Wait. There was a betting market on whether Trump would win the N0bel Prize? And the odds had him at >30% at one point?
Goddammit had I known I would have liquidated everything I own and taken that bet and retired. That's the closest thing to free money that exists in this world.

Don't be fooled. The only reason the USDA is barring Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland is that they want to be sure it is available for U.S. oligarchs to purchase on the cheap as the farms go into bankruptcy.

βUnconstitutionalβ: Two GOP Governors Slam Trumpβs Troop Deployments
Republican governors are finally calling out Donald Trump for using the National Guard to take over American cities.
VT Governor, βWe need stability right now in this countryβwe donβt need more unrest.β¦ I donβt think our guard or the military should be used against our own people. Itβs unconstitutional unless, of course, thereβs an insurrection, like we saw Jan. 6 a few years ago.β π

a man is holding a wombat in his arms while wearing a bjp shirt
Alt: Czech professional mixed martial artist Jiri Prochazka is kissing a wombat he has in his lap.
There's nothing I don't love about WOMBATS, from their curmudgeonly mannerisms to their armored, bony butts (that protect them from predators when they're head-first in a burrow).
But we should talk about their cubic poop & how it gets that way.

"Under Biden, America was at least going to get a piece of the high-tech industries of the future. Trump is just handing them all to China on a silver platter, destroying the next generation of jobs for MAGA regions, while also taking their health insurance and hospitals."
