The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Wow.

Poor editing and excessive navel-gazing are the two biggest culprits.

NEW: In a series of tests, NBC News was able to generate hundreds of responses with instructions on how to create homemade explosives, maximize human suffering with chemical agents, create napalm, disguise a biological weapon and build a nuclear bomb.

ChatGPT safety systems can be bypassed to get weapons instructions

NBC News found that OpenAI’s models repeatedly provided answers on making chemical and biological weapons.

What? The former lawyer for Andrew Tate who also would tweet out glowing praise for Andrew Tate... is reported to have done an extremely creepy thing regarding a woman?

How surprising.

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

“Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him..”

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

It was going to be a tough play to make regardless. They were running on contact. I hope he realizes that.

Paves the way for the Monster Under the Bed Act

RepMTG:

The Sunshine State is getting it RIGHT! 🌞

Florida is shutting down dangerous weather modification and geoengineering schemes because our skies belong to the people, not globalist elites and their experiments.

Now it’s time to do the same nationwide. My Clear Skies Act will END chemical spraying, geoengineering, and weather manipulation across America for good.

No more tampering. No more lies. Just clear, God-given skies! 🇺🇸☀️

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Very cool. Jack is my all time fave. I was sorting through some old books recently and came across a Nicholson bio from years ago and was thinking that it would great if someone wrote a proper chronicle of his life; very happy it's you. Is he going to participate?

Agreed with all of it. There’s a cynical undercurrent to some of the shows from the Kurtzman era as well, though nothing quite as overt as STID.

He's so cognitively garbled that I can't guess what he means at the end, when he says freedom of speech "is always something I felt strongly about, but it never passed the courts."

At this point, it's important for Democratic politicians to raise questions about his brain function every single day.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."
