Lmao frick jannies !metashit

Merry Christmas from the politics long post man! I bought a grass award and now I'm broke, so I'm "regifiting" something I wrote for thanksgiving! Happy holidays!

The White House is full of cheesy, sweet, mostly useless traditions done for fun. The Family Christmas cards , calling kids on Christmas , and my favourite trick and treating at the White House . But there's none as cheesy as the turkey pardon, where the President is given a turkey and grants it a pardon - so that first turkey goes back to a farm to be killed later, and the President eats a second turkey that's killed earlier. A pretty strange tradition when broken down like that (though what tradition isn't when broken down), it's history is disputed. Most attribute the start of the tradition Harry Truman being sent several turkeys, but I assure you that cheap bastard didn't pardon shit. And besides that, Presidents have been gifted turkeys before then - who started pardoning turkeys? And when did it become a tradition?

The First Turkey Gift

There are rumours that Lincoln was the first man to pardon a turkey, coming from an 1865 report about the President's actions in 1863. There seems to be some truth in the matter, but it was far from a tradition or spectacle - Lincoln's son Tad had grown attached to the bird, so Abe decided to spare it . Additionally, the tradition usually involves pardoning an animal sent to the President - that wasn't a tradition until 1873, when a rather intelligent poultry farmer figured out a trick.

Gifts to the President were nothing new. He's the most powerful man in one of the most powerful nations - if the President says he enjoys something, such as the product or service he had received as a pleasant gift, then you can be sure that will become a fashionable item.

The first noted turkey farmer to figure that out was Horace Vose (pictured above), the "Turkey King of Rhode Island" . Every year, the Turkey King would send a dressed turkey to the President. Cracks showed in Vose's final thanksgiving, when Representative South Trimble also sent President Wilson a turkey, certain that it would be better than the Turkey King's turkey (historical record as to which turkey was better doesn't exist, what a fricking oversight). When Vose passed away that December, offering the President turned into all out war - Warren Harding , for example, was sent turkeys every year - even in 1920 when he was both not President and not in America.

But a grand tradition was established that year. In addition to the turkeys Harding was swarmed with, he and President Wilson were both sent live turkeys from Texas - it's unknown what Harding did with the turkey, but Wilson ate the poor thing. Coolidge , the fun police, briefly stopped the practise because he opposed having wild animals in the White House. Thankfully, he was pressured into restoring the practise, and was sent just a bunch of wild animals as penance that year. One such animal was a raccoon. Rather then eat her, Grace Coolidge adopted her and named her Rebecca. And as you can see, she was just a sweet heart.

So for Roosevelt era, the tradition was that during Thanksgiving, the White House would be swarmed by animals in an attempt to get some national advertising or to show support. Things would change in Truman's day.

The First Presentation

In autumn 1947, Truman and the food administration called for "Poultryless Thursdays", a voluntary measure made to try and save food to give to the Europoors after WW1 Poultry farmers were fricking pissed - that year, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all happened to take place on Thursday, so Truman's woke war on turkeys really fricked them over.

This led to the first public Turkey Presentation, where the turkey magnates made a big show of giving Truman a turkey which did lead to Truman taking Turkey off the "pls don't eat list".

This was the first time that the President being given a turkey was given attention with a show made out of it, and it was a lobbying effort, god bless America. The establishment of this tradition is likely why President Truman is credited with the other tradition, the pardon, but as the Truman library notes - this turkey was not at all spared. The guy was a massive cheapskate, he 100% ate that turkey

Instead, the first turkey spared was in 1963, when President Kennedy declined to have the turkey he was presented with on a whim.

On November the 19th, President Kennedy sarcastically said "We'll just let this one grow" (it was 55 lbs). Why he didn't want to eat this turkey isn't clear - he ate bacon every day and loved oysters, so it's not like he was a vegetarian. And he kind of died 10 days later, so we couldn't exactly ask him why he did this. Some have speculated that it was kind of power play over the more "macho" Lyndon Johnson , but he didn't have a problem with the 1961 or 1962 turkeys. More likely, in my opinion, is that Kenney was just feeling silly. He was prone to just doing silly, whimsical things - it was why the press liked him so much.

So, mystery solved. President Kennedy was the President that established the Turkey Pardon, and he did it for shits and giggles.

