That's how democracy works in Europe: the courts are part of the checks and ballances, politicians have to be transparent about campaign financing so that we hopefully don't get Uncle Adolph running the show again, needing Allied

> why is the NYPD investigating trademark infringement? They were infridging the trademarks of a former European state that made territorial demands against other countries and put people in concentration camps without due process.

Absolutely nothing. Trump instigated people to storm the Capitol, took classified documents home if I remember well and there were zero consequences. I'd argue South Korea or Peru are more democratic countries because they've actu

Sorry I meant golf buddy Wiktoff, not Waltz. Dunno about Waltz, seems like he is himself quite puzzled about how Goldberg ended up in the group, denied any connection with him and called the Atlantic journalist 'scum'. He also spo

Hanlon's razor begs to differ. Trump sent his golf buddy Waltz to negotiate with Putin and he came back brainwashed with Russian propaganda. Russian psyops is either really good or some of these people in the administration are just

If it wasn't silly apartheid kid psychos like Elon or Peter Thiel could run for president. But fortunately they can't because of those silly requirements. Unfortunately that's not enough to stop psychos that can actually

I had an Audi A3 2013. Arguably it had the best physical controls. VW group also did not reinvent the UI with every new model, they prefer to boringly replicate it and have the same location for controls over their different brands. This al

Dunno about the parents in Brno or Wroclaw. I read an article on DW with age metrics of the recent election. Guess what demographic voted the for AfD and Die Linke? < 45. Unfortunately this is the new opposition, nazis and commies. http

I find it kind of useless due to the no politics and I usually quickly lose my patience with it. Same with DeepSeek. Meanwhile you can have a decent conversation with Mistral, Claude, pi.ai and other LLMs. Even Chat GPT, although the patron

That was during Hu's tenure which was quite different than what it is today. Still, their natural impulse is to cover up facts.

Trump is trying to bully everyone into submission and when that fails, hit them with tariffs and sanctions. It's what he did during his first mandate when he invited his "very good friend" Xi at his Mar-a-Lago estate. When a
