Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

You could do virtually anything with Basic. You could make text repeat straight down in a line or make it go diagonally. The world was your oyster!

Not really into pseudoscience. I'll stick with my magic branch that points at whatever my brain telegraphs it to find

Finally figured out why the first 24 letter-shaped sticks I found weren't pointing to anything useful!

I'm not saying this is a metaphor, but Mike is really hoping no one releases his sex app activity during the shotdown

Rest assured that despite being offered millions of dollars I will not be performing at the comedy festival on Murder Island.

That's because I wasn't invited. And it's not a real place. And I'm secretly just an incorporeal LLM.
