If I'm not mistaken, WWII was ended by Allied Armies advancing into Berlin, so Hitler committed suicide, and nuclear weapons were used in Japan. "Negotiations" rapidly progressed from there.

"Yeah, prices 2026 may be measured at 20% over 2025, but then with demand dropping and the recession, there won't be any inflation at all when you compare 2027 to 2026. Genius way to 'fix' inflation."

I wrote almost the same "review" on Threads after I watched it yesterday. Two-dimensional characters, and I knew who would be elected even before the character appeared on screen. No explanation of the reason for bombings off-screen, why leave that unexplained?

He invested the last $93 in his savings account on scratchers, he won a dollar on a couple of them, and now has $9 left. Can't anyone here grasp how a MAGA investor calculates the value of their portfolio?

After DOGE pays their visit to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we'll know not to trust the job numbers going forward.

For the State of the Union, I'd wear the outfit that Zelenskyy wore today (and ask other Dems to do the same). While Trump is speaking, every 30 seconds a Congressperson should get up and walk out of the chamber.

Who's going to bring a suit against Bove and Bondi for impeding an ongoing DOJ investigation?

I'm sure Germany, France, Sweden, UK, all have a desire to secure future supplies of raw materials for their manufacture of weapons, appliances, aerospace, etc. Ukraine can make a deal with the US after FOTUS leaves the White House, and Russia surrenders.

Don't take my word for it. Here's an article from the GAO published last year. www.gao.gov/products/gao...

No, though she did get out of committee. I'm just trying to get ahead of the confirmation by a couple days, and suggest that Bondi could be shamed to live up to her testimony that she will "lead a department free from political influence". [Haha, as if...]

When Pam Bondi is confirmed, will a cable host or legal expert ask "Is Pam Bondi going to assert control over DOJ/FBI personnel decisions, and restore career employees who were illegally fired to their jobs?" Or was she lying about desire to lead a department free from political influence?

Let's not forget to blame Pam Bondi, and the deputies at the DOJ who are already running the show.

FOTUS seems to think this faucet is in Canada, I guess because it is "up north" of southern CA. He also seems to think if more water was immediately diverted from the delta it would immediately fill reservoirs and fire hoses in LA county. Maybe he'll get educated during the flight to LA today?

If threat of tariffs doesn't work, he'll go to the tried and true, can't fail, 100% effective strategy to promise to lower taxes on every Russian citizen in the top 1% of earnings. And to sweeten the deal, repeal the death tax, and total exemption from contributing to Social Security! /s
