So joyous. The Honmoon is strong.
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

This is what you say when it happened under Trump.
REPORTER: Can you clarify the timeline of when the suspect was granted asylum?

500 soldiers won't be with their families on Thanksgiving because Pete Hegseth is a little bitch.
Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

I know very little about economics but it seems kinda bad 50% of the US economy is just companies hoping AI turns out to be something everyone should be invested in. It's giving major "internet bubble" vibes I wonder if the Pets.com puppet would agree.
