Just thinking about the absolute rat's nest of angry freaks the GOP presidential field in 2028 is going to be: JD Vance, Ted Cruz, Kristi Noem, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ron DeSantis, maybe Don Jr. On the plus side, they're going to tear each other apart.

Two days ago, signing a petition to release the Epstein files was a treasonous act. Only 4 House Republicans were willing to do it. They were pressured, threatened and harassed by Trump to remove their name.
Tomorrow, they are all going to vote for it.
Spineless cowards.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

That's a very nice thing to say, but I wouldn't because I am completely unqualified for that job. The difference between and Hegseth, among many things, is that I *know* it.

Would somebody tell the people that are in bread lines and cleaning out the food banks, that we are the richest nation on the planet?
But wait, didn't the federal government just argue in court that they're too poor to pay for SNAP in full?

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
