  • The suit stuff aside, what’s with his weird grammar? “You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland.” In this sort of sentence, “for” sounds much more natural than “by”. And I think the common phrase that “Person A hasn’t done right by Person B,” is more of an exception.

    But assuming he did mean it that way, then he’s speaking as if the people of Greenland feel wronged by Denmark, but they don’t.

    In fact, Americans are much more disappointed with Trump and Vance than Greenlanders are disappointed with Denmark. If disapproval rating was the important thing, then Denmark would be acquiring the United States.


  • Here is her quick political overview from this article.

    Love, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, made history in 2014 when she became the nation’s first Republican Black woman elected to Congress as the U.S. representative for Utah’s 4th Congressional District. She served for two terms between 2015 and 2019. While in Congress, Love championed sexual assault prevention and immigration reform. In 2018, Love notably clashed with Donald Trump, then the 45th president of the United States, by joining Democrats in condemning the Trump administration’s child separation policy at the U.S. border.

    Love was one of the few Republicans not to endorse Trump in the 2016 presidential election. She announced just before Election Day that she would not vote for Trump following the release of the infamous Access Hollywood video of him bragging about touching women sexually without their consent. “His behavior and bravado have reached a new low,” she said at the time.

    After she lost re-election in 2018, Love became a political contributor for CNN and made several appearances as a guest co-host for “The View.”











  • In America, shots get fired into people’s homes on a daily basis. That sort of thing doesn’t usually make even statewide news.

    We should worry about fixing those other problems before worrying about some rich prick. If the rich person is so concerned about their safety, why don’t they just hire some private security?

    I don’t see any reason why this is being treated as news.



  • I remember when Musk bought Twitter and then immediately started trying to save money by literally just turning off services to see what breaks.

    That actually wouldn’t have been the stupidest idea if he had done it in a test environment rather than production, or even if Twitter was a small website that didn’t mind downtime. But he did it in production on a huge site that people relied on being up, so it actually was the stupidest idea.

    And now he’s bringing the same stupidest energy to government. No investigation. No calculation. Just a toddler who has been put in front of a lot of switches.
