That was then:
...In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are f*cked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely...
Elon Musk is telling Republican lawmakers in private meetings that he is not to blame for the mass firings of federal workers that are causing uproar across the country, while Donald Trump reportedly told his cabinet secretaries on Thursday that they are ultimately in charge of hiring and firings at their agencies – not billionaire aide Musk...
At least for the moment.

The mess down South is not going away, it will only get worse - day by day by day.
It is clear now that Trump and Vance are Russian assets and the USA is slowly becoming a Russian vassal state.
The American public are oblivious to this simply because they have been trained to be. There educational system has all but banned critical thinking, with almost all education now based on the 'rote' method.
Americans lack almost all historical content, except their Hollywood history of exaggeration and contempt.
The result, is what we see today, a malignant narcissist as president; an imbecile as vice president; a religious nutter as majority house leader all doing their best to create an authoritarian and ignorant religious state, based on misquote Biblical doctrine and graft.
Didn't any of them ask Musk who he thinks is doing it all? of course with trump now telling cabinet ministers they're in charge of hiring and firing, he can certainly blame them and he and musk can continue on their merry way. when people get into bed/business they certainly won't be kissed, might get a dose.
Given what trump has done regarding weapons and information for Ukraine, well nothing now, its going to cause more problems for Ukraine. What Trump just doesn't seem to get once putin is through with Ukraine he will move on and the U.S.A, could be next. As a friend always says regarding cheaters, If they'll do it with you, they'll do it to you.
"religious nutter" , good description of him. just haven't figured out what religion he is practising. Nothing what these zealots say reminds me of what I was taught in sunday school back in the 50s but hey the parental units were Presbyterians and me by the age of 10 was an atheist.
Off topic Ross - Neil – as good as it gets.

I'm not a big Doug Ford fan overall...However, he's pretty good in this long interview with CBS....Lots of details..
"Ontario's Premier Doug Ford moving ahead with tariffs on the U.S."

My thoughts........There is no metric Canada can meet to satisfy Trump's demands on trade fairness....
More fent/Cocaine, guns by a country mile are coming across the border from south to north....more undocumented people are trying to cross into Canada from US....The amount of Canadian Dent heading south is about 0.02%
The trade deficit the US has with Canada is not what Trump calls a subsidy....if you take oil out of the equation Canada buys $55billlion plus in wares n goods from US than they buy from us...and we have 1/10th of their population..
Also....Americans pay Trump's Canada tariffs....Trump keeps telling the US population other countries pay them..
The point i'm making is.....You can't negotiate with someone who lives in a different reality, who makes up numbers out of whole cloth....
Think about is....Trump initially said he's tariffing Mexico and Canada over fent n undocumented crossing the border..
less than 1% of fent going into the US comes from Canada and less than 1% of of undocumented persons try to cross from Canada into the US......More illegal drugs are seized coming into Canada from US than the other way....And more undocumented persons attempt to come into Canada from the US...
You can't say the same of the US/Mex border....80% of the Fent from Mex/US border....and 99% of undocumented persons attempting to and or crossing into the US comes from the southern border.....Yet Trump slams Canada with identical tariffs he imposed on Mexico...
If Mexico/Mexico border did 1000% better in stemming people and drugs from crossing the southern border into America they would still be way behind Canada..
There is no metric Canada can achieve to satisfy Trump's unreality claims for the reason he's tariffing Canada..
Dad told me long ago..."never argue with an idiot, you can't win"

It should be illegal for the government to give money to colleges. It's just a bribe for them to do fake science and other fake scholarship that enforce the government's narratives.
Any examples you can share with us?
So, how would the colleges be funded? Would it be just a bribe for them to do fake science and other fake scholarship that enforces the narratives of those who donate to them.
Logic man, logic.
David Pakman.....some interesting polling.

Jay Bhattacharya was in pretty terrible shape five years ago. He was losing sleep and weight, not because of the COVID-19 virus but in response to the efforts of his colleagues at Stanford University and the larger medical community to shut down his research, which questioned much of the government’s response to the pandemic.
Some of his Stanford colleagues leaked false and damaging information to reporters. The university’s head of medicine ordered him to stop speaking to the press. Top leaders at the National Institutes of Health, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, dialed up the attacks, dismissing him and his colleagues as what Collins termed “fringe epidemiologists” while their acolytes threw mud from a slew of publications, including the Washington Post, The Nation, and the prestigious medical journal BMJ.
In the years since, many of Bhattacharya’s scientific concerns about the efficacy of lockdowns and mask mandates have been corroborated. Fauci, meanwhile, accepted a pardon from President Biden, protecting him from COVID-related offenses dating back to 2014, the year he started funding research at a Wuhan, China, lab that U.S. intelligence agencies now believe probably started the pandemic. And this week, Bhattacharya looks set to achieve surprising vindication as the Senate holds a hearing on his nomination to head the NIH, in a Department of Health and Human Services run by science nonconformist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Bhattacharya’s path from health policy scholar to NIH director nominee is pockmarked with craters from missiles launched to destroy his scientific credibility by NIH leaders and their minions in academia. Even as he seeks to advance medical research, Bhattacharya’s personal experience will likely inform his pledge to clean up the NIH and clear the agency of some career civil servants who silenced dissenting scientific voices during the pandemic and created national policies that were not always supported by the public.
“Free speech is fundamental for science to function properly,” he notes simply.
That ^^ one is for you, Lew.
Cry havoc and let loose the MAGA anti vax - anti everything trolls. So much Fox Entertainment blather. Organizing any measles parties for kids?
Evil eye you're on fire...
Bhattacharya heading up NIH and working for Kennedy Jr. Great.
If that team had been in place when COVID hit there would have been no vaccine developed and the herd left to sort itself out.
Now all they need is to cut all the funding, then have Elon fire all the researchers like Christy and De Jong did here, where that approach did not end well.
It will not end well in the US either.
Lew needs another booster by the sounds of it...:-).
Not due for a couple of months, but thanks for your concern.
There are many children these days who could use a measles vaccine though. They are being unnecessarily put at risk by their parents and the likes of Kennedy Jr because a vaccine for stupidity hasn’t yet been developed.
And here is an evidence-based and fact-backed assessment of the 'work' of the estimable Dr. Bhattacharya and what has NOT been corroborated re: COVID...
Apologies all for being slow on Troll removal duties - I was busy over the weekend...
