One Trump Airlines already failed spectacularly. What's another?

Price is Right Praxis

I'm sure they can ask the donors if they felt defrauded. I'm guessing the answers are going to be, "what the hell do you think confidential informants are?"

I was a donor. I was not defrauded. I understand how paid informants work.

Under this theory how many paid informants employed by Kash's FBI would put the FBI under indictment?

I wonder why the Kurds won't help Trump's war in Iran?

We had a good run. I'm glad I was alive to witness the postwar pinnacle and glad my parents aren't alive to see the demise.

When religious extremist Israelis murdered Rabin and it was not considered "terrorism" told everyone exactly what they needed to know. Elevating Ben-Givr into the government when he was one of the perpetrators of the murder was just more fuel to the fire.

Literally the only reason I went to Mavericks games was to heckle Shawn Bradley

Windfalls for corporations and bupkis for consumers. This is republican governance in a nutshell. Screw consumers and employees while corporations, CEOs, and big investors get the payouts.

Roberts has been against a full democracy since at least he clerked for Rehnquist. This should not be a surprise to anyone who was paying attention. Unfortunately, we have for too long coddled racists and white supremacists (and proto-fascists) in the US system.

Dysfunctional and regressive is an apt descriptor for Tech Oligarch culture

Roberts and Taney will be forever linked together as the worst Chief Justices in US history because of their hatred of full democracy and adherence to the principals of white supremacy.

Stalin made the trains (to Siberia) run on time

At this point, who are the morons buying oil futures and stocks on a Friday afternoon during the Trump administration.

The Hegelian Dialectic strikes again!

It has become glaringly obvious where corporations have "integrated" AI into their customer service process (well beyond the annoying chatbots) and it falls short in almost every interaction I've had.

The Saudis don't need to fund LIV anymore. It was created in order to bribe Trump through laundering the bribes through his golf courses and resorts. All the bribery is out in the open now so those backchannel dealings are no longer necessary.

It's going to be tricky for him to dance in those things when he's on Dancing With the Stars

Listen, the department of phrenology is not going to fund itself!

It's because all the shoes are too big to fill

I think if you look at how much basic necessities [housing, healthcare, education (i.e. loan repayment and daycare)] take up a much larger percentage of income than in the immediate aftermath of the 1970s inflation spike. There were also still a strong unionized workforce that cushioned the blow.

Performative bullshit is the conservative / evangelical way

Amazing how they just shrug it off just like they did when it was revealed Russia was bankrolling a bunch of right wing talking heads.

It's called a "consultation"

As always, he's crazy.

But he grabbed the narrative. Again.

Let's take it back.

Unless and until religious extremists are expelled from the government Israel will not find peace because the religious extremists demand maximal territory, expansion, and hegemony. I suspect they will soon turn on those Israeli Jews who don't support them 100% - like all maximalists do.

Perhaps Israel shouldn't have entrusted the country to the right wing for the last 25 years but instead held religious zealots like Ben-Gvir responsible for the murder of Rabin and continued on with the peace process. Instead you get constant war by the people who claim they are protecting you.

And they don't mean it in the Thomas Paine sense

Pretty amazing that these clowns are smart and self-aware enough to realize that they got taken by one conman (trump) and that they are now on the same ride with another conman (fuentes)
