Dissenter #1 - Justice Clarence Thomas
Trump now benefits from Thomas’s dissent in another controversial case—immigration under the Alien Enemies Act.
This is what many legal ethicists and political historians would call the gray zone of influence.

“Committed” and “massive” do a lot of heavy lifting here. Many plants predate him or rely on bipartisan incentives.

That’s not how trade works. Not doing business doesn’t “save” money—it just means lost exports, higher prices, and supply chain headaches. A trade deficit isn’t a bill; it’s a measure of exchange. Trump’s math is campaign math, not economic math.

You’re right—But some gave it without knowing. My parents never logged on, never scrolled. Fox still moved in. Influence doesn’t need permission—just presence. So yes, stop feeding it, but don’t forget who’s already been fed.

Sure, personal responsibility matters—that’s obvious. But stopping there misses the point. We need to look at how the system profits off young people’s limited options and poor guidance. That’s the deeper issue worth critiquing.

The bigger issue isn’t kids needing budgeting classes — and your right to point that out — but, it’s a rigged system that traps young people with inescapable debt while lenders and colleges profit. Critique the exploiters, not just the exploited.

Restarting student loan payments will hit low-income Americans the hardest. Those earning under $25K could lose up to 90% of their spending money, while higher earners lose much less. This could hurt local economies and widen financial gaps.

Columbus Day was never abolished. It’s a federal holiday. Some cities chose to add Indigenous Peoples’ Day alongside it. Trump’s “reinstatement” is pure theater—like throwing a parade for a ship that never sank.

Bill trying a bit too hard to stay edgy by giving Trump props. Let’s not pretend effectiveness erases the dumpster fire of consequences.

Yep—textbook Trump: big promise, no blueprint, all gamble, and a mess left for someone else to clean up.

The IRS is flawed, but replacing it with a buzzword and no plan is fiscal chaos dressed as patriotism.

Imagine being so fragile that Big Bird feels like a threat. Defunding NPR and PBS won’t fix your image, Don—it just proves you’re scared of facts read calmly and in full sentences.

If a law firm folds under political pressure, how can clients trust it to stand firm for them? Willkie Farr didn’t just compromise its reputation—it broadcast its price.

Influence isn’t destroyed by criticism—
it’s revealed by how you handle it. Loud reactions don’t prove the world’s against you. They prove the weight of your ego.

We’ll be left with a pile of broken laws and a cover-up so cartoonish it makes Wile E. Coyote look like a master tactician.

When allies start warning their citizens about visiting the U.S., maybe it’s time we look in the mirror. Guns, rights rollbacks, and border chaos aren’t just local problems—they’re global headlines. 28.3% of the US know it, 29.2% are the problem, and 41% are too fucking lazy.

Judge: “Save those Signal chats!”
Feds: delete messages like a 15-year-old slamming the laptop shut when mom walks in.
Signal’s privacy is so tight, even mom couldn’t find the browser history.
Unless someone screenshotted, it’s all just red faces and wiped evidence.

You’re likely right. Especially considering who he is—insecure and trying to impress.

Could an AI have been used to polish or brainstorm parts of it? Possibly. But the voice and rhythm lean strongly human. So if AI touched it at all, its role was minor.

This is likely a human-written strategic memo or internal note. If AI generated it, it was heavily edited or prompted to mimic terse, real-world military or diplomatic language.
It’s more likely that it’s fully human-written or human-drafted with minimal AI assistance, rather than a true mix.

Prioritization format (e.g., numbered lists with short phrases) is typical of human briefing notes or emails.
Emotional tone is subtly embedded (“we look indecisive,” “we are prepared to execute”), which AIs typically soften or neutralize unless prompted.

Contextual urgency and subjective framing (“Biden failed,” “we look indecisive,” “we don’t get to start this on our own terms”) sound like real-time strategic thinking, possibly in a policy or military setting.

ChatGPT Response:
This text appears human-written, not AI-generated. Here’s the analysis:
Human-like traits:
Fragmented thoughts and incomplete sentences (“Brut.” or the cutoff after “which Biden”) suggest natural human drafting or notes.

Autism rates have risen due to better awareness, broader diagnostic criteria, and improved screening—not a mystery cause. The “1 in 20,000” stat is inaccurate; historical data was limited and underdiagnosed.

Trump sounds like he’s describing a hostage negotiation with imaginary law firms. “Where do I sign?” Yo, Dipshit, this isn’t a timeshare pitch—it’s just another word salad with extra dressing and zero receipts.

If true, that’s not just reckless—it’s a flashing red siren. Ordering DoD staff to bypass infosec protocols to install Signal reeks of backchannel ops, shadow comms, and potential criminal exposure. National security isn’t a group chat—it’s the firewall.

If Elon were behind this Signal mess, he’d be holed up in a server room right now, frantically smashing delete buttons.

This was relayed by Rep. Frederica Wilson, who was with the family. Trump denied saying it, but Sgt. Johnson’s widow later confirmed it, saying it upset her deeply.

You’re referring to the 2017 ambush in Niger, where four U.S. soldiers were killed. Trump’s response sparked outrage when he reportedly told the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson:
“He knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurts.”

Suddenly vanishes from Fox like she said “climate change” three times in a row.
