If we’re “subsidizing” every country we buy stuff from, are the people who buy stuff from Trump “subsidizing” him?

American tourists overseas are the worst. I’m embarrassed every time I travel, though I work as hard as possible to not be those people and to prove to the world we’re not all like that.

So, I’ve thought that the way to tell normal people from crazies is that normal people question the possibility that they’re the crazies, while the crazies insist they’re normal and couldn’t possibly be crazy. So the fact you’re thinking about an echo chamber means you’re not in/cultivating one.

@nytimes.com is deeply committed to stenographically regurgitating Trump’s nonsense about the Justice Department in literally every article it now writes about the topic

Who is Pam Bondi?
Trumps new pick for AG, well it seemed she was going to prosecute Trump University way back when until Trump gave her a $25,000 donation for her Run to be AG, soon after she dropped her case in FL

And that’s how you journalism.

Trump Has Lost His Popular-Vote Majority Let’s be clear about the limited nature of what he calls an “unprecedented and powerful mandate” from voters.

“.. Trump won a very close election and will govern a country where a near majority of people have voted against him three times.”

Sexual abusers are like plagiarists. They rarely do it just once.

So there’s a reasonable chance that additional credible allegations are out there, making the nominees ripe for more investigations, or blackmail

So if a Republican Senator thinks Matt Gaetz is unqualified and unfit to be AG based on his words and deeds, the richest man in the world will spend a fortune trying to get them voted out of office. MAGA rules through threats, fear, and intimidation.

The Democratic woman didn't start the bathroom debate. Republicans who need to drum up faux outrage as red meat for their ignorant base drummed up the controversy. She just wants to use the bathroom.
