Evidence time changes are bad.

Might be the blowing-bubba thing

Now we know why Trump liked the name Big Beautiful Bill.

I doubt the DOJ copies are fully intact at this point.

Drove up into sequoia national park after charging up to 100% in Fresno. Wound up with 50% battery when we got there. Stayed a week. Left with about 40% & arrived at that same charger in Fresno with like 43% due to the regenerative braking.

Ha! “Plan”

His net worth is intrinsically tied to his Tesla shares. Tesla value is intrinsically tied to him being the CEO. Seems like he’s trapped to me. But he owns 15%+ of the vote, so he’s only gotta convince ~35% if 100% vote; probably significantly less.

They love a convert. Seems likely to be his plan.

USDA has money though right? So the cruelty & irresponsibility is manufactured by just the one side that actually has all the power.

Not so much gibberish as subterfuge.

“Here’s a link to a video where he says exactly what’s in the Canada ad, but since you won’t listen to it, it’s evidence that he didn’t say it.”

There’s a few competing bad reasons:
1) For domestic use
2) For international use
3) For enrichment of cronies

I think the people who’d cheer spending tax dollars that way, as Trump is, are disconnected from the reality of the largest part of the population.

The jokes a couple of months ago were “let them eat ballroom.” It’s the same type of expenditure to undo.

Fun is good

How bout all them wild text messages from the Young Republicans?!

Are you supposed to be the blue anon? Or is the list maker the blue anon?

More of a judgement on Trump, Abbott, etc.

We admire his trolling

Might be they keep showing pawpaw videos and he doesn’t know what reality is.

And John Fetterman

Beaten by the puppy bowl.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

And it will purchase no real favor. Every bit of groveling only buys temporary reprieve.

Chuck Grassley thinking about his political future. lol

Fighting off the woke mind virus is gonna be so hardcore!

I chose biographies of the presidents for my deep-dive learning. Currently on the second volume of Franklin Pierce by Peter Wallner. I expect to have real problems getting through the Teddy Roosevelt (Morris) and LBJ (Caro).

Doing things is ugh. I have the excuse of living ~30 miles from SF and its events, but I work there, so not really.

…pain as a crucible, but I think they are otherwise dissimilar. The first seeks to create pain and chaos it cannot predict to reach its goal; the second accepts pain, and is reactive to its reality, examining & informed by the past, it prefers a different path than the one that created the present

So the public’s past response informs the future, but there’s not really a comparison between choosing to suffer the worse leader and viola get better government, and refusing to bail out the bad leader, who’s been elected, so the consequences for that choice are felt. Both arguments see collective…

Some calamity upon Trump’s reelection was predictable and the political will to let the public suffer consequences is low.

Second, the close call of trump’s reelection in 2020 was based largely on the back of those stimulus checks & so was his rehabilitation to the point of reelection in ‘24.

No; but I think comparing the two is a fallacy.

First, exerting control over the future that there’d be no bailouts in the trump over Harris scenario ignores reality that should’ve been challenged in that argument. But I mostly see those who’d make the argument as unserious.
