Trump said he'd lower costs on day one.

It's been nearly 300 days now, and he's only made life more expensive.

The average American family will pay $1,800 more because of Trump's tariff taxes.

In the slippery hands of Pam Bondi
Justice is AWOL, abscondi!
She’s corrupt to the max,
Like all Trumpian hax…
If she ever had ethics … long gondi.
In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Same.
I am going to preemptively ask dispensation to not read any articles or posts about O. Nuzzi and RFK Jr.

Thank you.

Imagine being a white kid from the UK who comes to school in the U.S. and then makes it his business to not only call ICE on innocent car wash workers, but to get online and brag about doing it.

This is Trump's America.

So there’s a lawyer going around BlueSky right now responding to everyone talking about the Anthropic book settlement by (1) urging people to opt out and (2) saying that they are representing authors who are opting out.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

A pedophile who acts on his urges is a child rapist, whereas an ephebophile who acts on his urges is a child rapist.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

There’s nothing wrong with “sexological bodywork”, as long as you understand that…[it’s] no different from what many thousands of sex workers do every day, all over the world, without the fancy title. maggiemcneill.com/2021/11/10/i...

Funny. I was 15 when I was molested. I was a child.
"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think
Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

This is the final call. The money raised thus far will go to Alpine Animal Hospital in Pullman in the morning. Thank you so, SO much to everyone who donated.
This will be Last Call for Smokey's fundraiser. The funds will be used to pay for his final expenses and his cremation. I doubt we're going to push over the goal, but if we do, any remaining funds will still go to Alpine Animal Hospital's Angel Fund to help other low income pet owners in need.
Friends, we are so close to our goal for Nicole and Smokey!

Please share what you can, even if it's just sharing the link!

Please and thank you! Exclamation points!!

These were his conclusions.
