Boeing man... when is it time for the intervention? Maybe GM and Microsoft can organize some of their friends and loved ones, arrange a limo to be waiting downstairs, have some of their peer corporations on video chat and have them say: 1. “I love you.” This statement isn’t limited in how many times you should use it. The act of an intervention should begin and end with love. ... 2. “I forgive you.” ... 3. “I’m here for you.” ... 4. “I’m concerned about how your substance use has affected both you and the people around you.” ... 5. “I believe treatment is a strong first step for you.”

Yes, we need Trump to be Trump! Free DJT to speak out about how his campaign team is backstabbing him! Lies, assassins everywhere! Nobody to trust Donald! Beware, even of your money-grubbing leech children. Except the blond one who looks like....Mother!

Never underestimate hubris of the candidate. Or, that the Lacivatas Wiles team might decide that their client is too dangerous, and they need to sabotage him by allowing him to make dumb decisions.

So, you want to see a reaction to public confidence in Trump winning a second term?

More criming from the criminals.

Vladdie making moves in NK and Vietnam. Hopefully the latter is more performative. Was hoping Vietnam would join the anti-Xi coalition more aggressively. Russian and India seemingly still being more warm than India's recent hostility to China would indicate.

Lots of polling movement for Biden since the trial ended and Trump started going out and ranting and raving.

My company was beyond weird about this one. “Spend the day contemplating the reasons for it” That could mean a lot of things.

They must be terrified of all the gun violence

The Contras or the Sandanistas?

Who doesn't love a hard-working jerk?

While true...the Russia angle with her is pretty obvious, who else would be a fan of Asad's regime who had no religious affinity with Asad (not too many Alawites in Hawaii I would imagine).

NOT THIS CRAP again Man, when can we get to a place where the drama subsides?

Question: is Hawaii's own Tulsi Gabbard a tankie?

I love "tankie" for the Leftwing horseshoe types.

If you had to assess....is this Tigers team (2024) and organization (beyond 2024) on the right track? Broken 1-1 pick does not help my feels.

Yes

Well, the GOP sure doesn't want good government anymore.

Good empowered IGs make for good-ish government which makes for stable and secure economics.

Rent-seeking is the truth. the "pure market" is the joke.

The socialist system has a problem with this phenomenon as well. When state owned enterprises or quasi SOE companies are at risk due to stupid decisions or just the way technology and society evolve, the government steps in because they don't want to unduly risk all the jobs. It was the sickness of 1970s Britain that required Thatcher's shock therapy. In those scenarios they were worried about the overweighted votes of the union leaders. Now, to keep it real, the US does not have that problem at all in any sectors except sports and entertainment. E.g., If a union of nurses were to fight a labor action to keep a hospital open, people would laugh and jeer at the ridiculous nurses.

They also buy those products at Walmart, hate people of color and immigrants. We shouldn't listen to people like that.

NYT is so f'd