The issue with this is that it wasn't repeated for some time. LBJ did not fricking spare a single bird, if the press wasn't present in that photo he'd unhinge his jaw and eat that bird then and there, and Nixon ate a few birds - while he did send some Turkeys to a petting zoo (and the Carters sent every bird to a petting zoo), that wasn't part of the tradition at all. More critically, President Kennedy, Nixon and Carter didn't "pardon" the turkey. He just sent it back home, he didn't use his powers for it. So, when was the first time that a President pardoned a turkey?

The First Pardon

1987, Ronald Wilson Reagan's second to final year. His landslide victory in 1980 and 1984 may suggest that he's a massively popular and unifying president. And perhaps in 1984, he was.

But in truth, the Iran-Contra scandal is boiling Reagan's administration alive. More and more top officials are being exposed as committing high treason, illegally selling guns to Iran to illegally fund right wing counterrevolutionaries the Contras . While being grilled by the press on whether Reagan will pardon Oliver North, a lead architect behind the scheme, the gears in his addled mind turn. It's a difficult question to answer - so he won't answer it. Putting on his movie star grin and giving Charlie the turkey a pet, he smiles, ignores the question, and says he will indeed be pardoning this turkey.

Unlike Kennedy's clemency, Reagan's pardon wasn't spur of the moment. He had only had one turkey, in 1981, and had afterwards sent the birds to petting zoos as well. But this was the first time the idea of a pardon was introduced to a turkey presentation field. That's right, the first example of this silly show was covering up massive corruption at the very top of American power. God bless America!

Like Kennedy, this wasn't the start of a tradition for a reason - Reagan didn't do it again in 1988. Instead, the tradition was started in 1989, during the first Bushs' first year.

"Let me assure you, and this fine tom turkey, that he will not end up on anyone's dinner table, not this guy. He's granted a presidential pardon as of right now."

For some reason, the President that oversaw an end to the Cold War didn't have why he pardoned turkeys a lot noted for history. It's like he had no idea what's important. It could be that he wanted to try and legitimise the first pardon, but after Reagan didn't have a pardon ceremony in 1989, that strikes me as unlikely. Bush wasn't exactly a vegetarian, so I can only arrive at the conclusion he thought he thought it was neat.

Or, rather his team thought it was neat. He didn't give a frick either way, saying of the affair "'Reprieve', 'keep him going', or 'pardon': it's all the same for the turkey, as long as he doesn't end up on the president's holiday table."

Nonetheless, it was a cute tradition established and actually followed up on, as Clinton pardoned his turkey - citing the tradition as going back to Lincoln and Truman, which is likely why there's some confusion. Slick Willie, you scamp!

Addendum - what happens to the turkeys after the pardon?

They die.

John Stossel did a report on it. The turkeys are bred to be eaten, not enjoy life. Fed a grain-heavy diet of fortified corn and soybeans to increase their size, what typically happens is that the flesh grows so fast that their bones and organs can't match the overgrown flesh, so they just die.

This isn't unique to the presidential turkeys - this applies to the vast majority of turkeys chosen to be slaughtered. The only difference between the presidential turkeys and normal turkeys is that the presidential turkeys are trained to handle crowds, before dying slowly from their forced mutations.

Yeah I ended the longpost with vegan propaganda. Deal with it cute twinks

Me not agreeing with the logic isn't marginalizing them. Can I ask why it's so important for them to be validated by others? Believe what you want. Let me believe what I want. I'm not disrespecting them but you can't change your DNA. (1)

Firstly DNA does change over time. It can be why cancer develops, or trauma, which is why we know radiation is extremely dangerous. It's why we age. There is even a twin study composed by NASA to further assess it.Don't parrot things you don't know. You've likely been told many times gender is a social construct and willfully ignored this and scream deoxyribonucleic acid like its a magic gatcha. Most of the world also believes it's just X and Y without regards to intergender, the SRY gene (which brought out a lot of jackasses last year regarding Imane Khelif), or the genetic anomalies that alter sexual development (XXY, XYY, XO, etc.)You can't go a second without feeling like you're catering to someone by giving a modicum of respect based on a belief you've barely studied in highschool, or had it repeated into your head by propaganda of what you think someone should or shouldn't be.

