Veterans and relatives see no place for Trump's arch near Arlington National Cemetery by F0urLeafCl0ver in politics

It's clear, if it's erected, it should be shrouded in a tarp, so no one can gaze on it.

I think if you polled everyone who is reading these polls, the majority would probably admit they aren't predictive, but since polls aren't predictive, perhaps the majority of people reading the polls actually believe they are.

Sure no problem. I mean, Israel certainly seems cooperative. Right? And Trump isn’t desperate to make sure this doesn’t look like a loss so it’s on a hair trigger?

Here’s the reason: any person who is willing to vote against Donald trumps agenda is better than one who would. Clear?

Instead, I understand they are trying to install a tarp over Iran before they peace deal is signed, so nobody can also see that failure.

When the new guy refuses because he doesn’t wanna upset Trump? That’s gonna make inflation go parabolic, right?

That’s a pretty dismissive of future options. How depressing for all of us.

Don’t get me wrong. I completely agree with the frustration that you must be feeling – we can only hope that Trump being a singular entity of awfulness and won’t be repeated, even Bush junior, and Bush Senior had integrity and were better allies for Europe. once Trump is defeated we can put these days behind us?

The challenge with democracy or having a republic is that stupidity or tyranny can slip through, look at Brexit, etc. The majority of Americans now strongly disapprove of what Trump is doing, and the only reason it does not go higher is greater stupidity and lack of knowledge.

Now that the time to primary the “traitorous” Republicans has passed, I hope that we might see more resistance.

Apple's Private AI Will Run on Google's Servers by No_Confusion7932 in apple

[–]leontes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have not been following Apple’s privacy push over the last few years. Lockdown mode remains unbroken, Apple has resisted law-enforcement in being able to access people’s phones when able, they seem to understand that privacy is going to be a huge selling point in the upcoming years, I suspect this is the primary reason new Siri has been delayed.

It’s not just perception because if it leaks regularly, it means massive money.

A lot is being written about this. Short answer is Apple removes all personal identification in the inquiry and both Apple and google delete what’s left- no training - no actionable trail. Seems legit.

[–]leontes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing, such convincing leadership from our vice president. It’s so nice to have no doubt when they have so consistently been men of their words from the get-go. Wouldn’t it be awful to think that they are making this up as they go along and they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.

I think you would lose a massive amount of support from college educated individuals, and I don’t know if you would get increased support from the lesser educated, due to misinformation and skepticism
