Hearing a lot of MAGA morons in my life calling this pardon abhorrent and a bad use of power and I’m just stunned. The balls on these dummies to not notice the hypocrisy. It’s getting hard for me to interact with these people. Holiday season is gonna be tricky trying not to get an assault charge.
Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman: "But in fact, President Biden’s pardon was justified and falls within the heartland of executive clemency cases. A clear-eyed analysis of the facts, the law, and, crucially, DOJ standard practice in Hunter Biden’s case establishes this."
Night of the Hunter
You could almost hear the howls of protest begin on Capitol Hill the moment President Biden announced he was granting a pardon to his son, Hunter.

Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers in Congress have a diabolical obsession with terminating the Affordable Care Act — ripping away coverage for 140 million Americans with pre-existing medical conditions and kicking young adults off family plans.
We will stop them AGAIN!

I love my local library! They have so many cool things you can rent out besides books for free. I currently am borrowing a telescope, it’s pretty dope. They also have a service where I can digitally rent out any book they don’t have. Always nice people hanging around as well.

When people tell me 'you have to listen to the voters! the voters are never wrong!' these are the kind of stats I think of.
“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”
The results were hilarious.
Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%
The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”

I don't candy coat the damage this election is going to cause. Elections have consequences, but never lose sight of these things. That vote was as close to 50/50 as it gets. Congress is narrowly divided. We will still be us and we will learn from this and emerge stronger.

So the ppl on x which is an echo chamber of hate and sucks the teet of dear orange leader are mad that people are finding a more productive place to talk and connect with like minded ppl and are now crying they can’t troll and harass ppl who believe in truth. Sounds like beta,snowflake talk to me.
Ah yes. I truly am losing out not being called a pedo, pu$$y, child mutilator, and whatever else you can imagine. All of those came from replies or DM’s on Twitter just yesterday when I checked in. Why would I choose to go to a place anyone can see everything I post and send their lunatics after me?
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

I went from 280 to 180 in about year and a half. I made small changes in diet. Cookies at night to yogurt with fruit, sweet tea all day to flavored water and found exercise that was fun for me like bike riding and martial arts. Burns calories but doesn’t feel like exercise because it’s fun!
A month ago, I cut processed foods out of my diet. I have done no calorie counting, special diet or extra exercise, and I have lost 10 pounds.

One reason Trump wants recess appointments is to avoid having Dem Senators read out quotes like this, and ask the nominee to respond
NEW on RFK Jr: In audio we uncovered from his radio show he read and praised a description of Trump and his supporters as "belligerent idiots," "outright Nazis," and "cowards" and "bootlickers."
He also compared Trump to Adolf Hitler.
