This coming from a woman who sold out all of America for the sake of HER state and voted for the Big Fugly Bill.

The only justice was that Trump let her vote stand to pass the measure and then eliminated the special deal Alaska got.

Never trust Trump.

I was pleasantly surprised at the trial outcome. It should have been straight-up murder, but at least she didn't weasel out of it altogether. The "Stand Your Ground" laws in some states are outrageous. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Great episode! Tell John, though," that the correct pronunciation of, "gif," uses a soft "g."

"The creator's intent: Steve Wilhite, the inventor of the Graphics Interchange Format, said it is pronounced with a soft 'g' to echo the name of the peanut butter brand, Jif, notes Wikipedia."

A lot of people don't look at the many horrible policies of the Trump administration, such the devastating results some U.S. farmers are experiencing following the dismantling of USAID.

Millions of people follow right-wing media and aren't even aware of the consequences the Trump presidency.

The "we" in this sentence refers to the non-MAGA idiots -- those among us who are stupid or ignorant enough to support Trump.

I'd think these threats would have the opposite effect on the election outcome that he's seeking -- sending New Yorkers to the polls in droves to vote for the guy Trump hates, just as they hate him.

The Delight of a Surprise Emmys Win The nightโ€™s most moving speech captured the hard slog of being a working actor.

Jeff Hiller, recognized for his role on โ€œSomebody Somewhere,โ€ was one of the nightโ€™s most surprising Emmy winners. His moving speech invoked the earnest warmth that made his show so special, Paula Mejรญa writes:

It's totally outrageous that you lost your job for posting thoughtful, accurate, important comments about gun violence in the U.S. and our country's apparent indifference to the slaughter of tens of thousands of Americans every year, many of them children.

Best wishes to you going forward. ๐Ÿ˜ข

The right-wing media don't talk about it, though. Or if they do, they lie.

The problem is this strategy works on the non-cray cray among us too. The rich have kept the poor in line this way for centuries.

Trump's massive civil fraud penalty for exaggerating financial statements is thrown out by appeals court A panel of five judges in New Yorkโ€™s mid-level Appellate Division said the verdict, which stood to cost Trump over $515 million and rock his real estate empire, was โ€œexcessive.โ€

The Courts have handed Trump another massive victory, this one in the Letitia James civil fraud case against the, uh, fraudster:

Why not call it "AD Central?" The first network whose advertising slots exceed its news hole.

That way Nicole Wallace, et al, could stop "sneaking in a break" every two minutes.

The Supreme Court says bakeries don't have to make cakes for gay weddings, so why should a Martha Vineyard's food vendor have to sell anything to fascism apologists?
