What was all that they were saying about “violent” and “divisive” left wing rhetoric?

The 1939 building did contain a large reception hall and ballroom, but it was not 60,000 sqft. They measured approximately 478 sqft and 4,300 sqft respectively, for a total of under 5,000 sq ft.
I get the point. But no need to exaggerate history when NOW gives so many examples.

I don’t dispute the disturbing overlap between Trump administration officials and fascist ideas and actions, but this meme is NOT true. No 90,000 sq ft ballroom. Sorry.

The average age of people who filed for bankruptcy due to medical costs is around 44.
That’s a lot of folks under 50 requiring significant medical care.

No respect for this turkey neck. He's an idiot with an cabinet full of nutjobs.

I'm beginning to think South Park has reached this pedophile. The live ammo over CA highway that hit JD's security detail might have targeted JD.

Wake up JD; he's proven to have little respect for his VPs.

Well, the client is the expert on their experience & goals, & whether they are making progress in addressing those goals. I offer expertise in identifying and structuring goals and helping them identify, learn and implement techniques to help them achieve those goals.
It’s a cooperative process.

Not to mention that Reagan wore tan suits multiple times with no discernible comment.

Because if a whining, weakling, professional victim like Trump can win, that means they can too?

His cocaine use and related paranoia are increasingly problematic.

This is the perfect metaphor for Trump’s impact on the country and our institutions.

I wonder - how many times does ICE have to be shown to have overtly lied about events before the media will stop presenting ICE’s version of events until a full
investigation is completed?

freelib.bsky.social @freelib.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah. This is the new right wing male brand, and now a qualification for serving in the Trump administration.

freelib.bsky.social @freelib.bsky.social · 11h

This is awesome!

In addition, HBCUs also receive federal funding, opening the door to equal access issues, although wouldn’t that now be considered DEI?
I do not believe the Hawaiian school receives federal funding.

Collins, the 5 term incumbent?
With the two candidates the dems are fielding it seems even “victory” could be a defeat.

Lara Trump thinks the “left” is “freaking out” at the idea of her performing in an alternative right wing Super Bowl halftime show.

No, we’re mocking the idea that they would and could ask you to perform, dear.

And who defrauded Medicare for $1.7 billion, as CEO of a company found guilty of 17 counts of Medicare fraud.

freelib.bsky.social @freelib.bsky.social · 14h

Yes, dear. This is why we follow the news. They told you
they were going to do this.

“You see! We told you ICE lives were at risk!”

This is NOT “Trump overreach”. It is Trump breaking the law yet again.

freelib.bsky.social @freelib.bsky.social · 14h

This is a good thing. But how long before the Trump DOJ sues because it’s “DEI” that violates able bodied rights?
