That Latinos for Trump thing really worked out. Just behind Mice for Cats and Chickens for McNuggets.
The word "infamous" means famous for something bad. People often use it incorrectly, but here JD incorrectly left off the "-in" part.
What do the generals think about JD or Johnson? That's what worries me.
Have all the legal, economic, and politics experts on standby so they know when the info is released, and can work to get out stories with highlights, implications and the nuances more casual readers would not understand.
Let oligarch-tainted media follow along to pick up the scraps, so they can pretend to still be relevant.
Present all evidence to Americans via media. Pick some of the few we still (sort of?) trust.

Set up the releases like a set of dominoes - pre-arranged to drop one after another, only don't say in advance where, so hacks and service outages can't stop them.
Well, tbh, while we're stuck with a president who said "If she wasn't my daughter, I'd date her," the whole who*is* family and who*isn't* hits a little bit differently.

The conclusion is that power kills, absolute power kills absolutely." - RJ Rummel www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/P...

Brain MRI to look for dementia plaque and drs said it was "positive" and he took that as meaning "the best" because being positive is a good thing, right?
My dog: Challenge accepted.
I'm always happy that I gain an hour PLUS the 20 min it would take to change the car clocks and old basement clock radio.
Any business that contracts with the WH now is complicit. They likely plan to eat the cost, but expect to earn favors.

Will they get those favors? I hope they never do.
Soylent Green lines.

Or probably more likely, Soylent Brown.
When you are with your small children and bad government sprays you all with chemicals, is it an "air mask in the airplane" situation where you should wash your own eyes out first, while your children scream in pain? Or do you attempt to wash their eyes first, even though you are unable to see?
A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.
We imprisoned the low-level fucks that tried the coup, but didn't charge with treason the upper-level fucks that incited and funded them.

It just dawned on me. tRump has the Epstein files and is now using them to bribe the others on the list!
And what they're giving is not "funding" the military. Those millions work out per service member to equal less than the cost of dinner for 4 at Applebee's.
