People are starting to ask if Trump was poisoned by Putin. If Trump is being poisoned, I would look closer to home. Who stands to benefit? Not Putin.
True. “I think way too many people believe in the universality of their own experience,” is a good principle in general.
We will let China take the lead in developing this tech, that we have pioneered, so that we will have to buy it from them. Just like we have done with wind, solar, batteries, etc.
Normally they've booked 40% of their fall soybean sales to China at this point. This year, they are at 0% booked, and no, that's not a typo. www.farmprogress.com/soybean/us-s...
Any woke teacher worth their salt will be able to correctly check the boxes of this test. You would have to be asleep at the wheel not to see which answers the politically correct, culture war ideologists who created this questionnaire want you to pick.

It means “TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES”.
Never knew it existed. Thanks!
Millions for golf but not one thin dime for pediatric cancer! MAGA 2026!
My suspicion is that the billionaires/oligarchs are keenly aware that the game is up—climate change is out of control, and they can either save the planet & stop being billionaires or they can maximize profit and live as long and comfortably as possible. They’re going with Plan B. And the rest of us
lmao good grief theyre gonna do AI death panels www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...
🧵 I know it's ridiculous, but when he's talking mitochondrial challenges & inflammation, he's again referring to his idea of vaccine-induced autism. Let me explain.
Great idea. Within the US Constitutional system, there is a left, right, and center. Trumpism lies outside of the Constitutional system. It will require all of us who still believe in that system, progressives, conservatives, and centrists, uniting to stop it.
I have to nitpick with the phrasing “political idol”. I doubt these people idolize Trump. I would guess many at the table despise him. Political master would be a better description. They are in a master/servant relationship. He will destroy them if they do not kowtow to him.
Repeat it for those at the back: Republicans on the Supreme Court gave the grandson of a Russian double-agent with ties to criminal hackers access to all of your social security data.
A “tariff rebate check” is like setting your kitchen on fire and then mailing yourself a bucket of water. There's an easier way to avoid the burn.
I heard somewhere that if you are famous, they let you do it.
Time for local politicians to cut salaries for the police and let the state pay them. If the state has the control, the state should bear the costs.
The current DoJ will never release the files. They have been lying about them since they came to power. The only way to get all the files released is to replace the current DoJ with honest people who serve America and not just Trump, who they are protecting by not releasing all the files.
Gym Jordan? The former wrestling coach at Ohio State? Why do I seem to associate this guy with sex abuse scandals and their cover ups?
Eastern Tennessee and Southern Missouri would like a word.
There must be a gradient from top to bottom to keep the system flowing but too steep of a gradient is detrimental. When I was growing up I remember hearing a 25x CEO to worker pay ratio was the goalpost. We are way above that ratio and our economy is exhibiting the ill effects.
An economy is like an aquarium. It will stagnate unless there is some mechanism to move capital from the top of the economy to the bottom. Money taken from the top & injected into the bottom will naturally flow back to the top, keeping the system functioning.
It is well past time to replace “trickle down” with “bubble up”. In our system, money bubbles up from working people to the wealthiest. An economy is like an aquarium. It will stagnate unless there is some mechanism to move capital from the top of the economy to the bottom.
It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
until people realize whatever comes after "Trump said..." is most likely a lie or fabrication, USA will continue to have a problem
Convicted perjurer says adjudicated sexual assaulter did no wrong. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
The ruling class is desperate to shunt as much intellectual activity through AI as it can, because AI is another lever to prevent ideas that threaten their social status from surfacing.

One figure, which would be nice to know, is how many voting booths there are per capita in each voting precinct of each county in a state. Wonder how evenly distributed they are?
I believe it is called a strait. The Bering Strait.
Same AG Bondi who wouldn’t bring charges against Jeffrey Epstein in Florida? That AG Bondi?

