In the absence of coherent thinking and policy…. We seem to be in major trouble. Trump may be a vindictive weasel, but at least he is OUR vindictive weasel.

Many fundamental and important issues going way back and with long-term consequences for US and the global. But that does not make it a short-term “emergency” to grant emergency powers, especially in the hands of Trump, who knows nothing about technology. We need coherent thinking and policy.

IP distribution just from the Mag 7. It is far and away the most valuable portion of the US economy and attention is unquestionably the most valuable commodity that exists today. China doesn't let the US play in that space at all and all of the Eurocucks have adopted anti free speech policies that have destroyed the reach and economics of these crown jewel companies.
If you think the Eurocucks neutering US algos to manufacture consent for a caliphate to eventually take control of Europe and gain access to US military hardware isn't a national security concern or emergency then I got a bridge to sell ya. Many people have demonstrably low ability to foresee long term consequences of current actions and you, unfortunately, xir, are one of them. Previous Message
President Trump had admirably used the carrot and the stick to protect our interests.
