A NEW FIGHTER HAS ENTERED THE ARENA

Imagine if President Obama had flown around the country with a substitute wife because Michelle hated his guts. The media would have filed impeachment papers themselves

“This unprecedented, budget-crippling surge in diesel is tanking — so to speak — not only Trump’s approval ratings but the chances that many petrified Republicans will survive an already bad midterm cycle.”
New in PN: Diesel Don is tanking the GOP "Making matters even worse for Republicans, the bitter yet deserved irony is that key constituencies across Red America that elected Trump are particularly hard-hit: men, whites, farmers, rural citizens, and those from the South and West."
his average approval is going to remain in the low 30s i think but we are going to hit the high 20s in individual surveys before the year is out

Do we seriously have to do Maoist newspeak every single time an 80 year old posts his idiotic ideas on the internet. It has been AI since before I was even born. Can literally anyone have a shred of dignity.
Mike Johnson referring to it as "super intelligence" and to AI companies as "super intelligence providers"
Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.
Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."

If only Tillis had the spine to say shit like this before he was on his way out.
Tillis: "Folks, this was stupid on stilts ... to have a Russian oligarch who's actually traveled in a delegation to Beijing fund some sort of island wedding for a very wealthy family that also happens to be related to the president? Come on, guys, this is this is amateur hour"
Interviewer: do you have any skills that aren’t listed on ur CV Me:
The plan: Build a 200-room, 300-bathroom data center, 70% subsidized by federal and local governments. Make it accessible to the train. Build a supermarket for the 800 people doing 24/7 on-site maintenance. Call it the future of technology. Make OpenAI pay for the rest. Then let people move in.
chat is this good?

It is bad that the White House demonstrates casual disregard for the rule of law.
MS NOW reports that their White House reproter was denied access to the White House this morning despite a court order demanding she have access
i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's
Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
NEW Economist/YouGov Sep 18-21: The midterms Among likely voters, Democratic congressional candidates lead Republicans 52% to 38% — a 14-point edge, the largest of the cycle Among all registered voters the Democratic lead is 7 points (45% to 38%) yougov.com/en-us/articl...
Hard to narrow it down, but these 9 live in my head rent free 24/7.
Weird coincidence that all this is happening the same day as the AI air control rollout. “You’re absolutely right - a forty five degree angle of approach is entirely too steep for landings, and that’s on me. Would you like me to call some local mortuaries?”
The FAA orders a ground stop at Newark Liberty, Teterboro and Philadelphia airports, disrupting travel plans for thousands of fliers.
i mean, just look at how the populists talked about the railroad barons and others like them. "The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprecedented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty."
plenty of 20th century examples by my 19th century-pilled mind goes immediately to the railroads, which were HUGELY DISRUPTIVE and deeply enmeshed in politics in ways quite analogous to silicon valley and AI

Could be some good reasons the U.S. Constitution doesn’t authorize one person to take the country to war based on their erratic whims and the last person they spoke with.
