Holy hell man, get a grip.

Rubio has been pushing a false narrative of his family's history for a long time.

The extremity of the current administration's actions should not be ignored just because others did some things in a similar direction.

"Yawn, same shit different day" is how we sleepwalk ourselves into fascism.

The LLM does not understand itself in any way.

People love to put a lot of meaning on what an LLM responds with when asked why it made a mistake, but it's critical to remember that the answer to that prompt is just another series of probabilistic tokens, and has no actual relation to how the error happened.

I still believe better things are possible. You've given up, or given in.

That is a corrupt world view and you do not care about the rule of law.

I find this phrasing choice interesting.

Of course there will always be people who break the law. There are always people who are going to attempt to do things they're not supposed to do for a variety of reasons.

Rule of law is about consistent application of the law. Laws that aren't consistently applied are just words on paper.

It seems to me that what you actually intended to say is "there will always be people who break the law and get away with it due to their wealth and status."

And yes, there will probably always be some degree of that too. But in a society that claims to follow the rule of law, the goal should always be to minimize the inconsistent application of the law. Part of that is challenging these events when we see them. Like the extreme corruption of the Trump administration versus every president that came before, including his own first term.

Treating an increase of corruption as inevitable is not, in my opinion, valuing the rule of law. It's at best a half-hearted "whatcha gonna do?" shrug-off.

The president is creating a slush fund to pay off people who acted violently on his behalf.

The president has declared himself and his family immune from IRS investigation indefinitely.

The president is selling pardons.

The president is running influence schemes in the form of crypto sales and ballroom "donations".

The president is at a minimum enabling the people who are playing the markets (traditional and these new prediction atrocities) in advance of his on again / off again announcements about Iran, tariffs, etc. It's not out of the question that he approves of the activity and/or receives benefits himself.

The president uses mob tactics. Tariffs and DoJ threats are used to run protection rackets. Play along, pay up, and you can make your problems go away. For a bit. They'll be back later and they'll want more.

We are drowning in corruption.

And now that we are living in a lawless nation, we will all get to see how bad an idea that is.
