As a mental exercise, I encourage people to take the President's statement about dolls and pencils and replace "baby girl" with petulant billionaire, "dolls" with luxury resorts, and "pencils" with gold decor items...seriously, the idea of a billionaire selling the virtue of austerity is absurd.

Concepts of plans and sketches of deals...#AreWeGreatYet?

Heartening news...

I think there's a very substantial portion of Republican base voters who are so gaslit that they'd agree they deserved to lose their jobs if their party leaders told them so. And an even bigger contingent who are just nihilistic they'll still vote Republican no matter what they believe.

By the time the sun expands to make Earth uninhabitable, Mars will be LESS habitable than it is now, not more. There are also about a trillion different things that could eradicate humans before this celestial event actually happens. This is probably the dumbest argument yet supporting colonization.

Interesting, I had no idea that any recent election came down to six votes in TX...

Yeah...also claiming there are only two genders isn't biology. It's a psycho-social argument. Claiming there are only two SEXES would be a biological argument. It wouldn't be a valid or defensible or scientifically accurate one, but at least it would relate to biology...

Good thing the FAA is flush with resources and isn't facing massive cuts to their workforce...oh...

I'm frankly more surprised he didn't suggest developing it as a gilded niche theme luxury resort...

We truly live in the stupidest of all possible timelines.

So when he said "we're gonna have so much money we won't know what to spend it on" hopefully his supporters are finally now starting to understand it was the royal "we" all along...meaning him.

I can just see that press secretary of his saying "He IS serious, and don't call me Shirley..."

The pinnacle of government efficiency: reject a proven solution and invest heavily in pursuing an alternative that doesn't exist...are we Great yet?

This week's market activity and the prevailing take explaining frankly prove just how stupid large investors really are. There is absolutely no reason why there should be any "hope for trade deals." There are no deals to be cut. The entire underlying premise of these tariffs is complete BS.

Having grown up in an aggressively religious environment, attending a school from preschool through the 8th grade whose fervor for the Bible and religiosity bordered on cult-like levels, this is one sentiment I NEVER understood, and still don't.

Please let the US Parade be led by a tank flying the Pride flag as in this photo...

According to Pam Bondi, with the rate at which the Trump Administration is seizing fentanyl, by the end of next week Donald Trump will have saved more than 25 Billion lives...roughly 3x the global population...even though data clearly show the Biden Administration intercepted far more fentanyl.

One of the great American companies the Administration pretends to be helping...#TheTariffsareBullshit

US paranoia about Communism forced a messy divorce from official participation in/recognition of May Day decades ago and in so doing created a largely predatory breed of Capitalism that is deeply skeptical of labor at best and often openly resentful toward workers. We should not minimize this tie.

It's nice to see a prominent conservative voice calling this out, but does Ann Coulture think Kim Jong Il is still in charge of North Korea?

It's amazing how often I hear "We don't need to get into the weeds on this" spoken by someone standing chest-deep in the weeds.

I hope SpaceX fails so catastrophically at this mission that the company collapses. It's much better they fail now before they get to the point where they're killing their private astronauts in droves. If SpaceX collapses, I think the nation will abandon space colonization as a goal. 👍

In case anyone is confused as to why the modern Republican Party is continually leveraging laws from the 18th and 19th centuries to try to enact their agenda, it's because they have no other choice. They know their agenda is so fundamentally toxic not even THEIR own Congresspeople would pass it.

First of all, there's no such thing as a "direct, inverse correlation" collocations are either direct (i.e., when one factor increases, so does the other in some proportion) OR inverse (i.e. when one factor increases, the other decreases). It's mathematically impossible for a correlation to be both.

With everything happening in the world, why on EARTH are pro sports still a thing?
