Jiri mentioned in the Jeopardy thread but I am posting it here anyways.

Jeopardy had a Fascism category last night and Ken Jennings wasn't subtle with his dislike for Fascism

“We’ll be taking from Ukraine what we’re entitled to take.”

And selling citizenships for $5 million? I’m sick.

Ken Jennings has been a critic of fascism and Trump for a long time.

Here is a link that compiles Tweets he made back in 2016 and 2017 about Trump. Some of them are hilarious. Warning though, the site is a MAGA source. I am only posting it because I couldn't find the Tweets compiled anywhere else and it is more efficient than posting each individual one. I am definitely not endorsing the site or anything else someone might read on there.

Haha this morning I saw that it's April for Tariffs now and "pending negotiations"

I think people are starting to see through it.

Oh, also the keystone pipeline MUST get built despite the US not needing our oil.

I think Trump is learning behind closed doors that becoming fully self reliant for all these industries and resources isn't the walk in the park he thought it would be.

[missdpuck]

So, he’s blabbing about tariffs again, blaming Canada for everything. “We give them cars!”

[direwolf]

The more he blabs on about this nonsense, the more people are starting to see through it and take him less seriously. He clearly doesn’t have any clue about what he’s talking about or how the world works. Dude is the dumbest human being on the planet.

[KelVarnsen]

I don't know which one of them you are talking about

[WideReceiver]

Listening to Michael Wolff’s book Landslide. This may be my favourite part.

During his 2020 campaign, Trump is talking to a finance guy, and is quite impressed.

(Paraphrased)
Trump: “Would you consider coming to work for me?”
Finance guy: “I’m your campaign CFO.”
Trump: “Oh. Where did you work before that?”
FG: “I was your 2016 campaign CFO.”

About 300k actually https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-f...-for-the-first

People are mad mad about private security firms quashing the first amendment.

As they should be. Especially when the hired thugs refuse to identify themselves.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I know most world leaders wouldn't stoop to his level, but it would be funny if they started referring to him as Vice President Trump, or just Donald. He doesn't deserve the respect.

[Ped]

And I read the guy in charge was the sheriff, who was off-duty so getting paid extra.

[woob]

Sheriff is claiming he wasn't involved, despite video showing otherwise.

Understanding How Reactive Abuse Is Weaponized In Idaho Politics

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Agriculture Department predicts the current record prices for eggs could soar more than 40% in 2025, as the Trump administration offered the first new details Wednesday about its plan to battle bird flu and ease the cost of eggs.

I was told egg prices would be coming down and I believed that because I'm as simple an idiot as god ever created. That I'm able to grasp object permanence is a miracle in and of itself.
