Hey, the “building” of a phone is the part where Mercans put in those tiny screws, as suggested by Administration staff. The low-tech stuff, like fabricating doublesided circuit boards and the microcircuit and mucrowave filter parts mounted on them, all that easy cheap stuff can be done by other people to support the screwers.

Trump is worse than worthless as a negotiator.

Glad I cancelled Prime some time ago. Haven’t missed it and I usually get free shipping anyway by buying elsewhere. I’ll even pay more to avoid Amazon.

But, but – he said before they were kissing his ass.

Gee, wouldn’t it be a surprise if a stock selloff by administration people had occurred just before this announcement? No one would expect that.

It occurs to me that the electoral system might be used in Pres elections to work (very slightly) in that direction. What if a number of associated candidates made a pact that their electors, if elected, would vote for whichever of the pact makers got the most popular votes overall? Like if Sanders and Biden and Harris were in a pact like that of Democrats (named chosen of unlikely future candidates). People could vote for whichever, avoiding split-the-vote tactics. If Sanders won a state, but Harris got more pop votes nationwide, his electors would instead vote for her. Complicated maybe, but it wouldn’t need any constitutional changes, and might make disasters like a Trump win less likely. Dumb idea?

Once again: not “Trump”. It’s “Republican Party” planning and doing all this

The deadline change?? He’s way past that. Pre-election he told us he’d solve it in under a day. Of course he said he’d bring grocery prices down too, but his sheep don’t seem to care that prices have gone up.
