Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Cory Booker Just Gave The Longest Speech In The History of The US Senate Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate...

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

imagine what you could do if you had more money than god. one way to play it would be to fuck off and never be heard from again, and quietly enjoy a world of limitless possibilities. on the other hand, think of all the good you could do as a humanitarian. you could fund programs to end hunger, or cure disease. want to be remembered forever? build libraries, universities and hospitals, and slap your name on them, so your legacy lives on after you’re gone.

or β€” if none of that shit is for you β€” you could just be some broken-inside asshole who never stops whining about being insufficiently worshiped.

β€œI mean, you have Tim Walz, who’s a huge jerk, you know, running around on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price had gone in half. and he was overjoyed. what an evil thing to do. what a creep. what a jerk. like, who derives joy from that?”

who wants to tell him?

dude. all of us. we’re all deriving joy from that.

we’re all sitting here watching Tesla’s stock price plummet like Wile E. Coyote off the end of the cliff β€” and that shit is fucking hilarious.

Every word of the two posts below is nonsense, and either both of these men know that or neither should be allowed to use a fork to eat because they might hurt themselves
