South Dakota literacy to boot: β€œon the phones and computers of myself and other politicians.”

"The government doesn't do anything well," Rick Grifter Scott says, remembering how he walked after presiding over the largest healthcare fraud case in U.S. historyβ€”roughly $1.7–2.0 billion in Medicare, Medicaid, and other health program fraud settlements. Our federal treasury is their slush fund.

True, all mentally-advanced counties do. Here, not a chance.

2/ US average monthly net salaries 38% higher ($4,324 vs. $3,131). US households also have greater purchasing power for big-ticket items like housing and cars. US costs are mixed: 37% higher including rent. So, knowing this is way over your head, I agree with your premise but not the bait.

1/ Tucker, pucker. How does Israel have a higher standard of living than the US? It is true that their education level is higher as is their longevity. But, on all other measures, they lag. Food is cheaper (by 25%, thank you Trump). But US GDP per capita stands at $73,600 versus Israel’s $48,300.

She’s probably overdue for a Botox re-up, a meth re-stock, and some cadaver fat for those bodacious lips. All can be had for non-tariff prices in Rapid. Morals, of course, not mandatory.

A problem β€œmeant to solve”? This is Trump. Not some rational actor, for Juda’s sake.

For starters, he's not a bright lawyer. He is, however, useful to those who stroke his ego. I doubt that he was signaling anything other than, "We know what we got and what are you going to be able to do about it. End of story."

Come on, man. If you’re truly on to something, retype it and, then, off to the races.

When you have ample time perhaps you might share where this was taken and any particulars on your camera settings?

Horse feathers. Todd Blanche said he withheld certain Epstein files, including images and videos depicting β€œdeath, physical abuse, or injury,” …to protect privacy… About as official as it gets.

Remembering that he said, his parents left Cuba to get away from Castro in 1956. Castro was basically ain’t nobody in 1956.

Emmer is so compromised. They are NOT the same thing. One requires evidence presented to a judge, the other is issued by a desk jock based on his or her β€œfeelings.” #DumbMAGA
