related to every rogue department and actor.

I'm sure many/most of these fascists go to church on Sundays. It's time for all religious leaders to speak up and denounce this shit, make it clear that every person engaged in this should be shunned by their family and community. Make them toxic.

Institutions need to push back, too.

Real Diary of Ann Frank shit here. Masked, secret police kidnapping people in the night, innocents having to hide. Absolutely reprehensible, every person responsible for this is a traitor and needs to face justice. Absolute monsters.

Tangentially, it's maddening that she says this shit while Trump and Johnson are out there saying "we don't believe federal employees should be paid". Just a bunch of anti-American traitors one and all.

Surprising consider those two names are so relevant at this moment.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social @iplayguitarbad.bsky.social · 1d

These traitors make statements like this because they are 100% convinced they will never face justice. They fully believe that the law is permanently weaponized and that they will always hold that weapon. It will be incredibly satisfying when we're through this to see them proven wrong.

Love that the WaPo pic is three of the least informed, dumbest, most arrogant pieces of shit in the country LOL. Yes, these fucking morons should be setting health and education policy, smh. What a broken country this is.

One thing that's always hilarious is that he complains about a "rigged" election when he was in charge, and when Repubs won congress. Jesus, he's literally the worst person in the country.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social @iplayguitarbad.bsky.social · 1d

This statement should result in an immediate congressional investigation about who is actually in charge, and who's issuing orders. Demand all communications be preserved and be ready for sanctions when they inevitably stonewall.

"The true spirit of America is building military bases for foreign armies." I hope Dems are inundating Idaho Repub voters' mail with flyers saying "Trump signed a deal to have your state occupied by a foreign military."

We are going to be inundated with stories about core Repub constituencies being hurt by these policies (because they're the only ones who matter), and they will continue to vote for these ghouls as they make life worse for all of us. It's national suicide and half the victims are fine with it.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social @iplayguitarbad.bsky.social · 1d

Literally no one despises Americans more than Repubs. And these morons keep voting for the very people who make their lives materially worse. Hard to feel one moment of sympathy for them until they start taking some responsibility and making better decisions.

We've had decades of Repubs whining about an absurd Dem war on Christianity, and now they're literally shooting priests as they pray.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social @iplayguitarbad.bsky.social · 1d

Dems should be making a BIG deal about this Republican war on religion (and Christianity specifically).

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social @iplayguitarbad.bsky.social · 1d

Dems should be sending postcards to every Idaho Repub voter's home saying "Donald Trump is letting a foreign army occupy your state. Is that what you voted for?" Do the same for every Repub congressperson and senator. Make their base absolutely furious that their leaders are allowing an occupation.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social @iplayguitarbad.bsky.social · 1d

Hope Dems are flooding Idaho Repub homes with post cards saying "did you vote for Trump to make your state the home of a foreign airbase? Did you vote to have your state be occupied by a foreign military?"

95% of employees have just typed into ChatGPT "write me a brief memo for a rightwing lesbian courtier laying out generic achievements for <role> at CBS News."

This is the memo someone sends when they are pretending they know what leadership looks like but are completely unprepared to handle the actual work of running a successful business (aside from position to be bought by a rich ideologue).

Repubs have really embraced using the Nat'l Guard to occupy American cities (blue cites, of course, never cities in their own states). No one despises America, our principles and freedoms, as much as elected Republicans.

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social @iplayguitarbad.bsky.social · 1d

It's kind of shocking how quickly even these Repubs have openly embraced lying and calling half the country traitors simply for exercising their rights.

Literally no one in the world despises America, and our principles and freedoms, as much as elected Repubs. Pathetic.

Gonna be crazy starting like next year when no Trump admin officials are able to travel outside the country.
