Trump is putting the tiny screws to Apple.

I am sure this will end well for all involved.
Headline: Trump threatens Apple with a 25% tariff if it doesn't build iPhones in America.

I clicked on a notification about the age for #SSA benefits going up, and instead of taking me to the article, #Google decided its AI should editorialize before I could read anything. I have never been redirected to an AI summary in the browser before being allowed to read the article before today.
Headline: Goodbye to Social Security Bemefits at 65: SSA raised the retirement age starting this month AI explaining the social security retirement age was raised in 2024 and the different retirement ages for people born in different years.

This brought this old chestnut back to mind:
A 2016 tweet by Eric Smith that says: 2016: Trump won't win 2017: President Trump can't do that, can he? 2018: You watching the Hunger Games tonight? I hope my District wins.

All those faithful making donations to the church all the time? He is salivating over the chance to steal it. When a new pope is elected, he will probably sue over the "stollen conclave."

Two squares away from Bingo in multiple columns and rows, and the payout is in apocalypse tokens. We're also double-dipping (triple-dipping? I can't keep track.) on squares previously crossed out. Examples to follow:
Bingo card with top row: constitutional crisis, USA declared fascist / authoritarian state by foreign power, USA sanctioned by ally, leave NATO, reverse SCOTUS precedent on major human / civil rights issue; second row: prosecute media, litigate possibility of 3rd term, declare martial law, DOJ / congressional investigation of sedition hunters, try to remove adversarial judges / justices; third row: crimes against humanity, prosecute political foe, free space impeachment trial, authorize force against peaceful protestors; fourth row: grovel to a dictator, have someone assassinated, massive national security breach, threaten war with ally, slashes to Medicare / Medicaid / social security / SNAP, etc.; fifth row: nominate new SCOTUS justice, recession / depression, treaty with foreign adversary, threaten use of nuclear weapon, extramarital affair exposed. "Free Space," “constitutional crisis,” “try to remove adversarial judges / justices,” “crimes against humanity,” “grovel to a dictator,” “authorize force against peaceful protestors,” “massive national security breach,” and “slashes to medicare / Medicaid / social security / snap” are crossed out.

He knows because he had it appraised when he sold it to Putin.

Welp it's been one month and I'm already 2 squares away from a bingo in one column and 3 squares away from a bingo in two rows. Examples to follow:
Bingo card with top row: constitutional crisis, USA declared fascist / authoritarian state by foreign power, USA sanctioned by ally, leave NATO, reverse SCOTUS precedent on major human / civil rights issue; second row: prosecute media, litigate possibility of 3rd term, declare martial law, DOJ / congressional investigation of sedition hunters, try to remove adversarial judges / justices; third row: crimes against humanity, prosecute political foe, free space impeachment trial, authorize force against peaceful protestors; fourth row: grovel to a dictator, have someone assassinated, massive national security breach, threaten war with ally, slashes to Medicare / Medicaid / social security / SNAP, etc.; fifth row: nominate new SCOTUS justice, recession / depression, treaty with foreign adversary, threaten use of nuclear weapon, extramarital affair exposed.

Got my 2025 - 2029 bingo card up. There weren't enough spaces for all the conceivable horrors ahead. If you want to add more, please feel free to make your own and drop it in the comments. I'll be updating this as we go.

I have managed to procure a sneak peek of Trump's Inauguration speech and his plans for his second term:
