we got the same worms

Unintentionally accurate: the five dollar bill without soft power means you don't get a nice cup of coffee, because you aren't getting good coffee from the countries who make it.

'Soft power doesn't matter' remains one of the most obviously juvenile takes on foreign policy.

@Chris_arnade I was referring to the endpoint (I think I'm reading that correctly) by the White House.

51 years ago today we had the first quarterback ejection during a game in NFL History.

Vikings' Fran Tarkenton scores a TD and is tripped by Patriots CB Ron Bolton. Fran then fires the ball at Bolton's head.

Both players were ejected after a big fight.

It is almost certainly a designed attempt to cripple the city. And it is a direct result of lack of self representation. Wild way to treat the citizens of the US capital.

Pretty clear the Republican party is doing everything it can to completely tank DC.

-cutting $1 billion of DCs own, locally funded budget.
-installing an inefficient Trump toady as the US Attorney for the District.
-cutting $1.1 billion in Medicaid aid that they are due.

BALL DON'T LIE

Very good news: The new Viagra Boys album is awesome.

@MazMHussain The Viking comparison breaks down quickly, but they certainly were big on attacking defenseless/lightly defended civilians, utilizing their tech advantage (shipbuilding) to avoid harder military targets that could put up more of a fight.

I think The Last of Us slightly botched the season 2 twist by giving too much setup. It hit harder in the game because you had no idea it was coming.

Should've dug a few trenches around Jackson Hole. #TheLastOfUsSeason2

That said, I am even against terrorists (when the term is correctly applied) being shipped off to the gulag without due process. You should be too. If they can do it to anyone then they can do it to you and me.

[Tom Walton @IATomWalton]

MS-13, like the Mafia, Crips, etc, are not "terrorists" as there is no political aim to what they are doing. They are gangsters. Members should be tried like criminals.

The definition of the term has gotten sloppy over the last few decades because it's politically expedient.

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

There's still lots of uncertainty in the air, but D.C. is getting closer to having to start making $1.1 billion in cuts to its current budget – all because the House failed to correct a mistake it made. The House just left two for two weeks, so the time for a fix may be up.

It will never cease to amaze that Americans basically just got bored of having the best lives on the planet so they elected a lunatic to blow it up in the hopes of building some microwave factories for their children to find meaning in.

That said, in 50 B.C. the Romans did have a major problem: ultra-wealthy demagogic elites tearing the state apart in the single-minded pursuit of power and dominance, eventually leading to the Republic's bloody collapse and its replacement with a less agile monarchy in 31 B.C.

[Tom Walton @IATomWalton]

Take comfort in these trying times that the same worms will eat all of us.

Within 5 years some chamber of commerce person is going to look you dead in the eye and say Democrats were responsible for these tariffs.

Does the DOGE Office use an AMI jukebox? Why?

[Wheeljack @SJWheeljack]

Humongous blackpill that these people spent the entire election telling you Democrats are pure evil and then immediately started cursing Democrats for their inability to halt the illegal actions of a fascist government when they lost the election. Is this not what you wanted?
