Once we're too stupid to know how to solve anything, we become dependent upon the computer supermind for everything.15 Sep 2026 01:21 +0000at://did:plc:4pplfeigw362a44ttvn3ger6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvjhjrqgdk2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/trc487.bsky.social/post/3mvjh4ug2722oRepublicans WANTED Trump to seize Venezuela's oil industry. They lied with Trump to start the war with Iran for the same reason that they lied with W to start the war in Iraq: To take over their oil industries. There were no WMDs in Iraq, and the nukes are in North Korea, not Iran.15 Sep 2026 01:14 +0000at://did:plc:4pplfeigw362a44ttvn3ger6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvjh4ug2722ohttps://bsky.app/profile/trc487.bsky.social/post/3mvihfj7i2k2yWhy would Vance say America is dirtier and poorer?

We will lose our ability to learn how to solve problems on our own.

Manchin and Sinema thwarted a lot of Democratic legislation, and Fetterman surely intends to try too before he's gone.10 Sep 2026 02:33 +0000at://did:plc:4pplfeigw362a44ttvn3ger6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv4z74srvc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/trc487.bsky.social/post/3mv2csdihbk2cUpton Sinclair's novel perfectly summarized the kind of government Trump and the MAGA Republicans want to bring back from its collapse that caused the Great Depression of the 1930s: "The Jungle" puts all the horrors of greed and corruption on the table.

After that, make ICE patrol the borders, and allow a strict quota for legal immigration going forward. All the 'criminals' are the ones sneaking across borders. No one else.05 Sep 2026 03:00 +0000at://did:plc:4pplfeigw362a44ttvn3ger6/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqiefxlc22u
