Sunday should be interesting.

There is no point taking Trump seriously. 100% tariffs are an empty threat.

They have to be trolling, to know there are no penguins in the Northern hemisphere.

Trump can get f*cked. He is the coward who hid from the draft.

Not sure it is bad intelligence so much that everyone in Russian military intelligence were just bullsh!tting to their superiors. There was no incentive to correct BS. Now, Putin maybe should have been less gullible to believe it would be so easy. It makes one wonder if this war would even have...

Unfortunately, my days are often 60-75% calls/meetings, and there are certainly not enough phone booths for everyone on calls. Enclosed offices are probably too far the other direction, but having people taking conference/teams calls at a long table with workstations every 6 feet is disastrous...

I think this 'framework' is just a face-saving exercise for Trump.

The slide into totalitarianism is proceeding apace...

If enough GOP congress members think they are going to lose re-election this fall anyway, there might be some incentive to buck the whip and vote against Trump's agenda.

I was beginning to hope that the right wing bro podcasters becoming less enamored with Trump might have cooled support somewhat.

Is he going to bribe Air Canada to offer flights on that lane? Bizarre.
