If Bubba is Bubba Wallace, it does make that whole noose threat in 2020 seem a whole lot different… after all, the feds who concluded it wasn’t a threat also claimed Epstein hung himself.

Maybe they should try ordering a healthcare plan from DoorDash if that’s how they’re getting their reports delivered now.

Quite possibly the most cursed ‘economic indicator’ I have ever seen.

Hard to believe I hit 1k followers. I’ve never concerned myself with attracting followers, but this does feel like a milestone. Thanks for those who feel my ventings, thoughts & wise-assery is worth paying attention to.

I accept that TACO has reformed the images of both Bush jr. & Nixon, but he’s now making Marie Antoinette look good.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

I’m just learning Ellison is Larry Ellison’s kid… & that his sister has a far more impressive career than he.
His “success” seems to be from making sequels & reboots, which demonstrates a certain lack of creativity. I guess he’s the Eric of the Ellison family?

YES.
it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

This is insanity. His dishonesty & stupidity are irrelevant, the only thing Americans should focus on is that he’s mentally impaired & delusional.
Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

I’ve never ever thought of Reagan as youthful during his presidency, esp. by 1987, but wow he seems so compared to TACO. He’s only 3 years younger than TACO here.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

I’m curious about previous government shutdowns & how much of those times, previous congresses weren’t in session during the shut down.
Congress has shut down the government but Mike Johnson alone has shut down Congress.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

MAGA claims that he’s more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than the founder of the Red Cross, Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, & Martin Luther King Jr.
Johnson: "Together with my friend Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so we will jointly nominate President Donald J Trump for next year's Nobel Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more & that is an objective fact."
