That part of the movie was cut, sadly! Glad youโ€™re bringing it back!!

But what if the sales tax was collected before the stuff youโ€™re buying even gets to the store? You could call itโ€ฆ a tarriff. And itโ€™s out of the hands of Congress.

Yes, Republicans are replacing income taxes with sales taxes so the poor and middle classes get whacked while the president plays golf.

Republicans have salivated over replacing income taxes with sales taxes forever - poor people spend all of their income buying things, while wealthy people have piles of excess money to invest and save, so itโ€™s a massive transfer of the tax burden onto the working class. Economic warfare.

I canโ€™t help but expect that Trump is just waiting for his โ€œReichstag is burningโ€ excuse. Did Chuck know that republicans were going to use a govโ€™t shutdown as an excuse? We might not know now but maybe someday.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Vance and Trump wouldn't have lasted two seconds in Zelensky's position after the invasion. What fucking assholes and what a disaster for our country.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Menโ€™s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

โ€œโ€ฆin New York or London.โ€ Are those even close? I would imagine NYC has car ownership rates many times higher than London, sadly.

Wow, go watch right now. Trump is having a shocking narcissistic meltdown. Over Ukraineโ€™s future. Heโ€™s making it about Hunter Biden. Itโ€™s about the Vice President whining about Ukraine not thanking Trump for putting them in such a difficult position. Totally disgusting, totally childish.

First measles death in the USA in a decade. Making Diseases Great Again! Anti-vaxxers and anti-science MAGAland bringing back preventable illnesses. That didnโ€™t take long.

I definitely feel like their response to being carjacked at gunpoint with kids in the back seat is โ€œExcuse me, I believe this is contrary to various state and local statutes.โ€

Here are the routes I flew for work in 2024. This year was a low-water mark for us for travel, less than even 2020. There were some reasons: I was in training for the 777 for a month and then on reserve as a junior captain, and they just plain (plane?) didnโ€™t need me to cover much!
