Last week, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claimed during an interview on Fox Business that opposition to data centers is a “Chinese psyop.” Johnson said, “I really believe that.
Once again it's the, "Don't believe your own lying eyes, ears, brown water coming out of your faucets or your bloated utility bills...." because I said so.
Kevin O'Leary tried to make the same claim about a data center in Utah he's backing. They say great minds think alike, but clearly, not-so-great minds think alike as well.
You can't make a millionaire or a billionaire without l-i-a-r. It's hiding but it's there. It's a stretch but get off your duff and stretch before atrophy sets in and our children no longer need to learn to read, or write, or talk good.
Squeaker Mike Johnson believes in invisible men in the sky who tell him what to do and say so are we surprised that he is willing to believe that elves bake his cookies and the Chinese make Americans hate data centers?
I say after the midterms, get Pete Buttegieg in the Speaker role. Not my idea but a casual remark made on a podcast. A remark that needs to blow up everywhere.
Can you say, "conflict of interest?" Judd and team, thank you for clarifying the origins of this latest disinformation campaign. I see a future where some of the grassroots activists working on blocking data centers in their communities will be arrested and prosecuted by the executive branch, and I'll know how the smear campaign against them got started.
MAGA is desperate. Trump recently told his cult to cheat for him when they vote. His christofascist cult is ok with lying, cheating, and stealing to win. Trump continues to exploit Jesus to get evangelical votes. Like Jim Jones, he will take his cult down with him.
I have enough difficulty with the flood of news and information, that I cannot imagine what Magats go through. You know when you've been told a lie, you can feel it? These cultists live in a cesspool of lies. How do they connect two dots that are lies and truly do not go together? I guess it gets mushy around the edges, pop another pill, and take another sip of Jesus wine, applaud another bomb dropping on brown skinned children and the world is blurry and good.
“over 70% of Americans “oppose constructing data centers for artificial intelligence in their local area.” Johnson replies with “Forget it Jake… it’s China.” Not in my town.
Hundreds of data centers were operating before news about local concern and protests was reported in popular media. Now, people are aware of the positive and negative impacts a data center can have. If public concerns and the warnings from AI developers themselves move governments to act, that's good. I support a slow-down of construction of data centers; even a moratorium. Government regulation and corporate self-control (ha!) must be the outcome of the data center debate. Local governments have been dealing with data center development without much help from state and federal government. States and Washington have been stirred to awareness recently. They have the power to act rightly on AI concerns and must not leave it to fear-mongering Mike and his like to reassure the public.
Whenever Trump or any other Republican starts a sentence with "A lot of people say" or "A lot of people are saying," everything that follows its a complete and total LIE. They are hoping that their remaining followers will jump on the artificial bandwagon they've created and believe their lies along with that "lot of people."
Generally what follows that "lot of people are saying," is pulled directly out of their back orifices and, if you examine it, even from a distance, you'll discover it smells as if they had been eating something really rank.
When Trump, Johnson, et al, claim such things the reality is that only THEY are saying them, and hoping no one will ask for evidence (which, if they produce, which they generally won't, responding, instead with the equivalent of "I can't believe you'd ask me such a question," or "You're a nasty person, or The organization you work for is "fake news"), whatever evidence they provide will come out of the same orifice and smell just as bad.
The actual TRUTH is not in these people. Their entire world is built on a foundation of lies equivalent to a house of cards. They are terrified that the whole thing will collapse with the slightest breeze of questioning. It's making them desperately crazy. They are in deep denial that November less than a month away.
Anyone who has seen live news about what life is like for people who live near data centers KNOWS that their lives are made miserable with noise pollution, and that the land usually cannot handle this extra demand for more water. The photograph of Trump, Johnson, and the Nvidia chairman whow their reposnses to lying tha tis obvious to everyone. The excuses and blames are too foolish to not be boring and annoying, which is of course natural to Trump.
The problem with data centers being so unpopular is that AI use is growing. So with typical American hypocrisy we oppose data centers in our communities but can’t stop using ChatGPT.
I wonder how many Republicans "... have written letters expressing concerns about “foreign influence campaigns” targeting..." Democrats to keep the Russia-loving Repubs in power?
Including the demented old fool in the White House.
My "representative" District 2 Tennessee said that the problem with data centers is PR! He more than likely got this response from the talking points memo of republithugs! If there's some better PR, I doubt that he'll invite a data center to build near his horse farm.

Mike Johnson “ believes” a whole bunch of stuff that is patently false. So who cares what he thinks.
Kevin O'Leary tried to make the same claim about a data center in Utah he's backing. They say great minds think alike, but clearly, not-so-great minds think alike as well.

...just like our leader.
Thanks very much for the much-needed laugh this morning.
Kick people off Health care, tax cuts for the rich, data centers are great.
What a platform.

Buttegieg as Speaker!! Wow!

Please flood the megachurches with Kool-Aid by the buckets.
Well OK then. Will they admit that MAGA Republicans are under the influence of a Russian psyop?
As usual, lies and distortions from the Greedy Old Party on behalf of their Fuhrer. Nothing coming out of the GOP is truth these days.

Voting Republican is easier than thinking.
Good quote—thank you!
Not original (alas). I saw it on a bumper sticker years ago.
“over 70% of Americans “oppose constructing data centers for artificial intelligence in their local area.” Johnson replies with “Forget it Jake… it’s China.” Not in my town.
Good one. I almost corrected you but then I saw what you did.
Hundreds of data centers were operating before news about local concern and protests was reported in popular media. Now, people are aware of the positive and negative impacts a data center can have. If public concerns and the warnings from AI developers themselves move governments to act, that's good. I support a slow-down of construction of data centers; even a moratorium.

TC-you are so correct. The rules, laws and regulations never keep pace with what we see happening before our eyes.
Data center towns are the 21st century equivalent of Johnstown, Bethlehem, Youngstown, Lordstown, etc. Factory towns. Without the jobs.
Republicans dont know what to think, they grab at something and drop it when it starts to fizz,
Clearly now their collective brains don't amount to anything like intelligence.
There are no right wing intellectuals. cant be, never have been. lauriemillerjade.com
