I don't like this thing where Trump says or has something posted in his name, and the media has to take it seriously because he's the president. 50 Year Mortgages! $2,000 Tarriff Rebates!

I am SO SICK of Trump and his MAGA losers vilifying SNAP recipients

The people that get SNAP are generally hardworking Americans that aren’t paid nearly enough by companies like Amazon and Walmart

And THESE are the people whose benefits they eliminate

While giving billionaires more tax breaks

Imagine being this stupid
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Daboll is fiery coach and he called games with that style. He’s done a good job bringing Dart along, but in the end Daboll didn't know when to say when in regards to protecting his young signal caller. Turns out to be the final straw in sometimes promising but overall frustrating tenure.
The Giants are firing coach Brian Daboll, sources say. A promising and frustrating season leads NYG to have an opening.

After another lead evaporated yesterday, Brian Daboll is out.

OC Mike Kafka is interim coach, per me and Mike Garafolo.

Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

The thing is … when Trump has stupid ideas that might be ok in fact, his viziers stop it from happening. He is a senile old ruler, evil and corrupt and venal, led around by even worse men.
seriously someone pitch him on single payer trumpcare

once in place however bad it can hopefully be improved later
I mean, if he wants to attack the Affordable Care Act from the left and go full single-payer…

"there's a whole lot of public servants right now... drawn to the job by desire to make the world a better place, who are feeling... that maybe the world doesn't love them very much. And they're worried they're not going to get the wages they not only need, but the law says that they're owed."
