Now you may think Theodore Roosevelt writing the then definitive book on the Naval War of 1812, or Herbert Hoover writing the then standard textbook on mining engineering, or Thomas Jefferson inventing the cipher wheel were impressive intellectual feats, but none of them can hold up to: Donald J. Trump, world's foremost authority on grass:





In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Quote from: Sheilbh on August 22, 2025, 02:36:34 PMSimilar with Nvidia which got an export licence for a chip that had been restricted, 15% of the revenue will go to the US government. Something similar with AMD for one of its chips. Now this.

Capitalism with American characteristics (although as someone not opposed to state involvement in the economy and industrial policy, not totally opposed to the Intel one - the other two just seem like straight up bribes).
I wonder how Trump is getting his personal cut.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

They will have to pay the government's share in Trump Coins.

I suppose we should all offer to build a Trump tower in our capitals.

And Norway's Nobel committee better go and hand him the Peace Prize for all his... work. :uffda:

I don't play golf. But I hear from friends who have taken to this ridiculous sport that cheating is rare. Trump is hardly caught on camera without his caddy helping him cheat.

Thing is, even though you want to, comrade, you can't put the world on cheat mode or god mode.

You've had a bad run of presidents since Bush senior, America. I wish you the best. Truly.
