Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Temu quality president.
For years, some on the extreme right have promoted the conspiracy theory that the U.S. military is in possession of technology — in the form of magic “med beds” — which can singlehandedly cure any disease and extend human life. The beds can supposedly even regrow missing limbs within minutes.
that the military really is in possession of such a device.
The side effects of using that thing would explain how crazy some of the billionaire types have been getting of late I suppose...
That’s the real reason he created the Space Force

Every American will receive a med bed card? So like, universal healthcare?
Shh, don't distract him when he's starting to get the point. No matter how nuts he might be, if this plants the idea that the orange one supports healthcare for all in the minds of his followers, it might move some in the right direction.
Bonkers people do bonkers things.
Would you expect a sane output from someone who is about as mentally stable as The Joker.
So this would essentially be the beds from Prometheus?
FTFY
Trump ~~Posts an~~ Absolutely Bonkers ~~AI Video in Which He Promotes a Magic ‘Med Bed’ That Can Cure Any Disease~~

No wonder Trump wants to remove any and all AI regulations, it makes it easier for him to grift people.

Ok, so was that video entirely AI and he saw it and posted it thinking maybe he was interviewed for it and forgot… or is that video real and he was actually interviewed and this was a real news clip?
The Fox News studio posted a statement, saying the clip was never aired on their channel. The entire news clip is AI, not just the part with Trump talking.
I just think it’s ai voices over mostly real clips and obvious stock footage. If you make a cut every second of two no one can even tell that video doesn’t belong to the audio
But then, I have no interest in going framed by frame. I can see how this would fool someone as moronic as anyone to the right of left

Knowing the likes of Trump, it probably solves the problems of life in this way...
Why would you put those vibes out into the world? Im not gonna be able to sleep for a week now...
My grandmother actually believes that this "med bed" bullshit is real. It's not going to do anything.
It's not going to do anything.
I bet it will do one thing: Separate idiots from their money. There will inevitably be scammers who target the elderly, claiming that their medbed card was delayed because they owe back taxes. Now they need to go buy $5000 in Target gift cards, or else they’ll never be able to access their medbed.
Not just the elderly, there's a LOT of chronically and terminally ill people who fall for these scams because at some point, there's a lot of people who are willing to flail your arms and try anything, regardless of how dumb it sounds, rather than having to hear the doctors say "well we can try X for 3 weeks and see what we get out of it" for the 50th time.
Ok guys ngl I honestly believe their is a two tier tech system and billionaires have sci-fi level medical access to techniques that stretch lifespan to 120-170
Why does the prez look like crap and his hand is rotting? Why do we see turtles in Congress freezing and needing a reboot?
Except none of them have lived that long. They hype everything they do as The Next Big Thing, but none of it has been that in 20 years.
Smartwatches, VR/AR, crypto, Metaverse, AI, smart everything, IoT... There's gotta be a ton more. If those turds had a heal-everything box, they'd use them to make billions.
I dunno, I've seen musks torso. That looks like a surgical fuck up to me but maybe he wanted to have the chest of a dumpster
I have no evidence to support this, but I think he took some poorly-researched HGH analogue, but didn't work out at all, so his bones got all fucky, his hair fell out, and he grew no muscle.
Yeah, no. None of this exists, nor will exist for at least decades to come, same as living beyond 120 years of age
"Ok guys ngl I honestly believe their is a two tier tech system"
Yes
"...and billionaires have sci-fi level medical access to techniques that stretch lifespan to 120-170"
No, but we are getting there. I think it's far more likely these billionaires will start building neural models of themselves so they can outlive their bodies. It will be the modern equivalent of an expensive portrait or statue. It will also be terrifying if left in charge of making decisions for large companies because pride and money.
It would also be a cheap imitation, it will not be the immortality they are looking for, science is nowhere near this singularity they are dumping all of this money into.
What a boring way to be a vampire. Show some originality, blood suckers!
He must have just watched it. Or one of his sycophants told him about it.

So I take it this dipshit finally got around to watching Elysium? Surely his handlers should know by now that you shouldn't let Donny watch movies by himself after dark.
He didn't pick up on the theme of the commons defeating authoritarianism and only noticed the magic medical beds.
It’s like thinking Star Wars is all about cool glow stick fights. I mean, it is, but it’s about other stuff too.
It's about pew, pew too.
Actually after Andor my Star Wars perspective has shifted. Any Star Wars from the epic to the small is about hope, and that anyone can contribute their part to change. Sometimes a person is a big part of that, sometimes just a small piece, but they're all important.
Wow, Trump wouldn't like that, would he? That is, if he could possibly pick up on that theme.

Which version of med bed? The alien origin ones or the advanced earth civilization hidden under Mount Shasta?

Awh poor Donnie wishes he wasn't a sick perverted fuck.
So I've just decided that if the president of the United States can literally scam the dumbest people in the world out of money, it's carte blanche for me to do it as well. I'll return to morality if sanity ever returns to the world.

This is FANTASTIC NEWS! What's even More Fantastic is that Trump gave MORE Funding to Research and Medicine to make this A REALITY! I DO MY OWN RESEARCH!
The AI didn't even imitate his voice that accurately.
