Well, technically, if he was mentioned 105,742 times, Patel isn't lying.

Tяump has chosen the "Chinese Water Torture" method of releasing the files. Drip, drip, drip, in a never ending stream.

No matter. His choice. It will all come out eventually.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

BlueSky just verified the White House account. I responded by doing the only appropriate thing:

I haven't personally researched his history, but it's entirely posible that Paul Simon was never actually a Boxer.

And although I was in Atlanta once for a convention, unlike the B52s, I've never actually verified the existence of a "Love Shack" there.

Sometimes a lyric is just a lyric.

Blinded by those high beams, and Batshit McGoebbels needs to hide that gut. That's not what "Nip and tuck" is supposed to mean.

It seems like it's more of a "Thank you for focusing your attention on this other thing instead of where I don't want you to look". Weird.

There is a question about why the phrase "Thank you for your attention to this matter" has become the new fixation. It's almost like he's saying "Hey, lookie over there! Lookie over there at that thing!" in order to distract from something else.

Unfortunately, none of this will matter unless the billionaires are affected.

Average SNAP recipient gets $187 per month.

If a SNAP recipient works a minimum wage job, 40 hours per week - $187/160 = $1.17. If they work two jobs, for more than 40 hours a week, that number gets smaller.

Pay people enough to live.

Seems like "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" is oddly prophetic.

So, now that Hatchet Man is heading back to Tesla, what becomes of the ill-advised two week re-write of the SSA system? Is that back on a sane schedule? Asking for a few million friends.

So, the President of the United States, with the greatest military in the world, is a powerless wuss when Americans are injustly imprisoned in a hostile country. That's their story?

Nothing about bags. "[G]roceries" entered English in the 1300s, and comes from the Old French "grosserie" (wholesaler). It should be subject to a 25% tariff.

Whether he signed it without knowing what he signed, or someone used an autopen, or has a bunch of rubber stamps with his signature doesn't really matter. The government is being run by his sycophants (Miller, Bannon, Musk, etc), because he doesn't like having to work.
