We must pay billions to farmers

Because we cut off their customers with tariffs

And pay billions to Argentina

Whose farmers are selling to the customers we forfeited

Because that is America First

Kavanaugh saying that these stops are brief and painless is like Barrett saying that carrying a pregnancy to term would have no effect on a woman because it’s easy to give up a baby

I bet it's like public schools -- they're all bad except of course the one my kid goes to. So individual Democrats across the country are probably popular in a way the party as a whole is not. And it is those individuals -- not the Dempcratic Party -- who will win the races against MAGA opponents.

I asked the FBI to expedite the release of the tape of "border czar" Tom Homan being bribed.

FBI said it couldn't see how there wasn't an urgent need to provide the public more information about (checks notes) an active federal official taking bribes and denied expedition of the request.

Isn't this exactly why the NRA says every American should be armed, to resist this kind of government tyranny?

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth.

Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

When you think you're World War II's Patton, but you're really just M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

I'm trying to figure out how shaving beards and doing pull-ups is going to develop an anti-drone defense system. Obviously Hegseth isn't thinking about such things.

ICE officer seen on video pushing woman to ground has returned to duty An ICE officer who was initially relieved of his duties after being captured on video pushing a woman to the ground has been returned to duty, two U.S. officials familiar with the matter told CBS News...

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later.

Just finished watching The Sting—great movie. Released in 1973, set in 1939.

I regret to inform you that the same time difference is a movie set in 1991.

Good. Night!

The former Marine accused of killing four people in a fiery attack on a Michigan church held a deep grudge against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to two lifelong friends and other people who knew him.

The animosity, the friends said, stemmed from a breakup with a religious girlfriend over a decade ago and led the man to rant about the church at his best friend’s wedding, refer to it as the Antichrist and, just days before the attack, spew invective against Mormons to a canvassing politician.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

I presume, based on what conservatives have said and institutions have done this week, that Brian Kilmeade is going to be fired if he hasn't already, right?
