We need to shift billionaires from jobs of any kind in government to jobs in manufacturing, mining and refining of materials. We won't burden them with expectations for high productivity, though. Based on their past contributions, we'll be lucky if they occasionally produce a usable toaster.

And doing it in public, which is the baffling part. Why would anyone expose their cowardice like that? Bill, you think you're so smart, but Trump is a hotelier: His whole schtick toward guests is being the affable, welcoming host. You were conned, dick breath, just like any mouth-breathing MAGA.

And I won't spend money at a business that sides with a racist president against my fellow Americans. Period.

His family tried so hard to warn us. 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦

Thought of the day…

Fidel Castro should've tried harder to lure the Rubio family back to Cuba. He could've used a propagandist/enforcer like Marco.

I mean, seriously people, this one is even dumber than Betsy DeVos—and that's saying something!

... and its release date is December 25, 2026. Merry Christmas, film fans!

"We now live in a country where making a payment to the ruler's slush fund lets you buy your way out of regulatory difficulty."

Serious question: Did Lil Marco undergo a lil lobotomy in order to get Trump to tap him for Secretary of State? When was the last time we had a SoS this ... inept? checked out? just plain DUMB?

Cory Booker has not run out of things to say yet. And they are things that must be said. Mad King Donald is fully as insulated from the consequences of his actions—and inaction—and reversals—as Queen Marie Antoinette. Pathological indifference did not end well for her. How will it end for him?

I never really hated anyone until Donald Trump exposed at least 40% of us as hateful people. Look at her: Blissfully unaware that Hitler didn't want "cripples" soaking up government resources and spoiling his image of Germans as super-humanly fit and healthy. And Trump feels the same way.

It's surprisingly easy to revive covid thriftiness. Nothing goes to waste; it's easier to live without certain things than you might think.

Once the Trump administration decides living prisoners are too expensive to feed, clothe and shelter, the "showers" and ovens will be next. Just like the fucking Nazis.

Donald Trump Has Dementia. Donald Trump Has Dementia. DONALD TRUMP HAS DEMENTIA—AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. "When we’re diagnosing dementia, what we need to see is a deterioration of someone’s own baseline of functioning. ... Trump was actually quite articulate [in the 1980s]. He spoke in ...

"The press really ignored the signs of Trump’s dementia and his mental illness ... But they kept hammering on the issue of age with Biden, and Trump was and is so much more cognitively impaired ... " And the cowards did this BEFORE Trump got back into office, when it was so much safer to be candid.

“Supreme Court sides with Constitution” It WAS a nice change from all the king-making.

When a dog begging at the table brings joy to your heart …

“We shouldn’t be afraid of this guy.” 👏👏👏 So get up off the floor, law firms, Ivies, quiet Democrats, REPUBLICANS—if you can’t prevail against a very unpopular president with mid- to late-stage dementia, you don’t deserve to be ranked among the best in your industry.

To be fair, Trump does tell the truth once in awhile, so it can be hard for slow thinkers to know when he’s lying. But betting your farm on him AFTER he nearly tariffed you into bankruptcy just six years earlier was sheer stupidity. The leopards will feast for years on your shocked, unhappy faces.

These are all perfectly plausible, but my money's on #3. Otherwise they'd've brought him back by now, with great fanfare, fake humility ("See? We can admit—and correct—our rare mistakes") and a handsome payoff with an NDA so he doesn't do #2.
