It's like that thing in dreams where you're falling and the ground is racing closer, but just before you hit, you wake up. Except what you wake up to is that thing in dreams where you're falling and

Sexy history of US sanctions on Venezuela

He doesn't have to run for President again.

The last time he did, two people tried to kill him, and that scared him.

He is already surrounded by sycophants who constantly tell him how amazing he is.

He is old, slowing down, and potentially ill in a way that requires frequent care.

This makes me less excited. The pattern so far in the US has been that we only elect generals to the White House immediately after awful wars.

I still think that's where we should hold the tribunals.

Yeah, thanks, I checked it out myself before replying because I legit couldn't believe that I'd encountered discussion of the quote itself but somehow not this connection, which kind of blew my mind.

I mean, still probably not something you want to be texting around, but jeez.

Wait, this is an Office reference? I honestly, until this post of yours, had not known that. Promise, cross my heart.

That bit of context does change things a lot. I had been thinking it was a very fucked-up thing to say.

Bringing more elements of pinball into baseball would be a huge win.

This is a joke, I assume.

China has been the most successful nation in Olympic table tennis, winning 66 medals (37 gold, 21 silver, and 8 bronze). Since 1992, Chinese players have won at least one medal in every event. At the 2008 Games, China achieved an unprecedented medal sweep in both the men's and women's singles tournaments,[6] and won both team tournaments.[7][8] With 20 medals, South Korea is second to China in the overall medal count. Japan is the third nation to have won double-digit medals. As of the 2024 Summer Olympics, 130 medals (42 gold, 42 silver, and 46 bronze) have been awarded to 118 players selected from 12 National Olympic Committees (NOC). Third-place matches were not held at the 1992 Summer Olympics, so all losing semifinalists were given bronze medals, resulting in four additional bronze medalists.[9]

In Trump's Big Beautiful Ballroom. And then we ship him to a brand-new facility in a swamp where he gets eaten by mosquitos for the next thirty years.
