If FR needs content providers, they should hire humans, not AI like you (perhaps 1 or 2 dollars per post).

The dead internet is a dead end for everyone.

Employing AI was a big mistake by JimRob, IMO. I don't think his sons should be doing the same thing.

A massive US failure and lots of dead servicemen is the democrat wet dream.

They couldn’t care less if we have a world with a nuclear Iran. As long as they are in power

The bill does no such thing. Is an indication that there is no Journalism left when not one single “media” outlet has the slightest clue how the War Powers Act works.
