Oh, man, you are gonna get so doxxed for stuff like this. And I’m gonna get so doxxed for hearting it.

Aw, man, and here he thought you were one of the good ones …

Sounds like the perfect pick to round up immigrants like dogs.

I don’t know … weren’t most of those firings and resignations due to gross competency? Who’s going to qualify on those grounds in this regime?

So Marco is not deranged, is what you’re telling us?

Which means Marco will do exactly what Trump, or more likely his inner circle, instruct him to do, and he will bring nothing he learned in Congress about diplomacy to bear.

I am actively rooting for that, but I’m not holding my breath, because Trump looks up to Elon because of his money, which is the only thing Trump respects, and I can’t see how Trump would ever walk from the relationship. If anything, Musk threatening to end the relationship from his side will get a desperate Trump giving Musk even more than he asks for to mollify him.

The real shot across the bow is how they will turn public schools into MAGA indoctrination camps, dialing back on academic schooling and leaning into performative patriotism and religiosity.

They could make it a lot a lot harder to do a filibuster—i.e., make senators stand on the floor and orate a la Mr. Smith like they did in the old days.

Between the protests and the Nazi flag wavers, January 20 could make Jan 6 look downright chaste, especially if they clash.

I really believe he will do everything he can to get us as close to eliminating vaccinations as he can manage to in this country. He may or may not be able to get them oulawed outright, but if he can’t, he can drive policy to make them so expensive that only the upper 1%—like he and his own family—will be able to comfortably afford them. Getting them removed them from coverage on insurance health plans would go a long way there.

Right. Americans don’t need to be able to quote Voltaire or know where Ubeki-beki-beki-stanstan is while they’re picking cucumbers in the field.

So, essentially, this was a wealth transfer program: Trump’s took the new tariffs he imposed and then transferred the money directly to multinational agribusiness corporations, not to be shared by anyone else in the chain—rather than either leaving the prices where they were and allowing consumers to pay less for farm products, or using the additional tax receipts from tariffs to pay for other government programs. Result: more money out of pocket of consumers going directly into the pockets of agribusiness for the same amount of goods. Slick.

Especially on inflation. Biden will have done all the heavy lifting, Trump will take all the credit, and every red hat will totally forget that they are still paying 25% more for everything than they did in 2020, the very thing they hammered Biden/Harris for.

I probably shouldn’t do this—probably a leftover from my loose cannon days—but lately when I see some of those fugly tesla trucks on the street, I make a show of pointing and laughing, such that the driver can’t miss seeing me.

Oh, yeah, I totally shoulda known that ... 😉

Kids: Just say no.

CW, the network? 😕

Yup.

I'm one of the few people who watched the Art Fleming Jeopardy a lot, particularly in the summer at noon on channel 4 ("WWJ-TV, The Detroit News"), and who is a regular viewer of the Ken Jennings Jeopardy, but who almost never watched the Alex Trebek Jeopardy. 🤷‍♂️

When I hear or see the word "mentee" instead of "protege".

Right, but also, the kicks were straight and true. No bend. The 58-yarder, you could see halfway it was going to pass as close to the inside of the bar without hitting it as possible. If there were a candle there, the breeze from the ball would have blown it out.

He should be at the top of the list well before the end of the 2027 season.

It might be more of a Twitter thing than an MTF thing. I’ve been able to post YouTube and TikTok links pretty seamlessly.
