Henceforth, artificial bids are now super bids.

What should we call super accepts? Trump accepts?

Catching up on news and Donald Trump's recent rally speech where he said letting Iran "take out Los Angeles" and "take out San Diego" would be a "very small price to pay”


America, when will you enact the 25th?

Unfortunately, never. Nor will the senate remove even after impeachment. Of course, the way the empty chair is filled doesn't bode well no matter if he dies in office. We're pretty well screwed until January of 2029.

If we're lucky, AI will put us out of our misery before then.

Donnie has not singlehandedly ruined the USA, but he DOES deserve a lot of the "credit" for how astonishingly far it has fallen since he was first elected.

His numerous atrocities and imbecilities would have been impossible without his witless supporters and gutless enablers. This bodes poorly for the future of the nation and the world, because after Old Man Donnie is gone these fools will probably give their allegiance to another disastrously ignorant jerk to carry on Donnie's string of cruelties and failures.

If we travelled back in time to a couple of decades ago, I doubt that anyone would have predicted that the USA would ever elect such a tremendously stupid narcissist as president...and then later elect the same dimwit a second (!) time even after his first train wreck of a presidency.

It's Nobel season again.
Polymarket odds that Trump gets the 2026 Nobel peace prize:

World Central Kitchen 1%
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya 1%
Donald Trump 1% - Buy while it's hot!
Julian Assange 1%
Greta Thunberg 0%

Amazing that Greta and Julian come in lower than Trump.

Neither of them has really been in the public eye much lately.

And there's probably lots of wishful thinking among Trump supporters.
