So they both have horrible taste. That tracks.

Nothing fanciful you blur here could come anywhere near as offensive as the reality.

(excerpt) Curiously, USCIS proposed a compromise for children of parents with “lawful but temporary” status: These kids, the memo says, could inherit the legal status of a parent, and the agency “would propose to defer immigration enforcement against such children” until the details are ironed out.

I have a feeling that the “details” to be ironed out have to do with Trump’s “golden ticket” or some version of that.

it seems likely that trump just taco’ed the August-1 tariffs for a week


Trump issues order imposing new global tariff rates effective Aug. 7

The executive order follows through on the president’s recent trade agreements with some trading partners and his threats to slap punishing new duties on others.

07/31/2025 08:37 PM EDT

President Donald Trump signed executive orders on Thursday evening to impose tariffs of between 15 and 41 percent on goods shipped to the U.S. from more than 67 countries, ratcheting up tariffs to the highest levels in more than a century.

The new duties, however, won’t go into effect until Aug. 7 — giving countries yet another window to try to negotiate them down.

why not?)

Right now this would be an improvement, actually.

“You could say what Trump has achieved is a deal, but to me it looks a lot more like a more expensive restatement of the status quo.”

Already does. Don’t you know how much work it is heaving himself out of a golf cart? 18 times?!

He won’t participate. But he’ll create a special club to encourage children to participate in his name. A youth club. A sort of league of worker youth, if you will. The kids will come to love the uniforms, I’m sure.:face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

That’s true everywhere with the caveat that we too can’t just magically replace US products and services with ones from our own territory. We should of course take a leaf out of Brazil and Philippines books and implement cheap digital cash transfer systems. (Fuck those Stripe dicks). We should do it anyway. The good bit is that the Washington consensus is tariff free trade in return for allowing the US dictate the broad terms we operate under (like global IP law is what the US says it is) so now we can get our from under that boot and properly regulate the “tech” sector.

He doesn’t need to. He’s already won the FIFA Club World Cup and will win the World Cup next year and all the Olympic gold medals in 2028.

He has a winning athletic record on par with Nero.

Edited to correct spelling.

Same definition of “bias” as they used for AI. “Thou shalt not imply criticism of the Orange Asshole.” It will not be long until LĂšse MajestĂ© laws are explicit.

Someday, should humanity survive, people will claim that Donnie intended to assign his favorite horse a cabinet position. Our descendants will only recognize this as apocryphal not because it sounds too ridiculous to be true, but because he famously dislikes animals.
