So Mahomes is the Maga that’s not dumb enough to put a Maga sign outside of his business, and destroy his business.

But not smart enough to relay this message to his wife.

Season just started. He’s not trying to answer those questions.

These are the people I worry about more than the crazy, all out cultists. They will willingly watch people suffer as long as they can save money during tax season.

They’re failing at understanding actual “basic economics.”

Gains from trade is one of the few thing every economist agrees upon.

Throw in the US’ status as the minter of the planet’s reserve currency and its status as a net importer, tariffs will make these people much poorer.


But for its first five, disgraceful, pro-eugenics minutes, Idiocracy would be a documentary.

As long as people get theirs, that's all that matters to them.

Many are failing at basic economics and civics. What they learn off their timeline is all they need to 'sound' intelligent.

On this one, Trump has somewhat of a point.

By dropping nuclear power, Germany made itself more dependent on Russian natural gas exports.


Either one of two things is true, and neither are especially flattering for Germany.


One, Germany allowed itself, knowingly or unknowingly, to be made weaker in the face of Russia, a country that they claim is an existential threat.

Two, Russia is not an existential threat but Germany says it is to promote weapons sales and/or to appease the US.


Either way, Germany doesn’t come off looking very good and they certainly do not come off as the new “Leader of the Free World.”

Joe Biden once had a great line about Rudy Giuliani “There’s only three things he mentions in a sentence; a noun, a verb and 9/11.”

Kamala needs to come out and remix it “Donald Trump, there’s only three things he mentions in a sentence; Donald Trump, a lie and a bigger lie. If words come out of his mouth, just know, it’s a lie.”

If they have another debate, that will be the sound bite that remains and it will short circuit him just like the crowd size comment.
