Don’t worry guys, even though Donald Trump promised to get consumer costs under control on DAY ONE he still has huge throngs of apologists saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day!” “You think you can fix this much stuff Biden broke so quickly?” “Actually, things ARE fixed already!”
For a con-man to flourish, he requires a steady stream of gullible people. Our country has a surplus and more are being manufactured every day. You might say ignorance is our #1 export.
Ah, but the cost of the miner with black lung is increasingly handled by that individual or their family.
If you are a coal miner and you think that a man that lives in a gilded apartment can relate to you and has your best interests at heart you are going to be sadly disappointed.
Jellyfin.
That is all.
Here’s a record related to the decision:
IMPORTANT MEMO
To: Disney Leadership
From: Donald J. Trump
Subject: JIMMY KIMMEL IS AGAINST CHARLIE KIRK — VERY BAD!
Dear Disney,
You know me — I love the great people. But Jimmy Kimmel? He’s not a fan of Charlie Kirk. He said some very unfair things. Like, he called the Maga gang “desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.” That’s NOT nice! That’s NOT TRUE!
I told him, “Jimmy, stop talking about Charlie Kirk!” But he didn’t listen. He’s a disgrace. A DISGRACE! And when I say “disgrace,” I mean anti-American. So I want you to SUSPEND him. S-U-S-P-E-N-D. No more jokes about Charlie Kirk. No more laughs. Just a big, beautiful silence.
If you don’t do it, I’ll have to say you’re NOT doing your job either. And that would be terrible.
Best regards, Donald J. Trump
P.S. Jimmy’s a loser. A total loser.
Technically, any image could be printed on new U.S. currency. Slow news day?
GOP plans have the follow-through ratio of a Chris Christie diet plan, so I’ll believe it when I see it.
Yeah, except it fundamentally changes the situation under discussion. Turns out he had his feet on the seat NOT that the woman wanted him to move to the back. Totally different.
FCC Chairman: Someone should take care of Jimmy Kimmel.
[deep state assassins terminate Kimmel]
FCC Chairman: Noooo! Not like that!!
Err, what?
Aha, there you go. I don’t think anyone should put their feet on the seat, but I also wouldn’t alert the police about this.
I can tell why he seemed to leave that bit out of the story. His story is a lot less sympathetic if you frame it as:
“I was sitting on the train and had my feet up on a seat. I refused to take my feet off the seat, so she complained to the conductor. Then ??? and I was getting arrested.”
People with their feet on the seats really bothers me. It’s extra crass if the train was full and he wouldn’t move his feet, but I am not sure if this was a packed car or not. Either way, it’s disrespectful to have your feet on the seat in public transit, and I’d be curious what his exact language was when refusing. Definitely not an arrest-able offense, but this guy sounds like a jerk. I hope we get to see bodycams at one point.
The South has professors?
What is your source for this? Even the quote from above says “how” he was sitting, not “where”. Did someone else have better coverage?
This is a huge downside to USA protectionism of EVs. Because the USA slaps anyone who wants to import an EV, the really cheap EVs and many of the other models from overseas don’t land here. It makes Tesla seem more popular than it ought to be because they make up a huge part of the EV market in the USA. However, when you go elsewhere and the consumer can pick from the full range of EVs, they tend not to pick Tesla.
If we allowed all the foreign EVs in the USA to be sold to citizens, then Tesla would “learn” how to compete. Since they don’t have that pressure, we have an noncompetitive product. This will end just like compact cars did in the 70s. American manufacturers said “Americans don’t want small cars”. Then, everyone started importing Japanese compacts. All of a sudden GM & co. figured out how to make a compact car.
If you want your product to be a success globally, you can’t do that through tariffs and protectionism. This is not a new phenomenon.
How does one sit “offensively” on a train? All the coverage of this seems to just skip over that. Was he sitting with no pants? Laying across 3 seats? This is a novel one for me.
I have an idea! What if those filthy Canadians were just stopped at the border and customs can just search them and confiscate any cash, then send them back to Canada and send the cash to Vegas. Then we don’t have to deal with those annoying foreigners and we still get their money.
Trump should be forced to do what he wanted Biden to do. Where’s all those cognitive tests now? What happened to all the concern about elderly presidents in the last 3 years? It was a #1 crisis when Biden was president and every yawn in public was dissected, but now that Trump is dozily walking around, suddenly age doesn’t matter.
There’s never a bad time to grift. Husband assassinated? Grifting time! Husband not assassinated? Grifting time!
Don’t forget to keep buying Trump coins. They are going to the moon! (for some reason)
That’s next level where just quoting Charie verbatim is enough to lose your job!
The stupider you are, the more attractive his platform becomes. Smart people tend not to vote against their interests, but stupid people do it, do it proudly, and keep doing it even after it bites them in the ass.
How many times have we seen where someone’s spouse has been deported or their benefits have been cut and they STILL support Trump.
Trump’s #1 skill is telling people in the room what they want to hear. He’s just pretty bad about following up. His followers tend not to hold him to the fire. For example, if he promises thing X and doesn’t do it, later he was “trolling” or “that was a joke to rile up the Democrats”. Of course, when he does get a win they trumpet that from the rooftops.
He’s probably the first one with the combination of charisma and lack of ethics that makes him exploit his base.
It continually amazes me that he’s been so successful at capturing low-income voters. When you look at Trump he was born with a silver spoon. The man lives in a literal gilded house! Yet, he manages to stay “relatable” to his base. If you’re really wildly rich, I can see why you’d want to vote for Trump because he’s done a lot of great things for the extremely wealthy. However, for the 99% of us that are not wealthy, I think he’s made times pretty hard.
I wish I could say people are learning as we go along, but it seems like the voters are getting spanked and coming back asking for more.
So, I agree. Smart people mostly don’t like him.
Do you have an extra room in your house? How would you feel if I moved in and started smoking meth?
The Democrats don’t do shit except send me weekly texts from ActBlue begging for money. That’s the only time I hear from them or there is some outreach. I’ll never send a cent ever again. The state of our country is partially their fault for not even maintaining a functional party with candidates that don’t require holding your nose.
