It took 139 days before Trump turned the military on his own people. I wonder what is left of US democracy by the time of the midterm elections next year. I doubt free and fair elections are on the agenda for this regime. image
So… the ICE agents? image
I still remember the good old days where “Battle: Los Angeles” was a sci-fi movie and the president was a black man who wanted constructive dialogue. Now the US is run by a wannabe dictator who always seeks confrontation, and battle Los Angeles is the violent conflict he has deliberately stirred up with a city of 4 million people. Insane.
Situations where Trump wants to call up the national guard: A. When 2000 rioters attack the capital on Jan 6, threatening democracy: Let's NOT do it. B. When 1000 protesters (some of them rioters), confront ICE in Los Angeles, 3692 km away from DC, not threatening democracy: Let's do it!
I edit my videos using Davinci Resolve, which I really love to use. But the new version comes with AI voice modeling, which can be used to record anyone's voice and then create new audio that sounds exactly like them speaking — what ever you want them to say. I have no use for this feature, but I can see a million problems this tool can create. Democratic elections interfered with, police investigations mislead, fake audio used to get someone fired, etc. These are truly dangerous times.
Everyone who works with Trump start out thinking they can get something out of the collaboration, but end up losing instead. Michael Cohen ended up in jail. Steve Bannon ended up in jail. Rudi Giuliani is in financial ruin. Even the guy who spent USD 277 million to get Trump elected, ended up destroying his own business and getting fired by Trump.
“We have decided in America, that innovation or money excuses depravity.” Scott Galloway tears Elon Musk to tiny pieces. It is at 24:00 in this video:
Today is D-day. 86 years ago allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy to stop the Nazis. After Hitler had attacked Europe for 1740 days, the Allies had finally had enough, and with overwhelming force they drove evil all the way back to the Führerbunker in Berlin. Let us not wait 1740 days to free Ukraine.
In Russia, normally car sales are up in May, but this year car sales have dropped 27.5 percent year-over-year. Something is not well with the russian economy.
The two worst Americans are fighting each other — this weekend will be awesome. 🍿 image
