I think Trump cares about a few things: tariffs, praise, & tacky architecture. The rest he leaves to Miller and Vought. And Miller & Vought are full blown nazis. THEY are running things. Hence, our current situation. Trump is racist, yes, but he's too sleepy for all this.

(See y'all in the gulags)

She is in top five actresses of our time. No matter what she does, she's incredible.

Is hell freezing over?

For context: Keosauqua is in one of the reddest counties in #IA01. It's a pretty long drive from any large city and not part of any major Iowa media market (it's in the Ottumwa/Kirksville MO market).

I'm not able to attend. Hope someone records this.

What the hell is this all really about, anyway? Is this a Miller thing? Who is getting in his head? Because it's just doesn't make sense to me how desperate they are to starve people, especially knowing how bad it makes them look. I know they are bad people, but do they want to look dumb?

Who is driving this? Does Trump really care or is it Vought or Miller?

I hate their clothes, I hate their makeup, I hate their plastic surgery, I hate their cars, I hate the celebration of wealth. I keep watching. I even have feelings about things. Like, why would Mary say that? Why can't Nicole just stop? Chrishell needs to leave it be! Yep, I'm invested.

They are always so excited about every for sale house on Selling Sunset but they all look exactly the same. Modern, spare, big windows, pool, giant closet room, view. I can't tell them apart. I don't know why I watch this show. I can't look away.

Elon Musk is out there constantly advertising his white supremacy, he's responsible for the deaths of countless, he regularly explodes rockets, and ended the careers of thousands of government workers and yet he's apparently still invited to the dinner table and given more power, more money, etc.

If I were still on the other site, I'd be replying to every single Rubio tweet calling him a monster for causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children in the world. I know he'd likely not see or care, but I'd still do it, because what else can I do? His legacy will be murder & destruction.

I don't know why moral politicians are constantly discussing and decrying this. Every chance they get.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Just watched this on the Criterion Channel and I found it to be a feminist film. And loved it.

This is what local elections are like in Iowa City much of the time. Who is the most progressive out of the progressives? Sometimes we do get a fake progressive.

but somehow the man is considered a "patriot" while if Biden had done anything close, he'd have been raked over the coals

Portland or Seattle? A Senior Couple Wanted an Urban Getaway for About $725,000. After years of driving to a California home for vacations, two 'committed Pacific Northwesterners' wanted to be in a downtown area with shops and restaurants.

I'm so irrationally frustrated by this. They live in West Seattle and decided to buy a condo in downtown Seattle as a second home? Because they don't like the suburbs for a second home even though they like the idea of somewhere warmer and dryer? What?

Except Jennifer Lawrence, because she does seem cool. And Kate McKinnon because she's a weirdo. An awesome weirdo.

Also, my favorite restaurant in town has failed me the last two times I went there. I try to be forgiving, but waiting an hour for soup and salad is kind of ridiculous. Being ignored and forgotten once is bad. Twice is kind of unforgivable. I'm seriously bummed about it.
