Back to the face-eating leopards and their surprisesā€¦ Had dinner with a group of cousins, one of whom I hadnā€™t seen in many years. He went into the military right after high school, then later became a cop, so his conservative political views were no surprise. He genially agreed not to talk politics, but mentioned that he voted for Trump because Trump would be good for the economy. Thing is, after he retired from the police department, he took a job where he handles trucking logistics. And now that ports are idling and imports are halting, the trucking industry is going to be hurting - a completely predictable downstream effect of those big beautiful tariffs. How that will affect him personally, as far as job security, Iā€™ve no idea; but if the trucking industry collapses, itā€™s going to be obvious to him that Trump was NOT good for the economy. Whether heā€™ll admit he was wrong or rationalize it away, Iā€™ve no idea. ---

No no, they are correct, Brazil is the land of football, thatā€™s why pride ourselves on being ahead in victories against them (we won 43 matches and they 42, Brazilians will tell you that this is not so, but you canā€™t trust them on that). Other Brazilians will tell you that most of the matches won by Argentina were before Football was widely embraced there, and before they let black players play, but we donā€™t see how that is OUR fault. Anyway, we have the better meat and the best players ever, but they have more World Cups and in Argentina ā€œCuantas Copas tenĆ©s?ā€ is the ultimate discussion winner. ---

When Republican Presidents keep their promises and enact their policies, GOP politicians blame the previous administration while the conservative base blames, ā€œThe Governmentā€. Iā€™ve seen it here. ---

> [@Measure\_for\_Measure](#): > > When Republican Presidents keep their promises and enact their policies, GOP politicians blame the previous administration while the conservative base blames, ā€œThe Governmentā€. Yeah, theyā€™ve completely bought in on this immutable entity ā€œthe Governmentā€ that just exists to interfere with them and that the Republicans are gallantly fighting. And they will quickly come to convince themselves any hardship or shortage they experience is worth it for the long-term cause. (They are already being softened for it with stuff like the nonsense about getting only two dolls and so forth.) ---

No sympathy. Youā€™ll note he was MORE than happy to inflict pain on others (more than that, he wanted to and reveled in it) and is only mad that heā€™s also getting a piece of it.
