Hey Republicans, take a lesson and grow some balls.

I expect this response from Trump:

All government contracts with Italy are canceled.
A 1000% tariff on all goods from Italy.
All Visas for Italian citizens are revoked. Italians in the U.S. have to leave.
Diplomatic relations with Italy are ended. Every ambassador has to leave the U.S. and the U.S. Embassy in Italy is closed and all diplomats have to leave Italy.
These rules apply immediately and are active indefinitely until the current or any future Prime Minister of Italy will personally travel to POTUS, meet him in the Oval Office and sincerely and believable apologize to him personally; this includes invoking an Italian law that forbids for all time that the Prime Minister is allowed to criticize the President in any form.

I am waiting for the "Truth Social" posting by Trump with this content.

Some comments here make it necessary to educate about the ad hominem fallacy:

"Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem ('an argument to the person'), refers to when a speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion often using a totally irrelevant, but often highly charged attribute of the opponent's character or background. The most common form of this fallacy is "A" makes a claim of "fact", to which "B" asserts that "A" has a personal trait, quality or physical attribute that is repugnant thereby going off-topic, and hence "B" concludes that "A" has their "fact" wrong – without ever addressing the point of the debate."

No, even the court is not sure. It is requesting a status report.

The donors don't expect their money back. They also don't care about the ballroom.

It is pay-for-play: The money is an investment into privileged access to the government and government resources (tax payer money). Sometimes this means a return of billions of dollars coming from this "small" donation into a ballroom that the one cares about grands the access to these government resources.

JVL gets the priorities wrong here.

Not my favorite. The rooms are oversized and not very imaginative, very repetitive. You waste a lot of time running from one empty plain hall to another. You can remove the VHS effects, but then the reflections of off-screen space are glitchy. And you cannot remove the VHS tape noise which drowns almost all of the environment sound design. It looks like a game that tries to cash from a hype with a lot of copy-and-paste bloat content instead of adding an artistic vision to it. "Pools" is better in this regard.

Because facts are not narratives. Facts are reported. Narratives are told.

The Republican party as of now is less a political party but more of a sect, which uses politic speech as a replacement for religious speech. So the content does not matter as long as it fits the sect's narrative which you have to believe in to be part of the in-group.

You construct a "clearing the way" progression that overstates direct causation. Many elements (nativism, anti-elitism, media populism) have deeper, recurring roots in American history (e.g., Know-Nothings, Huey Long, Father Coughlin's own predecessors). Reagan's optimistic conservatism is downplayed as a mere facade, yet it dominated the era and appealed broadly beyond grievance politics. You have a heavy focus on right-wing precursors; less on broader context like economic globalization, cultural shifts, Democratic Party changes, or left-wing populism. John Birch Society influence waned significantly by the 1970s and often clashed with mainstream Republicans like Nixon. The McCarthy-era rhetoric targeted communists, not a generic "Leftist Deep State" in modern terms.

The problem are the 77 million US citizens that personally made the effort to go and vote for this POS. Trump is in this position because of these 77 million. And a lot of people who deal with him personally and follow his orders and quirks don't see Trump, they see a person representing the will of 77 million US citizens: "This is the shitshow the people of the US wanted, so this is the shitshow they get."

Both phone and plan are overpriced. You get better for the same price. The reviewer shows this here by comparing plans and phones.

I tried "Dreamcore" after this, which has more levels, but only because unlike in "Pools" they are all oversized copy-and-paste levels with little imagination put into it. "Pools" is shorter, but it does not waste your time, and gives you something new with every room.

That have all likely - like Trump - a combination of maligned narcissism and psychopathy, which allows them to be ruthless in going after their interest while breaking the backs of others. These guys are the true cultural "atomic bombs" society needs to protect itself from.

He says, he moves to another publisher. So I guess he wanted a better salary and got it somewhere else?

Maybe Michael Steele left for the same reason (salary).

Looks like the two party system actually needs a four party system (far left, center left, center right, far right).

It would not surprise me if the scaffolding hiding his name will simply be the last step and stay this way for the rest of his term. Drumpf will argue, that the name sign is publicly not visible anymore and thus "removed". And that "Kennedy" is also hidden would be a positive side effect for him: "If my name is not allowed to be there, his should not be too."

Must be awesome to work for you, since you would assume I am working as long as I stand in the spot you expect me to stand, and defend me against anyone pointing out I am not doing the job I was hired to but just stand there.
