This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is Thad with a comment about Capital One’s stated reasons for shutting down Trump accounts:
Would be nice to have some disclosure laws so that if a presidential candidate’s had his bank accounts closed for money laundering, we don’t learn about it years later in a lawsuit.
In second place, it’s MrWilson with a reply on that same post to someone claiming Trump was targeted for political reasons:
“for political reasons” = Trump violating his oath of office, multiple laws, the Constitution, human and civil rights, et al.
For editor’s choice on the insightful side, we start out with an anonymous comment about the Paramount merger:
Given that Oracle laid off around 25,000 employees (of 162,000) last May just to keep inflating the AI hype, I won’t be surprised if Paramount has already planned layoffs to offset the giant debt of the deal.
Next, it’s Commenter #5759 with a comment about Buc-ee’s shying away from their John Oliver challenge and suing a tiny convenience store instead:
I wonder if John Oliver can convince HBO to fund this store’s legal defense.
Over on the funny side, our first place winner is an anonymous comment about the Trump/Capital One dispute:
A Republican: Tell me how I can be like you.
Trump: You have to start an insurrection, and launder money.
Republican: Why launder money?
Trump: See, nobody cares about the insurrection.
In second place, it’s an anonymous comment about requests to post proof of the claim that there are “numerous videos” of people cutting into the reflecting pool:
He can’t. They go to school in Canada.
For editor’s choice on the funny side, we’ve got an exchange about RFK Jr.’s latest embarrassing display. First, it’s Heart of Dawn with an initial reaction:
If only the worms had finished what they started.
Next, it’s WTF over with a reply:
Unfortunately, the worms died of starvation.
That’s all for this week, folks!
