old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I know I keep banging on about this, but it's simply unfathomable to me that legitimate news organizations continue to participate in the WH press pool.

If it does happen, his first response will be to order the government to stop releasing economic statistics. Second response, order reporting on the recession banned. Problem is, you can’t hide a recession.

It is 2025 A.D. The Nazis lost in elections in Germany today despite attempts to buy it by the American King and his edgelord Cromwell, and the winning political coalition is already talking about the US as an enemy to democracy. Wild wild wild.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

The word(s) of the week: Malicious Compliance. Malicious compliance is the act of following a superior's orders to the letter, even if the outcome is negative or unintended. In the workplace, it can be seen as an act of rebellion, where an employee uses the company's own rules against them.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Trump is trying to spin German election into what he wanted. It's not. Trump, Vance and Musk wanted the Far right AfD party to win. They didn't. The new incoming German Chancellor just last week slammed Vance for praising the Afd party. The US is even more isolated. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Main thing I'm taking from the German election result is that Musk and Vance support for the AfD made no positive difference whatsoever. In the current scheme of things that really matters.

I’m starting to think he’s got no second act. He’s like a bad one-hit wonder band from the 80s.
