JD Vance adds killing a peace deal and sinking Viktor Orban to an impressive resume that includes offing a Pope. He just needs to up his crypto grift game and he's ready. #EVTD

Wife said if I played golf again today she would show me who the elite ball striker in the family is.

All of Trump's policies have been--to one degree or another--inflationary

War: inflationary
Deficit: inflationary
Tariffs: inflationary
Politicizing the Fed/loose money advocacy: inflationary
Immigration: inflationary
Cuts to renewables: inflationary
Corruption: inflationary

Good example of how the truth or falsity of a statement is just irrelevant in Trump’s mind. He says whatever he thinks he needs to say at a particular time to accomplish whatever goal he has at that particular time. That’s what his brain thinks words are for.

Pimp my grift

She got scared and panicked bc Trump said they were sending escorts to the Strait of Hormuz

And yeah, I know the deregulation fairy and the productivity fairy are going to fix this any time now--in two weeks, probably--but everything measurable and tangible that Trump has done has been inflationary

Trump lost the war to Iran.

So does he criticize Putin for helping Iran win?

No. He criticizes Europe for not being part of his defeat.

Buy or sell?

Buttigieg is gonna make Kernen cry, isn't he?

Furious at google for publishing my net worth without my consent

Cop stops motorist. Says "You ran the stop". Motorist says "Okay, but I slowed down. Same thing". Cop "Ok, I'm going to hit you over the head with my billy club, and you tell me if you want me to slow down or you want me to stop"

5 stages of MAGA:

1) Fuck your feelings
2) Personal responsibility!
3) You're gay and retarded
4) You made me MAGA bc you said mean things
5) Show me grace

Here was the assessment when the war broke out. Trump was true to his colors.

"Trump begged like a dog for a cease fire" -- Iran's next tweet

Iran will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program and enriched stockpile. They keep their missiles. Thank you Mr president for your attention to this matter.

Now that we've powered up Iran's use of the Strait of Hormuz as leverage, they're going to want to wield it. It's the only major card they now have. And we gave it to them.
