Looking to get windows replaced and a salesman asked me when we could schedule a time to sit through his 90-minute demonstration.
My friend, you have vastly overestimated my interest in this subject.

"Trump thinks that if he falsifies jobs numbers, bullies the Fed, and prevents all criticism, he can make Americans believe prices are low and jobs are plentiful. But no matter how much he threatens, people are going to notice when prices at the grocery store go up and when they lose their jobs."

Good Lord, Trump is still after Taylor Swift? He does realize she's finished her world tour, right - one of the most successful ever - and is now taking the usual break?
American Eagle is actually very "woke." They have DEI and donate to "woke" causes. They also produce their synthetic-blend jeans offshore, sometimes in factories associated with labor abuse.
But all is forgiven if buying their jeans pisses off libs.

Trump did get a BS degree from UPenn in economics. Makes sense now.
Trump: You know, we've cut drug prices by 1200, 1300, 1400, 1,500%. I don't mean 50%. I mean 1400, 1,500%

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

The ludicrousness of these claims will cause explosive blowback when voters actually confront the rising costs of prescriptions at their pharmacies. For some that means their health will be put at risk because they will not be able to afford their medications.
We’re defying basic number theory at this point—riding roughshod over the intrinsic properties of integers.
Trump claims he’s cut drug prices by “1,500 percent”

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

This is what happens when a country elects an unprincipled, avaricious, morally bankrupt head of state -Netanyahu - who’s willing to do anything, however horrific, to stay in power and out of prison, a pattern that has been playing out simultaneously in the U.S.
At a minimum, war crimes. And other labels are a matter of fair debate. Israel had every right to respond with massive force after October 7, and there was necessarily going to be significant collateral damage as a result of that, and of Hamas’s use of the Gazan population as human shields. But...

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

The perpetual ability of humans to indulge in moral rationalizations & compromises, which never stave off the evil they claim to be preventing, is staggering. I often think 80% of most populations are followers; 10% are willing tools of authoritarians & 10% are morally clear freedom fighters.
Niemöller was asked by his concentration camp cellmate why he had ever supported Hitler and the Nazis. Reportedly, this is what he had to say for himself:

The Trump regime is blocking release of the Epstein files after promising their release.
It's giving preferential treatment to child molester Ghislaine Maxwell in hopes she won't reveal Trump's connection to the scandal.
Keep reminding people about this. It matters.

I would expect reporters to ask Walters to provide documentary proof that the pornographic images he sent to legislators were, in fact, being distributed in school libraries as he claimed (as it is highly likely this is a complete fabrication).
Oh, so Ryan Walters has done weird stuff before at work with porn. Gotcha. www.fox23.com/news/local/fo...

There are public photos/videos and Trump’s and Epstein’s own comments about their close friendship. Trump boasted on tape about sexually assaulting women and a jury found he defamed and sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll. No one needs to manufacture evidence about him. It’s in the public record.
Reporter: You had said you had not been briefed that your name was in the Epstein files, doesn’t the AG have to tell you?
Trump: It’s a hoax. Those files were run by the worst scum on earth. They run by Garland, Comey… They can easily put something in the files that’s a phony.
