They said Hitler was tamed by prison and Trump learned his lesson by impeachment. Just goes to prove stupidity is timeless.

A blast from the past ... or the future.

The whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Warmed over bullshit is not merely a stale imitation of the original, but a fresh deposit that compounds the methodological faults of the original. (Hardcastle et. al., Bullshit and Philosophy)

If the rich could hire other people to die for them, the poor could make a wonderful living. — Yiddish Proverb. a.co/fq7IQ4r

Mission impossible is trying to explain the economics of tariffs to people who think DEI crashes airplanes.

When free speech is equated with money (i.e., Citizens United) democracy is in grave danger and so is free speech. Musk and Zukerberg are running platforms that are little more than radicalization pipelines. a.co/a2bLvXI

Don't let the zombies eat your face or your lunch.

Folks, time to dust off the bullshit detector and get real focused.
