AI anger is being fueled by more than fear of the technology itself. Millions of Americans worry that AI will eliminate jobs, concentrate unprecedented power in a handful of corporations, erode privacy, consume enormous amounts of electricity and water through sprawling data centers and further blur the line between reality and manufactured information.
Subscribe to my newsletter. Lindsey Graham’s approach to Israel and Lebanon epitomized Washington’s permanent-war mentality. He reflexively supported Israeli military action, viewed Hezbollah primarily through confrontation with Iran and consistently favored escalation over restraint. Diplomacy seemed secondary to threats, weapons and force. His neoconservative worldview repeatedly risked dragging America deeper into Middle Eastern conflicts whose consequences were borne by ordinary people, not Washington’s interventionist establishment. mailchi.mp/lionelmedia/the-lindsey-graham-hagiogra…
The more mindless the hagiographies about Lindsey Graham become, the more obvious it is that those writing them know remarkably little about his actual record. Sentimental canonization is not history. The louder the praise, the greater the amnesia.
The latest attempt to manufacture a new trope is this: “So now every convicted assassin should be released unless the murder was captured on video?” Nobody said that. Ever. The issue is that the prosecution itself reportedly represented that it had video evidence of the alleged shooter and the shooting. If that characterization was made, then the evidence should match the claim. This is not some absurd new rule that every murder must be captured in 4K. It is the elementary principle that when the State says it has a particular piece of powerful evidence, it should be able to produce exactly what it claimed to have. Stop changing the argument. Nobody said everything must be on video.

The threats were real. The reaction(s) expected.
