Trump has now told Jeanne Pirro that he wants her to change her mind and re charge David Hearn.

As much as I love watching her squirm, this is her death knell. She has 2 choices. Either submit or be fired.

When are these Maga morons going to get it? Trump will cut the head off anyone.

People really don’t like AI data centers. 71% of Americans oppose them. Several counties and states have proposed or passed laws to ban them.

But this notion that AI data centers are quickly popping up everywhere is belied by the fact that their construction faces massive hurdles.
