And now that we know that Matt is withdrawing his bed, he hopefully will disappear into the woodwork instead of trying to be into politics. One down, like 40 to go
Criminal conduct and sexual deviance aside, most of these nominees are unqualified for the job.
That should be enough.

The Democrats can put this into the public record, so it's not just the GOP. Wild pushed this out 2 weeks to even look at. They don't care
The controversy is not merely that Matt Gaetz raped underaged girls.
The controversy is not even just that Donald Trump wants to make this sex predator attorney general.
The controversy is that the entire GOP is OK with that.

Good news for people doomscrolling on the immigration issue.
Also, note that the incoming Governor for Washington State is Bob Ferguson, who ran many successful lawsuits and other blockers against Tmurp's EOs the last go around.

It is November 2024, and major media has already failed in covering the Trump administration.
For instance, Mike Johnson and Tom Homan have now admitted the mass deportations Trump promised to get the presidency won't happen.
It's a broken promise media won't cover to avoid angering Trump voters.

Hey dood -- why the fuck are you not allowing comments on this one?
NPR has a white-washing problem, ESPECIALLY in how they talk about the cabinet members. It's not just a "many of them are controversial" type of issue.

Carr is an absolute nightmare for freedom of access of information. He is everything that is wrong with a Republican nanny-state government
When he says that he wants to "take on censorship" what he means is that he wants to do more censorship.

I know everyone is freaked out by this. You should be!!
But you should also keep in mind that two things might stop Trump.
1) If he creates martyrs he can't account for.
2) If he does something that wakes John Roberts the fuck up.

I'm a bit confused by this one: Trump wants to court martial officers who implemented lawful orders to carry out his plan for withdrawal?
How's THAT going to lead officers to obey without question?

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride.

For years now, the right has been accusing Democrats of running a shadowy conspiracy to protect politicians who are sex predators.

A -2% hit to the market instead of a +2% increase over this last week (because we have a nincompoop that the oligarchs wanted) happened because they didn't want to take a 7% tax hit, ended up enabling the monster to carve out half of that savings immediately (before he was even put into office).

So Tulsi can be in a wackadoo cult and get picked by Trump, but somehow Muslims and Jews (who happen to be part of the DNC) are a problem?
Critics have branded the secretive group, called the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF), as intolerant of women, gays, and Muslims, while treating its reclusive leader Chris Butler as some kind of all-powerful deity.
