I’ve ordered one of these before all the tariffs hit

You joke but I would have that truck in a second

The problem is that even if stuff isn’t made in the US, unless they’re dropshipping from China they would’ve still paid the tariff so the costs are passed on anyway.

Had another thought and those specific trucks are less exposed to tariffs than the petrol ones would be.

All Cummins engines used in the US are built in the US.

I'm sure GB News will suffer the most horrific gumming of the shins ever imaged from OFCOM, the useless fucking cunts they are.

The only things I can think of that are truly US made are Jack Daniels and Taylor Swift concerts

Concerts are a multi national thing, I can’t see the riggers, lighting and sound crew and then the dancers all being American.

As for Jack Daniel’s they can keep their paint stripper if they like

I can’t believe I missed this. I just saw it and thought it was satire but it seems to be true - Netanyahu gave donold a golden pager the other day.

He has also said that if he’s assassinated, Iran will be destroyed immediately.

Sounds like a massive win for Israel if that’s all they have to do. That pager is NOT subtle

The Maga crowd are calling Kendrick a DEI hire for the half time show.

He has 22 grammys, an oscar nom and a pulitzer prize to his name.

What does Kid Rock have?

All the best sexual abusers are there. Including the president.

I don’t think the fragility of white supremacists will ever stop being funny tbh. Kendrick is generally regarded as one of the best musicians of his generation but sure, DEI hire.

And a song about a GNX!

Plus a song titled “Not like us”.. sounds perfect for the fascisti

He confirmed he was doing this in September last year, so it’s not exactly a surprise booking or a “this will show them” hire,

[ZedLeg]

Yeah, they’re just mad that there was no way they could make the Superbowl a Trump victory lap with him on the show.

[mik]

Helpful - as always.

He’s given permission to ethnically cleanse Gaza if the hostages are not returned by Saturday at noon.
Then again sounds like that’s going to happen regardless of what happens but I guess it looks less bad for Trump if Israel does it.

Are all those pro-Palestine university student protests & occupations kicking off again ?

I've just spent an hour watching Joe Rogan interviews, and it's really scary how vindicated the American right clearly feel right now. The level of bullshit is almost total, and I can very readily see how the MAGAs will carry on evangelising for Trump, even when their world burns around them.

Everything was about "exposing fraud". Elon and his little cabal of incels are all heroes for finding fraud in the form of "woke"-sounding foreign aid projects. More perniciously, it's all one big "media fraud" to create a falsely woke agenda that nobody really believes in. And *everyone* was in on it and on the payroll. Oh, and public medical funding is one massive fraud because drug prices are too high (to be clear, it's the programmes to provide funding for old and poor people that are apparently the scam, not the private insurance-based healthcare system they use for the actual provision). And whooping and cheering "we're gonna take Gaza". Oh, and apparently Trump "solved" the immigration problem on day 1.

At this point, I'm really struggling to see *what* could possibly happen that wouldn't be: dismissed as woke propaganda; shouted down with outright lies; or, lost in cries of "America, fuck yeah!"

I've depressed myself now

Joe Rogan will be remembered as a new lord haw haw in the future.

There's growing coverage of how the shutdown of USAid is going to negatively affect US farmers (from who USAid bought $2 billion in U.S.-grown crops from corn and soybeans to wheat, sorghum, vegetable oil and peas in 2024)

This represents about 10-20% of all US food exports

The whole "people voting for policies that will directly harm them" continues unabated

Half a billion dollars worth of food currently is at risk of spoilage in transit or at warehouses in the U.S., including a facility in Houston where many Midwestern crops sit awaiting ships, said former workers for USAID-related groups.

“This stuff has a best-by date, and it’s not moving because of these executive orders. This is enough food to feed 36 million people,” said one employee of USAID
