Losers, not leaders.
Trump and JD Vance are digitally edited onto the bodies of the stars from the reality TV series Pawn Stars.

They are standing behind a glass display counter, ready to make a deal.

Bold white impact text overlaid across the bottom of the image reads: BEST WE CAN DO IS RENAME SHIT.

The early 2000s really was just an era of ignoring what was broken and "fixing" what didn't need fixed – only to make it worse in the process.

You know, Trump wants his name on everything, so once his term is over, tear down all his constructions (code violations will probably be easy to find) and sell the remnants as "Trump rubble." There. You have legal justification for the teardowns, and now it's deficit-neutral. You're welcome.

My new employer is fond of the maximizing excitable headlines, but this is just the bluntest possible expression of my point: Freedom of the press is vital--and you prove that by doing the work that supports democracy, not by talking about doing it.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

That this story doesn't even give a passing mention to Reverend Rafael Warnock feels like an oversight to me. Much like "working class" has come to mean the white working class, those using the term "Christian" tend to ignore the Black church.

This entire thread. It's a nightmare scenario: an economic model that knowingly cannibalizes its inputs. In other words, it would be like candy bar manufacturers finding a way to make chocolate that pays them billions in the short term, but that burns cocoa fields to the ground.

Watched "Coyote vs. Acme" with my girlfriend. Not only is it a great film, but it comes at a perfect time, given the zeitgeist. The folks in the theater we were at applauded the speech Will Forte's character gives, in which he decries the powerful doing whatever they want.

This is how it became illegal to repair your own John Deere tractor and why a Canadian musician selling a song to a Canadian must hand over 30% to Apple. But now that Trump has just thrown this trade agreement in the dumpster, poured bourbon all over and set fire to it..... ....we could be free.
