This journal article is the only analysis I've seen that gives a convincing account of why poor Americans shifted their voting patterns from Democrat to Republican over the last couple of decades that doesn't rely on a base assumption of "cos they're stupid".

Latest headline: "Trump's approval rating on the economy hits record low 31%"

America... you've got a problem. 31% of your people still think Trump is doing a good job on the economy.

Maybe shutting down the Department of Education wasn't such a great idea.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

George F. Will from the Washington Post wins the 'Oscar Wilde Award for Understated Snark in Journalism' with this gem of an opener:

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement."

This prophetic little earworm by Denis Leary, from back in 1993, highlights just how long the seeds of MAGA have been festering in the American psyche. We should revive it for protests - imagine the crowd outside the Whitehouse singing "A, S, S, H, O, L, E! "

The biggest scam of capitalism is making us forget that corporations are something that we just made up, and that they have no rights, powers, or even existence, other than that which we give them.

And this, my friends, is why capitalism is never going to solve the environmental crisis.

TLDR: Big Pharma wants to make ALL the money. Upstart little country makes rules to stop B.P making so much money that lots of their people die. B.P calls their bestie, Trump, to fix the problem. Upstart country now has squillions of dollars of tariffs on it's exports to the USA.

Because my sense of humour is permanently stuck at age 13, there is an extremely NSFW Trump meme in the comments.
The text is "Bubba says Quiet Piggy!

America is the richest country on the planet! Why the fuck are there 22 million Americans who need food stamps anyway???

You'd think companies could cope with a little less 'maximising shareholder value' so people could afford to eat the food in their own country without government subsidies.

Canada's ad had the real Ronald Reagan bagging the idea of tariffs back in 1987. Trump's petulant, mad-king response:
“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

Just waiting for him to respond to some new affront with:
"OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!"

Dear Anonymous,

It looks like the government is never going to release the Epstein Files. So... do you reckon you'd be able to get them for us? We'd really appreciate it.
