Nobody's ever seen the legal immunity given to sex offender and convicted felon Trump before, believe me! Author Lucian Truscott IV lays it all out: "It is becoming increasingly obvious that Donald Trump has pretty much ceased functioning as the president of the United States and begun acting as the boss of the Trump crime family. Even his order to attack the country of Iran has returned profits from his investments in tech stocks that produce parts for weapons systems deployed against Iran. He made some of the stock trades just before his order to attack became public knowledge." It's the corruption, stupid. https://luciantruscott.substack.com/p/crime-boss-donald-trump-beats-john
Saturday night, US political figure Donald Trump staged a surprise event at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner at which he was scheduled to speak. The surprise caused panic at the dinner leading to evacuation and possible rescheduling. Later in the evening Trump explained that the stunt was intended to highlight the need for a ballroom on the White House grounds where events like the disrupted dinner could be held. Earlier in the year, Trump had torn down the East Wing of the White House to create space for his ballroom. https://www.rawstory.com/white-house-correspondents-dinner-2676815189/ #USPolitics#Trump#WHCA#Ballroom#NewsMedia
@0shame@elilla My Polish friends always tell me that their language is pronounced exactly as it's spelled. I still suspect that they're pulling my leg.
We're moving house in a week. Anybody have any good tips about packing? I mean, aside from "get rid of as much stuff as possible rather than moving it."
Columnist Bill Palmer on Mr Person Woman Man Camera TV who sits in the White House: "We’re at a point where even Donald Trump is spending every day focusing on his worsening dementia. Wouldn’t it be nice if the mainstream media did the same"? We in the US are living through the children's tale of the president who has no brain. https://www.palmerreport.com/politics/oops-trump-did-it-again/62220/ #Dementia#Trump#USPolitics
Noticed that the US hasn't invaded any other nations today, nor kidnapped any heads of governments, nor announced any boat sinkings, so it's probably a good day to post this meme:
Something to consider when counting your generative Ai profits that haven't materialized yet, and may NEVER show up: "... investments in AI do not appear to be driving much economic growth at all, other than in the revenue driven to NVIDIA from selling these GPUs, and the construction of data centers themselves. Had Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon sunk $776 billion into building housing and renting it out, the world would be uneven, we would have horrible new landlords, and it would still be a great deal better than one where nearly a trillion dollars is being wasted propping up a broken, doomed industry, all because the people in charge are fucking idiots obsessed with growth." --Ed Zitron
Okay, so some people swear that "Die Hard," is a Christmas movie, and I'm not going to argue with that. What I want to know is: Is there a Kaiju Christmas movie? And pleez DON'T say "It's Christmas Godzilla," because I'm pretty sure that hasn't been made yet. #ChristmasMovies
