The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.

The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

If The Old Man really wanted people to buy AMERICAN soybeans, maybe he shouldn't have given 20 million dollars from THE PEOPLE'S MONEY to go bail out VENEZUELAN interests... Don't those include THEIR soybeans?

Those Republican "locker rooms" must be some rather... wild scenes, for this to be what their leadership, such as Stefanik and CouchFuckboy Vance, would seem to condone and instead supply tepid half-assed excuses.

D’Angelo was far more than the shirtless sex symbol he was painted as

The late singer’s iconic music video for Untitled (How Does It Feel) had him unfairly pigeonholed for much of his career

Oddly enough I suppose the girls and women who align with a certain "right of center" political group find no problem with such objectification at all. Might be the one thing making for fewer "incels".

Slight delay on the 16:20 to Alicante due to a fuel leak. Shouldn't be long, Wayne reckons it'll be sorted in a few minutes using our high tech cleaning equipment. He might need to stop for a cigarette break though.

There's something peculiar about the way Venezuela happily took that $20M bailout from The Old Man but seems to say nothing about him having their boats blown out of the water and ending people without any real validation. Who were these targeted lives?

If you're NOT angry that the US government would rather spend money bailing out Argentina than helping all American citizens have healthcare credits in the US budget...

Perhaps you need anger management to be angry properly.

Maybe you've lost that "America First" energy. Where'd it go?

Seeing the two headlines --
1. "Israel supports [Ch]ump for Nobel PEACE Prize"
2. "[Ch]ump supports Netanyahu for pardon"
-- in the same day is like Bullshit Overflowing. None of that works.

So wait... on a hot mic, the Old Man was caught doing for Eric what they blindly and falsely accused Old Man Biden of doing for Hunter... Interesting.

Mike Johnson fails to realize that this shutdown only truly reflects on his unwillingness to allow the government to function in any aspect, as well as the unwillingness to prevent Americans from falling into decline. It reflects on his boss also.
