Personally I think Ukraine and Mexico should start negotiating the return of Texas to Mexico. They could hold talks in Cuba.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Chinese EV maker Ora unveiled the “PunkCat.” VW was not amused. Honestly though VW hasn’t kept the beetle in its lineup; I don’t agree with IP theft but is the SHAPE patentable?

America is where a bunch of lawyers have millions of followers on social media so they can argue “rule of law’” in a completely lawless country.

My better half is a physicist and an avid (amateur) poker player. She’s invited to do a pro charity tournament in Vegas. She’s deciding, but I’m kinda looking forward to my duties as the “spouse” which include “attending and supporting the player dressed in provocative Vegas style for broadcasts.”

It was REALLY telling that the MAGA GOP didn’t have, and frankly still doesn’t have a script for Venezuela: Absent any coherent policy the MAGA machine freezes. They don’t know what to say or how to act if they aren’t given talking points. Was this drugs? Oil? National Security? No one can say.

Clearly we needed to attack a sovereign nation that poses no threat to the United States because of their fentanyl production (doesn’t exist). I mean their theft of our oil (they never signed anything giving us ownership of their oil). Except it’s the cocaine (they don’t send cocaine to USA).

Watching these juvenile-minded idiots gleefully discussing the attack on a a nearly defenseless country like they are 5 year-olds playing army just sickens me. What have we become?

Apparently the FIFA World Peace Prize has a secret button you can use to order attacks on foreign leaders. Who knew?

Really though, if CBS News wants to keep any ratings I’d bet money they’ll be doing “specials” on monster trucks and professional wrestling within a month. No educated person is going to watch them, they’ll go lowbrow as fast as they can in an attempt to attract eyeballs.

American media is basically a few outlets concerned about journalism and truth and dozens of others fighting for control of the ignorant.

Another way to think about your show is that it was purchased by ideologically-driven $Billionaires that have no real connection to our society but want to shape it to their benefit. That’s evidenced by the oafish changes and incompetent leaders they have installed.

We can’t look away because the human toll is horrific, but I’m sick of Christians, Jews and Islamists forcing us to hear about and deal with their “religious suffering”. They lack even the iota of self awareness to say “hey maybe our fighting over fairy tales has made human existence insufferable.”

Hit a deer with the Audi on Christmas Eve. Deer seemed ok; the car hit the automatic brakes at the last second, so just a bruised deer and a cracked headlight unit with some scratches. The headlight? $3200. The whole estimate is $5700.
