The World Cup broadcasting rights are worth a fortune to the lords of football. But as host, Donaldo can screw the pooch at any time. He could sic ICE on the Brazilian team. After all, they look illegal as hell. Hence, a gaudy trophy for the WH mantel, and a gold medal Donaldo has so long awaited.
JD can't wait to become President so he can trash talk Europe with a vengeance.
MAGA relies on misinformation, nourishment of bitterness in myriad forms, and, in general, a constant dumbing down. You're right; the people who supply all this deserve a special place in hell.
The test, finally, is whether you'll go the whistleblower route or resign from your job. Those are weighty choices and most people don't go there; they choose careerism and a certainty of status. It's easier to observe the naked emperor than to actually declare him unfit and fraudulent.
Can he pay my heating bill? Health insurance? Grocery costs? How about tightening up gun (safety) laws so I don't have to worry about losing my grandkids before they grow up? Does he have a plan to save the planet from overheating, or from running out of water? Those would be nice things to do.
Many folks have more extensive political resumes than I, but in my day, work with the Hawaii Congressional delegation, selected state legislators and county council members led me to learn that politics can drive people crazy. Hyperpartisanship and the need for affirmation chips away at character.

Do I want to see wealth transfers in the trillions in support of AI? Do I want to back these juiced, super-entitled tech bros? Is this cushion hopper fit to run a data center the size of Manhattan? I mean, if this dude is the future of superintelligence, I got questions!
Not for the first time are we learning that the men in uniform are more trustworthy than the men in suits.
Why make a judicial decision when a political one will do?
The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight fires its biggest blank yet.
Well noted.
We are all Jews now with our annual Day of Atonement.
He's a weary man. A new thought cannot infiltrate his skull until he catches up on his rest. But life just hurls more bad juju in his path. Hence he can never rest. He is the eternally weary man.
Golly. Did I hear a call to arms?
We're witnessing the third act of a sociopathic life. A lifetime of pathological grievances paired with attainment of maximum political power--judicial immunity. The door is open to commit murder. Lots of them. With more to come to justify the mounting body count. War crimes without a war, indeed.
A gentle man and a fabulous musician. When the Stax sound erupted in the mid-60s, soul music felt as raw and black as a midnight ramble on the Chitlin' Circuit. But Memphis soul was a creation of an integrated band. A night to play Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.

BESSENT: I know I come across as a bot, but I'm a prototype, okay?
On point.
Every 4-5 minutes, a new story breaks. The pace is dizzying. And nearly every story is rooted in a lie, or a lie in development. But, we are earnest and try to keep up, no matter how debilitating the exercise.
Sometimes, we just need a bad idea dog whistle.

He's a splendid man. He just needs a rewrite (wo)man to deal with verbosity and redundancy. Seriously.
In 1968, in Budapest, young Hungarian men told me how grateful they were for Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. Their wish list was simple. They wanted more American jeans and more rock 'n roll.
Brings this song to mind.

She went to counting school, where they teach you about millions and stuff.
