On a scale of 1 being “only enough morning orange juice for half a cup” and 10 being “accidentally burned down the house”, where does dropping a plate of loaded tacos onto shag carpeting fall?

This utter dipshit. Prices are high in part because ports were closed to feeder cattle from Mexico because of screwworm, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he’s saying. Also because slaughterhouses have lost many workers, tariffs on imported beef, feed prices going up, etc etc it’s a rich tapestry.

Do not whitewash Marjorie Taylor Greene!
1/6 Democrats need to be more inclusive, especially with voters.
But inclusivity does not mean whitewashing far-right pro-Russian conspiracy theorists like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She is not backstabbing Trump to help Democrats but to help Vance, Musk and Thiel, who are worse
