When the bailout for Argentina…is actually a bailout for the Treasury Secretary’s hedge fund billionaires.

They get richer…and it just gets harder for you.

Great so now we’re like two steps away from saying Jews cause autism

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I know I've been shitting on farmers lately, but no farmer is dumb enough to buy this. They know what they sold last year. They know this issue is exclusive to this year, and they know why

But yeah they'll still vote Trump because they are racist trans-obsessed lunatics

Brooke Rollins: "Here's what everyone has to understand. The farm economy is in a very uncertain time. But that isn't because of the current trade negotiations, although certainly the China part is part of that. But we inherited a slew of issues."

Holy ass this is fucking WILD man. Gross shit.

And again. This guy is running for Mayor of NYC and the only thing they ask him about is Israel. Broken ass media from top to bottom.

Every convo is like

"Gonna make buses free and fast!"
"In Israel?"
"No here in NYC where I'm running"
