That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Remember, when they say "job cuts due to AI" what they mean is sacking workers to keep the books balanced and Wall St. happy while they blow billions more chasing AI hopes and dreams.
