president

They've chopped down cherry trees and waged full-on war. Riding the highs and lows of the leaders who've tried to Make America Great Again.

Lula Won the Election. The System Won the Term.
The count was clear. As of 21:20 Brasília time on October 25, with 99.83% of polling stations counted, Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court reported Lula at 64.116 million votes, 51.76% of valid votes. Flávio Bolsonaro had 59.755 million, 48.24%. The margin was about 4.36 million votes. Fewer than 0.2% of stations remained, not enough to change the result. Turnout was 80.79%, up from 78.92% in the first round.

Trump’s $400 Million Midterm Bet Is Running Into $6.50 Diesel
President Trump said on Truth Social that his political operation has spent more than $300 million on the midterms and will push past $400 million by Election Day. The money most likely flows through MAGA Inc., his super PAC. It lands alongside roughly $80 million from Michael Bloomberg on the Democratic side and $50 million in Republican National Committee transfers to party groups. Republican networks enter the final two weeks with a cash edge that Democratic networks cannot match dollar for dollar.

Buy the Election(s)
It’s not bad enough that we have to deal with the most ignorant president of all time in the U.S. His cabinet members make idiotic moves daily. The richest person in the world benefits by being joined to Mr. Cheeto President. You know who it is. Rockets to Mars, 14 kids by different women (that we know of), a ketamine-infused trillionaire who could use his money for good but instead buys elections.

The Oval Office Clock Kept Moving While Nobody Said a Word
The clock in the Oval Office moved through ten minutes. Trump stood behind the Resolute Desk. His right index finger tapped the wood. Three taps. Stop. Two taps. Michael Dell stood in front of him, dark blue suit, tie knot pulled tight, as if the tie had just come out of the box. Susan Dell stood half a step to his right. Red dress. Red with no other color in it. Her heels sank into the carpet. Her ankles tilted slightly outward. She held herself straight. Shoulders back. Chin up. Someone behind her might have been pulling a string.

I Remember Y2K. I Think We’re Doing It Again With AI.
I think about Y2K a lot lately. I remember people genuinely panicking as 1999 came to an end. Computers supposedly was not going to understand that the year had changed from 1999 to 2000. Systems would crash! Banks could fail! Everything connected to a computer might suddenly stop working!