KISS Keep it simple, stupid. It works.
A lot of people were killed at Pearl Harbor for whatever reason. A big number. A lot of soldiers. On both sides ... I believe Emperor Hirohito wanted to see it ended. All FDR had to do was redraw some maps…Give up some territory. America was stupid to keep on fighting.
The USA could have ended the Pacific War immediately by giving in to Japanese demands on December 8, 1941.
Zelenskyy cannot trust any security guarantee from the United States. If he could, he wouldn't need another.
Arkansas politicians don’t work for the voters. They will listen to billionaires who own crypto and AI. Vote the rascals out. That’s the only solution.
Medicare Advantage, which was created to save money by costing less than traditional Medicare, costs more than traditional Medicare and is bankrupting the Medicare system. But it is enriching the health insurance companies who fund congressional campaigns. Your government at work.
So, the US is ending partnerships with Israel, which has provided funding for Hamas in the past?
So, the US will not have partnerships with Israel, who have provided funding for Hamas in the past?
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
If this happened at a high school in your town, you would be screaming about it. So why does he get a pass? Because he is famous?
The government doesn’t work for you. You work for the government.
Are you better off now than you were 8 months ago?
Wrong! He has helped billionaires by voting for tax cuts which favor billionaires, causing the national debt to almost double under his stewardship. These billionaires will earn interest loaning these tax cuts back to the government. He is helping them get even richer at our expense.
Globalization didn’t make America poorer. It made the US richer. The reason most Americans didn’t get richer due to globalization is because the money generated by globalization was pocketed by the billionaire few at the top of our economy. Ending trade will make average Americans poorer.
This is the type of thing the dystopian sci-fi novels of my younger days warned about. They won’t need to implant RFID chips in us though, because we will pay a monthly fee to carry one around with us everywhere we go.
Swamp Guy who says we are not going to fix school shootings (can’t afford it) says we must make streets safe in the one city he lives in.
A large-scale, government-funded study tracking 1.2M children over two decades found something Kennedy doesn't like, so he wants it retracted. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
Well then, we fucking have to make our own organizations to resist!
Your billionaire controlled media at work.
Release the Epstein files, Donald. Release the files now.
He has to do something to distract from helping to cover up the Epstein files. Plus he needs to hide the fact that 1/2 the US debt was accumulated under his stewardship and he just voted to borrow 5 trillion dollars more. And the tariff taxes he has helped put on US businesses & shoppers.
The current crop of Republicans do not take the Constitution seriously. And neither does a majority of the Supreme Court.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
This is true. Release the Epstein files. Release them now.
The UK has 650 MPs w/ a population of just over 65 million. A little over 100k represented by each MP. If the US were to divide our 340 M pop into districts of ~150k people, there would be 2267 districts. Big but, I think, doable with modern technology.
The founding fathers envisioned congressional districts w/ ~35,000 people. Current US districts are over 20x that large. The only people they represent are the wealthy.
I haven't paid over $2.00 for gas since Trump has been elected. Any one who says different is a liar. We can all see who is lying about the price of gas every time we fill up but the lying liberal losers who hate Pres. Trump won't quit insisting that gas costs more than $2.00/gallon. Losers!
Trump lives in a fantasy world informed by the past. He is driving the car by looking in the rear view mirror. Tariffs, coal power, the USSR.
Increased risk of side effects means more lawsuits. Isn’t RFK closely linked to trial lawyers? It makes perfect sense.

Adding heat to a pot of water does NOT increase the turbulence in the water (we have all seen that water remains perfectly still no matter how much heat is added), so why would it occur in the air when you add more heat? Everyone knows that.
Ghislaine Maxwell telling the DOJ that Pres. Trump did nothing concerning around her does not clear him of molesting children, as that didn’t seem to concern her when Epstein did it around her. She wasn’t concerned by wealthy men molesting underaged girls. That’s why she is in jail.
Just trying to deflect the story. Release the Epstein files. Now.

I’ll bet they have a nice selection at Home Depot.

The Tokyo fire bombing wasn’t needed to end the war. The Allies could have ended it on December 8, 1941. All they had to do was sign a peace treaty with Japan. If they had handed China over to Japan before the fall of 1941, the Pacific war would never have happened.
We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.
I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.
Release the Epstein files. Now. Don’t let them change the subject.
Release the files, Donald!
Release the Epstein files!
Anyway. Release the Epstein files!
Perhaps Deputy Attorney General Blanche only cares about the name of one predator and what Maxwell knows about that one particular predator. Perhaps.
It’s #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay 🦉❤️ To celebrate here’s an Ancient Greek clay aryballos (perfume flask) in the shape of a little owl! Dated c. 640 BC. The Louvre, Paris 📷 by me #OwlishMonday #Archaeology

Because the billionaires who control the press have interests other than fulfilling their duty in a well formed democracy to maintain a well informed populace. They want a federal regulatory system similar to the 1890s.
Rerunning that old (now unfunny) soviet era joke: Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev are on a train. Train stops moving. Stalin: “shoot the engineer!” Train still stuck. NK: “rehabilitate the engineer!” Still stuck. Brezhnev, pulling down the window shades: “Comrades! The train is moving!”
Gasoline is under $2 per gallon. If you think you are paying more, you need to quit lying to yourself. You are just helping Joe Biden and the Democrats.
For markets to work, investors must have confidence in those markets. When, however, confidence men, i.e. con men, take over the organizations monitoring and regulating those markets, people will lose confidence in those markets.
Nitpick: America’s Nero hits American businesses and consumers with tariffs. Not foreign countries.

No. They are firmly committed to “kitchen table issues” and must stay on message.
Walking into a dressing room to see naked children is a crime, even if you own the pageant.
Once again: LLMs are word-association algorithms. They are incapable of grokking that the words they parse correspond to actual objects & phenomena outside of their own algorithms. To an LLM, its statements depend not on facts but on how often words occur together in the material the're trained on.
