I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

No, i said Trump and his admin shut it down with lower approval ratings than are present for the abolishment of ICE right now.

I want Congressional Dems to shut down ICE.
January 21, 2026 at 4:13 AM
No, i want them to legally shutter the agency. Where are you seeing illegal action here? It was created by Congress, i want it ended by Congress.
January 21, 2026 at 4:02 AM
Awww fine.

Its not authoritarian to want my government to represent my interests, by demolishing agencies that are inimical to both my fellow citizens safety and welfare.

I am sorry for the name calling, but i do not appreciate being called an authoritarian for an opinion you do not share.

No dipshit read it again. This time sound out the hard words.

Dawg im not sure how to tell you this, but Trump didn't do it by executive order. He used the fucking government.

And yes, abolishing deeply unpopular secret police forces is how we should handle things.
January 21, 2026 at 3:54 AM
Yo demolishing USAID wasn't even close to that popular, genius.

This is so dumb.

Seems like a fairly basic thing to ask about it and clarify that experience.

Yes but again, he is not a dual citizen - there is no universal service requirement. He's not being cagey; he's implying bias based on his Jewish heritage rather than his historical actions.
Like say someone did service in a foreign military and was being vetted as a running mate.
January 20, 2026 at 8:52 PM
That's not what he did though?

Also, i would be careful about assert divided loyalty of Jewish Americans - i dont think you are doing so intentionally, but it has been a common anti-Semitic line of attack.
January 20, 2026 at 8:06 PM
This right here is the thing Shapiro likely took exception to.

There's a difference between cultural heritage and values, and doing volunteer work for a foreign military - and he takes umbrage at that judgement. Therefore it must be the others that are doing something wrong.

It is to prevent AI datasets from scraping their content?

To be clear blocking the functionality sounds really dumb to me too.

Get out of here with this "oh ho, so odd you can see a difference in how these two politicians messages"

This is so bad. Wow. Mamdani's mayoral campaign rocketed to national attention when Mamdani did this:

"I dont understand - I put in content, where's my growth, reach, and influence?"

Doesn't that seem a bit off, even to you?

Then, someone else needs to also be able to review that code, and confirm it does what i claim it does.

Like you said, someone has to own that code. Its not all that different from tech debt in a way - losing a staff engineer pokes holes in a teams knowledge of a mature platform.
January 19, 2026 at 10:26 PM
I dunno, no one i know is shunting vibe coded stuff to production.

But that does speak to your earlier point - the actual work part of vibe coding is in the code review process. Like when i generate code with AI, i have to know what that code is and how it works.

They saw the Eastwood film and it added the group's name to their lexicon.
January 19, 2026 at 9:05 PM
I dunno, I think those grumbles and whines are a good thing.

That's signal that their less aware social circles will pick up. Whine away!

Maybe they will figure out the Trump fork they are sticking in the government outlet is causing them discomfort.

Just pop into his mentions, they're not hard to spot.
January 18, 2026 at 9:00 PM
I mean, they did send 4 whole-ass reporters to that bar in rural Minnesota to get their POV on ICE actions in Minneapolis...

Wait

They contribute payroll taxes, unless its like fully under the table.
