@sentdefender Should jump to enforcing a no fly zone x km from the borders. And actually make good on the threat.

People dumping on AI slop dont know how to use said slop. I can literally plan the restoration of my granddad's 1965 C10 Stepside without spending thousands of dollars and later realizing that I dont like the look.

And Jimmy/Blazer the way it should have been done...

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

Random lunchbreak thought: what if @GM gave @GMC a reason to exist as a premium truck and overland builder and created vehicles with a mission and personality? Like, the Yukon competes with the Defender and Land Cruiser, not as a Tahoe with chrome and rich corinthian leather.

@pjaicomo He claims Lee is a genius based entirely on his pre war record like graduating West Point 2nd in his class. Ignores that he lost as many battles as he won (which is like 4).

Claims slavery wasn't an issue despite the first 4 Confederate states explicitly declaring it so.

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@pjaicomo Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of Walsh's ads on this, and his history is selective, lost cause revisionist, and generally bad.

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@mungowitz @iam_elias1 The argument is: companies replace workers, people stop spending, companies replace more workers, repeat forever.

That only works if demand never recovers anywhere and nothing new gets created. Historically, that’s not what happens. Markets adjust.

But the paper does have math!

@Osinttechnical Government blocked the merger to protect ULCC routes.

ULCC dies without merger.

Nice going Feds.

@pjaicomo Shipley thinks he makes good faith arguments.

That got a good laugh from me.

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@maddog301 @alegalnerd @pjaicomo @shipwreckedcrew Shipley did not answer him. He dodged, pivoted and ran away.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Former federal prosecutor finds himself writing hysterical and absurd Trump fan fiction in order to come up with a possible justification for Comey's arrest.

[Patrick Jaicomo @pjaicomo]

@shipwreckedcrew Anyone with an even rudimentary understanding of the First Amendment can confidently say this is a weak case. It is doomed.

There’s no secret evidence that could justify the claims in the indictment.

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@alegalnerd He quote tweets to control the narrative and dodge direct questions. Respond the same way so you don’t feed his thread. He usually stops engaging anyway once the argument tightens, he runs out of road, or he pivots himself into a contradiction.

@alegalnerd @shipwreckedcrew Shipley:

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@alegalnerd @shipwreckedcrew Silence is doing a lot of legal work here...

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@alegalnerd @DanielRAlonso X doesn't reward smart or deep legal takes. His bread and butter is dumb pro-Trump content and quickly dumping on critics before retreating to his supporters for cover. Sounding authoritative and confidently wrong is what MAGA and X prefers.

@realstewpeters Fire Doug! We need competent leadership at DoD

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@sentdefender Fire Doug!

@CARandDRIVER I asked ChatGPT: what are the odds GM screws this up like the Blazer?

GPT gave it 60% chance 🤣.

[Patrick @PatrickRGibbons]

@reason Might be a 4th violation, too, if he just pushed her down and arrested her without declaring she committed a crime and that she was being detained, but that might not be the full clip.

Think of the children is not a legal justification for arresting satirical political protest.
