Of this you can be certain:

If Democrat lawmakers treated Republican voters the way Republican lawmakers are treating Democrat voters there would already be gun battles in the streets.

This simple fact is *the* reason they're doing what they're doing. Because they know they can.
So we now know that Trump has taken the Montreal Cognitive Assessment *three times* ("once being very recently!").

Which means we also know that his medical team has noted evidence of cognitive decline. This test is not given to neurologically typical patients.

It’s so much fun, reading the opinions of people about things they don’t understand.
I cannot stress enough how the AI thing is just blockchain again. It has some uses, yes, but they're not actually general purpose ones. The bubble is going to burst and it's going to be so bad and like all cons, it's going to leave a few people rich and the rest FUCKED OVER.
A great deal of AI hype is coming from con artists who understand exactly how much easier it’s going to be to use the same cons over and over once they achieve their dream of a world in which nobody understands how anything 1) works or 2) has ever worked.

One must wonder if the day will ever come that the NYT just says "fuck it, we're not gonna prop up this loser anymore".
Trump post just now. He’s mad about Sleepy Trump jokes. But get a load of this:

He calls for the New York Times to “cease publication.” He says the newspaper is “seditious, perhaps even treasonous.”
“They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it.”

I just saw a long-ass commercial for Hillsdale College and I'm tellin' ya these people need to fuck allll the way off.

This is hysterical.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.”
P: “Should they vote?”
F: “No.”
PIERS: “They should stay home?”
FUENTES: “Yeah.”
PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?”
FUENTES: “No.”
PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Trump: I screwed you just like I said I would. Here's some mailbox money from actual taxpayers.
Every real economist in America warned at the time Trump was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor.

This is all happening because of one man.
Trump announces $12 billion aid package for farmers caught up in trade war
President Donald Trump has imposed shifting tariff policies on most countries, while pushing to reshape relationships with China and other major trade partners.

Because when you're fat, orange and stupid, "lawnmower" = "farm equipment" and all of it is a mystery.
Trump on John Deere: "We're gonna say, 'you're gonna reduce the prices.' They're gonna have to reduce their prices. Because farming equipment has gotten too expensive ... in many cases, you need about a 185 IQ to turn on a lawnmower."

DOT / FAA announce Peraton as prime integrator for "Brand New Air Traffic Control" (BNATC).

Peraton has done some work with the FAA, but nowhere near as much as the selection's runner-up, Parsons.

When you're in the water, the two things are the same thing.
NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

We should absolutely encourage Trump to do this. 😂

While everyone is talking about the Post Office "losing" $9B last year, let's remember that the Department of Defense "lost" 100x that in 2024.

This is effectively a VAT. And it's what all those "Euro-commies" do. Point that out to him and he'll lose interest.
