There is a not insignificant number of Americans who are really fucking stupid.

This. Numerous actions taken by the administration so far have been blatantly illegal or unconstitutional. Gotta muddy the water so no one has time to focus on that.
Can’t wait to call and gripe loudly about the massive price increases to the staffers of my idiot congressman and senators.
The cornerstone of any good relationship is honesty. Without that, everything else is sitting on a bad foundation.
Your little bro is in for a bad time but some people just have to learn the hard way.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored [gay, trans, Hispanic, etc ] man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
Our oldest, who is almost 17, calls me by my first name. Although I have heard her refer to me as “dad” when she thinks I’m not in earshot. When I adopted her, I promised she would never have to call me “dad” unless she wanted to.
We’ve since turned it into a running joke where when anyone asks why she calls me by my first name, she’ll tell them she did something so bad that she was never allowed to call me dad again as punishment.
What kind of dad doesn’t want to be called “dad”? That’s a title of the highest honor. Anyone can call me “sir”. There are only three people in the world who call me “dad.”
Musk is currently in the limelight, sort of. They know they have a short window of opportunity to unload those non-performing assets while minimizing their losses. And the way Donny burns bridges with virtually everyone, that window is closing rapidly.
Don’t worry. We’re working overtime on it.
They will. Just as soon as they’re finished chiseling the inscription off the Statue of Liberty.
Weird. Similar thing happened to me. One day I was thinking, “Damn. These streaming services are getting too expensive. I may have to get back to sailing the high seas if this keeps up.” I shit you not, all of a sudden my home server is sucking up all kinds of movies and TV shows and streaming them to my living room. It’s like The Brave Little Toaster if the toaster were actually a Dell PowerEdge and it went on a long journey to find the master (me) as much high quality media as possible.
Ah, the old General Motors strategy. “We made poor business decisions for the last 30 years and were completely blindsided when it bit us in the ass.”
Which was itself a sequel to Nixon trying to stall peace negotiations during the Vietnam War.
No one will remember that since it happened prior to last week.
Did the law give Trump the power to change the deadline through executive order?
I don’t know but I’m curious about this as well. Not that it matters. Republicans in congress have already decided that Trump is above the law so he’s going to do whatever he wants with their full support.
Translation: “We would like to thank President Trump for protecting us from the oncoming car he shoved us in front of. We would also like to make a generous donation to his inauguration – which is most definitely NOT a bribe in any way – to show our gratitude.”
It’s like watching a much stupider knockoff of The Sopranos.
When the oligarchs start fighting each other instead of just the plebes. Internal power struggles are often major contributors to the collapse of an empire.
Back at a time when I naively worked 80+ hours every week, I had a doctor lecture me about slowing down saying, “if you want to have a heart attack at 50, keep doing what you’re doing.”
Naturally, I ignored that advice. What made me stop was the realization that my employer did not care about all the nights and weekends that I gave up for them. It was totally meaningless to them. Just as meaningless as OP’s nights and weekends are to their boss.
