Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

When Israel ‘accidentally’ releases Epstein’svideo of Trump r@ping an underage girl, he will say the exact same thing

I fucking knew this was gonna happen. This massive push for AI data centers was never about anything else. Its a giant propaganda tool.

Agreed, but why censor that word?

Engagement bait

"Trump says" should always, always be read as "the following has NO semblance of truth, but it makes the baby feel better."

Honestly, did anyone really expect the crazy push for AI would lead to anything else?

Many children were murdered that day.

The US doesn't even care about its own children. Death by firearm killed over two thousand children becoming the number one killer of children surpassing vehicle deaths in the US and fucking crickets.

‘No way to prevent this,’ says only nation where this regularly happens

Trump's existence could just be part of a nightmare I'm currently having due to eating too much cheese, but I don't think the world is that lucky.

(You replied to the wrong thing, just FYI)

I Really wish folks would write "USA Says" or maybe "USA President Says" instead of "Trump Says".

One day, Trump's going to be out of office, and I KNOW the Republican Party and wider USA federal government is going to try to write everything of the last 18 months off with "oh yeah that was Trump haha what a fool" just like they did with George W. Bush.

If the USA's PR folks get their wish, everything we're going through will be relegated to a few paragraphs in some history book; and if folks buy that narrative, we will be doomed to repeat this cycle Again, and Again. Eisenhower into Nixon into Reagan into Clinton into Bush into Dubya into Trump and Biden and Trump again...
