Hegseth double-tapped it for him. :-)

Cogent sailed a while ago. Here's a quote from Trump announces $12 billion bailout plan for farmers hit by trade war with China (12m:16s) :

Noting that's technically true, but nonsensical: Farmers need a bailout because of tariff / trade war that Trump started and he says bailout wouldn't be possible without the tariffs -- which are paid by U.S. companies and consumers. Once again, solving, or at least mitigating, a problem he started and proud of it. For example, China was buying tons of soybeans from the U.S. before he imposed tariffs, now they're buying them from Brazil.

Buy more cards - duh. /s :-)

Well... maybe less favored now. Donald Trump Lashes Out At Paramount Owners In Rant About Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Appearance On ‘60 Minutes’

Remember, everything is a quid-pro-quo with Trump, like this: Trump slams ‘lack of loyalty’ after pardoned [Texas] Democrat says he won’t change party. Trump literally expected this guy to switch from Democrat to Republican if he pardoned him -- which sounds like a bribe, that Trump (now) would be immune from prosecution thanks to SCOTUS.

To some extent, probably, and I'm guessing they'll find a way to pass it along to their customers, after writing the fine off on their taxes. Rich people and corporations care about every penny. For example: Elon Musk calls for abolition of European Union after X fined $140 million -- which is literally pocket change for him.

Noting that UPS and FedEx don't have to deliver to every address, USPS does.

Also, the Postal Service is in The Constitution, Postal Clause.

Surprising how often the former seems to work these days.

Um... aren't all ads suggestions?

Removing all the pesky leading white-space helps, but it never runs right after that. :-)

(Also, define "readable".)

Technically those fees are paid by the merchants, though a recent settlement with MasterCard and VISA may change things a bit.

The battery will love this. /s

I was going to snark about how Trump will just pardon them for this "white collar" crime, but then saw their names. Guess they'll either have to buy a *bunch* of his crypto or become presidents of another country, like former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez - convicted of conspiring in smuggling +400 tons of cocaine into the U.S., sentenced to 45 years in prison 1 year ago, and just pardoned (at the recommendation of Roger Stone and others).

I park in the driveway because it's difficult to get into my garage. It's a 90 degree turn and there's fencing along the top and opposite sides of the driveway. Not impossible, but a PITA.

Also, insert joke/commentary about "parking on a driveway" and "driving on a parkway." :-)

Which rich, tech-bro, donors running AI companies whispered this idea into his ear?
