Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.
Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

MAGA is big mad that Mitch McConnell told the truth for once and said that Donald Trump's tariffs "will be paid for by American consumers."

Awe, poor guy
This was not an insult, but this person was spreading misinformation and got upset I corrected him with a QT instead of a reply. A sad case of actions meeting consequences.

When MAGA turns on Bud Light for pride month cans, that’s capitalism. When folks leave X because it’s a shitty platform owned by a shitty person, that’s purity politics. Get it right

The funny thing about covid, and now I can say the covid vaccine, is that the symptoms are different every time. I just came through chills so bad I barely could take medicine to calm the quaking. I've never been that sick, and it came on violently and quickly almost exactly 11 hours after my shot.

I have to admit since I don't watch network TV Dr. Oz wasn't on my radar... but he is now. Cannot wait to see the shambles that will ensue throughout the government
Apparently 2 years ago this month I made a video explaining why #MehmetOzSucks as a doctor and a human. Let’s bring it back now that he’s been tapped to run CMS, and is likely to bring more grift and less healthcare to America.

We can skeet if we want to
We can leave those jerks behind
Cause those jerks don’t skeet and if they don’t skeet
Well, they’re no friends of mine
