Every Trump move is a Counter Epst-ionage Operation.

Why is it hard to get. NYC: rent, child care, food, and transport costs price you out of city? โ€œaffordabilityโ€ describes it better than โ€œkitchen table issuesโ€ Who has time to sit at kitchen table? In 2025 even rural & suburban folks get โ€œaffordability.โ€ Mamdani connects dots in a new way.

Scott says Americans dont get whatโ€™s Beautiful about the bill because we donโ€™t understand the pieces. So every 2 weeks heโ€™s gonna โ€œextract (a piece) and educateโ€ us. The piece I think Scott should extract first is his head from Trumps ass (to paraphrase a fella at a GOP town hall).

While Americans go hungry, President Donald Trump was partying it up.

The president spent Friday night hosting a Great Gatsbyโ€“themed Halloween celebration at Mar-a-Lago, just hours before tens of millions of low-income Americans were set to lose access to food stamps.

A shocking level of cruelty mixed with demented delusion. Building a grand palace ballroom for the rich while using hunger as a political tool against those in need.

Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking with reporters inside Air Force One

To be clear, calling it the Epstein Ballroom doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™s named for Epstein the pedophile. So many others. Could be Epstein from Welcome Back, Kotter.

Trump is extremely unpopular.

Trump is extremely unpopular.

Brutal.

A true leader would resign based on this alone.

Every day is Opposite Day if your head is in trumps rectum. Speaker Johnson: โ€œwe call it the โ€˜Hate Anericaโ€™ Rally.. I bet you youโ€™ll seeโ€ฆ people who donโ€™t want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.โ€ Thatโ€™s a bet you lost big time, opposite boy! Pay up.

In a Cabinet of Fools. Scott Bessent: โ€œthis crazy No Kings rally, which is gonna be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Partyโ€. This what you call hard core? Time to take your head out of Trumpโ€™s ass, Scott.

Cuomo is an embarrassment. If he hadnโ€™t been publicly sat down once already, I would say โ€œjust sit down.โ€ Heโ€™s ready &willing to kneel to fascism and sacrifice New Yorkers in the bargain. Pathetic.

Mamdani on Trumps threat to punish NYC if he wins: "Heโ€™s going through the many stages of griefโ€ฆ First, itโ€™s denial that this could ever take place. Now itโ€™s acceptance. And still through it all, he is looking to use every tool at his disposal to help Andrew Cuomo become the next mayor of the city.โ€

Gov Pritzker: โ€œโ€ฆDonald Trump not only has dementia set in, but heโ€™s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that thatโ€™s some sort of proving ground for warโ€ฆis just, frankly, inane.. something genuinely wrong with this man, and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.โ€

Wow. The GOP Speaker of the House, when told by a Dem Representative that โ€œthe president is unhinged. He is unwell,โ€ responds โ€œA lot of folks on your side are too. I dont control him.โ€ So he sees Trump as unhinged and unwell. Glad thatโ€™s out in the open. Thanks Mike.

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go.

They think he's an idiot and a buffoon.

Because that's what he is.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

For farmers, Trump tariffs destroy markets abroad & wreck local economy. โ€œGackle said the losses are not just tied to individual farmers. "It's the small businesses, the local grocery stores, hardware stores, our local schools, our financial institutions, they are all feeling the hurt from this."

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesnโ€™t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal โ€œresourcesโ€ he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Thinking ahead about what the post-Nazi era of accountability might look like. Who will be named todayโ€™s โ€œmajor offenders,โ€ โ€œmilitarists,โ€ โ€œprofiteers,โ€ โ€œlesser offenders,โ€ and โ€œfollowersโ€? Not too soon to plan for after the fall. www.theholocaustexplained.org/survival-and...

What kind sickness is it when someone says an obvious thing, as Harper did, โ€œIf you want people to speak kindly about you after youโ€™re gone then you should speak kindly while youโ€™re alive.โ€ And so-called people are like, hey dude, take that back!! Bryce is right: speak kindness not cruelty.

Bizarre that they do not want to remember someone they admire by the things the person said. Maybe they donโ€™t really admire the words. If they did, wouldnโ€™t they be reading them aloud and reprinting verbatim? Like on Wikipedia?

GOP Reps in Montana, Missouri, FL, and Utah hate โ€œequityโ€ so much they cut highway projects in their own districts โ€œto the detriment of their own constituents.โ€ Never occurred to them that โ€œequityโ€ meant decent roads, fair access in Utah and Montana.
