Everybody is pretty sure Mike Johnson has skeletons in his closet. A single man adopting an 11 year old "son" (that he apparently didn't really adopt) and their shared porn alert app are enough to make one wonder. It's all very weird and creepy.

McD's pays 2x minimum wage in my area. Back in the 60's they paid minimum. It wasn't enough to pay bills then and it's not now. Teens worked there for spending money, but suburban teens are too cool to do that now and we're deporting the only other people who will work for that pay.

I'd bet he's classifying Trump's being questioned in relation to the Epstein case as him being an informant. Every suspect who answers a question is an informant in that sense.

The market may see economic distress as a sign that the Fed will lower rates. If so, then it might well go up on news that's bad for the average American.

I wonder if it wasn't more like, "I was at the bottom of my class. I started doing heroin and I THOUGHT I was at the top of my class."

The article doesn't really support the title, but, if they keep deporting the people who maintain the lawns in my area, maybe it will catch on.

Did Clinton start a modeling agency bringing in young women to the US while he was best friends with Epstein? Did Clinton run teen beauty pageants while he was best friends with Epstein?

TomR agrees. I have a hard time reconciling that someone like Hegseth, who has said some idiotic things and done some horrible things, graduated from Princeton and he's far from the only puzzling example.

Yeah, the key word is "shot."

Well, we'll just disagree. I'm stuck on the phrase "global energy" and, as an EE myself, don't see how it relates to the efficiency of solar panels (which can be more efficient that 20% anyway).
TomR (@thedrummer.bsky.social) reply parent
No, I think he's saying it would only produce 20% of the energy we use. Quote: "20% of global energy" In fact, according to NASA, the solar energy reaching the Earth is equal to 44 million typical power plants, so, even with all the inefficiencies of panels, etc., he's way off.
TomR (@thedrummer.bsky.social) reply parent
Even with that, he seems to have either miscalculated the surface area of the Earth, or is using an incorrect number of the world's energy consumption (not that anyone is suggesting 100% of the power to come from solar).

I'm sure a few Americans may have died in China in WWII - maybe in the Flying Tigers, for example - but, in the main, they were fighting the Japanese for Chiang Kai-shek, not Mao.

His assumption is that people on this app are more concerned with outlier causes than with bread and butter issues that affect wide swaths of people. There are some hard ideologues (and trolls sowing dissent), but there are a lot of people who just want good, non-fascist, government for a change.

Things repubs can't accept: The "deep state" is comprised of knowledgeable people in government who actually know how to do their jobs. Real medical scientists do research that is vetted and repeatable. Real media (not X) waits until something is verified b4 printing. They're not "hiding" things.

I'm watching a series on Netflix about US/Russia relations since the bomb. In covering Putin, they discuss the enormous amount of extortion and graft he's used to become the world's richest man. Trump obviously is a fan of the technique.

The right-wingers are heavily funded by the supplement industry (see sponsors on Fox, rw podcasts, etc.). I think their ideal world would be one where people have no clue how to protect themselves from diseases and are forced to turn to "magic" cures peddled by quacks.

The problem with Nutlick's comment is that what he's discussing is in no way related to why Trump is cutting funding to universities. The funding cuts are to punish universities with policies he doesn't like. It's a vendetta.
