You know what is a terrifying thought? If media companies thought they could make more money peddling lies and conspiracy theories, they absolutely would. Truth only gets published because it is currently more valuable than lies.
White he was occupying the White House (you know, the 75% of the time he wasn’t golfing) Trump would take two scoops of ice cream and make sure everyone else got just one scoop.
Hence the name “Donny Two-Scoops.” Bonus point, that’s also why Jr is named “Half-Scoop.”
Also the deadline is what, Friday? Sounds like another delay tactic so he can scream about the rigged courts not accepting his bond if the deadline passes and James starts collecting on the debt.
On her Rumble show, Loomer Unleashed, conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer interviewed white nationalist Peter Brimelow whose organization, VDARE, is currently being investigated by New York Attorney General Letitia James. During their conversation, Loomer went on a wildly racist tirade in which she called Letitia James, Vice...
Undoubtedly, violence would solve America’s divisions- but is it the best way to do so? The real questions are, how long would that take, who would ultimately be the losers, and would it even be “America” when it all ends?
And that’s the real difference. The law is about “willful retention” not “possession”.
Biden is not in trouble, because he cooperated and turned everything over that was found.
Trump is in trouble, because he lied repeatedly about having documents and where they were stored, so much so that even his lawyers wouldn’t swear that everything had been turned over.
Biden literally could have Alzheimer’s and it wouldn’t fucking matter, as long as he didn’t “willfully retain” any documents. Any talk about his memory is a distraction from the point that Trump actively tried to keep national secrets.
The website admitted that by later adding accurate context to its story, it “significantly diminished” its news value and led to the article being dropped....
Holy goddamn shit, that’s not even the funniest part of that! They estimate $3.6 billion in revenue by 2026? What fucking super-adderall-DMT-coke-meth-unicorn-fart drug are they smoking?
The fun thing about reality is, it doesn’t care what you want to be true or not.
The science indicates that the earth is rapidly warming, caused by greenhouse gases released by humans, and that one of the severe environmental effects of that is rising sea levels due to melting polar ice.
Florida can’t wish that away, and will have to deal with it sooner or later.
Hmm, I think there may be some overlap between “people whose brains have been damaged by improperly-ventilated gas stoves” and “people who think the government wants to rip their gas stoves out of their house and leave them to freeze.”
President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill....
…this is a joke, right? I don’t know anything about bridge engineering or shipping, but what kind of bumper could stop a couple-million-pound ship, even if it was unpowered?
homelessness did in fact spike to record levels in 2023 after the end of that chart when Covid aid ran out
Hmm, surely the fact that the House went to the fascists who stopped funding COVID aid programs because they literally don’t believe it exists had no effect on the homeless population, right?
Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t saying you did. But there’s plenty of people who would say that’s Biden’s fault, when the problem (as was predicted at the time) was caused by Republicans in Congress. Just like how ending COVID stimulus programs threw millions of children back into poverty.

Unfortunately, picking and choosing who gets to participate in democracy isn’t democracy.
That’s not necessarily true- direct democracy isn’t the same a representative democracy, for example. Also, a very strong case can be made that the US functionally isn’t a democracy, since one political party wields outsized amounts of power compared to “the will of the people.” A “true” democracy wouldn’t allow a President who lost the popular vote, or require a party to get 60%+ of the popular vote to get barely 50% members in Congress.
And yes, I realize the idea that requiring voters to be informed on issues and government opens the door to suppression of voters for illegitimate reasons. I don’t know what would be a more ideal solution, but I do know that this
We’re stuck with morons among us.
is a big chunk of the problem. A functioning government requires an invested and educated populace, and too many Americans aren’t.

Who the fuck would listen to him? He’s got all the charisma you’d expect a snot-nosed faux-crying-at-trial murderous teenager would have. Playing the “victim” of the “woke leftist mob” only gets you 15 minutes- just ask that dipshit AR-wielding ambulance chaser and his mustard-covered wife in Missouri how famous they are these days.
RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.
And provides funding for the municipalities to create said encampments, right? Surely it doesn’t require those blue Demonrat controlled cities municipalities to fund such encampments on their own, right?
Less than a month after New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would be willing to seize former Republican President Donald Trump’s assets if he is unable to pay the $464 million required by last month’s judgment in his civil fraud case, Trump’s lawyers disclosed in court filings Monday that he had failed to...
