@npr.org what the actual fuck on choosing this as your Monday morning headline story? "The rich continue to flaunt their extravagance while you all suffer" status quo in the US. This isn't news unless space orcas are involved.
The Economist, that brilliant British journal steeped in history & journalistic professionalism, has always been the home for those who want global financial news presented in a factual, unbiased format. But this might be the single greatest column ever written. www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

JD Vance suffered a bit of an awkward moment in the White House on Thursday during a meeting with Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Kier Starmer.
More proof that voters elected a thin skinned bratty toddler to run this once-great nation. Abandoning a pivotal,budding democracy in a critical geopolitical location is reprehensible. Americans need to know why this POTUS adores autocrats & dictators and tramples freedom apnews.com/live/donald-...

Quit pretending like Trump has any knowledge of history or geopolitics. He's an impulsive fool trying to get quick fixes to everything, from cutting federal depts to appeasing Putin. Sane Republicans need to stop him NOW and help steer the GOP ship away from disaster www.wsj.com/world/trump-...
