I can’t make up my mind on a caption:
“Vegas bookies are taking bets on which GOP donor slips on all this marble and wakes up thinking they’re in a Dubai Marriott.”
or
“Tomb of the Unknown Pedophile Serial Killer”

Remember that time in 2018 when The NY Times reported on the undocumented immigrants working at Trump properties? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Where are the #ICE raids?

Can anyone confirm if that last item in the TOS at My Social Security is new? I thought that personal data held by the government and the SSA in particular was very specific. Is this Elon trying to do a CYA if his interns leak data or have a data breach on the private systems they're copying to?

Well, this nomination of RFK, Jr. makes my financial planning difficult.
Should I invest in companies selling butt paste, bleach, crystals and woo? In foreign pharmaceutical companies located in countries that Trump will invade next week? Iron lung futures? Plague doctor masks?

It's a weird feeling to run a Google search on your name, as I periodically do, and discover that your website was cited last year in an amicus brief in a Fifth Circuit case against the Texas anti-drag queen law.

Trump's approach to deportations is eerily reminiscent of McNamara's propaganda-focused dehumanizing daily body counts and quotas during the Vietnam War.

I wouldn't advocate printing out this sign and posting it on random public male restrooms in red counties. No, not at all.

If you think about the symbolism of a Nazi salute, it's basically a simulated erect penis for displaying performative hyper masculinity by those who view dominance and rape as the only way to interact with other human beings.

That first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke given to Trump by the Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Company should have been a Fanta. ( Coca-Cola Deutschland developed Fanta during WWII because of a US trade embargo against the Third Reich.)
