    The first paragraph says it all:



    The future of American "democracy" hangs upon the outcome of an election.

    The President had a "concerning" performance last week.

    AI should be used to lie to the American electorate about the fitness of the President of the United States.



    The current ecosystem is indeed fucked up, but the "debate" was an unedited non-"deceptively-clipped" 90 minutes of Joe Biden being Joe Biden. No 'cheapfakes," just video of the President of the United States demonstrating to the whole world that he cannot be the Leader of the Free World. And these pieces of media shit have no problem with creating an AI Joe Biden to prevent us from knowing what we need to know.

    The Media are the worst problem here, and AI will be their tool.

    I know it's just The Weather, but right here in Wichita Falls on July 5, it is 67F.
    Same here up north, 85 degrees yesterday and low 70s today. 40s tonight.

    Typical Michigan summer, ya never know what you'll get!

    But climate change though! 50 years ago it was the next ice age that was going to kill us all!

    I've asked before; is it better or worse for average temperature to go up or down by 1-3 degrees, for whatever reason.

    Aren't we humans capable of adapting to what can't be controlled? I'm pretty sure we are.

    Better question: Are we humans capable of adapting to that which is not occurring?

    Mark if you were married you would know how to answer that question. If I go shopping with the Mrs what is not occurring is saving time.

    Let me ask y'allllll a question, coming from NH....

    I think the real importance of Trumpism has been rescuing conservatism/right wing politics from Southern bullshit. When the Establishment talks about manners, keeping up appearances, decency (all anti-Trump talking points ... yet the Establishment presides over a cesspit of corruption) - how is this not a direct indictment/repudiation of the Southern ethic?

    In other words: the public Southern gentlemen/private Southern snake IS the old-guard RNC, and the Southern charm/ethic has been key to the swindle. Do you agree or disagree? And is it fair to lump in TX with The South? Because I find that we have much in common with TX. I see TX as wholly distinct.... A great example of this is Nikki Haley: how she shills for the military industrial machine in SC, but "sells it" with a level of charm.

    From Ishmael (No, Not Dead!) in [Market-Ticker-Nad]

    I'm glad that this blog got posted. There's definitely an undercurrent of prepping as an alternative to actually facing the world. This will be very unpopular around these parts, but "prepping for the collapse" is larping. You cannot have an independent existence and live a life beyond what a middle age peasant lived. And even those people had large communities. Human being cannot live and thrive independently outside of extremely rare circumstances. The Libertarian mindset is self defeating. (I haven't listened to the Auron Macintyre episode yet so if I'm repeating what he says/said that's not deliberate)

    George Orwell, 1984

    We're here now at this point...

    Do the sheep outnumber the patriots? I don't think so.

    The state media and useful idiots are trying to paint a picture of conspiracy for anyone who notices the lies and gaslighting and speaks out about it.

    I think it shows how afraid they are of constitutional patriots.

    God in Heaven.

    I’m not sure what was worse, the Nuremberg Regime or the Reconstruction Regime. In terms of brain rot it’s a damned close race.

    I've never been to Texas. Listening to SS pod, and generally following state politics, I think NH has way more in common with TX than MA/NY/VT shitlibs.

    Where's the brain rot. That's a pretty objective dimension of Trump's populism: conservatism w/ a northeast urban bent that's more information > faith (Protestant) based. Even though the North/South relationship is complicated (e.g., Steve Bannon, who's from VA).
