I understand why people believe Trump’s invasion of Washington DC is The Event but I think it’s more helpful to understand it as dialing up the heat on the boiling frog. Trump did this in LA. He’ll do it in D.C. with more boldness. And then he’ll do it again. Fascist takeover is never one event.

If you're part of the National Guard deploying to an American city for anything but disaster relief tomorrow, you are in open violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, your oath to the Constitution, and are following an illegal order of an illegitimate criminal impersonating the President.

My thoughts exactly

You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?

You have no real understanding of how bad this reads.
Line 1 "rich people like me" is the comment style of an oblivious bubble-dweller.
You should be doing all of these things already, and telling your rich friends to start being ethical, instead of bitching.

Why do interviewers not rip him up one side and down the other?

Merit = White and Facist

Looking at the UK and US governments and media right now, the answer has to be "yes, and majorly wrong".

The more Cuomo attacks Mamdani in a pathetic attempt to stay relevant, the more I understand all the sexual abuse charges against him.

This is the height of white male entitlement.

He doesn’t know when to stop.

He doesn’t understand the word “No”.

He can’t accept defeat.

They're breaking my heart...

democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either

- nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks

- concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life

literally the only 2 options

It's like watching a worse re-make of the Dot-com era.

The plutocrats are surrounded by sycophants who reflect their propaganda back at them, and Joe at the bar found those guys online who agree that Biden was indeed a shapeshifting pedophile lizard sent by the New World Order, and Donald Trump is the second son of God.

This is the sort of junk legislation that erodes respect for the law.

The comments on this thread crack me up.
Most of you seem to want instant gratification by page 2 of a book that is usually hundreds of pages long?
Why don't you just read the last few chapters and forget the rest of the book?
Pure laziness.

They cannot make that work. They have no damn clue how smart adolescents are.

Distancing is not enough. The DHS stole their intellectual property and branding. They should be talking to their lawyers. The optics look terrible, especially when the only leading figure in the sport to speak out properly is their only Mexican driver.

Pato O'Ward was very unhappy about it.
Unfortunately there are drivers like Josef Newgarden and Graham Rahal who should have known better than to cosy up to fascists.

NASCAR's gain is Indycar's loss. She is a racer who will drive anything.

Who made that jackshit bullshit claim?

They love anything that they think annoys the libs.
Bunch of juveniles.

I have to think that this was deliberate. The offensive, triumphalist racism of the White House is on display every day.

I wondered why Jumbo disappeared from Max Verstappen's helmet after 2023.
Now I know why.

No mention of the number of visitors recently detained, in some cases for weeks, or the planned $15k visa fee?
This media outlet does not even rise to the level of bird cage liner.

I doubt that there will be many foreign visitors apart from the teams, drivers and media.
Why would anybody from Europe risk being deported and/or arrested?

I suspect that Cook would argue that his primary duty is to Apple stockholders, so anything that reduces the cost of Apple doing business is the correct thing to do.
Where his and Apple's ethical compasses disappeared to is a whole different line of enquiry.

I remember Lewis Hamilton, chasing Lando Norris in the British Grand Prix, coming on the radio saying "that McLaren's a rocketship, man".
A harbinger of things to come.

“It’s from Daddy. He sends his love & says all is fine in Spain. He’s had to go on a little ‘holibob’ because a man accidentally ran into his hand at St Pancras Station the other day. He wants you both to be good children & if anything goes wrong to keep blaming it on the Muslims.”

So...they are only winning because they have the fastest car?
I never thought of that...

It is Bernie being Bernie. He always likes to stir the pot from time to time.
