Shoppers spent a record breaking $10.8 Billion on Black Friday online shopping.
Seems like egg prices, grocery prices and gas prices aren’t too bad after all. Thanks President Biden.

💯 #msm is the problem NOT the dems
Right now, there's a lot of journalists and talking heads trying to tell the Dems they need to change their messaging, instead of being honest about the racism, misogyny, and lack of education on the issues that made people vote for a criminal-sociopath.

No, the Democratic Party Can't "Message Better" to Racism, Misogyny, and Ignorance
In the wake of the election results, one of the most common media postmortems has been the Democratic Party’s supposed failure to reach those Americans who they were unable to persuade over the course...

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.
Why am I telling you this?
In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?"

The simple truth is, America elected yet another old white man as president — one who thinks 19th century economics and culture were better. All the younguns complaining about geezer presidents were bullshitting. They just disliked Biden. apnews.com/article/tari...
Trump’s latest tariff plan aims at multiple countries. What does it mean for the US?
Donald Trump has identified what he sees as an all-purpose fix for what ails America: Slap huge new tariffs on foreign goods entering the United States.

A whining Rudy Giuliani asked a judge for special treatment today, saying “I have no car, no credit card, no cash, everything I have is tied up, they have put stop orders on my business accounts, and I can’t pay my bills.”
I’m sorry, but boo f*cking hoo.

Instead of writing last night, I shared pictures of the ice cubes I'd made for Thursday morning mimosas & my hot take on the not unexpected dismal of the Special Counsel's indictments. The most important thing is this: Donald Trump is not innocent. joycevance.substack.com/p/dismissed

I had plans to write about a number of things tonight, most importantly, the not-unexpected but still deeply disturbing dismissal of the federal criminal cases against Donald Trump.

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad
The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

Completely agree
yes. Hunter should get a pardon, if for no other reason than as a fuck you to Merrick Garland www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Joe Biden Should Commute Any Prison Sentence for Hunter Biden
Should the president pardon his son?

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

The idea that those on the left will ever agree enough to be an “echo chamber” is rather funny to me.
We couldn’t even agree whether to refer to Kamala Harris by her first or last name.

I’m here for the echo chamber
One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
