Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.

Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

Go, @nickjudin.bsky.social!

A standard at the @mississippifreepress.org is to question officialdom. No vapid stenography. Think. Ask.

Donald Trump is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

This is who he is.

Trump pardons former Tennessee House speaker and his aide, who were convicted on federal corruption charges Glen Casada, a Republican, was sentenced to 36 months in prison after being convicted on 17 charges, including wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

More pardons from for convicted TN GOP General Assembly members. All three were convicted of brazen campaign finance charges.
No doubt GovBillLeeโ€™s friendship with Trump made these pardons happen.

Trump is making a peace award โ€œparticipation trophyโ€ for whiny, petty, titty babies. He will award it to himself every year.

Remember when Bill Lee went to the elementary school to wash the childrenโ€™s feet in some sort of religious ritual? See his โ€œAboutโ€ page on his website where he talks about his mission to help the people of Central America? Yeah, same Bill Lee. His religious beliefs only go so far.

Reporter: That was an ad run by a provincial government in Canada.ย 

Trump: I donโ€™t care

Reporter: Why are you mad at the federal government?

Trump: Because whether it's provincial or Canada itself, they all knew exactly what the ad was. The prime minister knew, everybody knew.

Who are we kidding. It has already sold on the black market.

The website with old photos of the East wing. All of the china and silver service is there. I hope there was a recent inventory & a team of people who actually give a shit abt preserving the historical significance of the art & objects

I read (WP) they had been removing what they could for several weeks. More concerning since the experts in proper conservation of priceless, historical art and funishings are furloughed due to the shutdown. They cant just throw this stuff in the back if a Ryder truck & store it just any warehouse

It pretty much is antibiotic resistant since it is caused by most commonly used antibiotics. Treatment is with only 2 antibiotics ($$). I was stunned when i heard abt this bacteria. I had never heard of it but is rather common.

I cant believe had never heard of it.

Iโ€™m wish he would get the worst case of clostridium difficile (c diff) the world has ever seen. He will have to relocate his desk to his toilet for months.

(C diff is like noro virus and e coli on steroids.)

1. Reaganโ€™s speech is real

2. Itโ€™s public domain

3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians

4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks youโ€™re all too stupid to fact check

5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldnโ€™t even be allowed in todayโ€™s Republican Party.

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

If Thatโ€™s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
