It might have mattered less if the people paid to elect Democrats were less innumerate and more curious about how public opinion takes shape. They decided the reporting (and thus opinion) must be true, and that Dems should therefore concede that their own economy sucked. Will never get over it.

Remember when Trump spent literal YEARS railing about Hilary's emails and Hunter's laptop because it was a "security breach"???
Yeah, we need to do the same.
DO NOT let them brush this off. This was a HUGE security breach.

I said this on the other site, but I think the media needs to stop using the word “arrested” if a person hasn’t committed any crimes, hasn’t been read Miranda rights, hasn’t been formally charged with anything and their family and lawyer doesn’t know where they are. It’s kidnapping. It’s abduction.

What’s both funny and infuriating to me is that we could end this madness so easily but for a small number of people paralyzed by cowardice, greed, and a collective-action problem.
US govt has asked Denmark if they can export eggs as Americans face surging egg prices. The request coincides with a raft of new US tariffs on countries, including in Europe -- and also threatened economic sanctions unless Denmark hands over control of Greenland www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Had strong sense at least the timing of Trump's illegal shuttering of Voice of America was triggered by his annoyance at a question from a VOA journo. Source flags to me that the EO was so hastily put together they literally forgot to complete the last sentence. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
