This is a hilarious and deeply weird thing to say. If you want to get to heaven, come prepared to justify your life's work to George Clymer and Gouverneur Morris! Will TJ consult with Sally Hemings when deciding if I've sufficiently sacrificed for America?

Michael Fusella supported President Trump for nearly a decade. But as the Iran war drags on and the cost of living continues to climb, the 21-year-old Republican said he feels betrayed by a president who said he’d end overseas conflicts and lower prices.

Republicans are going to run on "solving the loneliness epidemic by forcing adults to hang out with their parents." Jonathan Haidt will make $63 million dollars working for the administration.

The other category of coverage is *extremely* implausible first-person accounts from estranged parents. According to this woman, her son cut her off after she was mildly rude to his fiance's family a single time. There's no way this is the entire story. www.goodhousekeeping.com/relationship...

Oops, PN fucked up and stumbled into my wheelhouse. tl;dr Trump has shitty policies and he has had a direct, negative effect on tourism but it’s not as bad as the piece portrays.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

AI's pitch is that you never have to use your brain again, never encounter conflict, and your ignorance is never exposed. It's partly why executives love it so much.
