Honestly believe that using 'alpha' like this is a foolproof Shibboleth for douchebaggery.
Normal human beings in finance (all three of them) do not do this.

On this date in 1989, our hero, Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, gives Atlanta a 50 piece in a 117-106 win over the Hawks. Hooray Larry Bird!

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."
For once, I believe him.

This is important, people. These “pardons” are null and void.
Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”
Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

OK, one, there is a reason to go to wartime footing, and that is war. I get that he is excited about war but that doesn't mean there is one.
Two, we get it: you heard someone say FAFO and thought it was cool. It is not actually cool. Maybe you should say we will get 67 drones or something?

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Friends, Trump is gone. Listen to this. It's incredible that there is no national discourse about whether he can continue to do the job.
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."
