We survived the first 4 years because he had semi-reasonable people around him. COVID wasn't handled perfectly, and he said some crazy things, but that situation would have tanked anyone. This time, Steven Miller is busy running the country while he drools in front of the television. Not good.

Keyboard warriors count now, I guess.

I think he'll appreciate the irony here. There could never be a more appropriate venue for this song.

The makeup and hair dye are toned down and a few months ago the campaign controlled the lighting. He already looked like shit a year and a half ago when this was taken.

They won't even admit that. They'll blame their woes on whomever Charlie Kirk etc tell them to blame. It will not be Trump.

He's going to be almost 90, fam.

They'll struggle to land any candidate with multiple white shoe firm offers.

They'll have zero problems hiring, but they'll be dipping slightly deeper into the pool. People who wouldn't have normally gotten that kind of opportunity (95% plus of graduating 3Ls) won't hesitate to jump on that.

I have the same mix!

The people who support this movement will trust the teevee talking heads and social media influencers who tell them that their pain is caused by democrats and "Soros/Rothschild globalists." There is no cause for optimism.

To finish his thought, it's a transition from good to bad.

Not to mention, throughout the Cold War we were responsible for 50% or more of NATO funding. Now it's 16%. Donald's whining never gets tagged with that context. If Reagan had thought like Trump, the Berlin Wall would have fallen the other way.

Only if you pay someone else to actually write it.

Musk, who averages 151 shitposts on Twitter per day, has appointed himself the arbiter of how productively other people use their time. It would be hilarious if it weren't going to hurt a lot of people.

Rand is wrong about one thing. Tariff lovers won't have to explain anything, unfortunately. Race, gender and sexual identity will continue to be used to keep the working and middle classes divided, and Trump's base united in rage.

Hard limit on "explosives" as well, please.

They're opening one in Shrewsbury MA!

Cash for clunkers. It works at the plant level and the operators can be retrained. The company I'm with is involved in a number of ongoing conversion projects. The bigger issue is mining. There's no natural transition into something else for them.

2017 was a rough year for Pete. Having to pay off a sexual assault while dealing with his mistress being pregnant and his wife divorcing him. Family values!!

The best part will be when she flips her lid on Harriet Hageman coming in to use it.

This is working really well. Threads tried too hard to not be what was needed with Twitter going to shit when it stopped content moderation and promoted toxicity.

How do you even fight with "cope and seeth," "cry harder lib" or any of the other blue check cliches? And he stacks them all at the top of every conversation too because they give him money. It's insufferable.

Losing the long snapper totally shifted the momentum. Every position matters.

Wishful thinking. Senators are only accountable to primary voters in most states, the most extreme and engaged. Trump, Elon and Charlie Kirk will tell those people who to blame, and it won't be the cabinet.

They're obligated to produce returns for investors. And feeding confirmation bias draws an audience.

The best thing about that event is that it provided an easy counterpoint to edgelords who still use the "women's sports are boring" take. Everyone saw those fights.

Telling people what they want to hear, in order to farm engagement. The election was stolen! Trump wasn't shot! It's fucking awful and counterproductive.

The women's fight was worth it and more. In spite of the questionable outcome.

You took my main, this is my backup. Same era. Clancy Brown was great.

They're just getting more toxic. And because of the blue check boost he put in place in the interim, it's impossible to avoid the worst of the worst.
