I make typos, but I mean will. I make jokes too, or did in the before-times.

In Omelas, the prosperity of the city depended on tormenting one child. This was hidden, so nobody had to see the cost, but could if they desired.

Our price is higher 🇵🇸

Not talking about the campaign, that was bullshit theater, but I'm so surprised that the White House did its little Epstein Parade considering the number of MAGA people in the files for a variety of compromising and usually illegal reasons.
A man with his left arm raised, holding an FBI binder purported to contain files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Behind and to the left of him are four women also holding similar binders. The women are all smiling broadly.

Uh, Michael Wolff, pedophile enabler.

abcnews.go.com/Politics/hou...
An excerpt from an email between author Michael Wolff and Epstein. "I think you should let him hang himself," Wolff replied the next day. he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime."

The image is a meme using a scene from Family Guy. It shows three characters. A business man labeled “Republicans,” Lois labeled “The American people,” and Peter labeled “Democrats.” On a wooden desk is a mystery box with a question mark on it. The image's caption reads: “ACA (Affordable Care Act) is ACA. But the mystery box can be anything. Even ACA!”

The Resistance leaders have the most unexpected backgrounds.

This woman is a hero, stronger and more outspoken than any politician we have.
msrachelforlittles: I asked that they not cover this insane, false, ridiculous accusation - they said "it's already in the ny post" told them that it's different putting it in the Times. I said how it would affect me and my family. I asked them to cover the amazing kids of Gaza instead. I said they could do a story on the amazing work of PCRF or on amazing Rahaf. They said they were moving forward with this. --- Real Question from the New York Times: As you know, a group has suggested, albeit without evidence, that you are accepting money in order to further Hamas's agenda. Is that true? Her response: that accusation is not only absurd, it's patently false.

Blessed indeed
In at least one instance, Truus seduced an SS officer into the woods so that someone from the resistance could shoot him. As the commander who recruited them had said, Freddie and Truus learned to shoot Nazis too, and the sisters began to go on assassination missions by themselves. Later on, they focused on killing Dutch collaborators who arrested or endangered Jewish refugees and resistance members.

SCJustice Jackson wrote this.

Do they know what expeditious means?

A delay will not make it quicker. Paying won't be markedly less efficient, if at all. Oh and, WHO FUCKING CARES, if it does?

Kids will go hungry tomorrow because liberals value protocol.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
"The applicants assert that, without intervention from this Court, they will have to transfer an estimated $4 billion by tonight' to fund SNAP benefits through November" Jackson, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, wrote. A stay is needed to reach an "expeditious resolution" she wrote.

Trump on President Xi: "During the meeting, he's here, and he's got about 6 people on each side. And every one of those people were at attention. And made a comment to one of them and it got no response. And President Xi didn't let him. said, I want my cabinet to behave like that. I've never seen men so scared in their lives."

Pennsylvania Supreme Court retained it's 5/7 Dem majority
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht all won their retention elections tonight, NBC News projects. The three Democrats were first elected in 2015, shifting the balance of the court at the time from a Republican majority to a Democratic majority. Following tonight's election, Dougherty and Wecht will remain on the court for 10 more years, while Donohue will serve until 2027, when she's set to hit the mandatory retirement age for justices of 75. Democrats, including Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin and Gov. Josh Shapiro, barnstormed Pennsylvania on the justices' behalf leading up to Election Day.
