I’m pretty sure that a bit of investigation would reveal a correspondence between Loomer influencing Trump and Loomer visiting him for private “meetings.”

Really.

Yes. That’s why they call it a “spectrum.”

Last I knew, the accepted term was “high-functioning autism.”

The last chapter was already great, but seeing it all from Akira’s perspective just made it all that much better

Emulated on a PC.

In about '98, I discovered SNES9x. I had an SNES hooked up to my TV at the time, but as soon as I discovered how convenient it was to play on a PC instead, I just stopped using it and eventually boxed it up and put it away. And I haven’t looked back.

At this point, every attempt at this ludicrously dishonest spin can and should be met with the same one-word response - “Mamdani.”

Huh…

This might just be an exceedingly rare instance in which those corrupt and compromised conservative fuckheads on the Supreme Court won’t just rubber-stamp whatever Trump wants, since pissing off the Fed, and the entire banking/investing industry whose interests it represents, could be even worse for them than pissing off the Toddler-in-chief.

There is no rule of law under the Trump regime.

It strikes me that it might actually be a bit of plain, old-fashioned trolling - deliberstely poor but with no signal that it’s satire, just to draw more or less the response I posted, or more broadly to reflect poorly on the point it claims to be making.

It’s strange, whatever it is.

Is this some sort of joke or did somebody actually unironically do a vividly piss-poor job of writing an essay attempting to make the case that writing with AI is not shameful?

Of course he was briefed - he undoubtedly ordered it.

He’s surrounded himself with cringing, amoral and generally stupid sycophants who, even if they had the brains and initiative to implement something of their own volition, wouldn’t dare do it anyway for fear that it might invite daddy’s wrath. So broadly, if it happened it’s because he told them to do it.

Now that said, there are at least two provisos:

1. He likely didn’t know any specifics, because he can’t be bothered to pay attention to things like that, and his initial order consisted of something like “I want you to go over there and stick it to that son of a bitch Bolton!” and that was the extent of his interest in it.

2. It’s possible that he was briefed and either didn’t realize it because he wasn’t paying attention or immediately forgot about it because he’s increasingly senile.

Like they’re going to actually admit that they’re corrupt, dishonest and blinkered by ideology and bias.

How odd that a single policy document okayed white supremacism, false medical information and pedophilia.

It’s almost as if the three are all somehow interrelated - like they’re all promoted by and for the same people.

🤔

As well they should be.

Trump has already made it clear that his opinion of the accuracy of economic statistics depends solely on whether they reflect well or poorly on him.

So it’s pretty well guaranteed that the primary requirement of any future statistics will be that they reflect well on him, and accuracy and veracity will be somewhere further down the list.

They’re either schmoozing with the donor class or attending symposia on things like Effective Methods for Creating the Illusion of Concern for the Common People Without Having to Debase Yourself by Actually Being Around Them.

This is how a republic becomes a dictatorship.

So what’s Donnie’s problem with Harvard? I haven’t seen an explanation yet.

Like he hates Columbia because they refused to buy a $400 million piece of property from him 25 years ago, and he hates wind farms because there’s one off the coast of his Scottish golf course and he thinks it spoils the view, but he couldn’t bully the officials into removing it.

It’s safe to assume that he has some equally petty and childish grudge against Harvard, but I haven’t heard of one yet.

Entirely predictable.

Every single time that a Republican administration purports to be cracking down on “wasteful spending,” you can be sure of two things: that their definition of “wasteful spending” is “any spending that benefits anyone other than ourselves and our cronies and patrons,” and that all they’re really going to do is shift it so that it exclusively does benefit themselves and their cronies and patrons.
