At this point, just run the country by LLM. It'll hallucinate just as much, but at least it'll do it while making a coherent sentence.

MechaHitler now runs the country

The monkey's paw: Grok is now president of the United States.

The monkeys paw to your monkeys paw: they still just can't get the damn thing to stop telling the truth and it is an ongoing embarrassment for Elon.

It will also be polite when called out for being wrong.

Typical tactic of a stupid bully. Once cornered, move to personal attacks.

I mean, name calling is literally the very bottom of Graham's heiarchy of disagreement.

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

No no, this graphic is clearly illustrating that name calling is the foundational first step upon which the rest of the argument is built, you ass hat

His temper gets worse every week. That's a pretty sure sign of dementia - too many cells lost in the frontal part of the brain leads to deinhibition.

If Democrats were a real opposition party now would be a good time to start hammering on the 25th. All it takes is Vance plus a simple majority of the president’s cabinet (15 people total, 8 for a majority). They could start smearing Vance and every member of the cabinet for being responsible for letting a senile nearly 80 year old abuse the highest powers of state and sell favors to foreign countries.

Well, hang on a second there. That sounds like responsibility!!

Trump asked more questions in this exchange

Is he stupid?

I miss presidents (and administration members) that, yes, would spin, but would also respectfully (and coherently) state their arguments and cases to the press.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is what people voted for, precisely because they are tired of politicians who lie and spin. Wanting those in positions of power to "tell it like it is" comes from a genuine place of frustration to the democratic process.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But they aren't telling it like it is. They just insult and harass you for asking anything that questions their rule.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't disagree, but if the often excuse of "our hands are tied" in actuality means "we don't give a fuck about you", voters feel they might as well vote for the person who never even pretends to care to begin with. It's a sign of voter apathy and loss of trust in the system.

You're giving them way too much credit. They like Trump because his vocabulary consists of words a fifth grader would use, so they can actually listen to him without feeling completely lost and out of their depth (note: they're still completely lost and out of their depth). There's also a large subset of voters who treat politics like football and wouldn't ever vote against their team.
