I think we should just name everything America. There’ll be no question of finding America on a map, because, well, it’s right there. Knowing geography is probably DEI or something anyway. ---

Look at Bombardier’s share’s performance today and check who short selled it about two hours ago, if you can. I can’t, the SEC won’t, but the shares are listed in Toronto, the Canadian stock exchange autority could investigate. Wonder what would happen next if they found out that the short seller had insider illegal information from the horse’s\* mouth. \* Horse, see stable genius. ---

Yeah. Green Lanterns are chosen for their indomitable willpower. Sinestro and his Yellow Lanterns are powered by fear, and the terror that they inflict upon others. On the other hand, the [**Orange** Lantern](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Orange_Lantern_Corps_(New_Earth)) (and there is only one, Larfleeze) is powered by greed. Which fits Trump oh so very well, especially given his skin tone. ---

A dear friend’s cousin voted for Trump not because he preferred any particular position espoused by Diaper Don, but because he felt that the American political system is broken beyond repair and that voting for Trump would be the fastest way for the system to collapse completely, and the sooner it can be replaced by something that actually works for the majority of Americans. Based on the few values I know he has, I guess you’d classify him as a revolutionary progressive. He supports power to the working class, free (subsidized) health care, and is about as color-blind as anybody I know. He voted for Trump to speed the change he wants to see: Dumpster fire, then a phoenix from the ashes. ---

Of course Speaker Johnson adjourned early. Can’t have any impeachment votes. Also saw that the House was only in session 4 of the last 100 days. No need, run the country by executive order, gut feelings, and trvth social. ---

What are they gonna’ do if after the midterms they actually have to gasp work? In our wildest dreams working people could never get that many days off paid.

I don’t know. I think he thinks it’s working out the way he expected and hoped, though. And with the rise in popularity of Mamdani, AOC, and other Democratic Socialists, he may be right. ---
