The Trump administration is no longer collecting statistics on things like inflation and unemployment. You might want to ask yourself, why is that? 🤷😉

BREAKNG: In an unbelievable moment, Trump Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says Americans will never know what the October unemployment rate was, but "We'll be able to concoct something."

They are admitting to the deception out loud.

Trump put tariffs on things not grown in the U.S. (coffee, bananas, etc.), causing prices to go up.

Then they turn around and remove the tariffs and claim they are lowering prices.

Scott, the American people aren’t stupid.

While kind of a departure for him, this ended up my main PPP entry for the year - I just never knew how much I needed Doomsday Disco in my life!

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

While you’re trying to dodge overdraft fees and wondering how you’ll afford Thanksgiving and holiday gifts for your people, Eric Trump is spending $500M in scam-coin on the dark web to buy rhino horns, whale tusks and elephant foot umbrella stands. The Trump economy is working exactly as planned.

“No rules. The only limit is our imagination.”

Read 📚 & Play🎶
If you worship money and things — if they are where you tap real meaning in life — then you will never have enough. Never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly, and when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you. On one level, we all know this stuff already — it’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, bromides, epigrams, parables: the skeleton of every great story. The trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness. Worship power — you will feel weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to keep the fear at bay. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart — you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. And so on.” -David Foster Wallace

Again, maybe what the takeaway we should have from political reporter after political reporter not just getting chummy w ppl like Trump or Epstein (or RFK Jr 👀) but actively running interference for them—either in their coverage or privately—is that its an industry full of ppl that are Bad Actually™️

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."
From: Thomas Jr., Landon Sent: 9/27/2017 2:47:47 PM To: Subject: Got another call from Connelly.. Importance: High Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com] He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too. Anyway, for what its worth...

So all but two Republicans in Congress voted to pay $500k of taxpayer dollars to each of ten Republicans senators. That's a big payout. If I had $500k (possibly tax free?) dollars paying for college would be so much easier.

$500k is a lot, right?

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA.

These people are evil.
The screenshot shows the website’s header with the Media Matters logo, navigation icons, and a headline that reads: “Megyn Kelly questions whether Jeffrey Epstein’s desire for ‘very young teen types’ made him a pedophile.” A sub-headline quotes Kelly saying, “I think there is a difference. There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old.” Below it are byline details indicating the article was written by Media Matters staff and published on November 12, 2025, at 1:38 PM EST.

It’s crazy what a band may cut in the name of its thematic vision for an album. Say, a cracking tune featuring the one & only Juliana Hatfield!!

Not everything she touches turns to gold for me. This theme of jilted-but-still-burning for them as you tell them to kiss off? That’s a chef’s kiss, though
