    At least now we know that Trump is the best president ever, with George Washington a distant second.

    My wife is a near-perfect mimic. It's uncanny...

    A few days ago I was playing with ChatGPT directing it to make a phone
    app; it hasn't worked yet, but...

    Anyway I was in one room and she was in another and I half jokingly
    mentioned aloud:

    "There. Now I wonder if this code will compile."

    From the other room, in a voice a lot like Trump, in diction and
    cadence, I heard:

    "Of course it'll compile! It's beautiful, beautiful code!"

    Trump: Now run it.
    Programmer: But Mr. Trump, it's not compiling!
    Trump: I don't care, I said run it!
    Programmer: But...
    Trump: You're fired!

    Imagine laughing at *that*.

    Trump is claiming to be the best of the American presidents. That is funny.

    It's cartoonish evil laughter, no?

    Why?

    Funny indeed. It is sad, but Trump is the stupidest Putin's
    cocksucker ever. He has transformed USA into a fucking
    disgusting hellhole and the pace of this change has been
    very rapid indeed. I always respected USA as a strong
    supporter of Western Values, but look at USA now...

    Fucking hell, what a shithole country!

    It seems that Trump's stupidity is limitless. I used to
    somewhat respect Elon Musk for his space-related
    efforts, but now that he is on the Trump band-wagon,
    it seems like Musk is actually quite stupid and evil,
    too.

    When Trump won the election, I never thought he would
    destroy the core values of USA. Such a pathetic moron.

    So core value of the USA was what, waging a war against Russia?

    But Trump said in his campaign that he'd stop that war and voters approved of him.

    It means voters themselves denounced their core values.

    And there's nothing you can do about it.

    Hahahaha

    why not> the 50 States and Fed?They should at least follow the laws or change them, and particularly the constitution. Once the winds change all that law-breaking you cheer on now will likely be used in the other direction.



    Interestingly when Russia changes law and constitution to allow Putin to run again, you cry it's something bad and that it should not happen, apparently Russia should permanently have same laws and constitution?

    On top of that, for example British head of state is born into that position and their top guy (prime minister) same as leader of Germany can serve indefinitely no term limits, yet Russia should impose term limits for their head of state and top guy.


    Give me a break.

    controlled, for a while.

    I may make you a quasi Libertarian yet, ha ha.

    The dialogues with you force me to re-evaluate libertarianism, and this
    is always good to periodically review things.

    As an ideal system, it really appeals to me. The problem I found with it
    long ago is that to work for *you* the individual libertarian, the vast
    bulk of the society must also adopt these same values (that would be
    fine), but at this point a sizable portion does not, and some even
    probably sneer at the idea of being cooperatively self-reliant.

    I am a libertarian in my own life and personal dealings, but I don't think the government should
    be that way. We are a society. Some things are individual but some are community. I don't believe
    in a nanny state but I don't want to defund the police, either. Taxes should not be eliminated. The roads
    must be maintained.

    So in the situation we're in--and in my opinion it won't change >substantially--if you are a libertarian in a modern administrative
    society you are playing by a higher set of rules while maybe 40% of the >others do not, and are supported in this approach by official government >policy. You will end up paying into the system for *all* benefits but
    really only expect a few, bypassing many freebies, which are too
    distasteful to take. Many will not be available to you, by means testing
    or other identity testing. But you'll still pay, and most of the
    recipients won't.

    I understand this distaste, but over the long haul, the libertarian is
    bled out by the system, so the way I see it, I'm stuck here, it's not
    what I want, but I *do* hold my nose and take some stuff, like SS and >Medicare. I would take more stuff--simply to get my money's worth--but I >already have better stuff and want better stuff than they hand out for free.


    Not sure if I want the
    entire Fed "disassembled and a new one rebuilt to replace it" but a
    total house cleaning is in order.

    Yes, and in my opinion it would never in a million years reform itself
    even if instructed to by the highest authority. It has to have a hard
    reset, like now.

    Remains to be seen how well the
    current administration handles it - but I love that they are at least
    tackling it.

    This may be a cyclical chore.

