It's worse than blackmail because Trump promised nothing in return. Give us money and we will defend Ukraine was reasonable. Zelensky originally agreed when he thought that meant Trump would defend Ukraine.

Instead Trump wants Ukraine to completely surrender and then pay him to surrender.

It's not that weird of a position. Penn and Teller did a show on it based on the then believed data that vaccines cause autism. (Which has now long since been discredited.)

They showed the statistics of dying/paralysis/etc were far greater than the chance of autism. So in their opinion, even if vaccines caused autism ( the debunked paper showed a tiny percent chance) , it was still safer to take the vaccine.

Even if it wasn't autism, there is a tiny chance your child can have a dangerous reaction to a vaccine. I was nervous with my children but had it done anyway. My son had a minor reaction to the Polio shot and lost the ability to walk for a couple of days.

It's not a statement of net worth. It's a statement that she isn't completely ignorant of what she is talking about.

If a teacher in school corrected your mistake and you said, "Who are you to correct my obvious math error." , the teacher could list her jobs in math and national awards for being a math teacher.

Brad asked for her qualifications. She gave them.

You'd be insane after asking for qualifications to reply , "Well I don't brag about my awards."

Have you "Written Policy"? Has Brad? How about your high school teacher who explained why you were wrong on a test? Did you also tell her, "You're not an engineer."

I think a huge problem is that a significant part of the population has poor long term memory. I saw interviews before the election where they asked voters and the ones who were pro Trump always talked about how he was a good businessman. They had completely forgotten that 4 years earlier they had to fight for toilet paper under Trump. A friend said before the election, "Biden was the worst President ever." "Did you forget that you had no toilet paper?" "Oh, yeah."

No memory.

China had a long history of fraudulent science that they need to dig out of to gain a good reputation.

Plastic Straws. Plastic cups. Wrapping indvidual food items in plastic and then putting them in a larger plastic bag which you carry home in an even larger plastic bag.

So you think Germany is not a eu member? Members of the EU including, but not limited to Germany and Hungary, sent troops to Afghanistan. You were wrong to say no EU members sent troops to Afghanistan.

"once Ukraine falls". Russia will eventually take all of Ukraine if not stopped.

Shockingly a huge chunk of all human knowledge can be distilled to under 700GB (deep seek r1).

All of written history. All famous plays, books, math, physics, computer languages. It all fits in under 700GB.

You don't really need a top of the line GPU. Waiting a minute for an answer is fine.
