Why are they so hurt? Nobody’s hurt when Kid Rock does it, they just think he’s trash…

You’ve got people claiming to have deleted all his songs. I feel for them, but I don’t get it.

Likely conversation last/this week:

Putin (to Trump):

“We’re thinking about (aggressively) purchasing $10b of TrumpCoin this week, sending market cap to $50b, making you, Mr. President, one of the wealthiest men in the world.

Also, please cease arms shipments to Ukraine.”

Congress has been for sale a while. Now the world is for sale.

TrumpCoin is a special tax on the stupid.

Not a real Trumper. Just one of the 2024 undecideds voting on the price of eggs.

All those rallies and the guy has never seen Trump?

Tordjman said he planned to spend the night on the street next to the arena, despite temperatures forecast to plunge to around 19 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 degrees Celsius). He said he had yet to see Trump in person.
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity," he said.
Large swaths of the streets around the U.S. Capitol and White House have been blocked off by steel fences since last week, and police were visible throughout the city.

A really good article about the US economy and the way that voters regard news of the economy.

Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington will be watched with a hot mix of bewilderment, excitement and dread; it should be a riveting four years, best viewed from a safe distance.

Trump's victory carries two important lessons for politicians in Australia and everywhere: first, jobs don't matter as much as you think — prices matter more; and second, productivity and economic growth have a dark side.

TINY ITEM of not full support of GOP

Trump’s grip on the GOP is slipping as Senators Tom Cotton and Pete Ricketts openly reject his reckless TikTok reversal. They’re warning companies of catastrophic legal consequences if they follow Trump's empty promises. Even loyalists are waking up to his chaotic leadership, prioritizing national security over his impulsive, self-serving decisions.

Correct:
The document cites the judiciary, and especially the U.S. Supreme Court, as central to Trump's attempts to further his agenda, but says that despite the court's recent decision to expand presidential powers, "even the biggest critics assume that it will prevent the worst from happening."

Those that missed the inauguration can treat themselves:
Melania Trump on Sunday launched a new "meme coin," which caused the one launched by her husband to see its prices tank.
Donald Trump over the weekend advertised the new coin for his wife, by sharing a post by Melania Trump's account on Truth Social. According to Coinbase, "Memecoins are cryptocurrencies often inspired by internet memes or trends.

What do you think Tero, did TikTok try to fool us or Trump? I think it should be spun as another example of how easily Trump is played by our adversaries. They made him an offer—very publicly btw—and he jumped at it. Now he and his party are working to help TikTok!

Thankfully he’s got no insides, so we might be able to swing him back. Or he may screw them unexpectedly for no reason at all, because that’s just what he does.

[Tero]

TikTok is just another cool thing for him. Like TrumpCoin. He does not know any of this stuff, but he has people around him to stick these things in front of him. At trump tower it was gold everything. This bitcoin and trump card and other stufff is his new shiny thing. He is turning into Gollum. We have to be Bilbo.

Trump thanked Elon for fixing the vote counting computers in PA.

He's baiting the Dems and the media, while also signaling to his supporters the system is corrupt and he will do what it takes to win for them. The reality is the machines are secure and neither election was rigged. He's not an evil genius, he's just a schmuck who tells enough lies to keep being relevant to under-educated voters and the sensationalist for-profit media.

Absolutely. It's flat out trolling, he lives for the name calling and baiting, cause it's the only weapon he's got
