I’m just waiting for someone to say “trickle down.”

Admiral Cooper at least has a master’s in Strategic Intelligence and studied International Relations at Harvard. I wouldn’t trust the others to negotiate pizza toppings.

The site evidently hosts a wide variety of porn.

Disagree. What diminishes the impact is using artificially inflated statistics, which allows people to dismiss your argument. It’s horrible enough that there are 1000 on that site, is it not?

Who do Kushner and Witkoff represent? Neither is an elected or confirmed. Shouldn’t we have at least one person at the table representing the United States?

Context: the porn site that hosts the ‘academy’ has 62 million hits a month. The ‘academy’ got about 1000 hits. There should be zero, because it shouldn’t exist. But there is a huge difference, and accuracy is important. Snopes has receipts.

The biggest link I can see between ”looksmaxxing” and the far right is the pain, greed and vanity.

I really don’t want a President who can’t tell the difference between Jesus and a doctor.

They were for sure playing the long game.

Also in the 1970s/1980s: Right-wing and Christian groups acquiring as many AM radio stations as they could. Rural folks depended on these pre-internet as important, local news sources.

For years the story of how Melania met Donald was “at a party.”
Only recently has Zampolli been trotted out as the person who introduced them.

Is “parallel diplomacy” FTs way of saying ‘deep state?’

It’s amazing how CA gov called a special election to fill an empty seat the very next day after Swalwell resigned while FL Senate District 14 was without representation for 224 days after Jay Collins resigned to become Lt. Governor.

Is she still living in guarded housing on a military installation near DC?

Is Pam Bondi still living in guarded, secure housing on a military installation near DC?

If he can’t tell the difference between Jesus and a medical doctor, why the hell are we letting him be President?

Congress should establish a method where The People can recall a President.

Directly to the White House.

Yes. And the puss caterpillar somehow non-intuitively becomes the flannel moth.

Not touching is a good practice for all hairy worms. Even if they look like a part fell off a golden retriever. This puss caterpillar will hurt you like wasps can only dream of doing, and can also send people into anaph. shock.

Dagger moth caterpillar. Do not pet the fluffy bugs. You may or may not die, but will for sure have a painful rash.

If Pete were President there would never have been a need for bluesky and we’d be at brunch.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Montana has figured out a way to put the screws to Citizens United.

Good.

All states need to do what the gutless SCOTUS won't.

“If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register Americans to vote at 18.

Ask yourself why they won’t”
Josh H.

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

She thinks it’s important that everyone understand Epstein did not introduce her to her husband.

She never said who did. Ghislaine?

"...there is no real 'labor shortage,' only a shortage of people willing to work at the wages currently being offered. You might as well talk about a 'Lexus shortage' — which there is, in a sense, for anyone unwilling to pay $40,000+ for a car."
