Trump isn't just any asshole. He's a clearly cognitively declining, sundowning, misogynist, angry, bitter asshole. This unhinged woman hater has no business living in our White House. Also, what a repugnant lack of group solidarity by these reporters; particularly the men.

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.
But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.
When are they going to learn?

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

Seems like execs are pretty substitutable then.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

So maybe it's just about marcos's bruised ego and he wants to become el Héroe de los Cubanos
"The real aim is to overthrow Maduro and then, by cutting off the flow of VZ oil to Cuba, fulfill the Repub. right's dream of collapsing the Cuban gov't.
It’s unlikely to work this time either, though the cost of a military conflict will be higher for U.S. interests and much higher for Venezuelans."
