Q: So Dr Oz said that--
JEFFRIES: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr Oz seriously.
Reporter: Dr Oz said thatβ
Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriouslyβ¦ Iβm not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.
The only silver lining to last nightβs cave.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?
The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

Seems a bit hubristic to suggest God needs saving.
09.11.2025 17:15 β π 692 π 103 π¬ 98 π 7In response to Elon Musk dunking on someone as a "taker, not a maker," JCO quotes and replies "So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβscenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the 'most wealthy person in the world.'"
My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because sheβs playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. π
Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.
Endless projection. I hate him.
At least Trump is coming back to DC early from his golf trip to Palm Beach so he can attend a football game while pressuring them to name the stadium after him.
Heβs always working hard to improve our lives.
