Trump's own chief of staff bolting for the exits and going into desperate career preservation mode is a ~sign~
Susie Wiles tells Vanity Fair Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality.” Vance’s conversion from Never Trumper has been “sort of political” and the VP has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Russell Vought is “a right-wing absolute zealot.”

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

listen if you're gonna do a prequel make it about the servants (AND THEIR CHILDREN??) who the enchantress doomed to living as household items even though they weren't at fault. make it about Lumiere and the feather duster's sexy banter. I'm just saying there's better content to soullessly exploit
nobody wants to know more about Gaston. he's literally not interesting. that's like...the plot of the film

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

The post-Kirk purge was never about decency. Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder proves it.

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."