    Lots of financial firms, manufacturing companies, retail businesses, and
    etc have to be audited by a third party at least annually; why not the
    50 States and Fed?

    For the same reason that DOGE is now required: they have no
    accountability and there is no way to make it happen, short of reboot
    from the outside.

    The reboot, and no DEI and trans nonsense, are the best things so far,
    and if the 2017 tax law becomes permanent, that's all I'd want. No need

    But he does whatever Trump tells him to do.

    Compare that to Biden who was being told where to walk by his advisors who were unelected.


    If you can't tell the difference, well.

    convincing me he's not a narcissist.Maybe, but he's playing a dangerous game. He took a HUGE gamble with all of his court cases prior to the election and had success. But he stayed out of big trouble mostly due to corruption, eg. particularly Cannon (
    seriously, that case was open and shut, don't let MAGA idiots fool you), and the SCOTUS obvious stalling tactics. In my opinion this made him over-confident with gambling. And now he's gambling with OUR futures. It seems very likely that if some
    country calls his bluff at some point he may be forced to start a war or show weakness. Which do you think he'll pick? Sometimes it's better to just not put yourself in that position.



    Dude, your senile puppet has started a war and you're now *worried* Trump might stop it?

    I may make you a quasi Libertarian yet, ha ha.

    The dialogues with you force me to re-evaluate libertarianism, and this
    is always good to periodically review things.

    As an ideal system, it really appeals to me. The problem I found with it
    long ago is that to work for *you* the individual libertarian, the vast
    bulk of the society must also adopt these same values (that would be
    fine), but at this point a sizable portion does not, and some even
    probably sneer at the idea of being cooperatively self-reliant.

    I am a libertarian in my own life and personal dealings, but I don't think the government should
    be that way. We are a society. Some things are individual but some are community. I don't believe
    in a nanny state but I don't want to defund the police, either. Taxes should not be eliminated. The roads
    must be maintained.

    I agree with both of you. Solid points. For me, the biggest reason why I
    vote Libertarian is their views on privacy, personal freedoms, the
    Constitution and most importantly on the national debt.

    If a Libertarian was elected, I wouldn't fear that they would shut down
    all roads, but would instead let the States take over. Just like the
    States would with other federal domestic agencies.

    particularly the constitution. Once the winds change all that
    law-breaking you cheer on now will likely be used in the other
    direction.



    Interestingly when Russia changes law and constitution to allow
    Putin to run again, you cry it's something bad and that it
    should not happen, apparently Russia should permanently have
    same laws and constitution?

    Well wouldn't you agree that changing the law is better than just
    brazenly breaking it like MAGA wants?

    Real elections, which Putin has ended in Russia, would also help.

    Sure, why not? But Musk is like the fox auditing the henhouse.

    Who or Whom would you pair with Musk to make DOGE more objective to you?

    Warren Buffett or Bill Gates, maybe.

    I could go along with a group like the CNBC's "Squawk Box" team.

    I don't know what that is. But not Elon, terrible choice.

    Imagine laughing at *that*.

    It's cartoonish evil laughter, no?

    No. It's called "derision". Derision at Trump's lack of awareness
    about his own government.

    It's like a show written and directed to further brainwash those that have no brains.

    At least now we know that Trump is the best president ever, with George Washington a distant second.

    He's certainly the most venal.

    Should be 10 now with a cookie. Oh wait :)

    I thought he gave a great speech. Of course I know he can't pull off
    half the things he thinks he can. The Swamp will resist all the way.

    He has no issue having the richest person on the planet getting
    into the government spending details and putting his hands on
    confidential data and he enjoys being in an electric car sold by
    this guy but then he has problems with a cookie :)

    Nope, I'm more of a GM and Ford type of guy.

    Squawk Box is a great show about daily financial treads. Runs Monday
    through Friday 6-9 am Eastern time on CNBC. Three hosts; one a liberal,
    one a conservative, and Becky who seems very centered. They can agree to
    not agree. I watch it every morning.

    Just a few weeks ago you were virtue signaling you don't watch any "mainstream media".  lol

    Squawk Box is the one exception.
