nothing says "america first" and "free markets" like bailing out another country's libertarian failure because (1) the corrupt clown president who caused it says nice things about our own corrupt clown president and (2) our big banks don't know how to do capitalism and are the hook for a lot of it

Nothing was done, and nothing seemed capable of being done

everything is too goddamn stupid

Those of you who weren’t engaged during the Iraq war get ready for the mainstream media to go into bullshit overdrive. Their wargasms make “Hillary emails” and “Biden is old” seem quaint by comparison. Buckle up.

Musk told us that 20 million people with birthdates putting them over 115 years old were getting Social Security. Are we going to let Elon slink out of town without finding a SINGLE one of these fraudsters?

Fuck you, Jake Tapper.

The stock market is crashing so hard that the cryptocurrency BitCoin has "decoupled" from the market and is rapidly gaining in value. It's not the only crypto to do so.

The elite pundits tell us that people's pocketbooks were hurting under Biden, but their pocketbooks tell us otherwise substack.com/inbox/post/1...
