I think he might be spinning out.

The funny thing about this to me is this means he really thought he cooked. Like he thought that speech was so good that watching will, like, move people or convince people. Just fully watched the tape of his doughy ass screeching about manliness to a room full of stone killers and went, 'nailed it'

On the flip side, this is why I say that corporate regulation would be easier than we think. Slap one big corp hard for election interferance or anti-trust or whatever and the rest will fall in line. They're not brave people. They're greedy cowards who have no loyalty to any person or thought.

Trump literally cannot operate unless he has all the power in an interaction. It isn't just he doesn't want to, he just seemingly cannot comprehend that people can tell him to fuck off. The notion that Canada or any other country simply doesn't have to do what he says is confounding him.

This is the least important part, but holy shit Trump has gotta be the worst negotiator I've ever seen. These countries want to trade with the US. Trading with the US makes them rich. He could probably get some concessions out of them just not total submission. This is easy shit.

VARNEY: Trump announced all trade talks with Canada have been cut off because of a fake ad showing Reagan badmouthing tariffs.

HASSETT: The president I'm sure has his reasons. Sometimes when you're frustrated a timeout is the right call. It's probably a good time to take a break.

If you're a former bigot who is genuinely reformed, you can just not run for public office. You are not entitled to be a US senator. Nobody is. You can just live a normal life. If you do run for public office, shit is probably gonna come up. Maybe have a better defense than, "Whoomst among us."

Oh, so then if it should be given the same protections as human speech is it similarly accountable for libel and defamation as a person would be?

I personally don't but I think most people care some. It's symbolic. People like their symbols. I doubt many are concerned about if Trump broke laws by demolishing it but just the act of taking a wrecking ball to a significant chunk of the white house is gonna be disliked.

do you think normies care about the East Wing being demolished?

I fucking hate Nazis, which includes hating their actions, philosophy, culture, regalia, and fucking stylistic choices.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect anyone I vote for to feel the same.

It's wild how cartoonishly evil they all are. Like Trump just said he loves the sound of demolition (of the white house, in this case) like he's a Captain Planet villain.

Full on mustache twirling would commence if any of them could grow facial hair.

I pretty much barely play triple A unless it's a title I've been really anticipating simply because it's usually a better dollar to hour investment to pick up whatever is on Steam sale or just a full price indie title.

Stone throwing does not justify an military response.

It's actually a common theme I notice with a lot of "reformed" folks. No shame. They present their prior acts and beliefs which were often extremely hateful as just a phase or the fault of how they were raised or whatever means they were never a bad person.

'A black lead' makes sense to most I think, but everything on here is seen through the lens of politics first.

They genuinely seem to think they would be warlords.

Okay, but forcing people to be physically present makes the managers feel powerful. Have you considered that?

They also used to be a lot better at it. The lies used to be plausible and deniable in a way where they could say they were technically telling a form of the truth or acting in good faith once exposed. Now it's just flagrant and easily disproven horse shit right out the gate.

From a business perspective, it absolutely can be. Sure Bezos could find the WP with his pocket change, but that is only as valuable to him as it's influence which is dropping.

He's basically EAing the paper that broke Watergate.

This man is so pathetic when he does his wishy washy bullshit. You can practically see him flop sweat. How did he ever get elected?
