Based on everything they're saying insteadof calling for an investigation...they know exactly what went wrong. And it all boils down to an attempt to "upgrade an outdated system", and "we need a lot more investment, before we'll see results".
That's AI, folks. They're trying to find a way to integrate AI into the air-traffic control systems...and they fucked the whole thing up.
Joe Manchin...
“If they start with investigations, Michael, it’s over,” Manchin, who was a Democrat before becoming an independent, told CNN host Michael Smerconish last month. “They’re going to tee up everything in 2028 for a Republican takeover completely.”
Manchin urged Democrats to concentrate on legislation aimed at reducing Americans’ cost of living rather than becoming “consumed with retaliation and retribution,” arguing that an investigations-first approach could ultimately return Republicans to power in 2028.
They need to do both. It doesn't really matter if they don't try to impeach him again...they still don't have enough votes in the Senate to actually remove him from office anyway.
But, they absolutely need to investigate him, and anyone else implicated in his obvious corruption. That way, they will have already accumulated all the evidence they need to prosecute him, as soon as he's out of office.
And in the meantime, if they don't also do something to bring down the cost of living for average Americans, they aren't going to have the chance to do anything about any of it, since voters will have already turned on them by 2028.
All this, while simultaneously trying to paint the entire Iran war, as Trump's idea.
This isn't hard to understand. They were...and probably still are...expecting Trump to stay in power, indefinitely. It's no secret that all these tech-bros are mask-off fascists, and see Trump as their gateway to absolute control. The midterm results are not so much an obstacle to that, but rather just a matter of temporarily unfortunate optics.
Geese are passionate about maintaining their personal space.
Fuck these criminal assholes!
AI...at least how it's currently being deployed and marketed...is the ultimate expression of Capitalism. They are stealing the labor of others, and leasing it back to the public, for endless profit...all while destroying the environment and undermining the working class.
And then his adaptation of Dune undermined that legacy by convincing us that he didn't even bother to read the novels before making the movies.
Mulch and fertilize.
DC already sucked because of how many times they've rebooted everything. But, this...?...yeah, I'm out.
These midterms just proved that numbers are more important than money. It's not just "possible" to outvote corporate candidates, it should be considered an obligation.
They just disagree about his policy of committing those crimes.
