Here's a mind-blower:

A 1986 Taurus rode on a 106" wheelbase and weighed ~3k pounds.

A 2019 Focus sedan rode on a 104.3" wheelbase and weighed about the same.

Watching Trump set economic policy is like watching a raccoon trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube.
So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

Trump:

Lindsey Graham - great!

Marge Greene - terrible!

If anything proves conclusively that MAGA’s central AND ONLY organizing principle is loyalty to Trump, this simple example proves it better than most anything else.

The fact that the government has to tell SpaceX to do this and they aren’t already doing this in conjunction with the government is a bit maddening. I mean I’m not surprised that Elon Musk and his companies have to be told to fucking stop helping criminals because he is one & also hates the gov
NEW: The US Department of Justice issued a warrant demanding SpaceX seize and disable Starlink devices and accounts being used at a scam compound in Myanmar.

At least 9 Starlink devices were linked to a crypto scam that stole $6 million people, an FBI affidavit says

Even Raging Moderates is covering South Park episodes of the Corrupt White House

When the entire Administration exists to pleasure Trump you are going to get some pushback from the public.
It is obvious, and the back hair & thong on JDVance as a subserviant subordinate is well played!

Who is Bubba?
Meet Bubba Saulsbury, son of Odessa oil industry magnate Dick Saulsbury. Also friend to Kash Patel and JD Vance. This is who the Epstein felatio email is rumored to be referring to. Not Bill Clinton.

When Fox News doesn't know how to spin a story the network ignores it. @stephaniemiller.bsky.social found a way to bring up the Epstein emails on Hannity. Greg Gutfeld downplayed it on "The Five." It wasn't mentioned on Fox & Friends or The Ingraham Angle.

“Your DOGE Subcommittee was a complete failure, and the most successful part of it was a freshman Congressman from Texas.”