It's your right as an American 🇺🇸 to have and voice your opinions beliefs- it's also your right to be wrong. MAGA is not the problem. It's the infighting and tribalism that divide us. I just want the best for America and its citizens. We should all be able to revolve around this point. We are all Americans. (-1)

But your "best" for America and its citizens probably doesn't match my "best." And MAGA isn't the root of the problem, sure, but a manifestation of decades of political rot and subversion and lies going unchecked. Decades ago when it was decided that facts didn't matter, that was the slippery slope emerging. Please don't tell me MAGA isn't the problem when they're racist and ok with Nazis and persecution of anyone who isn't white male. If the goal was to spread Christ, as they claim, they need to reread their Bible if they have the literacy and reading comprehension skills. And if that wasn't the goal (which duh, it's not when it's coming from Trump/Elon/etc.), it's greed and evil intent personified. So sure, you can try to walk back years of poison, but you'll find no one will trust or listen to you again. (1)

The recent Destiny drama has been the gift that keeps on giving. Not only have we seen pictures of his gross peepee, video of him sucking someone else's gross peepee, and smoking gun evidence that he truly does frick every woman he associates with professionally even if he tries to be coy about it, but it also flared up a slapfight on Destiny's Kiwi Farms thread where most of these leaks first got posted, and the thread regulars had to deal with the Kiwi rank and file taking new interest in his thread.

Here we're focusing on one Kiwi Farms user by the name of Blav. He's by far the most productive poster in the Destiny thread, but he's also the most neurodivergent. His major highlights include:

• Being the first person to really go into detail on how close Destiny got with Lauren Southern and speculate about their affair with substance, something that has now been almost certainly proven

• Doxing the original Cuties respecter, mrgirl, by examining his videos for distinguishing house and neighborhood features, then combing through hundreds of house listings on real estate sites in his general area to find the correct address

• Keeping logs of everyone Destiny follows on Twitter and Instagram so he can figure out who was staying at Destiny's apartment in a given week

• Creating multiple sock puppet accounts so he could argue with himself because he believed Destiny was watching what he posted in the thread, and he wanted to throw off Destiny so he'd be more willing to publicly hint at his new girlfriend

• Blocking at least a thousand people in a Groomercord server one by one because he was looking for a specific message

• Getting bitched at by Null because he kept using random colors in his posts

That's all one post, by the way.

Moving on to the drama in the thread. If you haven't paid attention, most of the leaked DM's and sextapes came from the same source: a Groomercord user named Rose that Destiny sexted and overshared with, who gave her account over to another Groomercord user named Solo. Solo joined the site under the name SoloTinyLeaks and posted all the videos you might have seen and has also teased a few tidbits of information, the most intriguing being that he knows Rose's real age and that she lied about being 19 when she and Destiny first started sexting. According to Solo she was actually underage at the time, but he won't substantiate that any further out of fear of helping someone dox her.

A lot of people in that thread, Blav included, think Destiny likes to target naive young women because they're the easiest to woo. Blav says outright he believes Destiny is an ephebophile but also starts mixing in the word libertarian. He gets baited by a longtime Kiwi shitposter named Dynastia\Dyn into explaining why people might call Destiny a libertarian.

At this point he gets pissy and threatens to leave:

But of course he doesn't, since he has plenty of sock accounts he keeps signing in to new ones to argue with people in the thread. Will he actually leave forever? Who knows at this point, but he's managed to stay away from the farms for a whole 15 hours at the time of writing this.

All while that's going on, Dynastia is baiting others into arguing over what qualifies as libertarianism, Null is trying to be diplomatic and redirect the thread's energy to the women who had porn of them leaked (a scandal of far bigger substance), and a thread semi-regular named Green Meanie b-words at Null for bringing r-slurs into the thread. This triggers Null to lay down the law.

And that's about where we stand so far. The thread is a bit tense due to daddy Null having to scold people, but conversation seems to be returning to normal. No idea if or when Blav will return (he will), or if he's already back on a sock account no one has discovered yet (probably).

TL;DR the state of the KF Destiny thread:

!ranchers @arsey

From the article:

The City of Melbourne council and Victorian government remain steadfast in their Australia Day policies despite a swell in support for the national holiday. Victoria will not bring back Melbourne's Australia Day Parade, which was a centrepiece of celebrations up until it was cancelled by former premier Dan Andrews during the Covid period four years ago. Staff working for the state government and City of Melbourne Council will also continue to have the option to shun Australia Day as a holiday by choosing another day to have off. Although the City of Melbourne will host traditional citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day the council confirmed it still opposes January 26 as the date of national celebration. 'The City of Melbourne will host nine citizenship ceremonies in 2025 – including on January 26,' a council spokesperson told the Herald Sun.

