Don’t threaten us with a good time, Steve.

Not since at least the Clinton years. The US doesn’t have a mainstream working class party.

Oh no!

Anyway…

I want him to keep threatening to run in ‘28. As long as daddy is saying he’s going to run, the sycophants who want to claim the throne won’t dare to run against him.

The Democratic candidate should be able to walk across the finish line (assuming we still have elections in 2028 and all that).

I have two bottles of champagne ready to go. 🍾

Believe it or not, this has something to do with China trade policy. He’s rambled before about China controlling rare earth magnets. I believe magnets were specifically called out in the first China trade ”deal.”

Someone has clearly told this doddering old fool that China produces most of the world’s rare earth magnets, and being stupid, he drew the conclusion that magnets = China = bad.

Stop this ride, I want to get off.

Walter Reed doctors asked the president to come in so they and their colleagues could try to understand how he’s in such amazing shape.

The sad thing is that I can actually imagine KKKaroline Leavitt saying that to the press.

I think your intuition is probably right, but also Amazon happened. You can get a grinder delivered to your house in a day or two for like $10. Nobody who cares about fresh-ground coffee is going to hesitate to invest in a grinder when it costs less than a bag of beans.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Brain drain. It’s already started. Academics, scientists, and researchers are moving to Canada or Europe to do their work. As shit gets worse, the upper and middle classes will start to do the same. The underprivileged and undereducated will fight for the scraps of what’s left.

TNR isn’t what I’d call the mainstream media. They’re pretty upfront about their ideological positions, unlike the New York Times or Washington Post or Reuters, which twist themselves into knots trying to be “neutral.”

I hope Iran waits until a couple months before the midterms to close the Strait. Nothing like sky-high oil prices to swing an election.

My goodness, they’ve found a way to open chip foundries, screen factories, and mass machining factories all within 150 days! Who needs democracy or due process or science policy when you have results like that?!

Press X to doubt.

Add it to the stack.

I was initially suspicious after just reading the headline. But after reading the article, I am… slightly less suspicious.

She isn’t an heiress in the sense that most people would think of the term. That is, she wasn’t born into the family and has never been involved with the “family business.” Rather, she married a Walton heir who died, and she inherited her wealth from him.

All I’m saying is that, wealth and surname not withstanding, she could be a decent person with decent motives.

The photo shows a Shoppers Drug Mart store, which means OP is in Canada. I’m sure there’s a Canadian equivalent though.

The important thing is that Nestlé saves a cent or two on each box of Hot Pockets they produce.
