“We promised to lower interest rates, lower grocery bills, lower gas prices, increase income, not start any new wars, increase employment, reduce the deficit, increase manufacturing jobs, and beat the shit out of minorities”. You should vote for us because we delivered on 1 of those 9 promises.

You would think FT would recognize that AI is a bubble, and if you pull their stocks out of the indices, the overall market is down 5% for the year. Soaring inflation. Highest mortgage rates in 20 years. Grocery coasts spiraling upward. Record high fuel prices. AI bubble != Booming economy

President Xi said “sir”. He says “sir. You have done an amazing job. Nobody else could do a job like you did.” He had tears in his eyes.

The first step to ethics reform is getting rid of the primary source of corruption in the US today, the man who is looting the treasury.

MAGA needs to double down on “the economy is booming, groceries aren’t more expensive, patriots should be happy to pay more money for gas, and we have won the war in Iran”. Great narrative.

Where I went to school, the two man dorm rooms in Wilson Hall where I lived (still looking unchanged 40 years later)? They now stuff 3 guys in those rooms, and charge 6x as much. $18k vs $3k a year. Double inflation. NO CHANGES! Still no A/C, steam heat, cinder block walls. But now with a bunk bed.

“Free” student loans allowed “public” universities to jack up their tuition rates sky high. Same with text book publishers. You can buy a “gray market” textbook written in English with SI units designated for foreign markets for 1/15 the cost of a Us Textbook. Time for government regulation.

MacKenzie Scott’s Fortune Is Shrinking Fast—and It’s Entirely by Design

Picking on one of the few billionaires with a moral compass who is using her wealth to make the world better is not a good look. She signed the “giving pledge”, vowing to give away 100% of her wealth before she dies. She is on a good trajectory. www.inc.com/leila-sherid...

MacKenzie Scott became one of the world's richest women overnight. Now, her 2026 net worth reveals the staggering impact of her "no strings attached" philanthropy.

101

It was a current picture. Current GF and ex-GF on the same plane…

She is right there at 0200 for Trump’s maniac tweeting sessions.

0101

Because Trump told Natalie she is prettier when she smiles. Now she grins like a lunatic all the time.

Iinfluence? Hell, the new Province of Cascadia is ready to make the leap!

It will work up until SCOTUS knocks it down… after the election… when it is too late…

He’s been “developing” that “truly great healthcare plan” since 2016. So far it consists simply of giving some of your tax dollars back to you so you can pay inflated medical costs without the benefit of insurer negotiated rates.

000

That plan worked out so well for Trump’s buddy and idol President Duterte. Assassinating his political opponents. www.icc-cpi.int/philippines/...

All the bad press about Natalie Harp’s great gigantic diaper bag, they offloaded it onto one of the junior aides.

So I wonder what is happening to freight shipments through BC to Point Roberts in WA, which faces similar challenges.

This is a great position for MAGA to hold for the midterms “you fuckers are all morons, prices have actually gone down and you are a bunch of whiners”. They should def double down on this message. Gas is actually $2 per gallon, cheaper than ever. Health care is much more available and affordable.

011

Saudi Arabia’s intervention in Yemen over the past 12 years has been just as successful as our intervention in Afghanistan. Let’s get some more! So much for “no new wars”. Trump has started the next “20 year war” already.

071

>> “Electrifying a fleet at this scale requires vehicles that can perform the work our robust operations demand…” So they went to a new startup? You would think the successful Amazon purchase of >40k electric work vans from Rivian would provide the roadmap. Instead, they are trying the USPS route…

000

Those American stupid enough to believe that Trump is going to hand them free money, despite him failing in the past (tariff rebate, DOGE dividend)? They were going to vote for him a third time anyhow, even though they have to stop on the way to the polls to spend $300 to fill their F350 pickups.

Sunshine protection act does the opposite… they get to keep DST… it allows states to stay on “daylight savings time” year round… something CA/OR/WA have wanted for years… and BC just established. Current federal law allows year round “standard time” (hello Arizona), but not“savings time”.

080

John Carmack, Commander Keen, Castle Wolfenstein 3D, the wild and wolly frontier days…

Just delaying until after the midterms… no matter how much it costs…

Trump as always is making up numbers.

Natalie Harp, move over. The Presidents last GF is back!

He is like an exaggerated caricature of a soldier. Watching him in action is like watching SNL.

He definitely acts like a junior LT.

100

No, you aren’t really wrong. His career confuses me despite my 20 years active duty. He wasn’t promoted to major until he left active duty and joined the ready reserves, and did nothing significant as major. But, O-4 is a junior officer (even active duty) and seldom learns strategy.

100

His last regular army assignment was as a 1LT, everything else was in the NG, where he wasn’t involved in leading troops. So… terminal 1LT.

Yes, the war is almost over, which is why we are deploying a third aircraft carrier to the gulf (last time that happened was 2003), and another Marine Expeditionary Unit. Totally the thing you do when you are days away from peace breaking out.

000

And compromised government systems to make the next theft easier.

040

The goal isn’t to make the military more efficient or lethal. The goal is to cull the military, leaving a private army loyal to Trump, and maximize profits of private firms beholden to Trump who give him a cut. The looting continues.

090

Ignoring the COVID plunge… those payrolls have fallen to 2015 levels.

The real solution to stopping making insurance companies wealthy? Single payer health care. The government sets negotiated rates and pays them. Cut out the middle man.

0101

Historically, those people without healthcare who pay doctors and hospitals directly without the benefit of costs negotiated by insurance giants do well…. /s Trump has no frickin clue how healthcare works. Every-time Iget a medical bill, and see negotiated rates, I feel bad for the uninsured.

Starting a war and selling weapons to both side is how billionaires make more billions.

061

When you consider that he has been repeatedly on the offender side of rape investigations, of course he sympathizes with the rapist and is cheering them on and hoping that they can escape justice. Since they don’t have a rich dad to buy their way out of trouble.

Cuddly mascots will definitely make up for losing your job, your daughter being subjected to AI generated revenge porn, your baby child staring in some AI pedo films, and your country sparkling WW3 because grok wants to go to war.

British army, circa 1785 “what does it take to conquer the world? Stand in line without breaking in any weather and fire three rounds a minute”.

“Even the white nationalists who we can count to support us are tired of spending $250 to fill up their F350 diesel pickup truck, and that’s a problem”. That is not the part that is a problem.
