I know it's a minor detail in Galloway's shitty take, but it's *cigars* not cigarette. He can't even trad macho man properly.

if people are using classified information to place bets, then theoretically others can analyze betting behavior to find signals that reveal classified information.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

I feel like New Yorkers should film a response that’s just people hanging out in Prospect Park on a spring day and having a cold one at Sharlene’s interspersed with clips of RSF war crimes and slave labor camps outside Dubai.

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

henceforth military personnel may obtain their JD only from the bottle

i now understand hetero-pessimism

It's even funnier if you read the full bug report

"A dwarf who is stressed but does not gain a good thought from shouting at someone in charge seems to prioritize shouting at someone in charge over any other activities."

And guess what group has trouble finding work?

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money.

HOLY SHIT! Quinns Quest reviewed Public Access!

We will no longer import corruption an lawlessness; my administration will produce unprecedented amounts of totally domestic corruption and lawlessness.

since I am not done Alysa Liu-posting, here she is making heart hands at the trans flag because she rules

I assume it's a reference to FEMA aid grants for the blizzard filtered through his thought-adjacent process.

ok normally i'm all for making fun of donald trump but this is actually the median american opinion on what the goals of our housing policy should be
