Now, send each of them a letter and ask them to put their money where their mouth is and support local initiatives, not just consulent-thinkthanks and big organizations in suits.

I’ll bet none of them are Republican!

Can't they just give their money directly to us poor folks and cut out the middleman?

This leaves me underwhelmed. There are more than 10,000 Americans with net worth over $100 Million and more than 2,500 worldwide with net worth over $1 Billion. It appears the vast majority are firmly in the "fuck you, I got mine" camp.

But not necessarily. It's a new thing, and there is a very good chance the momentum will grow. I'm restacking because we need to make it a thing to do. Thanks, Wonkees!

I'm not greedy...a million cash would be plenty.

Jamie Raskin sprang a trap at the end of the hearing...he pointed out thanks to Judge Cannon's gag order, there was a strong case for holding a separate public hearing on the documents Trump stole and stashed in his bathroom, ballroom, etc at Mar a Lago. Slam dunk.

Rad's avatar

Is it my imagination? Has Trump literally become the "Max Bialystock" of the planet? "Did you bring me my checkie-weckie, my little turtle dove?"

LyftControlledCities's avatar

Max Bialystock libelz- at least he never tried to rename every theater in NYC after himself...

Films lie to you.

Un homme et une femme, which is an excellent 1966 nouvelle vague Lelouch film, the race driver dies and some other guy gets the woman.

In Le Mans, Michael Delaney hooks up with Elga Andersen.

I'm lucky if I can get a barista to give me a second glance.

It's all lies.

Fake news! You just need to prove to a lady (of substance) that you have brains.

i moved to chicago on purpose, i am not being held against my will: days like this were just a normal winter occurrence in iowa

At the rate his brain is giving out it's only a matter of time before he's pulling his weenus out in public to play with it.

It might take him a bit of fumbling to grip it.

...and now Trump has his list of suckers for his "Board of Peace"... whose entry to the board requires (checks notes) a $1B (or thereabouts) donation. tRump, BTW, looks to install himself and the President of said board.

Stulexington's avatar

He's also thanking the board of peace for nominating him as chairman, proclaiming it to by quite the honour.

This is so pathetic. "Just give me a billion dollars, for whatever."

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

I wonder if these people have *actually* paid.

LyftControlledCities's avatar

Checks on closed accounts are a thing, you know.

If you have billions, what's a $25 overdraft fee?

Trump's mad-lib of a brain marches on..

Me, talking to The Little Ol' Lady Cat, "It's less than no degrees outside, very tough day for outside cats!"

The Little Ol' Lady Cat, via brainwave: "Iz you goin' to the kitchen? Let's go to the kitchen!"

The reason cats are in charge is because they manage their priorities so well.

Florida man charged with felony after allegedly hurling ketchup packet at good Samaritan https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/florida-man-charged-with-felony-after-allegedly-hurling-ketchup-packet-at-good-samaritan/ar-AA1UNjPU Is this becoming the weapon of choice?

Shocktreatment's avatar

Simmons’ alleged victim was left with “two spots of ketchup on his jacket,” while police noted an open condiment packet was “pouring out on the floor.”

It's Florida, so clearly a capital case.

JCfromNC's avatar

As the writer put it, Simmons' past ketchup'd to him, as he had a prior charge that meant he got the book thrown at him for a 0.2 oz ketchup packet.

I mean, geeze, make the man pay for cleaning the jacket and let him go with a stern talking-to or something.

those who throw ketchup in white houses shouldn’t point stubby fingers

The Wanderer's avatar

The Homunculus hurls ketchup, so why not?

And while a ketchup packet might be stretching the definition a bit, the felony battery was for previous criminal history, and not for using an instrumentality to strike the victim against their will.

OK, so, the new Ferrari F1 for 2026 looks beautiful (you can find that online now) but listen to startup.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muAlUVvOqwE

There is only one time time you get initial startup of a brand new engine. This is it. It takes a bit to get it going! Then it runs.

Nancy Naive's avatar

Heard the brand new EF1-T start. Click.

Sojourner Truth's avatar

So, video of boxes that sounds like an air chisel?

Mr Beeep's avatar

I love the sound of my car starting each morning. Means I can get to work :)

Bobathonic, Dingus Crusher's avatar

I like the new cars a lot more than the ground effects pigs. I watched the Merc doing photo runs at Silverstone, the new cars are noticeably narrower and seem to have simpler bodywork.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

I was looking at the induction scoop and the sidepod radiator scoops on the new Ferrari 26 and it's something.

https://media.formula1.com/image/upload/c_lfill,w_3392/q_auto/v1740000000/fom-website/2026/Ferrari/F678_still_f03_16_9_v10.webp

That's a small engine induction scoop but massive radiator scoops. Interesting.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

When I start my crap race car, sometimes it's a swine. "Not gonna. Not gonna." and you have to warm it and be nice to it and then it'll be "OK now I'll start"

I cannot even imagine with an F1 engine.

Nancy Naive's avatar

My car takes after me. It drinks too much, smokes too much, and is hard to get started in the mornings.

YaJagoff's avatar

I don't have a race car but the car I have sometimes is a bit hard to get stared, the fix for me is to talk dirty to it. 9/10 works. BTW that startup sounds badass.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

My fucking thing hates cold weather. 32F and it's "nope. fuck you. not gonna start." and we have to run the oil through a bit and piss around with the fuel pump and it'll still be "nope. fuck you."

I've got video of me and Mr S sucking on oil lines trying to empty the sump and we get bukkaked with oil and it's just "why the fuck do we do this?"

Then the oil goes back in and the car starts and it's "THANKS, YOU SHITBAG, NOW GO FAST" and it does

tek's avatar

Nothing like a blowjob to get things started!

Man, if only I had a woman who liked my stupid hobby as much as I do.

Films lie.

marxalot's avatar

alas, the “crowds of adoring chicks” bit is as much part of the male fantasy as the “big vroom” part

and that’s consistent across most of the thrill fantasy hobbies

cooking, now!

Nancy Naive's avatar

Won’t start when 32F and below?! Leyland!

All right, Wonkers, pray for me. It's March for Life day. Let's hope I only have to yell at a few people in metro stations (for having no fucking clue what they're doing and being in everyone's way) and nothing more.

Shocktreatment's avatar

"Just because I stopped to look at my phone! At the top of the stairs!" or maybe "in the doorway!'

cotugirl's avatar

Thanks for the PSA. 😁

Tza's avatar

If you must be in DC, morning only. March is in full swing with toad closures by lunch

cotugirl's avatar

I remember the nice times when our safety/security office would remind us of these events so we could plan accordingly. 🙄

Tza's avatar

We’ve gotten reminders all weeks for commute planning

cotugirl's avatar

Stand on the right. Have your method of payment out and ready to use.

A few years ago a bunch of tourists were standing on the left. I could see the train coming. I said excuse me and no movement. Then it's don't stand on the left which enraged him. I told him to get with the program, some of us aren't fucking off all day long.

"MAKE. A. GAP." (we often have people lined up at the card machines across the entire width of the terminal. thankfully I haven't had to throw elbows since 2023)

Bobathonic, Dingus Crusher's avatar

I had to board a plane the other week, and three women in a later group stood across the path. Just standing there. I squeezed past and said "excuse you". It's like people are in their own universe where nobody else exists.

cotugirl's avatar

Lol had to body check a group of 3 men this week standing at the turnstile searching for their Metro cards. Idiots.

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

I absolutely HATE the card machines.
