Yes! There can be only one!

Elon Musk's Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire's Pee-Drinking Skills and 'Blowjob Prowess'

Now, perhaps Grok has yet to be trained to determine how much information is "too much information." On the other hand, it is Elmo the Oligarch's very own toy.

November 20, 1820 - The American Whaling Ship Essex Was Attacked and Sunk By a Sperm Whale

Herman Melville, himself a former whaling ship crewman, made a fictionalized version of this sinking central to Moby-Dick, his most famous work.

Technically, I just keep the place running.  I don't mix with the clinicians, as they are all nuts.

And, pity parties don't count.

November 18, 1973 - Richard M. Nixon Claimed He Was Not a Crook

During a question-and-answer session at Disney World (Possibly in Fantasyland), Tricky Dick stated, "People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got."

And so, having the current lying Republican POSOTUS in office adds weight to the claim that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

I've been taking a look at conservative spaces because I'm interested to see what their opinion of the last year has been like and I've come to a realisation, they are divided on a lot of issues, critical of things like the tarrifs or this 2000 rebate they are planning.
The thing is they are willing to compromise as long as some or most of their issues are addressed.

The left with its ever tightening purity tests or moral outrage instead of criticism of their own parties never stood a chance in the last election, and it won't in the next either unless it takes a mature approach to selecting and supporting a candidate

I think that maturity will have to include a change in leadership and strategy.  The DNC is led by old, out of touch, rich white people.  They can put up a relatively young, charismatic woman of color, like Harris, and still lose, because they're running the campaign completely wrong.  Zohran Mamdani is an example of the kind of campaign they need to be running if they want to actually win.

Yes exactly, I'm not surprised this is an established pattern

Truth social, r/conservative  they are all complaining about the tarrifs but saying their king is "doing well overall"

They will overlook almost any transgressions or criticise it but still give unwavering support, if they go into the next election like this it will play out the exact same as the last one

Then, perhaps you may agree with the following quotation:

"It was Bill Clinton who once pithily captured the contrast between the two parties when it came to selecting a presidential standard-bearer: "Democrats want to fall in love; Republicans just fall in line."

Your perception of 'Merica's two (2) major political parties is vastly different from mine. So, I have to ask, what "conservative spaces" are you trusting to be accurate sources of information?
