Don’t threaten us with a good time, Steve.

Not since at least the Clinton years. The US doesn’t have a mainstream working class party.

Oh no!

Anyway…

I want him to keep threatening to run in ‘28. As long as daddy is saying he’s going to run, the sycophants who want to claim the throne won’t dare to run against him.

The Democratic candidate should be able to walk across the finish line (assuming we still have elections in 2028 and all that).

I have two bottles of champagne ready to go. 🍾

Believe it or not, this has something to do with China trade policy. He’s rambled before about China controlling rare earth magnets. I believe magnets were specifically called out in the first China trade ”deal.”

Someone has clearly told this doddering old fool that China produces most of the world’s rare earth magnets, and being stupid, he drew the conclusion that magnets = China = bad.

Stop this ride, I want to get off.

Walter Reed doctors asked the president to come in so they and their colleagues could try to understand how he’s in such amazing shape.

The sad thing is that I can actually imagine KKKaroline Leavitt saying that to the press.

I think your intuition is probably right, but also Amazon happened. You can get a grinder delivered to your house in a day or two for like $10. Nobody who cares about fresh-ground coffee is going to hesitate to invest in a grinder when it costs less than a bag of beans.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

They’ll just turn to something worse, like OAN, Newsmax, RT, Breitbart, or the Epoch Times. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of far-right media for them to consume.

The really wealthy families aren’t going to a Disney park either. Their kids have had passports since before they could walk, and the family is going to an exclusive foreign resort for a trip that costs more for a week than most folks make in a year.

The “ bUt hOw’s yOuR 401(K) dOiNg?” crowd from the first administration is remarkably silent these days. How unexpected.

At some point there would be a break, hopefully, in their Great Wall of ignorance and stupidity for some light to shine through.

There won’t be. The media that they consume will just tell them that Democrats or Mexicans or Muslims or trans athletes are to blame for their problems, and they’ll believe it.

I’m convinced that Trump only wants Greenland so that he has an even biglier piece of stolen land than Putin has with Ukraine. It’s all a tiny dick-measuring contest.

Putin realizes this fact and puts out a message like this to remind his subordinate (Trump) of his place.

What’s going on with the formatting here?

Trump is so thirsty for a Nobel Peace Prize it’s pathetic. Fortunately, he’s never going to get one.

The presence of Usha Vance, whose family has relatively recent experience with colonialism, is particularly gross to me.
