A couple of nuggets from the article for any of you thinking that the Dems are any better:

Anduril is now building a “virtual border wall” for the federal government and Trump, who long campaigned on building a physical barrier on the US-Mexico border, abandoned that promise during his first term and now supports the exact solution Anduril is selling.

Key words being: “is now building” (under Biden)

From Anduril’s blog: https://blog.anduril.com/president-biden-demanded-high-tech-capacity-for-border-security-805b7b5664b5

and:

Though HARPA was not created under the Trump administration, Trump reportedly reacted “very positively” to the proposal and was “sold on the concept.” In addition, before the proposal was known publicly, Trump had called on Big Tech, and specifically social media to collaborate with the DOJ to create software that stops mass murders before they happen by detecting potential mass shooters before they can act. However, Trump ultimately passed on creating HARPA, which was ultimately created during the Biden administration as ARPA-H, underscoring the bipartisan nature of this agenda.

It’s a uni-party, folks. The article is worth a full read.

      Wow that wasn’t worse than I thought. It’s kind of exactly what I thought. But then I’ve been paying attention so I suppose that was kind of obvious.

        Well you’d have to ask Vance, since at one point he thought he was gay, by his own admission.

        But I don’t like going down that road. I don’t want to shame him for his potential sexuality. Just for his actual policies.

          I was more referring to Thiel backing him. And I agree there is no shame at all in being gay, but there is a strong element of hypocrisy and that is shameful.

          Shame him for fucking a couch all day. But the fact that he’s one of probably many, many, closeted Republicans is just kinda sad.
