Trump: I would have won Vietnam, very quickly. I would have, if I were president. I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time…Look at Venezuela. I took it over in 45 minutes

@NewKrash @remarks No, that would be Trump. I’m not the one making ludicrous (and insulting) public claims. But then again, I hopefully have a bit more humility and self-awareness than that jackass.

@NewKrash @remarks Well, no, I was born in 1966, so I didn’t have the opportunity. But I’m also not foolishly claiming I could have ended it in 5 months LOL

@KeruboSk My great-grandmother and some of my grandmother’s older cousins and friends were born in the 1800s, and I spoke to them (and asked them questions) when I was a child.

"Why should I care about privacy? I have nothing to hide". We hear it every week. Today, the company that builds software for law enforcement by mining your medical records just published a 22-point manifesto about "freedom" and "democracy". This is why you should care.
Palantir@PalantirTech

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

I don’t know about you, but JD Vance, a heartbeat from the presidency, owing his entire political career to Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel who wants to kill democracy, trample privacy, enforce surveillance & forbid dissent - doesn’t sit well with me.

This is the most important story of the year so far. ProPublica found 75 officials in key election protection roles across federal agencies have been fired, resigned, or reassigned. They've been replaced by two dozen political appointees – 10 tried to reverse Trump's 2020 loss.

“If verified, this would represent the largest alleged self-dealing scheme by a president in the history of the United States.”
James Tate@JamesTate121

A new watchdog report from the Government Accountability Oversight Project alleges that President Donald Trump directed $3 billion in federal funds toward his own properties and political allies. The report claims this was achieved through a series of classified security agreements and no-bid contracts authorized during his final year in office. Investigators suggest that emergency national security designations allowed these properties to receive federal payments at rates significantly higher than market value. The most substantial allegation involves a $1.2 billion security agreement at Mar-a-Lago, an amount that reportedly exceeds the security budget of any private residence in U.S. history. While the Trump legal team has dismissed these findings as a partisan attack, federal investigators are currently reviewing the data. If verified, this would represent the largest alleged self-dealing scheme by a president in the history of the United States. Critics have noted that the funds in question were drawn from the national treasury, which traditionally supports essential services such as veterans' hospitals and disaster relief. While no formal charges have been filed, the scale of the alleged diverted funds has sparked intense debate over executive accountability. The Government Accountability Office has yet to issue a formal comment on the specific findings of the report.

BBC has examined trade volume data on several financial markets and matched them to some of president's most significant market-moving statements. It found a consistent pattern of spikes just hrs, or sometimes mins, before a social media post or media interview was made public.

For those keeping track: - Trump's son-in-law gets billions from the foreign governments he's negotiating with on behalf of the US. - Foreign governments spend millions staying at Trump resorts and buying Trump luxury residences. - Foreign oligarchs spend billions on real estate deals with Trump. - Trump started a crypto company for billionaires and foreign governments to funnel money through, while promoting his own cryptocurrency. - Trump's sons' new drone companies received military contracts, and they are offering them to the countries being attacked in Trump's war in Iran. - Trump's son is an advisor and investor in the betting platforms that Trump insiders have been making millions from Trump's decisions on. - Trump's pardoning his million dollar donors and their relatives. - Trump is giving himself a $10 billion taxpayer-funded settlement. ... and then there's the things that seem minor by comparison but would have ended any other presidency and likely led to years of investigations, like receiving bribes of a private jet, and various gifts and donations in exchange for tariff relief, and manipulating financial marktes. This is organized crime.

Trump’s son-in-law has received billions of dollars from the foreign governments that he’s negotiating with on behalf of the U.S. and Donald Trump. To be clear: These are bribes. This isn’t a “conflict of interest” — it’s unprecedented corruption. popular.info/p/the-media-bl…