It also found 86 per cent of respondents were 'proud to be Australian' while 68 per cent agreed that Australia has 'a history to be proud of'. January 26, which marks the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney's Port Jackson in 1788, has been labelled Invasion Day by those who see it as a date for mourning the colonisation and dispossession of Indigenous Australians. IPA deputy executive Director Daniel Wild said the results demonstrated a shift in the vibe and energy surrounding Australia Day.

'It is clear that mainstream Australians have had a gutful of this attitude and being put upon by the elites,' Mr Wild said. 'The 26th of January is more than just a date, it represents the establishment of modern Australia as a free and fair country.'

For those who don't know. Victoria is a communist backwater state in Australia. It is one the poorest and most uncultured states. It even signed itself up to China's Belt and Road initiative is currently in a mountain of debt. I hate Victoria so much bros. I hope Trump invades Victoria genocides every single soy Victorian there. Fricking cute twinks. Kill all Victorians. Despite making up 20% of Australia's population, Victoria consumes 84% of federal subsidies. That's just how much of shithole Victoria is. Australia would be much richer if we just booted it from the Federation.

Anyway, Soybourne actually are having Aus day celebrations - I just want any excuse to shit on the city that I live in.

The IPA - the Institute of Public Affairs - is a rightoid "think"tank that espouses whatever their donors want to here. When I become dictator, these kinds of people will be liquidated. Lots of people will be liquidated. It is my dream to one day be unburdened by leftoids and rightoids. Every aussie will be an ascended griller. I will install though trackers into the brains of every citizen so that they can only think good, correct thoughts.

I've got the flu, have only slept 3 hours and just want to weird post. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

Let's see how the Redditors are eating up this garbage article:

This will only help dutton in the upcoming election.

Exactly, these traitors need flushing out of the system. Go find another country to disassemble.

Fricking ease up turbo. Most people who don't choose to celebrate the day just want it changed. They don't want to disassemble the country 😂😂.

I would bet 8 out 10 people in this situation are either state actors or passive aggressive Marxists, 2 actually really care...

Below is you:

https://giphy.com/gifs/byYvc9meProt2

Haha, I upmarseyd this.

Mate you're fricking cooked. It's not even hard to understand why indigenous people find it offensive. We literally celebrate the day some other c*nt rocked up in a boat and said "Yeah, I'll take it " Literally the only problem stopping this debate from being easily resolved is the fact that the dumb c*nts started the federated nation of Australia on Jan 1st. So it's a bit fricking hard to celebrate our actual birthday because everyone is hungover.

Jesus dude, hop off the Pauline punch

We'll be isn't too far off, the people promoting this garbage don't understand the damage their doing and the blow back that comes after it.. some things are better off left alone.

What damage?

When Dutton gets in you and the other down voting clowns should take a look in the mirror and take a bow

What is Dutton going to force people to wear flags as capes at gunpoint? Most if the decline in attendance at Australia far events happened under a Liberal government

Cope

Frick off you do know what Marxist is

Do you?

Karl Marx wrote in the communist manifesto that communism shall be defined as not having Australia day on January 26. Once that is achieved we can have a dictatorship of the proletariat, initiate a cultural revolution and live like George Orwins animal crackers.

The pigs rule, until they're eaten.

What exactly is a "passive aggressive Marxist"?

A Marxist who is aggressive, passively...

Fine. Don't seize the means of production. See if I care.

Calling people that want Australia Day moved (not even gone just moved) traitors is fricking hilarious. What flavour crayon are you eating today?

How did you come to the conclusion that I was referring specifically to people that want Australia Day moved traitors? You are sprinkling false context where it doesn't exist. If you read through my history, I am all for moving the date.

But who then wants to "disassemble" Australia?

Maybe those who have something to gain from it? Usually it is distraction or manipulation for political control, or partitioning votes. There are benefits in keeping people busy fighting amongst themselves, consider it filling a collective cognitive capacity with "noise".

