I think this translates to "Well, China didn't do what I wanted so I'll try child psychology on them". (Also fun fact: Doesn't China own like a trillion or so worth of US debt?? I think this hand goes to China)

“Secretary Hegseth, those plans are ready for you to share”. “Thanks, I’ll do it after happy hour”.

Of course his mother wouldn’t mind. Her son is a billionaire and could float her. He’d probably charge her interest. www.huffpost.com/entry/howard...

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

I mean sure, it is a GOP goal to get rid of SS, but Trump promised he wouldn't. That's worth something, right?????

Haven't heard much from Donny Jr. Eric and Ivanka these days. They are all smarter than he is. They have to know he is burning it all down.

@gtconway.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.bsky.social is this actually a thing? The website makes it look like a scam. All these conservatives refocusing on America’s liberalism? Color me skeptical.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

After a great interview by @andrewliptak.com and following @scalzi.com here on Bluesky, I have jumped into “Old Man’s War”. Not at all far in, but I really like the narrative style. Just came off “Neuromancer” which was pretty hard to read. #scifi #reading #books

I really don't know which name I like better... Wankpanzer or Swastikar. Trump, who campaigned against EVs and is willing to turn over the market to China, did allow a $400 million purchase of Cybertrucks for the State Department #tesla #cybertruck #ev #conflictofinterest

He could be any of the cabinet picks, but in this case it is Pete Hegseth. Hammer him on his lack of qualifications.

So, Musk is sued for breaking law and not paying fine…. But here’s new playbook. 1. Break law - ignore it. 2. Get called out. 3. Scream ZOMG why are you persecuting me instead of real crime/criminals? Followers go nuts. 4. In this case, in 8 days SEC will be under billionaire control. Case dismissed

Small weenie president gets little johnson Speaker to disrespect former president to stroke his ego. Good news is... precedent set. When Trump passes they don't have to lower the flags at all if they don't want...flag code gone.

No kidding...

The big question is why insurers wouldn’t want to cover these relatively inexpensive tests that allow them to catch cancer early, when it is easier to cure and thus cheaper for them in the long-run.

The saddest part of Trump’s malfeasance and criminallity is that 77M Americans didn’t give a fuck.

Spoiler alert: Senate Republicans will confirm the felon’s nominations. They have no morals. Power and greed is their religion.

Joe Biden has a week. He should just give California the disaster aid. Take the GOP bullshit off the table. Can he do that, or does he need Congress? He has immunity for God sake.

Apparently they don't remember that they won't hold the Congress/Senate forever.
