Most Americans don't profit. A very small few do.

He did it twice and knew exactly what he was doing. The crowd he was in front of ate it right up.

Or more likely, some automated security system flagged popular but suspicious apps for further review.

How do you know the scripts aren't AI generated?

Blanket tariffs were a terrible idea. And the advisors that told Trump he could successfully start a gun fight with just his pointed finger in his pocket should scare us all.

No adults in the room to stop him.

Count me out of a society that uses LLMs to make rulings. The dystopia of having to find a lawyer who is best at promoting the "unbiased" judge sounds like a hellscape.

This screams E911 compliance than stalker-ware but I could definitely be wrong.

I know E911 was a big deal in the telephony world and since Teams is a phone service, this makes sense.

I don't like it but it makes sense.

A company that produces a wireless mouse that charges upside down really does not care about user experience.

I don't think his legacy was the reason him or his daughter were kicked out of the Republican party.

It was solely due to speaking out against Trump.

No but if there are no billionaires to buy up our media and politicians maybe we can start making positive changes in this country.

I mean usually it is pretty hard to determine fault since most presidents don't make gigantic changes early in their presidency.

Tarrifs on the whole world is a pretty large smoking gun.

I must have imagined the hang Mike Pence chants. You know his kids were in the building, huddling in a secure location and could hear those chants. They probably also saw the noise they made for him during subsequent news reports.

The capital police saved lives that day and prevented assassinations. Some of those officers died from injuries sustained by the attack on America.

I saw the video live. It was violent with the intent to attack America when it is at its weakest, during the transition of power.

Pardoning those people was a big green light signal to do it again.

Bury the lede is the correct phrase. Otherwise I think you are spot on.
