Escapee from Twitter. Sick and tired of algorithms telling me how mad I should be. I am using the same avatar I used on Twitter. Me personally, I define myself as the living embodiment of a non sequitur.
For a brief second, let's put aside how they have conducted their campaign.

Why on earth should the citizens of Minneapolis or anywhere PAY The expense of their police forces doing the work of the federal government? Isn't that what the federal taxes are for?

Interesting analysis about Gov. Spanberger's efforts to redirect VSP to do their main mission, which is keeping Virginia's highways safe, not assisting ICE. It's all about financial obligations.

Top EU official questions Trump’s trustworthiness over Greenland tariff threat

I know it's pointless showing anybody who supports him this article, but when he said there's nothing signed about Denmark and Greenland, he's wrong. It's not surprising that he's wrong.

A serious question here. If somebody within the government unauthorized releases the Epstein files in its entirety, could they be effectively prosecuted? (I know Trump's DOJ would)

But aren't they actually following the Epstein law by doing that? How would that work?

I just had a chilling realization this morning. Think of how much malice and disinformation the regime would be spreading about the Renee Good incident if smartphone cameras weren't so prevalent.

And people would trust them.

So the man who has six bankruptcies doesn't like the way someone else is guiding the economy?

What a shocker. Does he think that the federal government can just declare bankruptcy?

Don't answer that. I don't want to know what he thinks.

The University of Virginia has been playing football since 1888. This is the first time the Cavaliers have ever won 11 games in a single season. Heck of a year for Tony Elliott and the Hoos.

I have been paying attention to all of the people that Gov. Elect Spanberger is appointing to her cabinet. They all share one common trait; experience and competence in the field they will serve in. Imagine that in a government. How refreshing!

They haven't "disappeared."

They were removed. Big, big difference.

Disappearing makes it seem like a natural occurrence. This is a flat-out cover up. What is anybody going to do about it?

You know, if just a few Republicans who are not running for reelection, switched parties, some of this nightmare could end.

The offerings at Costco are starting to really blow my mind. I fully expect to see an aircraft carrier for sale there one day. They also sell coffins as well.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

Sure, you and your fellow libs hate Trump, but you'll be crying woke tears when those banana factories actually do relocate to places that support Trump wholeheartedly like WV and OK. Just you wait.
"Does this feel like or look like a well-run competent administration? It took them 10 months to discover that the United States doesn't grow bananas and that therefore if we tariff bananas that that's not going to bring banana factories on shore."

I am simply dying for some reporter to ask Trump:

"Are you really this stupid, or is this all an act?"

I couldn't care less about #LaneKiffin going from Ole Miss to LSU cuz shockingly UVA has won 10 games and maybe more.

Dawson County (where this plant is) in Nebraska voted almost 2:1 for Trump and MAGA supported politicians in 2024. They forged the sword that is cutting them. Maybe some other town can learn from their pain in the next election.

Good idea, however, I really have no intention of associating with people who will be bringing up Charlie Kirk in a positive manner.
The next time ANYONE brings up Charlie Kirk, just shrug and say, "He was controversial. A lot of people weren't fond of that... gentleman. Things happen." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
