Maybe Trump will open his own chain of theaters - or simply rename an existing one, like he did with the Kennedy Center - patrolled by the National Guard (or ICE, or the Marines, ...) with the kicker being that those agents will have to buy tickets too. Cha-Ching! /s

Looks like this administration, and its rich/corporate supporters, are looking to train up people and test out technologies on the public's dime then hire those they like best. Another graft from the Dear Leader and his billionaire friends? /cynical

MAGA is an ever decreasing circle of those arbitrarily deemed "MAGA enough" with people (usually permanently) excluded for even the slightest digression, though Indulgences can be purchased at the (new) White House MAGA gift shop.

Who could also be impeached, then the current Speaker of the House would become President. Not really sure that would be a good course for the political mood of the country as a whole.

Better that the MAGA crowd have to suffer through the consequences of their votes to (hopefully) learn a lesson about electing a greedy, pathologically lying, narcissistic, racist, etc... sociopath who really only actually cares about himself and a little for those who pray and pay before him. I'll give people a bit of a pass for giving Trump the benefit of doubt during his first run for office but, seriously, it's not like there wasn't any evidence Trump was like this, especially during/after his first term. Granted, perhaps many politicians have some of those characteristics, but few, if any, others have them all like our Dear Leader. That he's pretty checked-out during this second term and happy to let his minions pursue their own horrible agendas is pretty bad though. This is a tough lesson the the country.

Or listen to Trump himself -- or use "Trump Math" so he can bring down drug prices 500%, 1200% ...

(So much stupid, and/or willful ignorance. *sigh*)

That doesn't bode well for his penis. :-)

This includes Putin ...

This is short sighted, of course, as climate will affect businesses and a lack of research and understanding will ultimately hurt those businesses, and the rich people, because they'll have less information for long-term planning and operations. But hey, they'll get rich over the next quarters or so, so fuck that. /s And, of course *they'll* be rich enough to move ...

Quash, not refute - interesting.

Judging from movies, AIs will also come with a Kill Switch - that completely disables all humans.

Were you a crackhead who was also an engineer or did you engineer crackheads?
'Cause that seems more ambiguous than, say, electrical engineer. :-)

And didn't doge - I mean, dodge - accountability and responsibility.

Exactly. TFS and TFA state the following:

Which is misleading as products aren't being pushed on Europe, or previously the U.S., people are buying/importing the stuff.

No wonder they haven't cave to Trump's lawsuits about their Epstein articles. :-)

More to the point, if one is interested in who/what won what award - for some reason - it's easier to simply wait until the next day and read an article about it online somewhere. Same goes for any performances that may be entertaining. Why waste X hours watching either linear or streaming, especially if it contains commercials/ads. Personally, while I can see a point for the actual awards - it's nice to be recognized by your peers for your efforts - I can't really see a point to a (live) show about them. Same goes for all the other award shows. /$0.02
