Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Convincing wide swaths of the American public that he's a business wizard and magical dealmaker rather than a giant man-baby who fails upward at basically everything he does is one of the greatest myths Trump ever sold.

I don't think there is a single topic where the gap between reality and the median American's opinion is larger than the question of Donald Trump's business acumen

The government was never intended to run like a business, but rather to provide a better quality of life for its people. Not everything has to turn a damn profit.

There's just something all the more satisfying anymore about going to the venue box office for a ticket to a show knowing you'll not only fuck over Ticketmaster and save some money but also have a physical stub from the gig.

This ran around the time of America's Bicentennial in 1976. Us Gen X'ers well remember Schoolhouse Rock as animated shorts ("I'm only a Bill" anyone?) played during the beloved ritual of Saturday morning cartoons on TV. And this slogan deserves new life now.

Expect more. Any perceived limit on his unquenchable id is gone. The Presidency is now entirely about him, not our country or his oath to it. He sees it as his divine right to grift, self-promote and otherwise sell us out for his gain.

Whereas the wink for a bondage fetishist is that the violence, the control, isn’t real, here the wink is that it is. The facelessness, the wordlessness of it, combined with “The White House,” gives you no choice but to imagine the fascist’s pleasure. This was made to invade our minds.
