Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
A few months ago I was out later than usual and saw a very attractive, very well built blond in her early 20’s wearing a red MAGA hat, white tank and cutoffs with boots. She had forearm tats and was a smoking a cigarette. I was repelled by her hat but went in for a closer look because something seemed off. Turns out I was wrong. Her hat actually said “TRUMP VOTERS CAN SUCK MY DICK”

Yesterday on the Ryder Cup thread, I said the US could still win if Mike Pence had the courage, and one of our delicate friends responded that “it will all be over for you soon” Serious business

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
He’s realizing his hand isn’t as strong as he thought. Schumer and Jeffries need to go all in and stop making offers.

Markets still falling like whoa
So you’re going back to 2017? Go ahead and post the all-time graph. If your point is that scarce, low elasticity , highly differentiated goods that are both produced slower than the population grows and also more slowly than the money supply expands tend to be good long term investments, I agree.

Two parts good gin, one part dry vermouth. pour over ice and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled cocktail glass and garnish with an olive, pearl onion, or lemon twist, drink 3-5 slowly.- Mass Shootings

Gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there Bob. But I do think is that it’s deflationary in the aggregate. Either way, however, none of that is really relevant to the point. Way back on the ca. 2020 Covid threads I said somewhere that I anticipated a rather rapid U shaped recovery, driven by the same thing driving spending now, despite everything: income inequality. The top 3-4% of income earners have achieved exit velocity relative to the gravity that economic uncertainty and rising costs impacts everyone else. And that’s true for businesses as well.- Markets still falling like whoa
It’s a function of where the data comes from and who is in the top 20%. First, a lot of these data come from reports organized into quintiles. So it’s no surprise that the people who are spending are in the top 20%, even if some or a lot of the top 20% isn’t spending much, like you. Second- the top 20% contains a large number of baby boomers, who carry a lower debt load and pay less for housing than younger earners in the top quintile. The people who are spending at your income level may be older, life in a cheaper location, have a laid off house, etc. Third, it matters a lot where you are in the top 20%, because spending is increasingly concentrated through the top of the top quintile. The top 20% does about 63% of the spendinG, but the top 10% accounts for 49% of the spending. Those are both historic highs.- Trump’s America
Weird he was so awesome otherwise, what with putting his tone-deaf, politically ham-handed wife in charge of the push for universal healthcare and the repeal of Glass Steagal and taking advantage of interns and mass incarceration and his relationship with Epstein and whatnot.- 2025 Ryder Cup -- Bethpage
This. Going into the weekend I wouldn’t have imagined that President Trump would be the least embarrassing part of the Ryder Cup, but here we are. Next time I hear some dipshit in a visor run his mouth about the WNBA or the National Women’s Soccer team being too woke I’m going to reflect back on just how poorly this team and the fans at Bethpage Black reflected on our country.- Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]

As a strategic choice I basically agree with you, but what I would add is that every historical example I can think of tells us that those who accept soft autocracy end up living with hard autocracy.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I’m sure they will come up with some new way to fuck this up. For the record, if I was driving the bus, I think simplicity works best here. If I was Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer I would give my caucuses an edict: “The Republican caucus has taken itself hostage and we will neither negotiate nor beg for mercy. We will vote for a suitable funding bill when one is brought before us. From this point forward and until either the end of a shutdown or specifically instructed otherwise you are not to bring up the shutdown or engage in any substantive discussion of how it might end. Accept any and all media opportunities you wish but do not engage in discussion about the shutdown, particularly when appearing on Fox News. If asked, all questions about the shutdown, public and private, are to be answered with three words: ‘ask Mike Johnson.’ Follow up questions should be answered the same way until the end of the interview or the line of questioning changes. ‘Ask Mike Johnson’ is the only message you need.” - Surly Legendary Speak
