The stakes are that whoever brings him to orgasm gets a pardon.
"High-stakes"? Are they wagering to see who can kiss Trump's keister the hardest?

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

"Just a few years ago, conservatives struggled to navigate a world in which everyone was expected to pay fealty (whether sincerely or not) to the idea the US could be a multi-racial democracy in which equality was the goal toward which we all strove. But now, they’re pretending nothing of the sort."
This is what a white supremacist administration looks like

Even with all the Epstein talk on the news, we really aren’t talking enough about the significance of the scandal.
It’s not just the Republicans. The major donors for both political parties and at least one president from each party are directly connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

The U.S. president speaks and relates information like a mentally disabled person or a person with a head injury. I will never understand how this is not front-page, top-of-the-hour news.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Let’s just say European agencies know plenty about Trump’s Russia connections that’s documented. The idea of MAGA real‑estate deals waiting in the post‑war rubble? Wouldn’t be surprising, but nothing official has confirmed it.

I'm worried about the info that no intel agencies won't divulge due to methods and sources. The part we see is bad, and the parts we don't see are worse. What's under the redactions?

Foiled. And I can't tell if I'm annoyed or proud: The kids quickly recognized me as a shared foe trying to grab the surplus for myself. They unionized and refused to bid against each other. Organized labor negotiated a settlement that better served their collective interests.

Just got to the airport with the kids and was pleasantly surprised to have gotten one kiddo upgrade. Problem: I have two kids.
So I'm holding an auction and they're each bidding on how many times they will unload the dishwasher over Thanksgiving. Highest bid gets the upgrade.

Unemployment has been rising “a tenth of a point here, a tenth of a point there.” That feels small month to month, but as it has added up month over month, we've silently shifted from a very tight market toward a noticeably weaker one. Slow drips still fill the bucket.

If we want to talk affordability, you know what would really help? Re-jiggering how we pay for college. There's a lot to learn from my native Australia, which has an incredibly fair and efficient system of income-based repayment.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.
