Trump has been doing it to everyone else, just lie to the press about basic facts. Both Macron and Starmer managed to politely correct him without triggering Trump. Zelensky was trying to do the same, but Vance couldn't shut his mouth and decided to try and show to Trump he was a good boy. And once it got to that stage, Zelensky couldn't really back down.

At least he's awakened something in Europe now where everyone's basically said they've got his back. He could probably get a better deal from Europe, because from what I've read the current deal has been described as worse than the Versailles treaty, which is probably not something you want to impose on a country that already has a bunch of armed Nazis running around in it.

Or even the former slaves, they're still waiting on their 40 acres and a mule.

He's been doing well financially by doing exactly that. These people just look at what's good for their immediate family, not society as a whole.

Which is ridiculous. Their business was basically repackaging what the government was providing for free. They think it's better business to roll out a bespoke weather forecasting system that costs millions of dollars to maintain?

Libertarians really don't understand that the government is what enables them to do business. If you have to pay for all that stuff yourself you're going to spend a multiple of what you're currently paying in taxes.

Imagine if it's actually not him, and the real guy was able to get away because nobody's looking any more.

A fucking monorail is some Musk type bullshit.

Yeah, I hate this era where there's no difference between satire and real life.

Did she practice it to be able to pass the field sobriety tests?

I feel like that's how you get those kinds of opportunities to begin with. They only trust you with the control of assets of they know they can control you through blackmail. Musk especially got his first business opportunities through In-Q-Tel, which is basically a CIA venture capital arm.

Or maybe they should get to keep the minerals for themselves instead of getting shaken down from all sides.

Yeah, suddenly they'll go from 60 hour work weeks to 0 if the AI proponents are to be believed (which you shouldn't).

 

About 7.5 million singing and swimming “Baby Shark” bath toys are being recalled after multiple lacerations and puncture wounds were reported in children playing with them.
