That's exactly my point--Al Capone was imprisoned because of tax evasion instead of one of his much more serious crimes, but he *was* imprisoned

The UK has been a bit better about dealing with pedos since the backlash from how poorly their authorities handled the Jimmy Savile situation.

godspeed, the world is depending on you

Let's drop bombs on Idaho because Des Moines is a boring capital city. Buckeye losers

You know why the UK arrested Prince Andrew and Peter Mendelson? Not for abusing children but because they didn't follow the rules. Fuckin' process.

Y'all think that politics and governance are the same thing.

I'm saying the real world isn't a fucking episode of Survivor

They had one common goal: not let the most dangerous man to ever run for pres win. That doesn't make it an alliance on anything other than that. It should have been an indicator of how serious it was & y'all still decided to play w/fire

You continue to not respond to what I'm saying so I'm going to give up after this.

Citing AI is essentially saying "the internet said so."

You can do better than that and I've told you how if you would actually read what I wrote. It's very easy to do and will make you a better researcher.

Okay, you've told us how to lose. Can you provide any advice on how to win and some concrete examples of your approach consistently working in toss-up districts in the USA?

If "the base" skedaddles then its definitively not the base

I'm sure that Trump and MAGA appreciate your support

You aren't responding to what I'm saying, though.

If I'm writing a report I may use AI to find relevant papers, but I still need to verify those papers, and when I make a citation, it'll be those papers, not AI.

In this case, AI would reference International Humanitarian Law, so cite that.

AI is absolutely useful as a reference tool, but that's just it--AI is a tool, not the reference itself.

AI is essentially the equivalent of a Guy Who Spends a Lot of Time on the Internet. Sometimes that guy is wrong and you've got to check his sources, so don't cite the guy, cite the sources.

Did you ask AI if you are using it correctly?

But you are correct, there's a right way and a wrong way to use AI. You may be using it right, but you're attributing the result wrong. You still need to check the original source.

AI doesn't verify anything, it just checks to see what's available in the dataset it has been trained on. Faulty data sources = faulty conclusion. You have to check the source that whatever AI

Wikipedia is a better source than AI because you can easily check its sources.

Is that a thing? I'm certainly more familiar with voters constantly judging each other for differences between their own particular and entirely inflexible ideological positions.

The one thing the Left is incredibly consistent about is judging voters, it's both our superpower and our curse

I'm pretty sure he feels the same about the live ones

You are correct but citing AI is a terrible strategy if you want to appear believable

There's a right way and a wrong way to cite your sources and AI is squarely in the "wrong" category

Depends on how you're defining "we"

"Well I'm the one that's getting the briefings"

Any teacher will tell you that the kids who go on to become doctors have to sit through most of the same classes as the kids who go on to get arrested for stealing copper to pay for meth. There's only so much you can do with a wrong 'un like Luna.

I'm sure I'm right, I'm just not sure about how much damage he'll cause in the process. While I'm very optimistic about how things will turn out, I also think it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better

Brett Ratner has never directed an interesting movie

FYI I think all professional sports are fucking stupid and don't give a shit about the Seahawks owner but I'm sure that Trump appreciates you trying to make his boy Kraft look not as bad in comparison.

Of course there won't be a peaceful transfer of power, but there will be a transfer of power. This nation elected an incompetent child rapist as president and he surrounded himself with fascists, we can't be surprised that bad things are happening and will continue to happen.

I think he'll try to do everything you suggested and I think he'll fail to do everything you suggested.

Not me. I'll take my anti-gun principles to the grave if I have to. I will not perpetuate the greatest sin committed against humanity ever enshrined in a founding document.

But if comes to civil war, call me General Sherman for all the fire I will rain down upon those rural cousinfuckers.

Who is the guy handing out straws supposed to represent? Susan Collins?

And that they should be ostracized from society regardless of their job, just as a reasonable precaution

They're so fucking stupid that they think their identities will be forever protected by a god damn neck gaiter. They aren't being paid in cash, their identities will be easy enough to uncover, and ostracization will be the absolute best they can hope for after what they've willingly done.

"We" didn't think that, but you should be embarrassed for thinking "we" did.

I wouldn't piss on Jennings if he were on fire, but I might if he weren't
