One of the funniest scenes in a movie. I’ve see “Hell or High Water” about four times and each time, this scene gets me laughing out loud. The dialogue is funny, the timing impeccable.

@stellanis.bsky.social What tone-deaf executive ok’d the “Jeep: The Most Patriotic Brand” commercial?
None of the senior executives served in the US Armed Forces. It’s not even an American owned brand.
Do you think we are so stupid that we cannot tell when you lie to us?

In 2017, at the end of his first 100 days in office, Donald Trump made a political appearance at a manufacturing plant in Michigan, touting his economic plans.
In 2025, he had to find a new place to hold his rally. The company has closed its (American) doors and moved to China.
That’s winning.

As you may recall, Trump golfed a lot during his first term, over 261 rounds of golf, costing American taxpayers over $180 million.
We deserve so much better.

The schadenfreude regarding Elon Musk is strong.
I don’t know who else connected the dots; Musk bought Twitter with Tesla stock and borrowed money. I expect that the terms on some of the borrowed money was a one year note, so Elmo had to sell X to another company he owned to generate capital.

When is DOGE going to investigate SpaceX? SpaceX 8 made a “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” which a wag on Reddit decided to shorten to RUDE.
But since SpaceX receives government funds and subsidies, I think they are ripe for investigation.

It’s clear to me now that Donald Trump, in his term of office, wants to turn America into the kleptocracy that Russia is.
The strategic minerals deal is just a way to allow his backers to skim money off the top.
He will privatize parts of the government and grant no-bid contracts.

Progressives and moderates in America need to identify a strong leader, a face of the Democratic Party. They need to do it now.
That person needs to be, IMHO, a veteran, with combat experience. They need to have had senior leadership roles.
They need to stand up and call Trump a liar.

Which begs the question of just how drunk do you need to be to be “too drunk” for SWA.
Good news is that he was busted by TSA.
