Berkshire is selling off the US market and holding cash or Japanese investments. 364 billion and counting with nothing to buy, because we stopped investing in America decades ago.

You give them too much credit, goal is mass firing. They'll fire everyone that doesn't respond just to see if it matters.

Sure, lock Putin and Zelensky in a room until it's peaceful. At least we'll finally be rid of Putin.

Germany needs to figure out how to create the manufacturing boom the third reich created, with the politics of today. Last time they were the aggressors, this time they're going to be on defense.

Covid deaths saved Social Security over $200 billion alone. So only a hundred years of everything Elon has done to break things.

I'm pretty sure the judge wants to refuse the dismissal and thinks he has the grounds and authority to do it. But he's not gonna pull that trigger until he's checked absolutely every angle, because he'll be standing up to Trump directly. Sadly, he's probably having to consider the safety of his family as well as the decision before him.

He wasn't against gay rights, would probably be the best description. He specifically avoided the topic while campaigning in order to avoid his earlier controversy entrapping men from the Navy by sending men out to have sex with them. Not because he hated gays, he was just given a job, and wasn't against over doing it. Eleanor took a lesbian lover later on, and he hired a known gay man to serve in his cabinet. For the time, that's about as progressive as it gets. In modern times, Gore was to the left of Obama and Biden socially.

You make it sound like that's not by design.

Bernie was more liberal, FDR ran and won 3 times on a more liberal platform.

If Canada can join, then Australia should be next. Between them and French Polynesia it would create an empire that always faces the Sun.

Pretty sure he was already a puppet, that was just the rimming of the ring.

EDIT: Speaking of which, does anyone know if Marina Gross is still actually alive? I get not wanting media attention etc, but she seems like a ghost for someone that translates for world leaders.

Foreign offices were paying for Politico subscriptions, not a subsidy. Also given every other mistake Elon has made, it's more likely to be $8 than $8 million.

 

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

 

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

 

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
