Have you noticed that DC is doing much better with the new name? Cleveland is so-so.

I'm thinking new ownership might have had more to do with that than the name.

Our hopes that the new ownership would mean yet another new name were in vain. Thanks a lot, Magic. We're stuck with the Crappanders for years.

'Not How Numbers Work': Critics School Trump After Baffling New Claim
The president bragged about reducing drug prices — except his numbers are way, way off.

... “We’re gonna get the drug prices down. Not 30% or 40%, which would be great. Not 50% or 60%. No, we’re gonna get them down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%,” Trump said at a Republican dinner. “Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.”

Critics quickly pointed out the reason those numbers are not thought to be achievable: reducing the price by 100% would make the drugs free. Reducing it by “1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%,” as Trump said, would make the cost negative dollars ― with the drug company essentially paying people to take the medication.

That would be cool.

Several users asked Grok, the AI chatbot on X, if Trump’s numbers made sense. Grok called Trump’s claim “mathematically impossible,” “hyperbolic and not literal” and “total bullshit.” ...

Ouch, scolded by AI. GoCubsGo knows how that is.

South Park dunks on Trump, Paramount. As expected, the White House takes the bait and responds.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurra ... ce-merger/

The White House slammed the “fourth-rate” Wednesday night season premiere episode of “South Park,” which took jabs at President Donald Trump and Paramount amid the company’s merger with Skydance, skewering the company over Stephen Colbert’s cancellation and Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein ties.

...

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told multiple outlets the show “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,”

...

The episode depicts Jesus Christ visiting South Park, which he says he had to do because of the “lawsuit and an agreement with Paramount”—an apparent reference to Trump’s now-settled lawsuit against the company—as Jesus asks the townspeople, “Do you really want to end up like Colbert?” referencing the late-night show’s cancellation.

...

In multiple scenes from the episode, the cartoon Trump jumps in bed with Satan, who is depicted as his lover and in one scene rebuffs Trump, telling him someone commented on his Instagram that Trump is “on the Epstein list.”

...

The episode concludes on a faux Trump public service announcement—an apparent knock at CBS and Paramount, whom Trump claimed will give him airtime for PSAs as part of a settlement—in which a lifelike, apparently AI-generated Trump wanders the desert nude as a voiceover says his genitals are “teeny tiny, but his love for us is large.”

South Park recently signed a five year, five season deal with Paramount for 1.5 billion.

From my understanding, they have full creative control over what they produce. Lol.

The South Park creators reportedly delayed this season opener until AFTER this massive deal was signed . Will Paramount still "Colbert" them?

Btw, Colbert is not cancelled until May. how badly will he trash Paramount in that time, will he be cancelled early, and how would you like to be the producers of whatever fills The Late Show slot?

What new owners? Paramount already owns CBS. Most pundits think that firing Colbert was part of the bribe paid to DonOLD in order to get approval for this merger Paramount is hoping to engineer.

Maaaybe The Late Show will be uncanceled after the merger is complete, but Idk that Paramount would want to risk other ways that butthurt Dementia Don can retaliate.

It would surprise me if he takes over (reverses) existing Paramount operations right out of the starting gate.

... On July 17, 2025, CBS announced that it had canceled The Late Show franchise ...

... On July 24, 2025 the merger was approved by the FCC.

That boy ain't right.

'Total Mental Collapse': Trump Ripped After 'Insane' New Ramble In Europe
Critics tore into the president after an unexpected digression against a familiar target.

... During a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Trump abruptly detoured from immigration to wind turbines.

“And the other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States,” Trump said. “They’re killing us.”

He added:

“They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains ― and I’m not talking about airplanes. I’m talking about beautiful plains, beautiful areas in the United States, and you look up and you see windmills all over the place. It’s a horrible thing. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good. They’re made in China, almost all of them.”

He complained that wind turbines “rust and rot in eight years” and then can’t be “buried” because they will harm the soil.

“The whole thing is a con job,” he said. “It’s very expensive. And in all fairness, Germany tried it and wind doesn’t work.”

Much of what the president said was wildly inaccurate: Germany gets more than a quarter of its energy from wind, turbines last about 30 years (not eight), according to the U.S Department of Energy, it’s not the most expensive form of energy, and they’re not “almost all” made in China.

MAGA = MORON

Trump, who has frequently attacked renewable energy, has a special hatred of wind power that likely began some two decades ago, when an offshore wind farm was proposed near the land that would become his golf resort in Scotland.

He sued to block it, lost and has complained about wind and other forms of renewable energy since.

He mentioned that on Sunday as well.

“Today I’m playing the best course I think in the world, Turnberry ― even though I own it ― it’s probably the best course in the world, right?” he said. “And I look over the horizon and I see nine windmills. ... I said, ‘Isn’t that a shame? What a shame.’”

Trump has previously taken his anti-wind stance to absurd extremes, such as in 2019, when he falsely claimed wind turbines cause cancer.

“The wind, the wind, it sounds so wonderful,” he said last year. “The wind, the wind, the wind is, the wind is bullshit, I’ll tell you.” ...

Complete gibberish.

Incoherent gibberish from #Trump in #Scotland

So embarrassing.

This is why there are no Dutch people today. All those windmills did them in.

Five city-owned grocery stores is communism but the president saying you can’t build a windmill anywhere in America is what?

Yet another flagrant case of WDS (Windmill Derangement Syndrome) emerging recurrently in Donnie's attempt to conduct half-coherent conversations with world-leaders...

Infuriating. Every single word he says about renewable energy is the most insane shit I’ve ever heard.

This is nuts. This guy is obsessed with running water in the shower and windmills. Bizarre behavior.

Ah yes, coal mines. Well known for creating gorgeous scenery.
