Absolutely right.

AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Let me illustrate …
Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

The lesson ever after seems to have been, whether Gingrich or McConnell or Chief Justice Roberts, to put party over country going forward. They're not a party that rewards ethicality or virtue any longer.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

1) There was no cease fire
2) The Epstein files will not be released
3) The “Warrior Dividend” is just the asshole putting his name on Congressional appropriations
4) The tariffs are taxes on us, paid by us
5) Venezuela is not sending fentanyl to our shores, and its oilfield were never ours

Over 500 pages *COMPLETELY* blacked out.

This is justice? No, this is bullshit.

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Spencer Kuvin, attorney for Epstein survivors:

“The fact that the government is not releasing all information only reaffirms the need for FOIA litigation. There is absolutely no reason that the Dept. of Justice has not reviewed this material for release in the last 18 years”

It’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s still the Department of Defense.
And it’s still the Kennedy Center.

And they will remain as such long after that orange fucking idiot is gone.

Y'know, when you think about it, Trump really is creating jobs. Seriously. Just imagine how many people for how many years it will take to clean up his mess.

I realize there are more earthshaking issues than decor.

BUT if the next POTUS wants to get the healing started, s/he will have all of Trump's mortifyingly tasteless crap off the walls before the oath is finished.

Plenty of volunteers, I'm sure.
