Indeed. The dementia angle is a distraction. Not enough of them are getting his hot insider trading tips I suppose before each oscillation of the yo-yo.

He was ridiculed for a segment of his speech at West Point but it went for an hour and it was nowhere near as bad as Dems made it out to be.

Here in Australia I had the impression there were no primaries? TIL there were primaries

Yeah it seems to merely be a business decision, less about a conscience and more about avoiding losing more anti-trust suits.

The conservatives won the Presidency. Now the liberal PM is calling for a vote of confidence (why?).

I cannot find his ten points anywhere. Not even on his party website.

If no one server carries all the parts of a multi-part, is that a legal loophole?

Sorry, but him speaking off the cuff is what makes many prefer him to the choreographed politicians.

I thought he was rambling when I saw transcripts (eg that story about a nuclear physicist uncle about 5 years ago) but when you hear it you realise the style is natural. In real life we do not complete sentences if the message has gotten through already. MAGA think we are stupid for needing it all spelled out for us.

Then there is last week's speech at West Point which Liberals were laughing at because he went off on a tangent about some rich friend whose wife cheated on him. Well I went to the full speech to have a laugh but found it was a whole hour (impressive speaking time) and this was in the middle. He tied the story back to the topic by the end. Most of it was not weird. I didn't endure the whole hour but the troops loved it.

Similarly Libs think he is an idiot for his yoyo tariffs but he is happy for us to get distracted by the comedians while he profits from all the insider trading this enables. Instability is profitable when you are the one who can predict the rises and falls each week.

He is a buffoon but he definitely hams it up for advantage.

 

A practically unknown band overseas despite being huge in Australia. They traversed several genres in a few years but failed to sustain commercial viability.

A two-panel cartoon humorously shows "the talk" across generations.

The top panel shows parents giving their child the traditional "when two people love each other very much..." talk.

The bottom panel reverses this, showing the grown child giving their parents "the talk" about "when someone calls and says they're from Microsoft Tech Support."

Pioneering musician/producer Brian Eno talks about rising inequality and how to make the super rich pay a wealth tax. He himself has become a multi-millionaire from his art.

The bus in the background is paid for by a group called Patriotic Millionaires who also have other strategies for closing the wealth gap.

Neighbourhood watch vigilantes in paramilitary gear on the sidewalk making a citizens arrest of a balaclava clad man. There is a tiny community street library next to them.

One of them on a walkie-talkie says: "Janet? We got him. The guy who takes best selling novels and leaves behind textbooks from 1978"

Realizing that not every moment in life will be deep, or meaningful, or vibrating with energy that would give him the fulfillment that he'd always hoped for, Todd unloaded the dishwasher.

 

"About 72 per cent of fatalities aged 13-55 are men, which is the rough age range of Hamas combatants, Mr Fox said. “We know that Hamas uses child soldiers, and these statistics show clearly that Israel is targeting fighting-aged men.”

According to the Henry Jackson Society who's entry in Wikipedia says: While describing itself as non-partisan, its outlook has been described variously as right-wing, neoliberal, and neo-conservative

 

I just discovered economist Gary Stevenson. He has over a million views of each weekly video on YouTube.

He is working class AF but graduated from LSE & Oxford and then made millions since 2008 betting that inequality will rise and that most people will be worse off. He was the most successful trader for Citibank but quit in disgust to reveal the scam to the public.
