I travelled to the US some weeks ago and was anxious but everything turned out ok. I'm happy I don't have to go back any time soon.

#123why are common people paying for the incompetence of a gvt. to not be political this lies at the heart of principles, morals, meritocracy values that the current gvt lacks & things that drove america forward.
The federal government hasn't passed a budget because the Democrats are blocking it. They feel it's worth the political gamble to cause Americans pain and that it'll turn on Trump.
There you go - mystery solved.

#124Would the current state of affairs qualify for cancelling the mid-terms? Is that overly cynical? Not in the US, not a US citizen or voter. My suspicion is the answer is "no, but it is not a given that a competent supreme court which looks likely to overturn the WH exists, if they say they want to do this"

They technically have: https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/iran-fires-missiles-remot...
NATO says they can't confirm this Israeli claim: https://aje.news/ohi6b8?update=4425189 And Iran denies it as well: https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2035477318055985648 Makes you wonder who really did launch those missiles?

As soon as they felt like denying it would be better for them they did and took down https://en.mehrnews.com/ where it was published. Unless you say mehr was defaced and the news were planted by Mossad

I worked in the Pentagon for 10 years, and got my beak wet with neural nets there very early, back when we were using Playstation 3s for their GPUs. I was staunchly against the Iraq war, but even when Bush was president I didn't let it compromise my patriotism.

It seems like about 20% of people judge the actions of a us administration independent of their partisan positions. I am recently joined and cannot claim it is from any virtue on my part. A backlash against an attempted autocratic takeover is a common starting point for successful ones by an opposing party. Leftist autocratic coups are only slightly rarer than rightist ones. We are in the middle of an attempted rightist one, but that doesn't mean we are safe if we remove them.
