I wonder if it's going to be a cash bar like Mamdani

So, it looks like the Rs and Trump are gonna flinch on the shutdown game of chicken. Mid-terms are going to be brutal.

Mamdani has CASH BAR at victory party. Commie supporters disappointed everything wasn't free. LMAO. instapundit.com/755546/

Any ChatGPT users noticing ChatGPT being even more prone to hallucinations than normal?

This whole stupid Govt shutdown wouldn't be necessary if all allocation bills were separately voted on. But govt pork gonna pork.

Can't wait for the 50 year used car loans.

I did not have Somalian clan wars in US Politics on my bingo card. Did you?

No @peterthiel @BillAckman, 21st century stakeholder "capitalism" (aka socialism) isn't working for young people. You are comparing apples to oranges.

Yall voted in Jay Jones? Cooked…

If Trump loses this tariff case in SCOTUS(which everyone is saying is going to happen from the oral arguments), the US stock market goes to zero. All because of hatred for a single man. @SpeakerJohnson, @GOP are putzes. Pass a law. Congress has extended tariff powers before.

Mamdani had a CASH BAR at his victory party. If you can’t get a free vodka from this guy something tells me the free food and buses ain’t coming. Congrats, suckers.

Maybe if you guys managed the public narrative instead of Social Media middle school antics, the American people would have seen it is the Dems keeping the shutdown going and causing them pain. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Roger Penrose says AIs aren't intelligent. They don't understand. To understand presupposes awareness. We don't know if AIs are aware. Therefore, we don't know if AIs understand. To Penrose, computations of this sort may never be aware. #AI #Understanding

This so-called “free market” orthodoxy isn’t what it was five or twenty years ago. The rules and accepted practices have changed, and pretending otherwise is delusional. The government now plays a central role in corporate profitability. As Washington’s taxpayer-backed spending reaches absurd levels, income inequality becomes a growing systemic risk — and what’s fueling that systemic risk are the too-big-to-fail banks and mega-cap companies intertwined with it. This isn't just AI; look at SNAP spending at Walmart and how that flows to Tyson or Cargill. The more taxpayer support a company receives or the more strategically Washington treats a company, the greater its responsibility to society. Right now, CEOs are getting the best of both worlds at the taxpayer’s expense. It is effectively a new Biden/Trump (and whoever comes next) Peronism, aka welfare-for-the-rich. We found out during the Dot Com and then bank bailouts of 2008, that these leaders will not behave responsibly when the taxpayer is on the hook. Boards will 100% become compromised (no different than a Lukoil or Rosneft) if this model is allowed to flourish. I apologize if I came off as snarky, but this is the conversation government and financial leaders should be having, yet they are lining their pockets by refusing to do the right thing. We have seen this movie and we know how it ends. If you tell me we have free markets today as we did in the 1980s, I will know you are lying. A 5% setback in the S&P and we need a rate cut, a single bank failure (SVB) and we need to bail out some of the wealthiest in America. Dennis Kozlowski went to jail for greed after 2001 and the board claimed ignorance. Now the more fantastical and stupid the business proposal (Bitcoin Treasury companies), the more CEOs are rewarded up front (sh*t SPAC companies sponsored by Cantor). We can admit we need to do the right thing or people can sell me some pretend free market snake oil that we know is dishonest. Unfortunately, we can no longer do both.

Mamdani to all the youth communists that rallied around him "to fight the man" and get free stuff

JFC, it's Thursday already. I think I may have blacked out the last couple of days.

So @BillKristol , you are now a boob bait socialist? You were so smug throwing around "boob bait" and presenting yourself as a man with unimpeachable conservative principles. Today, are you admitting you lied to all your "boob bait conservatives" like @JonahDispatch et al

All analysis aside, @POTUS needs a win here on SOMETHING or the drift to communism is going to accelerate. BIGLY. And don't include FP. FP is fickle and changes with the wind.
