Argentina's libertarian president Javier Milei, perhaps best known for his shotgun approach to government jobs...

Bloomberg reports that Argentina's President Javier Milei is planning to fire 70,000 government workers

... plans to fire 70,000 government workers in the coming months, in what Bloomberg called "one of the clearest signs yet of how the libertarian’s chainsaw-style approach intends to slash the swollen state."

Beyond the job cuts, Milei also boasted at an event on Tuesday that he has frozen public works, cut off some funding to provincial governments and terminated more than 200,000 social welfare plans, which he labeled as corrupt, all as part of his strategy to reach a fiscal balance at any cost this year.

A good start. Argentina's government is severely bloated.

NSF paid universities to develop AI censorship tools for social media, House report alleges

‘Used by governments and Big Tech to shape public opinion by restricting certain viewpoints or promoting others’: report

The National Science Foundation is paying universities using taxpayer money to create AI tools that can be used to censor Americans on various social media platforms, according to members of the House.

University of Michigan, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and MIT are among the universities cited in the House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government interim report.

It details the foundation’s “funding of AI-powered censorship and propaganda tools, and its repeated efforts to hide its actions and avoid political and media scrutiny.”

“NSF has been issuing multi-million-dollar grants to university and non-profit research teams” for the purpose of developing AI-powered technologies “that can be used by governments and Big Tech to shape public opinion by restricting certain viewpoints or promoting others,” states the report, released last month.

The NSF funded censorship, a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Colleges were involved, including MIT, which has a serious problem with antisemitsm.

If anyone ever asks what fascism looks like, just point them to that DU thread. You either obey the Party or the leftist gestapo will find you and destroy you. Lieberman is just the most recent Ernst Rohm who, in his own way, Lieberman spoke out against the current direction of the Party.

Why would anyone buy a Trump Bible for $60?

Probably because the translation being offered by Mike Robinson's Li'l Bitch comes with the plates of Christ stripped down to his undies on the cross "pre-spooged" on... :puke:

Sad to see DU-folk being what they are. I don't find it :popcorn: , just sad.

Very obviously the D Party moved while Lieberman stayed what he was. If he actually opposed Obama he had foresight. If he slammed Chuckles, well, Chuckles deserved it.

Joe Lieberman, 2000 vice presidential nominee, dies at 82
Source: Politico

Joe Lieberman, a longtime senator from Connecticut who became the first Jewish American to be nominated on a major party’s ticket, died Wednesday. He was 82.

Lieberman’s family stated that he died “due to complications from a fall. He was 82 years old. His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed.”

Halfway through his 24-year Senate career, Lieberman was chosen as Al Gore’s running mate for the 2000 presidential election. The ticket lost one of the closest elections in American history. “No Jew had ever sought such a lofty office,” wrote the authors of “Jews in American Politics.”

“The net effect of the nomination,” they added, “has been to change the perception of what is possible for Jewish candidates for office for all time.”

Judas hugged Lieberman today saying, "Great work you did in 2008 backing McCain instead of your own party's nominee, Obama."

Satan hugged Lieberman today saying, "Great work you did too supporting the great lie that Iraq was a threat to the US instead of pointing out the great lie about WMD."
