Adam Serwer writes "Caked in foundation, manly Fox News hosts have gushed that Trump tariffs, by supposedly making it possible for Americans to go back to work in mines and factories, could be the 'ultimate testosterone boost.' No more desk jobs!"

I chose a work desk that has bubbling water in the background. And easy power for the iMini.

I have great respect for Founder Benjamin Franklin. I wish the current US government respected the middle class.

The MSM has to stop using the term ‘substack’ and just say ‘blog’ so Substack can lose some name recognition. I’ve watch segments where commentators had Ghost sites and their online presence was called ‘blog’ not ‘Ghost’ but stackers get the brand-check acknowledgment.

Anil, you were the first dash I met on the interwebs. I will be amazed if your middle initial is M. Anil Em-dash has a ring of legacy about it, now even more notable in the era of AI slop. So I hope your middle name doesn’t start with M.

Wondering if there are chaplains serving alongside ICE Sturmabteilung Agents. If so, do they hand out pepper balls for Communion?

I was just proudly recalling altar boy service history with my spirited comment. I am glad ICE hasn't visited Catholic Social Service Centers--but perhaps they fear Papal Backlash if they threaten that institution.

Lads, Full Monstrance means altar boys with fresh ash on foreheads, incense swirling from gold-plated burners, and nuns or monks chanting Gregorian. Like we do in laneways once a year in County Tipperary.

It is time people start outing family members, neighbors, and community friends who are drawing salaries from ICE. This needs to happen because storm troopers are not decent Americans. Look for the new $50000 truck in a driveway and a spouse who is tight-lipped about the husband’s new job.
