Hakeem and Chuck joint statement: we will find a way to be even more limp, facile and impotent a time, place and manner of our choosing
“Give us a chance to give [Trump] a way out of this that comes to the right ending. … I don’t know if that’s possible.” - @durbin.senate.gov to Danes in Europe.
Can the Senate Dems sound any more limp, facile and impotent to Europeans across the Atlantic?

![Punchbowl screenshot
“COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A bipartisan group of lawmakers who traveled here on an urgent mission to reassure Danish leaders amid President Donald Trump’s escalating threats to acquire Greenland had a straightforward message.
In an interview between high-level meetings, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin summed it up this way: “Give us a chance to give [Trump] a way out of this that comes to the right ending.”
Durbin added: “I don’t know if that’s possible.”
The four-decade veteran of Congress, who’s been on dozens of CODELs, wasn’t just referring to Trump’s apparent determination to take over the Danish territory at all costs, or Republicans’ hesitation to openly defy him. Durbin was giving a sobering assessment of Congress as a supposedly coequal branch of government.
Over the span of several decades and under the leadership of both parties, lawmakers have ceded their authority to the executive branch on everything from war powers to tariffs to the power of the purse. Hill leaders have prioritized avoiding politically difficult votes or been slow to react – or done nothing – as presidents repeatedly pushed the limits of their own power at the expense of Congress.
“It’s not just this moment or this president,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who co-led the delegation. “What makes this moment so hard is, if Congress can’t stand up in the face of something where there is no strategic value and lots of strategic harm…is Congress really willing to exert its authority at all?”
That’s what made this particular CODEL so uniquely difficult — and surreal.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cf26plxwia7dxpm6plry3sj2/bafkreibjseyx4567lbf33ldoqqe66czitqhdzl7ppsi4s3swrfyo6dtwsu@jpeg)

Seeing alot of people complaining about Sophie Turner's "Lara Croft" costume test.
Fucking Gooners are trying to ruin everything because she hasn't got beachballs in her vest, not realising that the original Lara body was based on a real person (Rhona Mitra), but polygons were 'clumsy' at the time.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Examples from Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans here, using AI closed captions on Crunchyroll. Both of these shows have previously aired on terrestrial broadcast television, meaning the FCC may be interested in taking action on these specifically at least.

So the latest US talking point about the UK is that we now arrest people for Social Media posts, because WE'RE the ones living in an Orwellian state.
For reference, this is the kind of 'Social Media' post that will get you in trouble.
Especially when the incident that 'inspired you' was false.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.
