People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

like being the principal of a shitty high school, or working in I.T.

my cholesterol is fine, carnivore.

consider the source of the response, tho. MAGA acquaintances seem to believe in their hearts that he’s combating “fraud, waste and abuse” as we speak.

I know, flat taxes favor the wealthy, but… could this work? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/e...

Lol Trump wants a new Say No To Drugs campaign? I have an idea...

This is the intersection point between Muskian arrogance and idiot populism: The conviction that there’s an extremely simple solution for everything that, somehow, nobody else has ever noticed & that you via either genius or “common sense” have uniquely hit upon.

Sadly, few people realize that Elon’s megalomania stems from a severe inferiority complex due to his older brother being more popular than him in high school…

It's Trump's fourth week on the job and he's already taking a week-long vacation in Florida. Tell me more about how nobody gets anything done when they work from home.

Trump: "Show up to work in person like the rest of us ... they're not working. They're playing tennis, they're playing golf. (Trump has been at his house and golfing all week.)

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

This is my current understanding of the Constitutional order in the United States It is, needless to say, very bad

NEW --There's this guy in the executive branch who in less than a month has already spent NEARLY 11 MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money playing golf. Yet the whole thing has flown under the radar of the crack waste/fraud/abuse squad over at DOGE somehow. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

This database would give Musk detailed technical specifications of every system, detailed pricing and delivery schedules, and information on any confidential government investigations into every other U.S. defense firms. Conflict of interest does not get bigger than this.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

you know it’s going to be a solid medical appointment when there are buzzards perched on the roof.

As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.
