This is the kind of quote Trump would sue for defamation about except he made it himself
reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

Brooke Rollins on why the Trump administration is cracking down on food stamps: "We're really opening up the market here, wanting to make sure that those who are receiving this *supplemental* nutrition benefit -- it was never meant for the long term -- are really those who need it."

Turns out, when you run on lowering prices and releasing Epstein files, but then do *the exact opposite*, people get a bit miffed.
Fox Biz: "A new Reuters poll shows President Trump's approval rating falling to its lowest level. This is because, apparently, of prices and the Epstein files."

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

It’s amazing that after 15 years, the GOP is FINALLY coalescing around a healthcare plan of sorts and it essentially amounts to “fuck it, you do it.”

I remember seeing Moana in the theater the morning before Thanksgiving. After the movie, I left for my parents' house, buying the soundtrack on my way out of town. I listened to it on a loop the whole 3-and-a-half-hour drive (in retrospect, that might've been a clue about the autism)

It's easy to get inured to the crazy, but this is Trump referring to the main exterior window of the East Room, a part of the White House that has been there since 1800, as "a knock-out panel," a construction term for a temporary part of a wall designed to be easily demolished to allow for expansion
Trump: "Right behind me by the way, in about 2 years from now, is a much bigger room. This will be the entrance. That's a knockout panel. It looks pretty nice right now but it'll look a lot better in a little while... The future entrance to something that's really become very popular, the ballroom."

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
