Hmm… Volle Kraft rückwärts ist doch derselbe Kurs wie immer bei der CDU. Ein „Kurswechsel“ wäre es, mit den Konservativen zu reden, die wirklich etwas bewahren wollen. Also mit den Grünen.

I'm like: have you been living under a rock? Have you missed the memos about the rampant *lying*, the rapacious business practices, the disregard for creators' rights, the founders' penchant for delusions of grandeur and eugenics, the skyrocketing energy costs, the drained aquifers... ?

Claude Opus 4 “engages in strategic deception more than any other frontier model that we have previously studied. The model is clearly capable of scheming. In instances where the model decides to scheme, it appears to be much more proactive in its subversion attempts…” - Oct Harper’s

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Such people clearly have no morals or values whatsoever. They do not understand the meaning of law and order and are completely unsuitable for public service, let alone law enforcement. If the US ever becomes a democracy again, it will need "denazification."
