The New Coffee Room

Nice. We lived in a colonial revival when I was a teen.

You probably had a few shitty ones.

As for the Terafab, it strikes me as a national security priority. We rely on Taiwan which means we’re at risk of being reliant on China for them.

I actually very much appreciate him when he’s doing what he’s good at, which is building the future.

When he’s just being an internet troll or failing at reforming spending, not so much.

Don’t get me wrong - he’s a great troll. Probably the best. But this is an example of David Ricardo’s theory of comparative advantage - as good a troll as he is, he (and the world) are better off if he sticks to his knitting.

one thing I've seen on X is that FBI has not revealed all the evidence that was presented to the GJ.

Do you believe that? The indictment makes no mention of any other evidence or even the existence of any other evidence.

A theory is that Comey was using that to promote his book that is coming out this month.

I’m curious how that theory goes. He posted a photo on instagram in the summer of 2025 to call attention to his book coming out in the summer of 2026?

Trump announced that Giuliani’s last wish was to be buried with the Epstein files.

I think there’s a good chance Don Jr throws his hat in the ring.

Could Vance and Rubio really run against him? (Assuming Trump sr is alive).

What says you?

But back to the video, I assume that's real? SHe's shaking like that and will be 80 by the end of the next senate term...

I think Platner will walk away with this one.

Write in John Boehner or something.

And then he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.

Figured we’ll need this thread.

Putting aside that it’s a bit rude for this guy to make fun of her health, is this video real?

Want.

Germany with its famous "German engineering," India with its army of IT professionals, Japan with its dominance in high-end consumer electronics, South Korea with its humongous electronic component manufacturing capacities, the UK and the entire European Union with their combined economic might ... it's like they don't exist in the global AI tech race.

In UNO that means you're losing.

Fucking morons.

This is a great way to visualize it.

Heh. The Rubio-on-the-sofa meme is like the Chris-Christie-on-the-beach meme of this era. Versatile and never gets old.

Hegseth also evaded question from Congress as to whether he’ll deploy troops to polling places during the election.
