His campaign staff are rank amateurs, not ready for the big leagues. The primary job for any presidential campaign staff is to put your candidate in the best possible situations. You have to ensure that major events like a kickoff announcement go off without a hitch. The whole thing should have been worked out in advance. Any sliver of a doubt about the set up means scratch it and go with an alternative plan.

Now, it could've been possible that DeSantis insisted on doing this above the objections of his staff, but that shows that he has no faith in his staff or that his staff has no way to influence him. If that is true, then that means that he's going to run a national campaign against Trump pretty much by himself which is just more disasters waiting to happen.

We can safely assume that there are no Jim Bakers or James Carvilles or David Axlerods or David Plouffes or Jen O'Malley Dillons around him.

The excuses from his fanboys over that terrible episode with the DeSantis launch are laughable. It's not bleeding edge tech here. It's fairly standard tech that has to be planned out and scaled. Twitch and YouTube do it every day all over the world. For Twitter to break down like that shows that he's not the tech genius that the biased corporate media wants us to believe.

Maybe without those govt. subsidies, he is this

I do all of the time. I wish that I had majored in computer science and art history. I really regret not majoring in either.

Too slow human. Gotta be faster than that.

Since Chat GPT, and other applications like it, are here to stay. Here's my proposal for higher academia to leverage the technology. (No, I didn't ask Chat GPT for help.)

1. Assign an essay or a research paper.

2. Read the papers into a university's own AI tool.

3. Assign a personalized in-class exam based on the student's paper submitted in step 1. The exam would be a series of questions asking the student to further explain and expound on points made in the submitted paper.

This would force the student to demonstrate that they understand and know the material. If they cannot answer questions based on their own submitted papers, then it's an automatic fail.

Migrants are coming here because there's work for them. Plenty of work in agriculture and meat packing especially. They're being lured here by employers.

Hatred of migrant workers is being used politically by the Republicans to win favor with White working class voters, but notice not a one of them are calling for criminal sanctions against employers who hire these migrants. Not a one.

I just want one journalist to ask a Republican if they want to criminally charge employers and sanction them for hiring migrants. Instead of pandering to the Republican base. Do your job as journalists and ask them this question.

This country runs on undocumented, migrant workers. Without them, our economy would collapse. There would literally not be any food on the shelves at the grocery store. The entire travel and leisure industry would collapse.

and stock each store with only their licensed shows and movies. There wasn't a Disney video store and Paramount store and a Warner Brothers store...etc.

All the studios licensed their movies to Blockbuster, Tower, or some other random video store. You could visit one or two stores and find what you needed.

I think that the rush to each studio starting their own streaming service was a mistake.

In 2020-21, the Democratic party under Biden's leadership re-took the White House and maintained control of the House and Senate. Additionally, the Democrats edge ever so slowly towards traditional Social Democratic policies such as the additional stimulus checks, child tax credits, the Build Back Better program, and limited cancellation of student loan debt which was later blocked by the SCOTUS. These policies scare America's oligarch class. The US is the only developed nation on the planet with the, comparatively, lowest taxes and regulations schemes on the planet. These oligarchs do not want us to emulate the taxes and regulations of nations like Canada or Norway or Japan.

They're more afraid of the Democrats turning towards more progressive economic policies than they are about Trump and the Republican party's complete disdain for our democracy and our democratic institutions. The gave a platform to a leader who prodded his followers to violently over take the US Capitol.
