Love MARLON BRANDO’s reply to Connie Chung when she says “Don’t you realise that you’re thought of as the greatest Actor ever?”
When you hear the US has a trillion dollar military budget it sounds terrifying and invincible But then you realise all that money is just being embezzled by defence contractors and corrupt politicians And the truth is, the US military is incredibly brittle and its morale is collapsing in realtime
Making our food unsafe was part of Project 2025. We need to work so hard for these midterms. So hard.
We need more prominent political figures to talk shit openly about the disgusting, criminal, child-raping president. Have some balls, Y'all. It makes him mad. Hopefully, it causes a heart attack.

Any gov. employees involved need to be punished; any judges allowing this to proceed without representation should be defrocked. And they should ALL be identified so they may publicly bask in their shame.

These new Google Waymo vans are Chinese electric manufactured vans. Chinese electric cars are illegal to buy, sell and even register in Arizona. Google, a powerful tech company, gets to circumvent those laws because “rules for thee, not me”. Tax the rich!
Whether it's a trade war with Canada or an actual war with Iran, the pattern is the same: Americans are paying the price for the President's choices.
I’m still trying to process how the president of the United States somehow talks tougher about Canada than North Korea.

From Espiritu Chicano "There's something deeply fucking disturbing happening in the rhetoric around mass deportation, and I think we need to talk about it. Not just what the government is doing. What people are cheering for.

“It is possible to make people contented with their servitude. I think it could be done even more effectively now because you can provide them with bread and circuses and you can provide them with endless amounts of distractions and propaganda.” Aldous Huxley
Canada is going $ for $ on tariffs & consumers are going to pay. You can’t blame Canada and if you think they aren’t deeply integrated into the American supply chain, manufacturing, & agriculture, you’re wrong. Don’t get me started on energy. We need our neighbors, this is ridiculous.
This was a thing the President of the United States said. He understood the financial-market nature of the question. He said Bessent was good with "bonds and interest." Then he suggested the military would intervene. Intellectual deficit? Ignorance? Senility? No matter: he should not be in office.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · yesterdayReporter on Bond Market: The yields have come back up since then. Have you talked to Bessent about another type of intervention.? Trump: The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.
Donald Trump's marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, William T. Kelley, is: "Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!" (He wasn't wrong. And he ended up running our trade policies and tanking our economy.)

Today's Bezos-WaPost attempted a puff piece on Palantir billionaire Jon Lonsdale. Reading past the puffery: * Lonsdale launched a campaign to disappear the homeless bcs some made his wife cry once. * He promotes a "meritocracy" stacked to reward people just like him. * He opposes civil rights.
