Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

I think making people running for office tell you what their top three TNT Sunday afternoon movies are would help out quite a bit.

Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

Epstein survivor Jena-Lisa Jones: "I beg you, President Trump, please stop making this political. It's not about you, President Trump. You are our president — please start acting like it…I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

LIBRARIANS rule.
One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

A new study found the Trump administration’s cuts to NIH grants disrupted more than 380 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants.

The cuts disproportionately impacted trials on infectious diseases and minority communities.
Federal cuts upended clinical trials. A new study reveals the toll.
Grants for 383 clinical trials were terminated and the funding disruptions affected more than 74,000 trial participants, according to new research.

Grant was president during the centennial, Coolidge during the sesquicentennial, and Ford during the bicentennial.

It probably says more about the general mediocrity of the presidency than anything else, but all of them were fairly unpopular and/or scandal ridden at the time, so it's a pattern.
Trump is gonna be President during America’s 250th anniversary celebration. Which is, frankly, fitting.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.
