In every post since 2016, Trump always refers to the NYT as “the failing NYT” even though it remains highly profitable 10 years later. They made $1.4 billion profit over the last 12 months. But they are still “failing” in MAGA World.

A comment on the inclusion of machine gun charges in the Maduro indictment. I laughed and I do think it ridiculous that DOJ included it even while DOJ is suing DC to force it to accept semi-automatic weapons.
It's a traditional charge designed to up sentences.
