“Think like a fourth grade boy in early ‘60’s who is a spoiled brat.”
Simple “solutions”: a small country laughs, bomb them. A business refuses to comply? Seize it, ruin it. People hungry? Give surplus cheese like Reagan. Etc etc

So I watched this commercial out of a desire to rubberneck and the thing I thought was that as much as the AI sucked, the idea for the commercial was terrible in the first place.
This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated

The Senate is expected to vote TODAY on potential extensions for ACA subsidies.
If the credits expire, millions will see premiums skyrocket, and 4 million will lose coverage.
GOP leaders need to stop playing games with our health care and vote for a clean extension NOW.

They want to force Boasberg into trial because he’d have to appoint a prosecutor and SCOTUS will probably take the power to appoint a judicial prosecutor away.
DOJ makes it clear: If Judge Boasberg wants to pursue a contempt case against Kristi Noem, he's going to have to pierce privileged conversations she had with Blanche, Bove and DHS lawyers – something DOJ says shoudl only happen at a trial. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
