Go fuck yourself. This is someone who was a child when he watched his friends die to a school shooter. And then faced the worst that the rightwing noise machine could throw at him as they accused him of being a crisis actor and denied that the event happened at all. He has been attacked by politicians and media since before his voice changed. So fuck off with your milquetoast judgments about how something seems a bit “off” with his public persona.

You are correct. “Bankrupt” is a little strong. But selling existing bonds back into the market while the U.S. is trying to issue new debt would not be great for America. I think dollar devaluation is 100% in the cards.

The US has been living on credit cards for decades now. The rest of the world has supported it because the most important thing for everyone is stability. With trade agreements getting ripped up, and nonsense tariffs everywhere, supporting Americas consumption habits is not necessarily in the world’s interests anymore.

Canada alone holds almost $500 billion in US debt. Europe and Japan hold another $2.5 trillion in US debt. America is picking fights with people who can bankrupt them.

Bad faith is the term. IANAL but I’ve been married to two of them. “Bad faith argument” for the action, “acting in bad faith” for the actor. It captures the idea of appearing to comply with procedure and orders, but deliberately misconstruing meanings and inventing ambiguities to justify actions. A gentler version of this is “sharp practice” which comes close to, but doesn’t cross the line into bad faith.

I’m not a phone person. What benefit does this provide?

True heterosexual love between a biological man and a biological woman. It’s why he never hooks up with Lois Lane and keeps sneaking peeks at Jimmy’s junk at the gym.

I don’t know man. From here I think it could be feet.

I’ll take two!

My parents did. But that was before I was born, so the early 1960s.

Dictionaries are like cats. They just find their own home.

I’m 60 so I’ll take 40.

I know several people that have bought more than one wedding dress.

Or better yet- don’t travel to the US.

Because the rule of law is broken.

I honestly don’t know. I’m physically at the office 35 hours a week. But I’m a knowledge worker and the problems I deal with are always rattling around in my head. So I think about them while driving or at the gym. If there was a way to track that I suppose it might be 70+ hours.

Is there a spelling mistake?

That’s not a face son.

He was a Buddhist who spent a good many years living in a monastery on Mt. Baldy. The Sopranos is exactly the kind of project he wouldn’t be involved in.

Why can’t we get accurate information about this?

Because the Internet has been broken by tech “innovation”. But no, no he didn’t.

Less than 50 lbs a year. It doesn’t make any sense to manufacture in Canada and move it across the border. It’s easier to import precursors and manufacture in the US. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/politics/us-canada-trade-fentanyl-fact-check/index.html

eta: thousands of pounds move from Mexico to the US. But it’s not a factor on the Northern border. Now if you could stop smuggling guns up here that’d be real nice.
