The New Coffee Room

It's fine to criticize Trump, if it's warranted. Around here, demonize is a more common modality. Kindly spare us the melodrama of your personal thoughts regarding Trump’s victimhood. It has a particularly disingenuous odour surrounding it..

Well, you know they had to get Russia in there somehow.

Yes one of the few facts on the ground with Trump's tariff insanity remains that he does not have the runway for any best case tariff scenario to actually play out. He will spend all his political capital as the plane hurtles down that runway, and it will never take off, because a different administration will be voted in, mostly on a no-tariff platform, which will suddenly become the greatest political messaging since no boys in girls sports.

@Axtremus said in The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Their War Plans: Gmail ... https://www.axios.com/2025/04/01/mike-waltz-signal-gmail-security Much ado about nothing.

Speaking of cross species sex, how are ewe doing?

@89th said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: @Horace said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: @89th said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: @Horace said in Is anyone tracking DOGE lies?: How about a pat on the back to DOGE for exposing this hilarious retirement mine fiasco? Nobody wants to high five them for that? You do realize this mine wasn’t a secret before? Maybe Elon discovered it but it’s not new. Further a former manager of the site said there’s “no elevator that restricts how many files (therefore people) can retire per month. It’s literally on the same level as the entrance.” And there isn’t a cap of 10,000 or 8,000 per month, the mine has nothing to do with the pace of retirements processed each month.” Sometimes I feel like Lt. Daniel Kaffee. Illegal immigration wasn't a secret before Trump, either. Attention has a way of changing priorities. Mark my words, even if they digitize the entire iron mountain process, it will not change the pace of federal retirements. Btw they said it will only take a couple of months. So let’s check back in the summer to see if it’s done? Yeah, that one I agree was a little fanciful. It would take that long to design the system to hold these records digitally. I wonder at what age can they dispose of these records.

@Mik said in 400,000: He also tried national healthcare. So did Nixon.

@jon-nyc said in Gen Z? More like Gen Trump.: @Horace said in Gen Z? More like Gen Trump.: The "master of practical wisdom" framing is your own, or, more accurately, the story you tell yourself a direct quote of Horace 1.0. If you say so.

@jon-nyc said in Glad the free speech folks are in charge: They want a kind master. That’s certainly the case, to a person, with the maga movement. Hence the tie-in with monotheistic religious fervor.

I have some left over today as they were the large leeks. Maybe make some potato leek soup.

But the toadying is nauseating, and the refusal of those on the right to criticize Trump and his gang for their obvious mistakes is ridiculous.

@jodi said in TNCR about to turn 20: Piano world was going in 1998, maybe a little before that. I started asking about pianos there before we went to Colorado in 1999/2000. I bought my piano in 2000. What was the other board that was active back then, rmmp? Dewey and Larry came over from there. The three boards at that time were RMMP, Mr. Land's and PW. I remember well when you bought the CW.

@Horace said in Biden lied. Imagine that ...: @Deep-Fakes jon thinks you're GeorgeK, who used to write that phrase. I'm pretty sure it's Tom Cruise.

@Doctor-Phibes So we’re being led to believe.

By deal you mean imposition?

@jon-nyc said in Your idea for a polymarket topic here.: They tell no tales. Wrong tail.

Gosh I’m thankful my kid isn’t spouting off stuff like this on social media. That was hard to listen too.

Nice Jon! I just got back from a 4-day trip to a waterpark in the middle of Wisconsin where it snowed a bit while we were there, so you know... basically the same thing.
