Knowledge is only half the battle. The question is: What will you do with what you know?
Well, well, well.
Looks like the last, booze-soaked synapse in Whiskey Pete’s brain may have juuust started to realize that saying shit like “any order given is presumed legal” kinda went sideways on him.
Guess staring down the barrel of a war crimes charge ain’t as John Wayne as it used to be!

Least he stayed in the room, unlike RFK!
LOOK at that face 🙄Not only does he possess zero interest or empathy, he can’t stand that NO ONE IS PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO HIM whatsoever as the Novo Nordisk executive passed out!

“Hounding airmen over shaving waivers, whatever the motive, is not a good look. It creates the impression, sought or unsought, that you're targeting black airmen. They are the ones who disproportionately qualify for shaving waivers.”

Let’s be clear: MAGA is 1000% in favor of govt welfare. They just don’t want it to go to anyone but them.
Rural voters overwhelmingly support ending “welfare” programs for poor, elderly, children, and, of course, minorities. All while being propped up by $40B in farm subsidies every year.

If I were rich I would give most of my money to the poor.
But instead I'm poor so I give most of my money to the rich.

You gotta love how the GOP has been saying for 15 years that they’re going to #repealandreplace ACA, but every time they get their chance, they run face first into the wall of their own incompetence and are forced to acknowledge the fact that they don’t have a clue how do either of those things

Tariffs have ZERO impact on vertically integrated, closed loop supply chains.
In other words, the US could tariff the HELL out of every ounce of imported food and it would make ZERO difference in the lives of most Americans…because govt doesn’t control prices, Tyson and JBS do

You really have to hand it to Big Ag. Convincing three generations of US farmers that the biggest threat to their survival is supply-side economics while simultaneously creating a supply chain that hands control of 85% of global market access to 5 MNCs is a level of misdirection Houdini would envy!
