Well sure, but
she couldn't explain it.

I mean, it seems pretty obvious. If you require me to mask and I have to rely on just these gorgeous green-eyes which have only one setting – locked and loaded – and I can't 1-2-punch it with this baby face also being visible, of course my opportunities to procreate are going to decrease.
Now just imagine the situation for the rest of you.

only the best!
Minnesota Republican state Senator Justin Eichorn, co-author of the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" bill that just made headlines, was arrested yesterday in Bloomington for allegedly soliciting sex with a 16-year-old girl.

I mean, it's accurate, not sure we need an entry in the DSM, but it appears to be the healthy response from a brain of a healthy individual
It describes the “syndrome” as Trump-induced general hysteria and “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump.”My reaction to his policies and presidencies is to vomit, but I've been known to have some general hysteria at times

Someone should arrest him for wearing that bowl cut.

because legislators defining mental illness is a perfectly normal thing.

We did not authorize or condone the White House’s use of our song “Closing Time" in any way. And no, they didn’t ask. The song is about joy and possibilities and hope, and they have missed the point entirely.

Question: How much authoritarianism can a country actually stand before even the facade of Democracy is fractured?
So many people applauding at worst or just turning a blind eye to things like unlawful deportations, bending (breaking?) of laws and norms and a radical shift in the emotional core of the country. I was thinking about it last night, in talking to my wife about the Venezuelan deportations, fucking Bukele (she's Salvadoran and we've talked from the start about what his ascent really means for the country and what is now clearly their own authoritarian regime) . . . at least in the beginning, poor folks loved them some Hugo Chavez and who wouldn't, in a primal worst of mankind's nature way, like to see someone made out to be enemies (or who put themselves morally above, *cough* *cough* flagrantly showy, prius/electric car driving, demanding you change, liberals) brought down a peg? Maybe Trump and Elon will start giving people free cars (or more likely free internet) like Chavez gave away TVs (pulling from recollection) and the like, so folks could watch his broadcasts. Maybe the free internet will default to pro state landing pages.
Are we just done? Are there precedents that individuals should look to as ways to steel themselves or help themselves weather a decade (or a lifetime) of living under shifting regimes of creating two distinct classes?
I used to have faith in the thought of people as social animals and thus society as mankind's greatest achievement and one that despite the give and take of inherent selfishness, would continue to push itself forward. I don't feel that right now. It literally feels like every fucker for themselves, even if that means silence in the face of what clearly feels like evil (bitching online is just as silent as verbal silence). I mean, I ain't doing shit, can barely balance my personal books enough to donate to worthy causes and am stuck behind a desk for 55 hours a week, on salary, just keeping my head down… Or maybe my job just sucks and I'm reflecting my job against the country broadly. . . Or maybe my workplace is just a microcosm. Owner voted Trump, boss voted Trum (even though he and his wife skated into citizenship by hook, crook, or just plain luck) and my co-worker (also Salvadoran, with a wife who has very gray area documentation), who voted Kamala has expressed his own positive Trump (and Bukele) feelings, particularly, fuck those Venezuelans and we're finally cutting waste. . .
eh

Hmmm, giant financial firm issues a buy rating on TESLA
Stock analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm long led* by now-Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, upgraded their rating on Tesla *long led=1990-2025
hmm, sounds fishy to me

Also with all the pearl clutching on how the stock market is 'tanking'
some facts:
DJ 1 year return as of today 5.2% (still way better than any cd or savings account)
DJ 5 year 108%
Only people getting burned are those who invested a lot after trump was elected in nov
anyone who has been in the market for more than a few minutes is still doing very well
they may be like it was worth x only a few months ago…but what was it worth 6 months ago….are you still up, yes. then quit bitchin
I wish I could find my buy statement on gold (GGW where are you when I need you most)
as that's on a tear (1 yr up 41%)
but little late now, I'm placing gold on hold (hmm, might be the title of my latest ep)
