I gotta buy more Bills Zubaz-patterned Labatt’s cans before they get Tariffed away …

Bleach?

They don’t care if they tank the dollar, it will make the assets in the Strategic Dogecoin Reserve that much more valuable.

You are thinking like someone who gives a damn about other humans. Yes, everyone benefits when everyone who is able to gets the shot and we can keep the overall spread down.

But what if you are the type of person who thinks that everything is a zero-sum game, and you’re not really a winner unless you have more than the other guy? What advantage is there to you, personally, if everyone benefits? It’s much better if you get the benefits, and people you hate do not.

Not their kids, they can afford the vaccines at list price. It’s the poors who will die, as Supply Side Jesus intended.

Ayy, any drone goes over my house, I get my gun out and – Badabing, badaboom! – no more drone!

We’re gonna party like it’s 1899

I wonder how the Turtle will vote, he had polio when he was a kid…

They will never realize it as long as they have Others to blame for it instead.

On the other hand, no one is obligated to listen to you, and freedom of speech does not equal freedom from the consequences of said speech. If you voice an unpopular opinion, be prepared to not be popular.

“The price to buy a Banana has fallen from 3 Dogecoin to 1 Dogecoin. Who cares if it went up in dollars?”

Promises Made, Promises Kept*!

<p></p>* = Promises will not be kept

I think McConnell vastly underestimated to what extent those judges were going to be supporting Trump over the country. I distinctly recall that when McConnell voted against the second impeachment, he said something to the effect that it was up to the Courts to apply any punishment. Well, guess what? The Courts have said that it was up to Congress all along*! I thinking in the fleeting moments of clarity in between episodes, he really wants that vote back.

<p></p>* = more specifically, that Presidents have an immunity from prosecution over their Official Duties, which the Courts themselves define, and have defined to benefit Trump wherever possible. The only way around the self-referential power the SCOTUS gave itself is impeachment.

Pay it no mind, every now and then he says something sensible due to memory corruption, then the GOP remotely reboots him and he is back to his original programming again.

It’s just some ETs, looking for Aaron Rodgers to bring him back to his home planet

The Kremlin had banked on a contested election outcome in the US, followed by months of disarray that would discredit US democracy across the world. The polite interregnum has been a cruel disappointment.

An interesting idea, if true. Putin didn’t even think that Trump could win again, and thought that his value as an agitator might be higher than his value as a leader. I wonder if any polonium is being spilled into the Diet Coke machines at Mar-A-Lago…

He would never accept a deposit from the interested parties before making this decision. That would be a bribe, and extremely illegal.

He will accept his deposit from the interested parties after making the decision. That is a gratuity, and is now totally legal, thanks to SCOTUS.

If it’s any consolation, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort is only about 1m above sea level and will be among the very first properties to get flooded by the encroaching sea.

I find it interesting that Giuliani doesn’t appear to be part of the ascendant Broligarchy. Out of all the major players in Trump’s orbit, he seems to be the only one facing any major consequences.

That tracks, because he acts like a first grader. He’s proud of it, too.

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.”
