I am starting a list of Aptronyms that might pop up if one were to write a book about the Trump era, that future generations might think were too on the nose to be real. (I had such a thread on the other site back in the day.) www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/a...

The Criminal in Chief pardoning a drug lord & starting a war with what he calls a narco terrorist, is definitely sus.

It's not about drugs.
He allowed Juan Hernandez to go free for planning to traffick 400 tons of Cocaine into the US.

Oh dear.
Not only did Trump fu** over farmers because of his deals with South America.

But also, the eradication of USAID, to which all MAGA cheered.

Who was one of American farmers biggest customers.

You guessed it.

USAID.

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

I hate that I had to look up if a President can preemptively pardon war crimes.

The fact that it popped up in the predictive text is worse.

More FAFO policy for US health--Chiropractors but not nurses, NPs, PAs, public hlth, etc.

DoEd: "professional degree" internal def. to "distinguish among programs that qualify for higher loan limits"--not a value judgement abt program importance.

So why not change the label? Opportunity for Canada

I saw something say that AI was making undergrad degrees useless and I can't ignore the fact that tech bros and billionaires want everyone else to not attend college to ensure the populace loses critical thinking skills and push them out of the ability to overtake them.

For context: Jack served as head of the Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush administration. He’s widely regarded—especially in conservative legal circles—as a leading authority on executive power. The fact that he’s expressing this view in such stark terms is significant.
Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith:

“In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’”

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.
