What's Trump doing while the government is shutdown? Somehow, Trump managed to double the size of Trump's Argentina Bailout. Big money for Argentina while Americans lose their benefits and federal workers get furloughed. Trump's Argentina Bailout

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 2d

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country."

Really?

Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.

No, they think GQ isn't liberal. They stated it very clearly, weird you couldn't interpret it.

Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?

There are the Tumblr “Nickstorians” and sincere fanfics. But are young, liberal, possibly irony-poisoned women fetishizing or even falling for the hard-right streamer with the “groyper” following? Wri...

There are not hostages on both sides. Hamas took hostages; in response Israel unleashed an indiscriminate campaign of civilian murder.

What happened *today* is that Hamas released the hostages, so it worth noting that if Israel has not unleashed this campaign, more hostages would be alive.

I didn't say there were hostages on both sides, dumbass. Learn to read.

The unique thing that happened to fat is that the hostages were released, dum dum. That's why the hostages who died merits comment.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

What a stroke of luck that the extraordinary measures Pritzker must take to combat this unique and unprecedented threat just happens to be a laundry list of generic lefty policies that you favor.

We have to do that to bureaucrats too. Even "innocent" ones. Threaten them now. Make them cross-pressured rather than let them think they have no choice. Put them in a dilemma.

I was only interested in the Daft Punk soundtrack, which didn't work out to well... but I suspect Nine Inch Nails will make something listenable.
