Comment on In Vietnam, Gates Faces Balancing Act With Assertive China

MSNBC viewers were shocked when Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski visited Mar-a-Lago right after the election to bow down to Vice President-elect Donald. No one should have been surprised because they did the same thing in 2016. When you break up with a narcissist, you're supposed to go 'no contact,' and Donald has even accused Scarborough of murder.

After Elon Musk bought Xitter (I'll never call that rancid shithole site X) in 2022, he broke the social media platform. In 2022, Xitter was valued at $5.7 billion. By 2023, that number dropped to nearly $3.9 billion. By 2024, the brand's value had fallen to $673.3 million.

Via the New York Times: After ousting a slew of Republican incumbents they viewed as too liberal in a caustic primary, and then galloping to victory in November, members of the ultraconservative caucus hope to cement their meteoric climb to power by passing five priority bills in the first 10 days. Their agenda, known as the Five and Dime Plan, aims to immediately tighten election rules, invalidate drivers’ licenses issued to undocumented immigrants by other states, prohibit college diversity initiatives, prohibit the state from considering environmental concerns when making investment decisions and reduce property taxes. “We’re going to unwoke the state,” Representative Jeremy Haroldson, the next speaker pro tem, said.

This clown actually received applause for this at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix, AZ last Saturday.
