Claiming to be the most transparent president ever...

It's so obviously transparent, it doesn't even have to be mentioned how bad it actually is. Perhaps a recurring reminder that it's yet again worse then we previously thought.

    Trump made the comments while complaining to the audience in Port Huron, Michigan, that the Nobel Peace Prize was won by a “woman nobody had ever heard of.” “I said ‘What about me? Do they do two of them?’ Think of it, I settled, so I’m not in love with Norway. Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually,”.

    Thus in his mindset he's worse than some unknown loser girl. Let's give the orange one the benefit of the doubt. He's indeed much worse. So who is she?

    The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay for her efforts to promote peace and international law. Navi Pillay’s commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass are constants in a long career. ... Today Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide.

    Ok sure, that's an easy win. Besides sucking up to other genocidal maniacs in this World, Trump neither has a moral compass nor legal principles.

    to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and

    to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and

    to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and

    to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

    AND FOR THESE ENDS

    to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and

    to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and

    to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

    Defeat, because Russia does everything in their power... to undermine all this. And everywhere they go. Not because we don't like them or because of what they perhaps see as 'incidents'.

    Article 4: Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations.

    But it's in many cases not 'your' kid. You have invited someone else's kid (with unknown upbringing) to let it play with yours (or alone at your place, but that's an awkward example). You can instruct it to play around, but who's at fault when this invitee starts to make a mess all by itself.

    Anyway, in the case of hacking, as we can read in the news, it is the kid doing it's 'explorations' unsupervised from its parents house.

    When you treat is as a tool, like guns, then it's simple: AI does not do unlawful things, people do. So anyone handling this tool is responsible for 'it's' actions.

    Treat AI as if it's an intelligent pet, and any damages it does also transfers to the one responsible for it - almost the same difference. When a certain line of AI's keep doing unlawful things then, because it's categorized as 'pet', treat them as an unreliable breed.

    Treat AI as an stand-alone individual, then ask why on Earth a company let's an untrained idiot have access to all kinds of sensitive PII data and continuously allow it to hack websites.

    Even when so, the voter should have enough time to appeal before election day.

    In court papers, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said that the district court’s ruling “threatens the integrity of upcoming elections” by preventing the government from responding to state requests to verify the citizenship of potential voters.

    anyway:

    Noncitizen voting is extremely rare. All states are required to conduct voter roll list maintenance under federal law, and states already have processes to identify any noncitizens who do accidentally make it onto the voter rolls.
