    Just days before my layoff we got a new-to-us Mazda CX-5 for my wife. Financed it, planning to set up a better-than-6% investment with some set-aside cash, then cover the payment out of my check.

    Time for a re-think, methinks.

    Exactly. They're the work of the devil.

    Also, thermos flasks. You put something in that's cold. It comes out cold. You put it in hot, it comes out hot.

    How does it know?!

    Juggalos in my experience are harmless. ICP isn’t my thing but I respect their hustle and the fact that they’ve managed to build a brand.

    About that 50 year mortgage...

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/50-year-mortgage-trump-pulte/

    A proposal for a 50-year mortgage wasn't fully vetted by top Trump administration officials and wasn't ready to be made public, sources told CBS News.

    Over the weekend, top federal housing official Bill Pulte floated the idea with President Trump, who then approved a Truth Social post.

    Some Trump officials this week vented their frustration with Pulte over the move. One source said Mr. Trump was lukewarm about the suggestion but announced it "to get Pulte to shut up about it."

    Another source disputed the characterization of the president as tepid about the mortgage proposal, however, and said 40-year and 50-year mortgages had been discussed by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett and others in the administration.

    The amount of stupid being highlit on today's Daily Show is amazing.

    1) The housing stuff with the loans costing much, much more than a 30 year loan.

    2) He wants to send $2000 checks to approx 150m people, costing about $300bn. The tariffs are expected to raise about $217bn annually.

    3) ...and then he says we'll have enough for that golden dome.

    And that's just the first seven minutes.

    As one of the boards few proponents of never-trump right of centre liberalism, I thought I'd share an illuminating exchange between Rod Dreher and David French. For those who don't know, French has been waging somewhat of a last stand in the religious right against Trumpism and the emerging lawlessness of the "post liberal" autocracy.

    Dreher is a former columnist and Heritage type think tanker who became a laughing stock in Bulwark circles after he became so irrelevant he had to move to Hungary and become a minor Orban grifter.

    Hilariously Dreher re-appeared at the White House in recent days on the Orban junket and sought to use his new found status to 'warn' JD Vance about the alarming number of nazis in his midst.

    The claim that I first floated in this space last week, quoting a DC insider who said that in his estimation, “between 30 and 40 percent” of the Zoomers who work in official Republican Washington are fans of Nick Fuentes — that’s true. Was confirmed multiple times by Zoomers who live in that world.

    Cue was a true hotdog man trying to find the guy who did this moment ....

    French:

    The postliberals absolutely helped blaze the trail for the Groyper moment. It wasn't just the attack on liberal democracy and the principles of the founding, it was also the way in which they attacked -- hysterical rhetoric, deeply personal attacks. They taught the groypers that the classical liberalism of the founding was a fool's game, and that the way forward is through punching and attacking, through insults, derision, and mockery. Trump was the most powerful force in transforming vice into virtue in G.O.P. circles, but the postliberals treated their own vices as virtues by so often and so relentlessly abandoning decency in the public square. Once you've demolished respect for liberal democracy and demolished any real value in rectitude and character in public life, it's a short trip to nihilism and fascism.

    Dreher

    Strong disagree. 15, 20 years of illiberal wokeness in power, plus mass migration, plus sexual radicalization, plus widespread institutional failures, plus an economy that shuts out Zoomers, plus the socially disintegrating effects of the Internet -- all had more to do with it.

    French

    The problem, Rod, is that America has faced far worse problems in the recent past than even your list, and yet conservatism did not turn postliberal or Groyper to address them. In the 1970s America was in a far worse place economically, militarily, and socially. Stagflation was destroying the American dream, we had just emerged from waves of political violence that dwarf anything we're experiencing now, Roe had just been decided and abortion was skyrocketing far above present abortion rates. We had just lost the Vietnam War, a war that cost us far, far more than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We'd gone through waves of political assassinations worse than anything we're experiencing today. Vietnam and Watergate together were a massive blow to American confidence and faith in American institutions.

    But in 1980 the right (which had been partially responsible for this sad state of affairs through Nixon) chose a very different path than it's choosing now. The new right of 1980 did not answer this much greater challenge with postliberals and Nazi dweebs. We did not devolve into a coalition of smirking, vice-signaling shitposters (or whatever the equivalent would have been in 1980). That's the world the postliberals helped build. Not alone, of course. But they helped lay the bricks in the edifice of stupidity, corruption, and malice that is the modern right. Instead, the Reagan Right of 1980 doubled down on the founding principles, doubled down on faith in the American experiment, and led with both character and confidence. In 12 short years, America and the world were transformed for the better. The new right of 2025, by contrast, is miring America in division, corruption, and incompetence. It's opened the door to fascism. It's blazing the trail for antisemites.

    It scorns character. It's sexually libertine and abusive. By their fruit you shall know them, and you and I both know, Rod, that the fruit of the new right is rotten indeed.

    I get some of you think, ahistorically, that Reagan, the king of neo-liberalism, was himself somehow the father of Trumpism and US fascism but I think French makes the point well - whatever you think about Reagan's worst instincts, he didn't try to do a self-coup, appoint himself king, steal billions of dollars and birth a generation of nazi adjacent fascists.

    It's the so called post-liberals or natcons who did that

    The likes of Candace Owens spotted this very clearly amidst Israel/Gaza in late 2023 and used the movement to assemble huge followings. This is why Heritage wouldn't criticise Feuntas initially. Like Tucker, they know these 'zoomercons' are the new marks and the future of what is laughably still called conservatism
