The Detroit Metro is facing enormous economic uncertainty in the coming year.

I figured the essential broken souls of this admin regarding all the woke stuff should be the focus of this particular thread. If it doesn't take off...well, it was an idea. FTR, i would say i am "woke" annoyed by some of the excesses and as a white dude I surely would benefit from a World in which only the straight, the gray templed, white dudes benefitted but...um, no. That's just stupid.

Oh Michael Corleone?

Could be the $1.4b was spent on terrorism or maybe sent to advertise for the Wisconsin supreme court case. https://bsky.app/profile/comprichard.nafofellas.com/post/3lkqxbui5zc2t https://electrek.co/2025/03/19/tesla-tsla-accounting-raises-red-flags-as-report-shows-1-4-billion-missing/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=electrek/magazine/Electrek

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in the company. Get out of there. The whole collateral damage argument is the same argument for federal employees. Until we get some measure of control over THAT by making Tesla shareholders suffer deeply we can't exert any measure of control over Musk. We must make having a Tesla worse than smoking in a neo-natal wing of a hospital. Its not legal to set fire to a car or damage a dealership. Just as it wasn't "technically legal" to assault the US Capitol on Jan6. Fine, let the drivers of said cars know how you feel about them. Treat them with disdain. Add some saliva to their paint job as you walk past. Place a nice letter in a Tesla owner's mailbox telling them they should get rid of the car. Tesla is fair game.

no argument. The other local broadcast that is full of oligarch-approved content are those local stations owned by Sinclair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group I don't see a Detroit station there but our big local ABC station in Washington is Sinclair and it is skewed to a happy narrative of Orange King good.

Watch any Fox local news broadcast even the ones in the DC and NYC markets and you'll see what the average idiot is fed and might even believe.

Have they neutered Adam Schiff with all their schoolyard name calling by now? He's pretty effective but...the tar may have landed unless i'm not mistaken. Really what they need is a "Man on a White Horse" like figure. That needs to be someone with Duckworth or Mark Kelly's record but with a hair more tv appeal and the ability to hold sway. Has that person been created for this moment? Reading what George Macdonald Fraser said about Gen Slim (considered among the best British generals ever) that and:

Klobuchar might be a good candidate. Is she young enough/dynamic enough?

If Carlos Pena and Jason Benetti are going to riff that flawlessly i'm here for it. I think those playoff run booths with all the guys were starting to have the similar energy as the Lions Dan Dickerson calls of the game videos. Which are amazing drama.

Good on TV is definite requirement. Either of the VA senators fit that? Is Tammy Duckworth that? She has a compelling story.

Schumer works out with those guys and thinks they are all good down under.

The opposition party needs to understand that the GOP is doing nothing in good faith.

I think Murphy is a possible candidate. He's been on the problem.

did she FAFO? By existing.

Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis could read the phonebook and it would be good watching. I'm down.

But how would he have fared at Kohima or Vicksburg?

we are def on that one. So good. My son and I are reading the books as well.

He's mentally imbalanced and taking more and more drugs. So, its really a question of what is the most irrational self-defeating thing he can do...he doesn't lack for imagination in this area.

bam...I just reminded myself to watch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People again.

The Wire is catnip for people in the investigative field. They don't make the crooks out to be infallible but they also learn from the moves the cops make. To quote Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (also a great series in this genre) everyone is a half-angel fighting a half-devil.
