Donald, you are missing point. You place major tariffs on China thinking they will bow down to the all powerful OZ. Unfortunately, like OZ, your power is figment of your imagination. China is strengthening relationships around world with partners you are screwing with tariffs! Stop this nonsense!!

Remember, England doesn’t pay back its debts.

What little money they have comes from Scotland’s resources.

Westminster knows it.

But we know it too.

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

Trump to Milei: "Do you need any Tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess, because in this country they use Tomahawks on the opposition. I don't do that. I'm much nicer. The Democrats would use them if they had the chance. They're sick people."

ICE is probably causing an increase in crime.

I’m not referring to the many crimes committed by ICE officers—though one certainly could—but to how they’ve enabled criminals by giving them opportunities to impersonate masked ICE officers and by pulling cops off of police work to do harassment.

You can declare yourself against “universal public masking”, but that means I can declare you a dick.

Long COVID absolutely wrecked my shit because people just couldn’t see themselves considering the health of others. Knowing you’re comfortable with that tells me everything I need to know.