As an Australian I would like the national day to honour the day Australians did something, like Federation (Jan 1), establishment of Australian authority I've parliament and courts (March 3) or perhaps a republic. I think the "traitors" are the ones who celebrate a day British sips carrying British convicts landed here to establish a British penal colony under a British flag

I disagree (regarding who are the traitors), the vast majority of people are celebrating because it is a public holiday celebrating the nation. Most are victims of circumstances and contingent outcomes. This disunity has been poorly handled by politicians who should have fixed this years ago with real action, not subtle sly messaging that only ensures people are distracted from the shocking job they are doing.

As an Australian I don't like holidays on days celebrating the actions of British people. Am I a traitor?

No.

Forcing people to celebrate on January 26…..sounds like the LNP are the communists

No one is forcing anyone to do anything, inaction is the issue.

For those who don't know, Dutton is the leader of the Liberal Party. The Liberals are the hecking based and tradpilled cuckservative party who totally won't sell off the soil under your feet to their mates or foreign actors. (Labor is no better).

Melbourne…

Naarm, if you prefer not to use the name of an English prime minister infamous as a nonce in his own lifetime.

Lot of downmarseys from people who prefer the English nonce.

You're weird

Probably what they said to the guy whose idea it was to name somewhere after an English nonce.

Ngl, that was funny 🤣

FFS, Again: it's not about the DAY it's the DATE. Everyone I know is totally in favour of Australia Day, most people I know just want the date changed. Mr Dutton could actually choose to go down the change the date track, but he doesn't do that, quite deliberately. He just can't recognise or have any empathy as to why the date is so fricking awful.

Whats wrong with the date?

Seriously. ok. I'll give you a clue..... Invasion and dispossession.

Did a bloody good job in just 200 years.

The slogan "Abolish the date" indicates some people want Australia Day itself abolished, rather than rescheduled.

Fricked if I know how you read that into a 3 word definitive statement. Abolish the date. Full stop. Nowhere in there does it mention abolishing Australia Day.

Sorry mate I couldnt find a gaybc or guardian article for you. Its funny how those companies tend not to report on things like this or at best spin in it a way that makes it out to be a good thing. But you already knew that. Tabloids you dont like printing facts you dont like it, doesn't make them untrue.

Such a mature and outstanding contribution

|

The guardian and the 'gaybc' as you so intelligently put it don't report on things like this, because it's billionaire-funded culture war BS that has successfully indoctrinated you into feeling enraged about a holiday that means nothing other than a day off for 90% of the population. I'm also extremely concerned that you genuinely believe a shitrag that reads at a primary-school level and literally takes its sources from right-wing think tanks is 'printing facts'. It's printing propaganda. And you have fallen for it.

Hey guys, person from Naarm here. Just want to acknowledge the custodians of this sub, past, present, and emerging on the sub in which we're posting. There is no need to thank us. We're just leading by example so that one day, even those red neck Queenslanders will see the error of their ways and join with us in protest to change the date. Yes we know, support for genocide is growing (as demonstrated by the evil Murdoch empire), but I assure you we will continue the fight alone by holding Invasion Day rallies with the usual "no pride in genocide", "always was, always will be", and the classic "sovereignty was never ceded" until 11:59pm and then do it again until next year on January 26th. Yes, we could protest all year about it, but unfortunately, we don't really want to complete with the pro-Palastinian protesters for the Sunday time slot all year and we also don't really care as long as we virtue signal harder than everyone else in this racist country. Flag burning starts at 5:30, you're welcome to join us.

This post needs gold guilding just for the tone alone, I stopped breathing for several seconds before the laughter orgasm.

Steve Bannon Escalates Feud With Elon Musk: 'Parasitic Illegal Immigrant'

Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to President Donald Trump, has escalated his attacks on Elon Musk, calling the billionaire a "parasitic illegal immigrant" and accusing him of using his influence to push an agenda that disregards American traditions.

The latest remarks underscore growing tensions between two key Trump loyalists. Bannon, the media executive who once served as Trump's chief strategist during his first White House term, has portrayed Musk as a dangerous force within the current administration.

Bannon, a key architect of Trump's first-term agenda, has increasingly positioned himself as a vocal critic of Musk's expanding role in the administration. He has accused Musk, the world's richest person, of being "a racist," "an agent of Chinese influence" and an existential threat to the MAGA movement.

In a groundbreaking use of teleportation, critical units of a quantum processor have been successfully spread across multiple computers, proving the potential of distributing quantum modules without compromising on their performance.

