      I find America today to be very relevant to the whole problem surrounding the Ring from LOTR.

      The Ring gives a very particular variant of superpower. While it does enhance what you already have, it also gives you power over others. It’s a very useful power - rather than convince someone to do what you want, you can use the Ring to make them do it. And they’ll love it! This power is so useful, in fact, that it’s hard to give up. Someone else could use it for evil, so you obviously need to keep the Ring on your finger, right? Only YOU know how to fix the country, because everyone else would be a moron or evil otherwise.

      If the Ring existed in real life, someone could use it to raise an army, overthrow Citizens United, and institute true democracy. Or a dictatorship, because idiots caused Citizens United to be formed in the first place, and they can’t be allowed to do that again. Right?

      Trump looks like a Ringbearer who let the power go to his head. And the lesser Rings are held by the people in Congress and the SCOTUS.

        I mean, Trump is known for a love of gold objects, maybe he bought some old antique ring at some point? And it is a miracle that he’s lived for long as he has, considering his diet and lifestyle…

      I teach in high school and most students are amazed at how bad living in the US looks from the outside.

      Student debt, medical debt, car-centric city planning etc etc

      I’m not sure when exactly it was generated, but they missed out on having Trump in his baseball hat for the receiving of remains.

        Yeah.

        I don’t really know much about producing AI video but I do know that with generative AI complex scenes or layouts can be extraordinarily difficult to achieve.

        Like you can do “soldiers carrying a coffin with a flag on it” and you can do “trump standing in a baseball cap” but putting the two together with trump in the background can be very difficult.

          You just edit the AI video. You don’t need an AI to do the editing.

        I actually couldn’t see the video in the linked article. Maybe my ad blocker got it.

    Yeah, they’re right. The Iranian government is by no means benevolent, but the US and Israeli governments are just straight-up murderers, no nuance to be had.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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.
