W need to arm Ukraine to the hilt. Sanctions are mildly successful. Russia's economy is in vad shape and nearly fully militarized. They can't negotiate- unless its a big deal that "encourages" them to revamp their economy and integrate it into the world

9/11 is still too close and real. The 1st humor about the Nazis was here, 20 years later (Mel Brooks) and it wasn't necessarily well received.

Joking about 9/11 exhibits the same kind of disrespect for lived experience that all of you abhor in Trump and MAGA

The WH didn't get a "failed policy" with Musk.
They got exactly what they really wanted, at any cost: the destruction of the administrative state

Preparing people for jobs is not the job of college. Thats the job of some graduate schools or for public primary and secondary schools- which the GOP has railed against and underfunded for 40 years.
Don't put this on colleges.

Trump's decline, as is often the case with mental decline, emphasizes their essential traits.
In this case, it is the utter emptiness of this 'person'.
It was covered over for years by idiotic antics of a bully.
