He knows his rich target audience

A “deal” with Trump isn’t worth shit. He always comes back asking for more.

And then he comes back and complains that Canadians aren’t spending their money in the US anymore.

Which unless it goes out through a window would eventually be turned into heat anyway, right?

Dave Chappelle has an awesome skit in which a blind black guy who was always told he was white is a member of the KKK.

The origin story of Mintberry Crunch

Those who attempted this are the scum of the Earth.

That one took me a moment

Good.

Or Conan O’Brien’s Dr. Arroyo

The problem I see with that is that this fund won’t last long enough to matter. I don’t even give it a decade before a different administration quietly takes the money from that fund to spend it on whatever.

I grew up exposed to French and European media. A few shows come to mind.

Nobody’s Boy: Remi

If you can find it, it is a powerfully emotional watch. Unfortunately I don’t know if an adequately dubbed or even subbed version is available. It is on YouTube in French but the auto translated subs are awful.

The Mysterious Cities of Gold

A great Franco-Japanese classic. Dubbed versions are out there.

All of the Asterix cartoons are decent and available dubbed as well.

Fast forward in time to the 90s and the show called Reboot is pretty solid. It was made in Canada and I heard that most Americans never heard of it. The first entirely CGI show. Someone rescued the original high def footage recently too so it should be out there.

Kevlar only stops very low power rounds and shrapnel. A typical rifle round is much more powerful and will go through too many layers of kevlar for a vest made entirely of kevlar to be effective and practical against that. For that you need ballistic plates that are designed to shatter on impact, absorbing the bullet and its splash and dissipating its energy in the process.

The total can probably weigh something around 30 lbs for something Trump-sized and can stop a typical rifle round. But the worst is that this stuff isn’t flexible or breathable. It’s hot and sweaty, chafes your skin, hugs your chest tight and you are sandwiched between two rigid and heavy plates. The front one goes way up to the base of your neck and can press against your throat when you’re sitting down and slouch, which Trump does. It’s a miserable thing to be wearing all day.

Immediate profit vs long term profit. Squiggly line must go up in the next 3 months. Who cares about in 30 years?

Everyone’s credit card is maxed out. The country’s debt is spiraling out of control. There is no more money to borrow from the present. Now it is time to put the future in debt by cutting back things like science and education. This will cripple the country on the long run, but who cares when that squiggly line is going up right now?

That has been going on for decades. Meanwhile China has been playing the long game and it is now reaping the benefits.

There is no way he will wear a proper vest with the plates required to stop a rifle round. His old spoiled rich unfit lazy pampered ass would find it too tight, heavy and uncomfortable to wear.

You keep the progressive values, but you keep the center of attention over the blatant corruption and show a genuine commitment to correct it. Otherwise the conservatives will hijack the attention away from the corruption again and continue the perception that “either side will sell the country to billionaires anyway”.

They won by focusing on fighting corruption instead of culture wars. I hope the Democrats are paying attention. They’re probably not though.

Nothing says unbiased like naming your encyclopedia after a political alignment…

They’re islands in North America that are French territories.

Wait until he learns about the Saint Pierre et Miquelon islands