While the transfer only took place over a space of two meters (about six feet) in an Oxford University laboratory, the leap was more than enough to emphasize the feasibility of scaling quantum technology by teleporting quantum states across an 'internet' of connected systems.

Teleportation is a quirk of physics that only makes sense through a quantum lens, where objects exist in a blur of possible characteristics until processes of measurement force them to adopt each state.

By mingling the undecided states of different objects in an act known as entanglement, and then carefully choosing the right kinds of measurements to make on one, it's possible to use the answers to force an entangled object some distance away to adopt (and destroy) the original object's quantum identity.

It might not be the kind of teleportation that would beam passengers through the vacuum of space in a blink, but it's perfect for sharing the blur of information necessary for logical operations in a quantum processor.

"Previous demonstrations of quantum teleportation have focused on transferring quantum states between physically separated systems," says lead author Dougal Main, a physicist at Oxford University.

"In our study, we use quantum teleportation to create interactions between these distant systems."

Where classical computers use binary 'on or off' switches to perform strings of computations on bits of information, quantum computers use mathematically complex distributions of possibilities known as qubits, typically represented in a simple feature of an uncharged particle such as a charged atom.

To make this process practical, hundreds or even thousands of such particles need to have their yet-to-be-decided states entangled with one another in a restricted fashion, without intrusive objects weaving their own possibilities in and messing up the calculations.

Scaling current technology to this level is complicated by obstacles that require error-correcting processes or shielding to preserve the delicate quantum states long enough for them to be measured.

Linking a number of smaller processors across a network to create a kind of quantum supercomputer is another solution. While quantum information can be transmitted in the form of a light wave, the potential for its state to be irreversibly corrupted along the way makes it an impractical option.

Teleportation requires the receipt of measurements the old-fashioned way – through reliable binary data. Once sent, operations at the receiving end can tweak their own entangled particle until it effectively looks like the original.

The all-important quantum blur of the teleported spin state in the Oxford University experiment was an 86 percent match with the original, more than good enough for it to serve as a logic gate for a simple operation known as a Grover's algorithm, which succeeded with 71 percent efficiency across the two quantum processors.

"By interconnecting the modules using photonic links, our system gains valuable flexibility, allowing modules to be upgraded or swapped out without disrupting the entire architecture," says Main.

Having options for restructuring a quantum network could diversify the applications for such technology, repurposing networks of computers into cowtools that can measure and test physics at its most fundamental level.

This is literally how I see the average @kaamrev post

It's not drama. I want to avoid places that don't align with my values. If the president gets to do that why can't I? (38)

Your choice to do so isn't drama.Your choice to engage in a discussion about it with Internet strangers on an anonymized site? Drama.But I could be wrong! Let's see if I'm wrong. (-20)

Are you people for real? Jackson Heights suffers a lot from illegal immigration. 🙄 (-17)

Are immigrants the one raising our tax code, allowing racism to run rampant, spreading lies, releasing violent criminals, firing hardworking people because they're uplifting minority voices, defunding federal organizations which directly led to a plane crash and deaths of civilians, increasing tariffs that will only harm the average person, etc?

There are many things this President has done or gets to do that you will never be able to.I expect this to be a controversial statement in true Reddit fashion.EDIT: never change Reddit, I was talking about the fact that he got away with felonies, being a male feminist, a libertarian, an open racist, and somehow becoming President while simultaneously being the dumbest person I have ever had the displeasure of listening to more than any human deserves. Knew you guys would take it the wrong way and come with the pitchforks. (-11)

As recently as last year Dan Cathy has publicly opposed marriage equality. (7)

So what? Why don't you go ask the local mosque if they approve of you? I don't care who approves of me or not. And doesn't matter if they oppose gay people being married, who cares? When I was a hateful leftist I used to say oh don't eat Chick-fil-A. I don't do that anymore. I eat Chick-fil-A. It's a great company. You know they just shot and killed an ex-muslim in Sweden? Sweden a progressive, western country. We need to take control of our borders and stop our country being overrun by people who hate us. (-4)

I resigned from xAI tonight.
It makes me very sad, but was the right thing to do -- and here's why.

xAI told me I either had to delete the post quoted below, or face being fired.

After reviewing everything and thinking a lot, I've decided that I'm not going to delete the post… https://t.co/8egdL0c8gc
