Getting the distinct impression that at least a few of these guys are gonna have the phrase "star witness" attached to their names someday.

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

Republican rep getting shouted down by his own constituents at a townhall in a deep red R+30 district is something.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

We'll know the Republic is officially over if Trump/Musk willingly ignore court orders and all the major media outlets cast it as "a bold move" or characterize it as "the political stakes heightening" or whatever as opposed to calling it blatant, Constitution-subverting lawlessness.

Sure was a nice system of government we had while it lasted.

So I guess "run government like a business" actually means "run government like a recklessly destructive PE firm that squeezes the life out of everything it gets its hands on". Cool.

Just spitballing here, but I'd guess that General Waverly's financial problems started with the decision to build and maintain a Broadway-quality stage in his barn.

Clutchless, beltless CVTs are coming and could dramatically improve ICE fuel efficiency, even in high-torque applications where traditional CVTs are useless. Not every big advancement in the auto world needs to be expensive and computer-driven. youtube.com/watch?v=mWJH...

I guess the good news is that even though the cost of manufactured goods is about to spike bc of tariffs, the cost of food will ALSO spike bc so many agricultural workers are getting deported. It would feel so weird for inflation to affect big important stuff unevenly.

I usually don't mind living in the rust belt, but "a bunch of your neighbors just voted for a fascist, and now it's gonna be cold and dark for like 5 months" is a hell of a mood.

First impressions are important. Gotta find the perfect thing to say. Don't screw this up, won't get another chance. Um. Shit.
