Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

All those blood transfusions and his daily routine don't seem to be stopping the inevitability of aging.
It would be real cool if he and Elon tried some experimental gene therapy and became tumor riddem monsters like Ted Faro did in Horizon Zero Dawn.
Now there's a dystopia that seems less and leas far-fetched: an autonomous AI military drone swarm capable of self replication and using biomass as fuel goes rogue and starts devouring all life on Earth. They went rogue because of the hubris of the world's first trillionaire removimg their safeguards.
Combine that with the Fallout games' Vault-Tec, the company that became largest in the world by selling vaults to protect people from nuclear war, being the ones that start the nuclear war so they can use vaults as captive laboratories for social experiments.
Alongside Mike Judge, one or both of those stories could some day be seen as prohecy.
Thiel has dirt on everyone. Thiel has direct access to the location and driving desires of everyone in America, a huge slab of Europe, and loads of other countries. Trump was the last thing he needed. Even if "america wakes up" their bureaucracy won't be functional enough for the people to stop him.
Trump will be allowed to spread his Mordor fertilizer for as long as he can live. After that, Thiel is going to do worse things to the world than any human in history. He is wealthy, connected, intelligent, and evil to the bone. He wants, with all his heart, to be Sauron.
Every major government, except maybe China, has a palantir node full of their citizens data, that they can access and use information from to manipulate individuals and the population. There are also palantir servers that are fed all military information, to synthesize and suggest future actions. There are drone swarms everywhere, connected to AI systems through palantir.
I guarantee you that somewhere Thiel has a server called "the one ring".
The 'functional meth-head' look.

His face is legit melting off
