One of these days it's going to be a prank call from Psycho Steve and Benzo Bobby, the WFUN-FM Morning Zoo Crew, pretending to be Putin and Xi. And he will fall for it.

One of two hopes. We're already seeing the other too: that evil will be mitigated by incompetence.

Deputy was saying he wasn't looking forward to the experience. His dear friend decided it would be funny to sneak his own taser out of its holster under the table and shock his good buddy in the balls. Blew him backward out of his chair, thrashing on the restaurant floor during the lunch rush.

Around that time, maybe a little earlier, sheriff's deputies in the rural Kentucky county next to mine were getting tasers. Training required them to get tased. Deputy met his "buddy," a local city cop, for lunch at a catfish place. City cops already had tasers.

Also poverty is not static. You can have a good job, buy a nice phone, lose your job and still have the phone.

I'm not so sure. We've had that lesson in various forms many times before, but the next generation that didn't experience it firsthand always has to re-learn it.

For 2,000 years he's been hiding in the basement?

Except the toilets. Nobody, NOBODY, wants to hear what will happen in there.

True, but a lot of that loss is attributable to Stalin's military incompetence and his 1937 decapitation of the Red Army.

Especially given Trump's public contempt for the U.N.

"Gold rush" for mega-corps that happen to already own deep-sea mining ships. And their billionaire stockholders. No one else.

So the existence of sci-fi cons *proves* that Star Trek and Star Wars are nonfiction!

The short timeline may be part of the plot. Get Congress to abdicate one more responsibility, allowing Trump to do all deals himself. Mike Johnson would do it.

How to tacitly admit you've never had to have an actual job, much less done manual labor.

Maybe he's dying.
No, seriously. He's almost 79 and lives unhealthily. Maybe he knows he's not going to last four more years.
But like a Bizarro FDR, instead of using his last strength to assure our triumph, he's determined to wreak as much havoc as he can, knowing he'll escape the consequences.

In the tradition of Four Seasons Total Landscaping, I'm surprised Rudy didn't show up at the New York Stock Yard.

And the trolls are blaming it on "open borders," despite it spreading first in an American Mennonite community.

Brown-Forman, which owns both Jack Daniel's and bourbon distillers, is based in Kentucky. It did lay off about 700 ... but in January, due to a general slowdown in demand, not the current trade war.

Jack Daniel's is made in Moore County, Tennessee. Bourbon (which Jack Daniel's is not) centers on Nelson County, Kentucky.
Moore went 84% for Trump, while Nelson was 70% for him. So inaccurate, but the gist is correct for both.

No surprise at all. As in most careers, rank usually comes with seniority. The older and more comfortable you are, the more likely to fall out of touch.
It's the same with Republicans. But in the GOP, living 80 years in the past is a feature, not a bug.

To them, that simply means "not forcibly imposing Christian fundamentalism."

There are a few in the lege, but they're so outnumbered that the GOP can smugly ignore them.

Probably the Walmington-on-Sea platoon of the Home Guard. They'll get the job done somehow.

Time says, and always has, that PotY recognizes whoever "for better or worse" has had the biggest impact. It's not approval.

Slapping "tactical" on any useless or common item is the way to get yahoos to buy. I have seen an ad for "tactical underwear."

Absence of self-disclosure is one reason for distrust of media, but just about every outlet fails to cover itself and reacts poorly when other outlets cover them.

What, you're surprised conventional news outlets are way behind culture? The same stodgy execs who were still hoping in 2004 that this Internet fad would go away so they wouldn't have to learn anything?

He wants to pose as a "moderate, reasonable Republican" ( whatever that's supposed to mean now), but his buckling on COVID and party-line votes on redistricting - despite his constant mouth noises deploring partisanship - clearly told the zealots he would never lift a finger to stop them.

One thing that's not being pointed out enough is that these aren't just three random countries, they're by far our largest trading partners. Mexico, China and Canada account for almost HALF of U.S. trade.
