I accidentally deleted the old post, but I still blame Garland.

Right there with you.

The courts are so fucked.

Little known fact, you can get a jury to decide sentence, not just guilt or innocence. I was on one such jury.

Maybe juries should decide all sentences.

Easier to nullify a bullshit judgement too.
Call it a check and balance.

That's what I said.

Someone needs to ask, "You're the Speaker of the House and second in line to the presidency, are you really this misinformed? Do your people not brief you?"

Lies.

He lies. Non stop.

Brian Smith @theactualbrian.bsky.social · 35m

He's fully aware.

That's why he has that shit eating grin every time he tells blatant lies.

Brian Smith @theactualbrian.bsky.social · 38m

Some as old as 40.

"Boys will be boys" is a great way to get people to just laugh it off, but yeah, they're up to 40 and not just men, but their cult has their narrative to repeat now.

Like the one who raped a woman who was passed out behind a dumpster and the judge just couldn't send him to jail because it would ruin such a promising future. 🙄

Yep. Age range is 18-40.

Not that it matters. Youth doesn't excuse being a complete asshole when you think no one is looking.

Brian Smith @theactualbrian.bsky.social · 50m

To qualify for this group, "Young" Republicans, you have to be between 18-40.

40. Boys.

Yeah, so they're men, not all young, and yeah, you DEFINITELY should be paying attention to what they say and do when they think no one is watching!!!

That's cute. A wrench will do the same thing, every time, because physics.

The way you parrot off these typical, "AI"defenses isn't unlike a chat bot or a troll farm.

Are you a bot, or just at their level?

You get word salad every time, you're just allowing yourself to be fooled into thinking that it's not.

It's not educated. It can't discuss.
It's not a summary. There's zero intelligence behind it.

If you had the smallest inkling of what it actually does, you'd feel ashamed at trusting it.

These are the young Republicans.
18-40

But let's talk about how Democrats need to "tone down the rhetoric" when we call people who want to send political opponents to gas chamber "Nazis."

It's just word salad that's likely to resemble information.

Brian Smith @theactualbrian.bsky.social · 5h

Sorry, but that's wrong.

Even if you get technically correct output, it doesn't give you back actual information.

It creates something based on statistically likely, typical responses with a bit of random variance.

That doesn't qualify as information.

Of course they will.

Voting is something conservatives don't want.
