People are misinterpreting this because of Trump’s fractured speaking style, which continues to worsen with dementia. “This is a very small price to pay” refers to gas prices. “Let them…” means, “wait til they nuke a US city, then gas prices won’t seem so important.”
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

This is the scale of project that gets announced by a mayor or local development board, not the US president in a national news conference. Governor-grade dog-and-pony show, tops.
I've reported first-hand on steel mills in Korea, China, Japan, Illinois, and Mississippi.
This is 100% not going to happen.
Disagree? Bet me.
(Though I'm against online betting. It's just not going to happen.)

Exclusive: President Trump will announce a Minnesota company’s plan to build a $15 billion steel mill in Iowa, as he looks to counter voter frustration with the economy ahead of the midterm elections.

This Georgia Tech-Stanford game was always gonna be an ugly game between two bad teams. But I did not anticipate the worst unit on the field being the officiating crew. #Holding

You shouldn’t take an iced coffee to a job interview because you need your hands free in case something goes down.

The most disappointing thing about Saturday’s big football game between Tennessee and Texas, their first-ever regular-season matchup, is that they will NOT be settling for all time which school is the “real” UT.

So an ethics complaint against Lauren Boebert claims she had sex with three staffers and paid them a VAST amount of hush money to cover it up. Sounds like something she’d probably do, but I wonder if it will be enough to stop her being reelected again. media.coloradotimesrecorder.com/wp-content/u...

I got in a bunch of arguments on Facebook with people who were convinced that McConnell was dead and Trump didn’t get his ear grazed by a bullet. They’ll probably claim it’s a body double when Mitch shows up. No, shut up, he has a fucking scar where it just touched his skin.

Men and boys at football games need to keep their goddam shirts on. Painted guys get a pass but if you wore a shirt to get in, keep it on.

Any restaurant I see using AI is getting a polite notice that I will eat elsewhere until they stop it.
I order Mysore masala dosa occasionally from a local south Indian restaurant, and they have AI-ified their menus, and it is...so eerie.
Ive realised the reason its so uncanny is because everything is so evenly spaced.
That and the uncanny way AI generates holes and bumps on food...

The last two new-tech ads I’ve seen have been bragging about their usefulness for people who can’t see well. So they’re trying to guilt us into using Chat GPT and Meta’s perv glasses in order to help the disabled. Good luck with that, fellas. Very selfless of you.

Uh, who gives a shit about heresy? You god-botherers can sort that out while you’re arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.
