Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

This is a bad move in bringing foreign tourists back to the US, and will lead to retaliation in kind against American tourists abroad.

i know “quiet, piggy” is just one raindrop in the flood of vile, shocking statements from trump, but it’s SO cruel, so threatening, such a violation of our most basic interpersonal norms. i would really like to see it get some actual coverage.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."
Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

It's also striking to see him say it face-to-face, instead of just hearing about it or seeing it in a tweet.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.
