My favorite thing about Twitter this week is that all the MAGA lunatics saying "Average Americans don't care about stock market" genuinely don't understand or realize their 401k and retirement is the stock market.

The cumulative (over 3 yr) xtra amount paid for eggs/ groceries, you know the receipts all over fox every holiday --is miniscule to amount those people lost in their retirement accounts in past 2 days.
I used to say wait till they feel it in their wallet but after this weekI realize it's a cult.

Debating in a swamp is noble, but don’t expect a clean exit. Sometimes, the best strategy is building higher ground.

Folks, as a person who ventures into the right-wing swamp to debate, let me tell say there's no "reaching out" to Trump voters after 9 years. They live in a radicalized bubble. You don't owe them anything. Build & protect your own. They'll only learn through immense pain - & many still wont.

Those thinking that this was some sort of "catalyst" that Trump was waiting for to do the same (or worse) are clearly not paying attention. Trump would have (and will) abuse the pardon system regardless if Joe did or didnt use it for Hunter.

Such a powerful statement from President Biden in pardoning Hunter:
“In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.”

Good. All for it.
Hunter was just a means for them hurting and coming after Joe.
If I were Biden I wouldn't stop there. Protect against as much political retribution as possible in the next month.

Pete Hegseth published a story saying sex with an unconscious woman isn’t rape. To be clear, he didn’t write it, but he published it.

Be careful a lot of lefty grifters out there that have seemingly ALL migrated here. They are not "resistors" or allies. They just want your follow and likes so they can monetize and feel good about their big accounts.

So right, there was an account “Palmer Report” that for years kept saying that Merrick Garland was going to save us all and kept attacking anyone who complained about Garland.
