I thought Irony died on Nov. 8th, 2016. So, am I the only one who has noticed all the Republican attack ads against Democrats telling us that we can't afford them after the Orange Voldemort told us affordability wasn't real?

Iran shut down the Straight of Hormuz, and attacks have caused supply chains to move > 1,300 miles. These are tragic strategic and tactical miscalculations imposed by Trump, Hegseth, et al, on their "purged" U.S. military for a Trump ego trip. The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight has fired again!

"What socialism and communism fail to acknowledge — and the reason they fail — is what capitalism embraces: human nature. Simply put, human nature responds positively to incentives and rewards, and behavior adapts accordingly." Kathleen Parker Regulated capitalism works. FIX: Campaign financing!

And here I thought Irony died screaming on Nov 8, 2016. OpenAI and Anthropic join to push against Chinese open AI LLMs. This, on the date OpenAI reported that one of its AI models went rogue during testing, triggering an 'unprecedented' breach at startup. They are correct...but should be included.

EVERYONE - Ask your favorite AI LLM to compare current admin and GOP statements on IAEA inspections efficiencies under Obama-Iran JCPOA before you believe anything they say regarding Trump's "deal" and oversight. Remember the "yellowcake" forgery in 2002-3? Yogi Berra: It's deja vu all over again.

Pretty much indicates that the last major orbit-changing phenomenon, if it actually occurred, was when the Mars-sized protoplanet named Theia collided with the proto-Earth 20-100 million years after the formation of the Solar System.

Stephen Colbert has absolutely no reason to do it, and ABC probably wouldn’t want the FCC headache, but it would be very funny if he spent Kimmel’s annual summer vacation guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! until Labor Day.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

BESSENT: THE CRUDE MARKETS ARE VERY WELL SUPPLIED (Squawk on the Street info crawl this morning) ME: But gas prices are rising on the news and will only be driven down by much longer-term competition. THAT'S BIG OIL'S CENTURY-OLD PRICING STRATEGY. AND, LIKE TARIFFS, IT'S A TAX ON CONSUMERS!

If Trump and his minions succeed in taking over this government and installing an authoritarian regime, am I the only one who realizes it would initially pretty much mirror the Chinese Communist Party in its governance? For the "good" of its people.

I just saw a post about the 'Devil Wears Prada' sequel, and it reminded me that Meryl Streep is the greatest actress who ever performed in my quite old existence. Thank you for this moment.

You haven't seen the whites of their eyes yet. We are a long way from defeating this bunch. We will need millions of non-violent demonstrators over and over to stop this bunch. Why must I use this method to reply on your post? You need an echo chamber?

An administration with the power of the Executive Branch ignoring the Constitution and with the help of at least three justices of the SCOTUS is not weak. Let's stop pretending otherwise; this is going to be long and difficult. We must be committed to facing up to it.
