Put aside the economic stupidity of the Trump admin's Canada tariffs, the political stupidity is just unbound. The election is in less than two weeks. The cake is baked. No Maine voters are changing their mind because you exempted blueberry producers for a week.

They're almost here... soon.

For fuck’s sake

Happy Mole Day

The problem with the media industry is there is no accountability. You can say any dumb shit and the next week you still get another article published and another paycheck and it's like your previous piece that was completely wrong never happened. We treat opinion columnists like meteorologists.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!
