Incredibly telling that more White House reporters made a bigger deal about Trump calling a woman “piggy” than him using a slur about people with disabilities.

What's most galling is Wurman and Barnett aren't stupid. They both know exactly how dishonest this is. Whatever their motives, and I don't really care, they're not doing scholarship in any of this. They're willful liars abusing their credentials in an aid of a lawless attack on fundamental rights.
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

They’re clearly plugging this dude into an IV regularly and, if this were Biden, there would be demands for weekly hour long press conferences from his doctors on his health. But that’s not how authoritarianism works so stop asking questions already.

I allege that Garrett Michael Berna, a licensed mental health counselor out of West Brookfield MA & practicing in Newton MA (lic. #LMHC10304), is dead certainly a member of Patriot Front and the New England Active Club. He's likely been active with both organizations since April 2024, if not before.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.
His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.
He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

That's why so much of Middle Age Consumerism is also "buy 20 of the thing that works, the moment it goes on sale at Costco"
….and then seeing said thing that finally works discontinued, retired, or otherwise made unavailable
Middle age consumerism is just the exhausting process of finally finding A Person Or Brand That Does Something Well and then prayerfully throwing money at them

You can say whatever you want about international law not being real but the U.S. government sure seems pretty scared of it right now
In a back channeled "offer" to the International Criminal Court, the United States proposed dropping sanctions on ICC officials if the Court
•Dropped charges on Israeli officials and pledged not to indict anymore
•Stopped investigating crimes in Afghanistan
•Amended the ICC treaty
the ICC said: no
