Yes, I listened to what Trump was saying during the 2024 campaign.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about β€œweaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

This is the way Trump must have talked about teen girls to his pal Jeffrey Epstein. In point of fact, the Kennedy Center has been dead ever since Trump announced his takeover.

a profound shift since 2015 as conservative whites become even more dissatisfied with America as the country has became more multicultural while the multicultural coalition considers whether white conservatives should be in the America tent at all. Democrats really need to stop placating.

DrDinD nails a fundamental point. The GOP is expected to be reckless and immoral while Dems are seen as RESPONSIBLE for making U.S. government work anyway. There's been an underlying consensus on that since Reagan which functions to keep white conservatives "in the tent." But there's been a

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... My understanding of this is that Andy M. Windsor will no longer be known as "Prince Andrew." Of course, Mr. Windsor belongs in jail for his complicity in child sex trafficking. But baby steps.

My last dream was about the end of an appointment with a therapist named "Judy." Due to an infant brain injury and abusive family, I've been in real therapy most of my adult life and it's been very helpful. But I also think Dream Therapist Judy has been there as well--maybe for a long time.

They'll both be contenders--same with AOC, Adam Schiff, Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Sen Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear. Kamala Harris will be a contender if she runs. Melissa Slotkin will probably be the moderate favored by the mainstream media.

No longer primarily a news organization, CBS News is more about leaking embarrassing items concerning the incompetence of Bari Weiss.

Totally agree with the mom. Are there mother-in-law horror movies? This seems like a basis for a horror plot.

The upshot from Michael Wolff is that Trump was not just a preferred client of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation. He was also involved in procuring women and girls for Epstein clients. If Wolff's claims are valid, Trump is a sex trafficker as well as a pedophile.

I like what Ruben Gallego is doing and wish Schumer and Jeffries were doing more of this themselves.

Bessent says China to delay rare earths rules by a year, buy U.S. soybeans U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday that he anticipates that China will revive substantial purchases of U.S. soybeans for several years and will delay its expanded licensing regime for rare earths by a year and re-examine it after two days of trade talks in Malaysia.

www.reuters.com/world/china/... No deal is real until the Chinese government announces it themselves. Trump administration spokespeople are such reflexive liars that other countries now have much more credibility in the United States.

Fuck this guy! Any culture that produces flaming bigots like Mike Davis is a shitty culture and white conservative culture is by far the shittiest culture in the U.S. Sitting in the nation's poorest white region in Eastern KY, I know bastards like Davis say the same kind of stuff about people here.

Bill Maher Slams Mamdani And Endorses Cuomo But Admits 'Maybe He Was A Little Too Handsy' The "Real Time" host also said Zohran Mamdani was born in a country "where they kill homosexuals" and brought up the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

www.yahoo.com/news/article... Sure, Maher's a "moderate" who thinks many Republicans (Bari Weiss, Coulter) are cool while being deeply suspicious of progressives and the multicultural Democratic mainstream. Despite media huffing and puffing, moderates are the weakest faction of the Democratic Party.

It looks to me like white men are rejecting merit altogether as a basis for opportunities and rewards. It's one of the obvious things about the Trump administration.

Trump threatens Canada with 10% extra import tax for not pulling down anti-tariffs ad sooner President Donald Trump says he plans to hike tariffs on imports of Canadian goods by an extra 10% because of an anti-tariff television ad aired by the province of Ontario.

apnews.com/article/trum... The main thing here is that this 10% surcharge makes Trump himself look weak. He also looks dumb but mostly weak.

Reagan ads could be effective with moderates and weak Republicans for a few days before moving on. That's still a positive though.
