"Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders...Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity." Exactly right.

Truly vile behavior from this President, and we all have to call it out for what it is: dangerous and un-American rhetoric from a man who wants to be king.

Venezuela had better batten down the hatches. Between the Epstein files, quiet piggy, calling for the execution of sitting members of Congress and impeachment rumblings, Trump is going to need one helluva misdirect. ¡Suerte Venezuela!

I was deployed to Somalia, Panama, Desert Storm, Serbia, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan and other primo vacation spots. Even in combat zones we had to have 100% positive ID before any engagement. 100%. We make mistakes, yes, did we try to prevent the same mistakes? Yes. There’s a whole book about it.

Love seeing older articles, pre-Trump/MAGA that shed light on today’s events. When journalists were still reporting and not filtering or being filtered.
So start with the wrongheaded delusional people who think oppressing women, being cruel to the poor, blaming victims of violent crimes is God's Will Nature Taking its course & anyone who disagrees is a COMMIE!

USA's fault, which got pushed further by Heritage Foundation.

This is a good article, and touches on something AI supporters miss: human cognition is rooted in our meat. While an airplane doesn't need to flap its wings to fly, human thinking takes, well, humans - our specific meat. Other kinds of 'thinking'? The article covers that pretty well.
