Sure. Just like Hitler offing himself; just an expression of trust in the system! "Oh no, I lost in the marketplace of ideas, time to make the ultimate concession!"

Good news!

> I’ve never said that just because you’re invoking the Nazis you’re losing the argument. If you’re going to compare somebody to Hitler or the Nazis or raise the specter of the Holocaust, be sure you’ve got your facts right. But there’s nothing categorically wrong with Biden’s — or anyone else’s — comparison of Trump calling people vermin or talking about blood poisoning to Hitler.

Trump went because House/Senate Republicans at the time hadn't yet done the 180 they have since; the support wasn't there. It has nothing to do with his faith in the democratic process.


> Trump went because...

But in the end he went. The system worked exactly like it was supposed to. There is room to challenge results, that keeps the system honest. When he lost the challenges, he willingly stepped down.

This is exactly how the system is designed to work.

I understand the visceral hatred of Trump, but I don't know why every conversation about him has to degrade the same way this one has, with people using emotional-manipulation like evoking Hitler.


He tried for a redo of the Brooks Brothers Riot in the US Capitol. He demanded the Georgia governor change their result. He recruited a slate of fake electors.

In no world was his transition of power lawful and orderly.


> But in the end he went.

Sure. Again, so did Hitler.

He went because the alternative was being dragged out by the FBI and Secret Service like a toddler having a tantrum.

Maybe if your self-described information diet included a little news and electoral coverage you wouldn't be so flat-footed by it.


On Facebook, at least, the click seems to outweigh the feedback.

I say "not interested" to a reel and get more just like it.


I get the ads about Warren Buffet’s (or other money celebrities) investment group or whatever. They are usually WhatsApp based pump and dump schemes for Chinese stocks.

Facebook somehow can’t detect these obvious scams, but somehow they have no problem pushing them to me after I looked into it when a fried almost got taken.


Exactly my experience a few years ago (it not working is directly related to how little I use Facebook today). You might stop getting stuff from that specific page or account or whatever but you certainly continue to get related stuff.

Vance also knocked off Pope Francis, and the Iran deal last night. Maybe we can send him to Moscow next.

I bet Viktor felt too uncomfortable to tell him "no please don't come stay in the USA, you are political poison"

Gosh, financial support for one of the candidates by an outsider would be horrible, right? https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1163823353301...

> My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it. We are excited to invest in the future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership! President DONALD J. TRUMP

edit: OP's post originally complained that this was Soros's fault.


Let's see Trump standing by his word and help strengthen Hungary's economy now that the Russian Stooge has lost. So much for that continued leadership.

We're just gonna pretend Jan 6 never happened, eh?

He claimed the 2020 election was stolen again yesterday.


You can steer it towards reusable components, though.

Find a run you like, and build off that.


You definitely need to filter if you use AI. Looking at all the vibe-coded creations that are showing up these days has changed my mind from "AI-generated code is bad" to "the one using the AI is doing a bad job of it".

I ended up writing a linter/validator that checks the AI-generated code for everything, including user interface style guidelines and preferences (not necessarily for hard errors)

I'd presumed this was a wordplay on Donald Trump.

correct.

There's some value to "the President can correct some wrongs". There are genuine miscarriages of justice sometimes and it's kinda nice to have a release valve for them.

The recent presidential immunity decision just made the downsides way more likely.


> So two wrongs have made a right in this case?

No, it was right to consider the possibility that Trump would violate the norms here. Letting the President right unaddressed wrongs is the entire reason the pardon power exists.

His own current Chief of Staff has similar concerns, and grand juries seem to be taking the same position; that these are just revenge.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/us/politics/trump-susie-w...

"Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, told an interviewer that she forged a “loose agreement” with Mr. Trump to stop focusing after three months on punishing antagonists, an effort that evidently did not succeed. While she insisted that Mr. Trump is not constantly thinking about retribution, she said that “when there’s an opportunity, he will go for it.”"


The only reason he’s not constantly thinking about retribution is because he spends most of the time with his brain idle, or thinking of his next grift.

Give it a bit!
