Trump works for Moscow, he has since the 1980s.
The chips will be sold on by China to russia to improve their drones so they can more effectively target Ukrainian hospitals and kindergartens.

So along with being stupid with tariffs which put a lot of USA businesses out of business, Trump is now allowing them to have chips which will make it easier to use against us!

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.
These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.
The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

Remember, part of Trump's National Security Strategy is to have "A resilient national infrastructure."
This is what Crash Duffy is doing rather than making the US flight network more robust.

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.
