There’s a lot to unpack here. He probably would have better luck bribing him with gold, though.

I guess the strategy is Trump says release them, Bondi says yes sir, but we can't because of the active investigation that you told me to initiate two days before you told me to release the files.

The goalposts have now been moved to “purchasing power.” Except the numbers all show that the current economy is only benefiting the purchasing power of the uber rich. bsky.app/profile/atru...
KERNEN: When Trump keeps saying 'prices are falling,' that's not true. I think you should admit that.
HASSETT: But purchasing power has gone up by about $1,200 this year. It's just astonishing to me that the cost problem is somehow being blamed on us.

People have a good reason to resist acknowledging the male loneliness crisis. They correctly perceive that women are being blamed and told to fix it.
