The Iranians know what the Viet Cong knew about LBJ. They don't have to defeat trump, they just have to outlast him.

Dunno man, patrol in international waters should be done by multinational forces. Not by a deranged navy

After these four companies settled with Trump in his shakedown lawsuits, the money was pledged to his presidential library. But the fund was then dissolved. Senate Dems asked the companies where the money went. They have now replied. I've obtained their answers:

The thing that really annoys me about all this Mandelson stuff is that the US Ambassador role was not vacant! There was already a highly qualified and competent woman in the position

And now this thing about finding a job for Starmer's ex Head of Comms?

Jobs for the Boys alive and well

The thing about Starmer and Mandelson @mrjamesob.bsky.social isn't so much the mistake of the appointment, as Ed Miliband rightly observed this am, even prime ministers make mistakes

It's about setting standards then applying them fairly, which is what Labour suggested they would do after 14 years

I'm surprised Disney hasn't tried to reboot Scarecrow of Romney Marsh as a series, especially during the Pirates of the Caribbean era when piracy was cool. Jason Isaacs would have been great in that role.

California Accuses Amazon of Price Fixing in Legal Filing

Amazon saw lower prices at competitors and urged the brands to pressure those competitors to raise their prices, which they did. In writing. @robbonta.bsky.social has the receipts of this cartel behavior.

Opinion | New Hungarian PM says government was funding CPAC but won’t anymore “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place,” Péter Magyar said this week. “It was a crime.”

Not enough people are talking about this.

Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?

the goose is loose.

They're WHAT.

Wrote about the Palantir "mask off" thread...

Must be a trainee.

I haven't seen the trailer yet so im guessing Tangerine Dream's "Le Parc"

the wild thing is most of us arent demanding insane stuff from the democrats. "just do stuff that democrats around america like" shouldn't be this hard of an ask.

I think the hot bath solution might be the most relaxing. Hope that's a good idea to use.

The thing about Kash Patel is I don’t think Trump cares that much about one of his lackeys getting bad press, I think he cares when they get more press than him.

wait there's a fragrance to the soap?!

price fixing is still against the law, right?

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

An excellent piece about the total collapse of Florida oranges. If you've read John McPhee's Oranges you kind of have to read this to see how it turned out (extremely badly).

So many impeachments. So, so many impeachments need to happen before we can move forward.

I was wondering if InfoWars can hire all the people CBS fired over the year to have them provide legit news for once.

that's only because he knew about the flagon with the dragon.

backing a guy with huge Epstein ties is a "minor mistake"???

and he doesn't understand A) how this will kill our consumer-driven economy, and B) how AI is *still* nowhere near the level of effectiveness the techbros want it to be.

thing is, Starmer's his own worst enemy here. He's put himself into these indefensible positions.

You'd think Brits would be best at the English language... alas.

Trump set a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz-after cursing at and threatening Iran for closing the passageway-then had the navy seize a ship

And again threatened them with war crimes-while concurrently sending a team of negotiators to engage Iran in peace talks

These acts are irrational and insane
