Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...
Ghislaine Maxwell will plead Fifth in House Epstein probe, Comer says

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

Can someone catch me up on where Charlie Kirk’s most recent stance was on the Epstein files?

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?"

There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one.

Weird how people invented vaccines for no reason at exactly the same time people stopped having to have ten kids just to get one or two to reach adulthood 🤔

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

They don't quite understand Dem voters do not care if Dem leaders are exposed. We will gladly excommunicate anyone in those files.
The official White House line is now that those dirty Democrats must’ve been hiding some serious dirt about dirty Democrats in the Epstein Files and that’s why the much more transparent Republicans won’t release them now and uh Trump might pardon Maxwell too?
JD Vance: "We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot connections with left-wing politicians and left-wing billionaires ... Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to Epstein island all the time. Who knows what they did."

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

If you put in your newscast that President Trump says he will “probably“not run again, and then you don’t follow it by saying he is constitutionally barred from doing so, you are failing.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Hmm. Good point. Makes me also think of the opposite: if men being “providers” was natural, we wouldn’t need paternity tests, child support recoupment, laws, etc.

Just so we’re clear, he wants us to pay more for goods we get from Brazil because he wants to save a foreign political crony on trial for corruption.

MAGA gets all misty-eyed with nostalgia for the 1950s. And it’s not just the White Supremacy. They think of it as a time of great prosperity. But they don't realize that government programs like the GI Bill were driving much of that prosperity. You know, socialism.
