So what do we have? An oligarchy mashed with a kakistocracy littered with facist overtones and gushing Christian nationalism reeking of autocratic despotism sleeping with authoritarianism lead by a malignant narcissistic sociopath. Quite the accomplishment America.
Well done Seattle Seahawks.

Great answer.
“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

I've been painting these very difficult paint by number canvases. It started as a distraction from a severe burn from neck to navel from a kitchen accident. My own creativity disappeared but I still needed to paint so I tried these. Now I'm addicted. Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer

They twist themselves into pretzels and tie themselves into knots to find something to whine about. What law enforcement agency in America wears masks, shows a badge and name plate and breaks into houses, cars and arrests (kidnaps) people with no probable cause warrant? None.
REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement
CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?
STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors
CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

I didn't have access and so all of you in the same boat or who just want another experience here is a ring side seat. I'm smiling and moving and goosebumping and butterflying. Amazing.
Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

You have to read this. It's outrageous and probably illegal. A model immigrant. 🤬
This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

No tacos for them!
Two Halftime shows because racists can't tolerate anything that isn't White dominant.
This is America.
This is why there was a Civil War.
Nothing new.
We need to stop coddling these racists.
Let them lose and eat bland food and listen to crappy music.
The majority salsas forward.

Now he's pushing drugs. Are the coated in fool's gold?
More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

Good for him. We have a president (usurper) who insults, badmouths and criticizes America and her people every fecking day.
This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”
