Politically engineered messaging masquerading as the voice of the common man didn't have the saturation or the penetration it has today.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone old enough to remember Tipper Gore.

They're likely monitoring emails sent from government servers for specific words and phrases.

Allowing a bunch of morons to use their phone during screenings is sure to stop movie theaters from dying out. /s

They found a way to make going to a theater even less appealing.

Of all the things that will never be investigated this won't be investigated the most.

"I think the Chinese may be playing chess, while Trump plays with himself."

FTFY

This link explains how they are not and never could or will be dire wolves.

Gene edited grey wolves != dire wolves. They got great publicity from the stunt though.

This is the kind of stuff cartoon criminals do.

I am sure the DOJ isn't happy.

Bold assumption, this is now Pam Bondi's DOJ.

From the article: "The DOJ argued the case should be dismissed because prosecuting Adams would interfere with his ability to cooperate with President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies."

Eric Adams was thoroughly corrupt as a cop and as mayor, good riddance.

More: "For all intents and purposes, the US is now a rogue nation when it comes to trade," said Michael Gasiorek, the director of the UK Trade Policy Observatory at the University of Sussex.

"I don't think there is a global trade war going on. The US is fighting a trade war with everybody but the others are keen to co-operate even more."

More: The end of U.S. economic leadership. Britain played this role through World War I, but it was too weakened by war to continue. The U.S. didn't take up the leadership mantle until after depression and World War II. U.S. leadership and the decision to spread free trade produced seven decades of mostly rising prosperity at home and abroad. The U.S. share of global GDP has been stable at about 25% for decades, even as industries rise and fall.

That era is now ending, as Mr. Trump adopts a more mercantile vision of trade and U.S. self-interest. The result is likely to be every nation for itself, as countries seek to carve up global markets based not on market efficiency but for political advantage. In the worst case, the world trading system could devolve into beggar-thy-neighbor policies as in the 1930s.

The cost in lost American influence will be considerable. Mr. Trump thinks the lure of the U.S. market and American military power are enough to bend countries to his will. But soft power also matters, and that includes being able to trust America's word as a reliable ally and trading partner. Mr. Trump is shattering that trust as he punishes allies and blows up the USMCA that he negotiated in his first term.

A major opportunity for China. The great irony of Mr. Trump's tariffs is that he justifies them in part as a diplomatic tool against China. Yet in his first term Mr. Trump abandoned the Asia-Pacific trade deal that excluded China. Beijing has since struck its own deal with many of those countries.

Mr. Trump's new tariff onslaught is giving China another opening to use its large market to court American allies. South Korea and Japan are the first targets, but Europe is on China's list. Closer trade ties with China, amid doubts about access to the U.S. market, will make these countries less likely to join the U.S. to impose export controls on technology to China or to ban the next Huawei.

Well they waited for the markets to close for the day before they made their announcement so you couldn't watch them tank with each new tariff he announced.

20% on EU

34% on China

46% on Vietnam

24% on Japan

Nothing sells cars like an armed mob of fascists surrounding the dealership.

Did you not understand that that article you posted was an April fools joke, Corky?

It keeps getting worse.

Republicans are incapable of governing.

Undoubtedly a coincidence that this happened right after Tesla released data showing sales plunged 13% in the first three months of this year. /s

Working as a line cook at Hooters is what made me decide to go ahead and join the Marine Corps. Terrible job at a terrible company.
