It's a bit like whack a mole.

I get that and agree. So what happens if say China "sells" the app and algorithms to someone like Musk, who wants it and is a de facto member of the incoming administration. Are there any guardrails in the legislation to prevent them from using our "right to free speech" against us? Big Brother is out there on both sides. I guess we just need to pick our own poison

1893 Americans overthrow Hawaiian monarchy..

Trump will overturn it Monday and the Chinese will sell it to Musk by the end of the week

Tangerines taste better.

2016 was a combination of 8 years of Democratic control of the White House, hatred of Hillary Clinton for a number of reasons (including sexism), Clinton's ineptness on the campaign trail, over confidence among the average mainline Democratic voter, and a large dose of "I hate all the candidates" (which probably played a role in 2024 as well). There are still a large group of people in this country who will not vote for a woman or a person of color. Trump is a special circumstance. He played a role on TV that people bought into and many went no deeper than that.

There were a lot of "moderate republicans" who were sick of his (Trump's) tactics after the first four years of DJT. COVID played a major role as well. Unfortunately Americans tend to keep their heads buried in the sand, and are fickle

It's a bit apples and oranges and the data is from 2008, but... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2323087/ That's not counting those who may have insurance and are stuck on transplant waiting lists or worse get "fired" by their doctors for asking too many questions.

I guess some things haven't changed in 250 years

JB's taking his last couple of days off. Probably because the SC is dragging its feet on Tic-Toc as well. Put it in Musk's boy's hands https://bsky.app/profile/nbcnews.com/post/3lfvblotsf22i

In other words if you are a mainline Republican, you are now pond scum

I thought Donnie T hated dogs, why does he let these ankle biters stay at his Florida Hideout

From History.com And thus a new industry began.... Incidentally, if you study the history of the Ambassador Bridge, Prohibition and the increase of traffic played a significant role in the need for construction of the crossing. One wonders whether any of the backers of American Transit Company (Builder and original owner of the bridge)had any connection with rum runners.

I hope he gets a seat in the FRONT ROW

Spent most of my 14-16 year old Summers working for my dad cutting other folks lawns. Since OSHA laws frowned on folks my age using power tools most of the job consisted of pulling weeds and raking lawns. This is before the profession became a decent money maker, it also fueled my feelings that kids should not work for their parents.

Keep flashing back to Anwar Sadat after the Camp David agreement...

I temporally forgot they moved to Vegas several years ago. When you see reports of interest in Sheldon White and Ben Johnson you have to wonder. White spent time in the Lions front office before heading to Pittsburgh. There could be a connection.

You would think with Musk in charge (gotta get something for his $$$) he'd be pushing Teslas, all other brands might get tariffed. It might still reduce gas prices but play havoc with the drill baby drill promise

Maybe he should have asked his buddy Clarence
