Why didn't the Democratic party negotiate for some changes in the bill? It seems like they had some leverage they could have used.
GOP: "We love Elon Musk!"
Musk: "Buy a Tesla from me."
GOP: "We love combustion engines more!"
Calling it the Tesla Chainsaw Massacre is the funniest thing I've heard today. Yet. I mean, it's early.
I worked in the government. The corruption isn't the government employees. It is the contractors who try and get as much profit out of each contact as they can by over promising and under delivering. That's what we have IG and GAO
I haven't been a civilian for long, but it's becoming clearer that y'all's medical process is somewhat lacking and from now on comparison to military medical should show the insurance process to be inferior to, well, anything
Let's google, "How dumb is JD Vance?" until it trends.

Tesla is falling
And Space-X is exploding
Musk is uh ohing
Lakers lost to Celtics. And that's my point. The Mavs were not going to beat Boston anytime soon. The trade makes sense, getting AD was a good add, and then getting Christie was even better. C'mon MFFL, let's get onboard the Christie train. #MFFL
The guy thrown out of the speech last night, Al Green, might be my new hero - looking at his past speeches -

If everybody goes onto google and searches for "Trump High prices", enough where that starts becoming the "most searched", then it should force a response to a topic being avoided
Creo que nuestros hijos verán nuestro comportamiento en estos tiempos a través de nuestros escritos, y podrán juzgar nuestro corazón basándose en lo que decimos y hacemos.
I am reading the sort of biography of Eric idle, and he mentions that he likes Americans because they are brave. Maybe we are great again when we stop worrying about being called great, and just do the right thing because it's the right thing to do
Why are so many reporters still on twitter? Why are so many major league sports still on twitter? My elected officials are spurning me, but perhaps I can convince reporters and sporting figures to migrate to bluesky
Saw a bumper sticker saying "Are We Great Yet?". I think this is my new response.
Blue team... Let's tilt at windmills.
Some of you are my age. Remember when Nixon was elected, and tried to normalize relations with China and Russia? And started the idea of "New Federalism"? And started the era of "Stagflation"? Looks like what's old is new again.
When it comes to policy, Amy Klobochar and Pete Buttigieg are the two smartest people in the room (or country). Both are on bluesky and both should have followers in the millions so that we can learn how the government is supposed to run.
I'm a Mavs fan for life. I have not stopped watching the Mavs play just because of the Luka trade. And, the games have been stellar. Max Christie might be the best player in that trade. Fun to watch. And, does not seem to miss plays while arguing with the refs.
Guilty as charged. I've been away from the rower for too long now. Back on it today.
Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups
I would pay for an extension in Google maps that would allow me to rename anything I wanted. I mean, I wouldn't pay much.. a couple of bucks.
This might sound horrible, but it was a lot of fun. I had someone on FB troll me. I was polite, and asked them to DM me instead. They did. They sent a very long rant about their support of the current administration. I used deepseek to respond, asking for biblical references. It. was. awesome.
She did not get one of the NYT connections correct. #NYT

I hope that every country is watching, and when they see the negative impact of the far right, cooler heads prevail and globally we see a return to normalcy.
Is it weird that my great hope tonight for the Super Bowl is that Philadelphia fans boo the President?
