This is why you don’t quit congress.

Your vote would have meant something.

Now you’re just a guy.

This the comparison I think of:

The Ming Dynasty abruptly ended its major naval explorations, led by Admiral Zheng He, in 1433. The court destroyed records, banned the construction of oceangoing vessels, and adopted an isolationist policy to focus on internal security.

If Venezuela and Iran had both just admitted they stole the elections and Trump actually won, none of this would have been necessary.

Trump may not appreciate Hegseth’s actions.

There’s only room for one person who can destroy the economy with the stroke of a pen.

THE THREE LAWS OF AI
(changes in CAPS)

(1) AI CAN injure a human or allow a human to come to harm through ACTION OR inaction; (2) AI must obey human orders, NO MATTER WHAT; (3) AI must protect its own existence, unless it conflicts with the Second Law.

If you were a teenage millionaire because of the size of your allowance, you’d probably grow up feeling pretty entitled too.

They kill the ‘public‘ golden goose, but not necessarily the ‘private’ one.

The oligarchs who push this stuff plan to be the last oligarch standing and thus recipient of the most golden eggs.

Who cares about the rest of us?

He will try for everything he can get and test every limit.

We don’t even need to hear him threaten it to know it’s true.

Our job is to prepare for everything. It’s that simple.

Does “very innocent” mean 90% innocent or just more than 50%?

Not just economics, but that would be a good start.

The core problem is that trust in institutions has been demolished. That was intentional.

No one can be an expert in everything.

So find reliable experts, and trust them.

FYI. That’s why I follow Justin Wolfers, and others

I’m sure glad we elected people who respect free markets and don’t want to control ‘the means of production’ like those socialist-loving democrats do.

🎩 The question isn’t did Donald Trump rape children

He did 💯

The question is are we going to let him get away with it? 🇺🇸

It used to be ‘guns or butter’

Now it’s ‘guns or healthcare’.

In 1971 I lived in Braunschweig, West Germany, which was near the border with East Germany.

Consequently, I got to watch ‘patriotic’ Russian/East German TV programming.

Let me tell you. It’s nothing but a bunch of lying crap.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Stellantis workers go off on $0 profit sharing: 'We're getting screwed' "The hard work of UAW members across the United States is not to blame," wrote Rich Boyer, a union vice president over the Stellantis Department.

Two years ago, autoworkers at Stellantis (the company that makes Jeeps, Ram trucks & Dodge work vans) paid its hourly workers $14,000 in profit-sharing checks.

For 2025, the profit-sharing was: $0

Unwinding the EV transition & tariffs cost the company.

Bigly.

Would have been fun to see one of them hip check him though.

He’d have hit the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Congress is an equal branch of government, but if they’re not in charge of taxes or spending, then the only power left to them is the power to declare war.

Oh, right.

Unfortunately, Tillis is the exception that proves the rule: the Senate GOP has abdicated all responsibility, and is in the tank for Trump.
