While this is no doubt true, it is a terrible signal to send after voters have a resounding permission to tear down the old corrupt system. Practically their first action after the election is to signal "business as usual".

I can smell bitter disappointment in the air as to the future.

    I understand that 10 of the 11 Dem no-shows take money from Israel's super pac, AIPAC.

    I'm happy to be corrected, but that is my understanding.

    Follow the money.

    What are you arguing? That the Dems didn't have the biggest win in the last 50 years and all the polls (even Fox) correctly predicted it?

    The only thing beyond accurate prediction was the senate, which was within the margin of error. But the house was gone months ago.

    That's my point. If money was the motivation, then take the money and own what comes next. It's the utter shame that's puzzling. Take Mitch McConnell. His motivation is power and money. He did disgustingly unfair things in Congress every single working day. After which he went home and slept like a baby. No shame there.

    But this woman, like McConnell, did something nasty, possibly for money, possibly for revenge for losing, and has a sense of shame about it. Hence the hiding. What's the point? The day after was always going to land. Own your nasty mess or don't engage in it.

    Exactly, and that's the reason the entire country flipped. Not wars, not support for Israel, not abortion rights, nor even all those Nazis dragging brown people into busses without cause. It was because of the price of diesel and all the cost increases stemming from that.

    I'm sorry, but AI generally remains "bad" until regulation takes place, community concerns about data centres are properly considered and protections are put in place. Right now, billionaires and corporations are running amok and that usually doesn't end well.

    This comment doesn't even make sense in the context? The danger lies in unethical use. It's also unregulated.

    Don't forget, there was a very brief time period when Google was ethical. How long did that last?
