If it mattered, you'd offer a gift link. As it is, you're just selling magazines, and I gave at the office.

Trump Lawsuit Against IRS Puts Him on Both Sides of the Same Case President Trumpโ€™s lawsuit against the government that he runs presents a mind-bending minefield of conflicts that could end with his appointees approving a federal payout to him.

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Why we should worry that Trump's spy chief was spotted at an FBI raid of an election office The incident is beyond suspicious. In fact, itโ€™s a real-time flag of potential corruption โ€” and the president's ambition to rig the coming elections.

Former DHS Chief of Staff Miles Taylor wrote the Executive Order that Dear Leader claims gives him and Tulsi Gabbard the right to steal ballots in Georgia. It most certainly does not, as Taylor explains:

My senators had been silent on the appropriations bill so I emailed them about voting against further funding for ICE. They announced that they will vote against the bill, because lots of us were in touch. Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land.

Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?
That is Heaven's part, our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.

I'd at least say that being dumb as shit leads to only watching Fox and Newsmax, listening to talk radio and reading the NYPost. At which point you become both dumb and ignorant.
