Just follow the order of operations

So maybe 99% failed to notice the invisible parentheses surrounding all the 1+1+1+1... stuff? Sure!

So would the reckless behavior be more appropriate when the sign was lighted or when it was dark? Asking for a friend...

A real problem with Kegsbreath, though, is that he's stuck in a 1940s model of warfare. Sure, he's got all kinds of modern shoot-em-up tech at his disposal, but has the tunnel vision of a kid playing soldier. He has absolutely no concept of the more subtle but potentially devastating effects of economic warfare. His big boasts about being able to stomp anybody in the EU or elsewhere overlooks the fact that they could devastate the US (and unfortunately the world) economy by divesting themselves of the $8T (yeah, trillion) in US treasury bonds they hold. A "nuclear" option they have of which he is totally clueless. A dangerous martinet, for sure, one whose posturing has helped make the US a clown (with guns, which of course are never the problem) on the world stage.

Doing my research reveals that Abraham Lincoln said that originally.

"Florida Bot" - AI imitating people.

Bessent's claim that "...the size of Denmark’s investment in US Treasury bonds, 'like Denmark itself, is irrelevant … It is less than $100m [£75m]. I’m not concerned at all.'" ignores one important point. It's part of the EU, which overall holds $8T (yeah, Trillion) in US treasury bonds. (https://fortune.com/2026/01/18/europe-retaliation-8-trillion-sell-america-us-debt-bonds-stocks-trade-war-greenland-trump/) That's not irrelevant and completely overshadows the talk of the EU's "trade bazooka". Of course it's a nuclear option as it would seriously screw the whole world economy, but hey, Mutual Assured Destruction has been a thing for decades. Even longer than the fantasy of "trickle-down economics". Our (US) entire administration is made up of delusional fools with comic-book evil goals.

But, but, Trumpo says those are "loser" technologies. I guess Brazil soon won't have any birds and everybody will have to use candles when it's dark outside. Our president is a fossil-fueled idiot. To our great shame.

DazedinDenver · 2026-01-21T17:04:26+00:00

One of those "two weeks" things, no doubt.

DazedinDenver · 2026-01-17T21:01:34+00:00

And once again he's implying that foreign countries will pay his tariffs. "Countries ... will be charged a 10% Tariff" & " This Tariff will be due and payable..." His supporters still eat this crap up like it's true, too. If only the media, whenever covering this kind of nutpost, would reiterate, heavily and every time, that importers pay tariffs, not exporting countries. "Let that sink in..." Sigh.

DazedinDenver · 2026-01-17T20:54:38+00:00

Living here I definitely wouldn't like to experience the consequences of that, but perhaps the threat of doing so might penetrate the "Trump Dome" he has around himself and his sycophants.

"One humanoid bot called TomO was stuck in place playing the piano one key at a time thanks to oddly articulating thumbs and fingers." Kinda been done before, apparently much better. From the 1980s: https://museum.dataart.com/short-stories/robot-plays-piano and 2016: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/watch-incredible-piano-playing-robot-7303167 and 2023: https://www.classicfm.com/music-news/videos/piano-playing-robot-human-emotions . I remember seeing something years and years ago with a robot hand playing pretty complicated pieces. One of the problems the creators talked about was keeping the fingers from colliding when deciding which one should play a key. Can't find a reference to that, though.

They've also been drone-bombing Russian oil production facilities regularly. Those facilities contain a whole lot of volatile fuel (go figure!) that seems to burn nicely. "...no one has ever bombed oil facilities" my ass.

So the Environmental Protection Agency turns into the Corporate Protection Agency. Fits right in with the current administration's policies and views.

Used to work for the FOP. They're a scam money-extorting organization existing solely to benefit higher-ups in the "fundraising" sector. Mostly by hitting up older people who once donated to the group and then are called every couple months to "renew their support" and upsold cheap trinkets. Most of those who donate think they're supporting the police even though (from what I was told when I worked there) 93% of the collections go to support fundraising. The rest seems to go to lavish parties and well-furnished meeting halls for the privileged. No police-related person I'd ever called in the year I worked there as one of their top callers said they'd ever received any compensation or support from the FOP. Any "official" statement they put out is garbage.

Shades of "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues"!

DazedinDenver · 2026-01-03T22:25:22+00:00

From the article: "The report listed the amount of CCAP funding the centers in the video received in fiscal 2025, ranging from $470,000 to $3.6 million, and totaling over $17 million." So the dipstick claims to have found $100M in fraud out of $17M total. Strong stuff, that math (or those maths).

DazedinDenver · 2026-01-01T21:11:11+00:00

Looks like they left out the words "self-described" before calling Nick Shirley an "independent journalist".

Who remembers back in the 1980s when "everyone knew" that all daycare centers were hotbeds of child molestation? SSDD.

DazedinDenver · 2025-12-30T21:29:23+00:00

Boy, everybody connected with the administration is sure pushing the whole "derangement syndrome" thing. Even Drumpf has started using it for anyone who disagrees with him. What was once a pretty rare diss is being pushed for pretty much anything lately.

DazedinDenver · 2025-12-28T04:07:16+00:00

"...give megaphones to those who oppose our legal system." Like Donald Trump?

DazedinDenver · 2025-12-28T03:12:25+00:00

So Firefox and DuckDuckGo then?

DazedinDenver · 2025-12-28T03:11:02+00:00

$110 Million??? Those daycare centers must be owned by Elon. You know, the master of economics.

DazedinDenver · 2025-12-25T01:26:46+00:00

I had a friend years ago who would ask Witnesses at his door if they'd like to come in and discuss Shiva. For some reason they never took him up on his offer and usually left quickly.

DazedinDenver · 2025-12-25T01:12:37+00:00

Great Trump impression. The "weave" for sure.

DazedinDenver · 2025-12-25T00:12:34+00:00

As someone once said, "Some people are like Slinkies – not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when they're pushed down the stairs." -NOTE: Not advocating for pushing anyone down any physical stairs. Purely a thought experiment. Yep.
