WTF!?! “Massive Tax Cuts?” Not for 99% of Americans. “Surging Tariff Revenue” - which are tax increases by definition. They can’t even make one paragraph internally consistent. “Legislative wins” - when he’s bypassed Congress almost completely and hasn’t really passed a single bill that isn’t cheated through the reconciliation process over the decisions of the Senate Parlamentarian.

That was worth watching, and as they say (paraphrased): from his mouth to their ears.

This certainly belongs in the “stupidest thing I’ve read” thread. Good lord, my granddaughter’s scribbles are more comprehensible than this shit!

It’s soooo long overdue for left-leaning media to give it a serious go.

It looks like the organisation I work for are looking to export a particularly noisome property to the US.
Harry Cole, a distinct charisma vacuum whose only notable feature is that he sounds like Eddie Izzard, is moving to New York to head up an attempt to start up a subsidiary of The Sun, focussed on producing social media video content.

I was fortunately unaware of this particular idiot, and was amused to find that searching for him online turned up an unexpectedly honest assesment of him, which turned out to be a bit of a case of mistaken identity.

I’d love that… I doubt they will. Ellison seems committed to bending the knee to trump…
I ran across this article though, which shows this isn’t the first time that CBS has done something like this… I’ve read about the Smothers brothers being canceled, but I did not remember that they were on CBS…

This ties into one of the fallacies of American capitalism - that it is the optimal approach to overall economic growth and wealth generation. It’s simply not. Capitalism as currently practiced in the US destroys wealth. When the vast majority of people are simply using high-capital items like homes and cars, and can’t afford to maintain them in an emergency, that item loses value up to and including complete loss. It’s the Pratchett Vimes Theory of Boots writ large. The bottom 50% of America has zero wealth because they (we?) don’t have the rainy day savings to make a major repair to a house or car, and in such a case its value approaches zero.
