  OK. Now we know the price attached to a #vote. #$5000. Maybe the #Democrats can make it $6000, then we can start a bidding war.

  Donald #Trump can offer $5000 for votes with impunity. #SCOTUS gave #POTUS #immunity from #prosecution for official acts

  Let's be honest. If #Trump gives out any #money it will be to male, white, wealthy #Republicans . That's it.

  Just getting rid of things is hard. But what if .... fill in the blank. So I have a storage unit full of things that haven't been touched in 5 years, 10 years, who knows how long.

  Way too much concern over #Trump's #$5000 pledge. It's only if the #Republicans retain control of the #Senate and the #House. They won't. So no money. Trying to find a source for the money is wasted time.

  There are too many #independent #truckers. Too many small trucking companies. We need fewer companies. Let's raise #diesel prices and force them out of business. Then my #billionaire #campaign #contributors can buy them up, take over, and control #transportation #infrastructure to a much greater degree. And we can paint them as #heroes at a time when #America was hurting. #Megacorporations to the rescue!

  The #ArtoftheDeal by #donaldtrump . Make a deal, change the terms when you announce the deal, when the other guys says that's not the deal you accuse them of reneging, loudly and often.

  Thoughts from an outsider: If the #AI companies could share the wealth, there would be a lot less concern with where and how they got their #trainingdata. But they can't. It's not money in a bank somewhere. It's valuation. #Valuation is a 2nd cousin to imaginary. It exists because somebody says these guys might make a bunch of money someday and everybody acts like they have that money somewhere, right now. They don't. They might live like they do. But it's...

  Used to haunt this 24hr computer lab back in the #80s. It was all new then. The #internet was command line. Graphics were #ASCII. We had talks about the future of it all. One opinion was that it would be #TV all over again. We were right. Once somebody figured out how to make money using it, that was the end. It's just tv squared.

  Pete #Hegseth (come on, we all know he's #Trump's ventriloquist dummy) wants to reduce high level military by #20%. Wanna bet it's the 20% that has the balls to stand up to him?

  A glimmer of understanding. #Trump is about things. Not #people. By destroying #Iran's infrastructure he thinks he's destroyed the country. He doesn't grasp that Iran is the people not the buildings. People are secondary in Trump's world. #Property is first. No such issue with #Netanyahu. He has concentrated on people from the beginning. #Putin is closer to Trump then he is Netanyahu.

  #Trump announces an energy cease-fire. #Russia strikes energy facilities in #Ukraine. Ok. It happened quickly, so we'll say that strike was already underway when the announcement was made. Now, if Ukraine retaliates we can say they broke the cease-fire. "The truth is what I say it is!"

  It amazes me that #Trump hasn't dislocated his shoulder patting himself on the back.

  I was thinking about #DOGE today. Don't know why. They were going to rewrite the #SSA software in 6 months. Jump to today. Some basement office, multiple computers, state of the art stuff. In the middle of it all some forgotten 22 year old sitting at a desk, surrounded by red bull cans, pizza boxes, and m&m wrappers. One monitor has some AI codebot. The other is showing a section of the 50 million lines of code whose only saving grace is that it works. He's muttering to h...

  Patterns. Look for patterns. Defund #solar. Defund #wind. Call #climatechange a scam. A hoax. Invade #Iran. Who benefits? Big oil. Right down the line. #Trump has always belonged to #BigOil. Trump and his cronies could not care less about #thepeople.

  #Iran is a convenient way to keep the prices high. Mo Money for them that has.

  I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm cynical in my old age. But I can't make myself believe anything #Trump says. He's arrogant, ignorant, and powerful. A dangerous combination. Now we have " Do as I say. Pass my bill so I can control who votes or I won't sign anything" Works for me. Too damn many laws anyway.

  #Trump served 4 years, was out but still around for 4, and is now 14 months into a 2nd 4 year term. I still don't know if he believes the crap he says, or if he knows he's a liar. I don't suppose it matters. He has a loyal following that buys into his bull no matter how false it is. It just really irks me. Can he possibly believe the crap he says? The self righteous have a long history of #stupidity.

  When writing about #journalism or the failures thereof, it's important to remember that journalists have families and mortgages and bosses. Don't criticize the little guy trying to get by. Go after the billionaire owner who told the editor in chief who told the editors who told the reporters what they can write. It starts at the top. Always.

  Sometimes I just keep going, even though my give a damn is gone. Push on through, find another day, look for another way. I was young once. Had a floppy gray hat with a bright purple patch on it. Keep On Truckin! I guess that's all we can do in this world we find ourselves in.

  A convenient myth: That guy on the off ramp? Man, he's making all kinds of #money. Why is it a convenient myth? Makes it ok not to give, not to help, to drive right on by. Hell, it makes it ok to be pissed at the bum. He's probably got more money than me. Ride on by and feel ok about it. #society #homelessness #inequality #indifference #SocialReform

  Sometimes I think about the things other people have that I don't, and never will. Then I look up and see people begging everywhere, every traffic light and intersection. People carrying everything they own. Young and old stuck in a spiral that leads nowhere. And I can see how thin the thread is between me and them. #poverty #ubi #indifference #slumlord #hunger #aging
