No, laws still apply to you.

I do not fear a person who is so desperate that he crosses a border to have a job that no one else wants or will do.

I do not fear the sexuality of the 1% of people who seek to live a different gender truth.

I do not believe being rich indicates you are smart.

I do not fear learning a different perspective on history. It does not make me part of a “woke mob”. I’m a free thinker. I can accept or reject information presented to me. And so can my children.

This is from the official White House Facebook account. The lack of propriety and decorum is astounding.

For those of you celebrating the firing of federal workers, perhaps you better impress upon the shadow president Musk that he and his “go fast and break things” henchmen ought to think first. Good idea to lay off people in nuclear security and the power grid.

So inflation is up. Prices have not dropped on “Day 1”

Meanwhile the smoke and mirrors of “mass deportations” hasn’t lowered prices either.

Now it’s federal job cuts. Many MAGA people are okay with lives being upended.

Many MAGA people call themselves “Christian”. Where’s the compassion ?

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t give out legal advice, but I’d rather throw my legs up over my head and scrape the backs of my thighs with a cheese grater than accept a deferred resignation offer from these unfuckable douchelords.

Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe, despite R.F.K. Jr.'s claims. It's remarkably effective at preventing cancer — roughly 97% effective in preventing cervical cancer, and nearly 100% effective in preventing external genital warts.
Is the HPV Vaccine Safe? Yes, Despite What R.F.K. Jr. Has Said.
During his second day of confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declined to disavow comments he had made disparaging the vaccine as unsafe.

The straight-arm salute has meant very different things in different places and during different periods of history. But in Germany, the interpretation of the gesture Elon Musk made during President Trump’s inauguration event this week was straightforward. nyti.ms/4h6c5iE

From The NY Times and Donald Trump:

“…Mr. Trump said he wanted “to take a look at a fire that could have been put out if they let the water flow, but they didn’t let the water flow, and they still haven’t.”

“I don’t think we should give California anything until they let water flow down.”
