Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Oh, I say, Friar Hugo's done us proud! Hazelnut cream pie, apple, blackberry 'n' plum crumble, cabbage'n'turnip pasties, pale gold cheese with chives and apples, and plum cordial. Hmm, I would have enjoyed a cup of tea, though. Cordial always makes me dozy at lunchtime.

And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You cant find one good thing to say
And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out
Youd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
You cant find one good thing to say
And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out
Youd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Hear me out: the people with loads of money should have much less of it and the people with hardly any money should have some more. Sorry to get all Karl Marx Lenin Stalin on your timelines so early but I had to say it.

fwiw...I guess my take after thinking about this for a bit...
1. the real villains remain the Rs, who have decided as a matter of policy that people should die rather than get health care, and who see starving people to death as a reasonable way to force concessions. (1)

Robert Byrd seemed to genuinely repent for his past and spent decades atoning for it, to the point where the NAACP mourned his death as the loss of a civil rights champion. People can indeed change.
But there's no sign of a similar arc of sincere repentance and reckoning in Platner's case.

I do not think dixiecrat segregationists are the bar we should be aiming to clear in 2025
Also Byrd unreservedly repented from his previous views, Platner has nothing but excuses about how he didn't know it was a nazi tattoo bu if he did it's not a big deal anyway

We cannot survive a world where Susan Collins returns to the Senate. If Platner has a better chance of beating her than his 77 year old opponent, then so be it. The Democrats lived with Senator Robert Byrd for years. Look him up.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
