It's actually nothing new.

I can recall back to Nixon where the same suspects used the same type of language for him and every R afterwards. There is absolutely nothing special or different how they see or talk about Trump.

It is -exactly- the same as how they have talked about -every- Republican and conservative for 50+ years. The only thing that changes is the name.

After Trump is dead they'll use the same language for JDV or whoever had an R next to their name. The person is just a place holder for their mindless hate.

It took years for dumb western execs and politicians to send manufacturing to China.

It'll take years to bring it back.

China didn't magically just know how to build stuff. They were rice farmers. We taught them. We're not incapable of training the next generation.

Start by ending the free money for healthy job capable adults in the West. They'll find something useful to do instead of smoking out and having more government funded children.

Mine isn't multiplexed so it can't talk over CAN Bus - you know because if you flip the turn signal switch, it turns on immediately vs waiting for the body control module to graciously do its thing. Also, if you use the signal momentarily, it doesn't automatically blink 3 times - you can even use the lever to blink out patterns.

Also, I do -NOT- want my car's HVAC to be touchscreened. Good 'ol dials for me, yes SIR, none of that new fangled stuff.

I've bought Crucial upgrades for the last few laptops I've owned, both RAM and SSDs.

I used to joke around about how the AI companies wouldn't be satisfied until all resources on the planet were directly routed to them and everything else was eroding because of it. Now? Now, it's not seeming so much like a joke.

Crucial was always my go-to for RAM upgrades. I'm getting my son some upgrades for Christmas, and when I saw desktop memory prices, I was stunned. It's the same thing everywhere. "AI vendors are grabbing all the RAM they can get their hands on, dramatically driving up the price".

There is no income limit for the parents who claim these...

So? There is no income limit for opening a savings account, either.

...but there are restrictions on what it can be withdrawn for.

After age of 18, no there are not. It must be converted to an IRA, and then withdrawals can be made accordingly.

This is literally welfare for rich people.

No, this is literally a savings account.

Take your class warfare bullshit back to reddit.

Trump doesn't have the will to deploy military strength.

Syria says "Hi".

 

His actions so far have been performance theater (ie, pick on small countries in hopes that Russia and China will be afraid).

We're the United States. The world's most powerful country. Outside of Russia and China, all countries are "small".

And Russia and China... they have nukes. Attacking them means WWIII. If you think this is a good idea, by all means, run for President on your End Humanity platform.

Of course you can't flap your arms and fly to the moon. After a while you'd run out of air to push against.
