Generally cranky, but in a good way.

@LStargazer54 @maggieNYT @joshrogin Journalists are not the ones leaking.

@anmut @SenMarkKelly You could swap the descriptions and still be right.

@SenMarkKelly Trump is doing whatever benefits his handler, Vlad. By that measure, he is very successful.

@RpsAgainstTrump Not sure this will work out the way the Speaker thinks.

@JohnnyBeeDawg @BenMullin I think you meant “inconvenient news” outlets are not invited. If you don’t want negative coverage, stop doing stupid shit like picking a fight with Canada, starting a war with no plan to win, or awarding no-bid contracts to shady contractors to complete your vanity projects

@ClockDying @RpsAgainstTrump Whatever the cause, I agree the SPR should not be used simply for political expediency. It should be saved for legitimate emergencies.

[Tom Swennes @socalduck]

@ClockDying @RpsAgainstTrump If I recall, Biden tapped the reserves to mitigate increases that resulted from Covid-related supply shocks. Trump did the same thanks to the Iranian war. As for “telling the truth” whatever BS comes from the Dems is dwarfed by Trump, who lies about even the most trivial stuff.

I asked Claude to rank the presidents in these tiers according to the scholarly consensus. Then I asked ChatGPT to make the image.

I did not move anyone according to my own personal preference.

@eatinglasvegas @uoh1826 Another Fertitta outpost selling overpriced seafood from the Sysco Sea.

@VitalVegas Cheap room, but you are in Primm.

[Tom Swennes @socalduck]

@JoeSquawk SkyNet will fix all of this!

@VitalVegas Chuck E Cheese for idiot adults. The grown ups take the escalator down to Dons’s Prime.

USS Abraham Lincoln’s resupply problems weren’t a mystery. Iran hit NSA Bahrain—the 5th Fleet’s main logistics hub—hard in February. The Navy had to shift to Diego Garcia, 2,200 miles away instead of ~800. Transit times roughly tripled, so replenishment dropped from every ~3 days to ~10. That’s the logistics reality behind the shortages and 200+ days at sea without a port call. The Pentagon fired the editor of Stars and Stripes for telling the truth.

@UpstateNYBob5 @AntiTrumpCanada Proof of wife video.

@VitalVegas Spring of 2000. Steve and Elaine were walking to their table and Steve caught his foot on my chair and nearly fell down. To his credit, he handled it with class.

[Greg Scott @GregScott04]

@RepJackKimble It’s also important to note that Washington was put on the decoy horse.

[Tom Swennes @socalduck]

@RpsAgainstTrump Costly? This is from the same moron that wants to spend billions needlessly retrofitting aircraft carriers with steam catapults.

[Tom Swennes @socalduck]

@_ZachGriff @Delta So, basically DL is recreating the old DFW hub in Austin? If I lived in Austin, I would be thrilled.

@EdKrassen If Rubio doesn’t approve deportation, he won’t become President. Even in MAGA world, there is little sympathy for the Tates.
