I played many an old benoni during the covid era because I would belligerently premove 1...c5 and then just deal with whatever the resulting position was...

It was an unhinged time for us all.

I hear what you're saying, and let's hope it has some kind of impact on those people, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Honestly, may ANYTHING be helpful at this point. We are truly not in a position to be picky.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

He's saying shit like "Trump wouldn't have won without me"

Like, yes, we know, that's why we're mad at you...

Or, "Trump didn't release the Epstein files because he's in them."

And you're like, right, no shit...

Tell us something we DON'T already know.

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.

It’s obvious that people were tipped off about Trump’s announcement and made a killing off it.

Crimes are being committed in broad daylight.

he wants to abolish the income tax and fund the government almost entirely through tariffs, thereby delivering the most regressive bonanza to the rich in the history of American taxation. He has said this many many times. He said it *at the announcement* and yet pieces like this just ignore it.

It’s very weird to me that in all the (genuinely comical) hermeneutic reading of Trump’s decision to annihilate the global trade system, no one actually quotes one of the major reasons he himself cites for it:

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER

Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania.

He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

I'd say it's more than "close to" but otherwise I agree.

"no modern administration has insisted on this standard before, & the idea that foreigners who are here on valid visas should live under fear that their every political opinion might become grounds for sudden incarceration in Louisiana or El Salvador is inhumane and close to un-American in spirit."

You see, the Trump Administration is losing court case after court case because judges, you know, lawyers, are applying the law.

Now, imagine what CORPORATE LAW FIRMS could do if they didn't voluntarily bend the knee like cowards and become complicit with Trump's agenda—a pox on all of them.
