  1. It means when and if Trump TACOs, it goes away.
  2. He wasn't overmatched at all. The problem, the fundamental problem, was anyone thinking that a final conviction in two first-ever prosecutions of a FPOTUS could be secured in four years. The only way that could happen was an innocent President who insisted on a speedy trial to prove his accusers wrong. And, of course, it wasn't Smith that re-elected the sonofabitch, creating the four-year time frame.
  3. To be fair, Sesame Street was created in the pre-Friedman capitalist era, when business was a bit less psychotic about growth and quarterly reports and share price. But, profit motive, in whatever form it took in 1968 and prior still was not up to producing educational TV for kids.
  4. It's not completely random. Seiko on the 007 and some others, including that one, rotated the movement so the crown/stem isn't at 90 degrees so as not to dig into your wrist. The date wheel goes with it. I haven't found the crown digging in to be much of an issue. However, my watch during most of college was a Hamilton Field Watch like this. And the crown created this sort of callus on my wrist. I didn't know it was happening, I couldn't feel it. But on the rare occasion I took off the watch, I could see this little patch of skin that was different from the rest. For a sec, I actually thought It was leprosy or some shit.😬😬
  5. It's not an issue of "wholesome." First off, Daily Wire is producing propaganda for kids. It might be some truly dangerous psyop shit. This is one of the most insidious features of your team. The educated world does not "indoctrinate" kids, it exposes them to ideas. Your ideas are repugnant, so they require indoctrination. Sesame Street was specifically designed to provide the kind of engagement that privileged kids got in preschool for disadvantaged kids. In other words, free preschool at home for poor kids. And yes, now Sesame Street is a moneymaker, just like the Muppets and I'm sure various other "franchises" created under the auspices of CPB. They in all likelihood would never have existed without a) funding from CPB and PBS and b) airing by PBS stations. Private funding would have been obsessed with whether they could sell enough ads for Count Chocula in their time slot.
  6. Yall got this all backward. PBS funded and more importantly aired shows that had characters, that BECAME popular, thanks to PBS. Now they could theoretically make money off it, but they don't own the rights. Some poor shmuck like Fred Rogers or Jim Henson owns the rights. And, pro tip from pharma, marketing costs money. Lots of money. Those that are sufficiently well capitalized to make shit tons of money from their shows and characters don't NEED or WANT PBS. They'll go to some other bunch of whores like Disney.
  7. What's astonishing is that Trump's connections to Epstein have been well-known for 20 some odd years. I suppose the Qturds were unaware of this. OR, they thought Trump would expose it all, including some innocent explanation for his Epstein connections. Either way, they're seeming to have a tough time with this one.
  8. Take a look at the Orient divers. https://www.orientwatchusa.com/collections/sport/ra-aa0009l19a Solid watches.
  9. Well, bad and badly cooked steaks still exist. I personally like a little bit with a pork chop or tenderloin. And I am of the understanding that it goes well on a certain whataburger that is thick and hearty.
  10. Which makes his MIL the secretary of education who doesn't know artificial intelligence from steak sauce.
  11. Oily bohunk
  12. Spending is spending I guess, but there isn't a ton of consumer or taxpayer-oriented spending in that bill. I guess it will trickle down. 😬😬
  13. Why didn't the private sector generate Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, etc? And now we're concerned about private media having to compete with PBS? Fucking hell.
  14. Sounds pretty accurate to me.
  15. Pondering it a bit, PBS, being non-profit, is missing the profit incentives that make other media complete shit. You could argue that private sector could/should produce such a thing on its own. But the empirical "data" suggests otherwise.
  16. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/08/trump-statistics-bureau-labor/683749/ For decades, Donald Trump has been at war with numbers. Some have capitulated more swiftly than others. His weight, his golf scores, and his net worth have long fallen in line.
  17. Yeah I saw all that. Still don't make no sense and wore me out. So much so that I took a break.
  18. Yeah it's looking backward. Because PBS CREATED that shit. Something that commercial media did not. So now you can get it on YT, bfd. Someone has to create that stuff in the first place. Online media is toxic as hell. OTA is all about ad revenue. PBS is all about content.
  19. She's just an incredible cunt. Look how smarmy she is.
  20. Well, it doesn't precisely treat it as normal, but it leaves a whole hell of a lot of shit just hanging. For the audience to figure out.
  21. Well we had about 25 years of commercial radio and TV without educational programming for kids. Until PBS came along. So yeah maybe that ol private sector doesn't quite meet all the needs.
