May I offer a hearty FUCK YOU on behalf of an ailing planet, #Switzerland .. hope all that cash keeps you warm at night.
Voters in Switzerland rejected by large majorities two initiatives in a referendum today, one proposing to tax the super-rich on their inheritance and another to extend mandatory civic or military service to women.
Swiss voters reject tax on super-rich and civic duty for women
Some 84 percent of voters said no to a proposal to extend mandatory civic or military service to women, while around 79 percent voted against the inheritance tax, according to initial projections.

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

Read that twice, maybe three times. 400 TONS of cocaine. Not a fishing boat but over 800,000 lbs of cocaine….

What are the odds Donny Jr suggested this one?

Her lies are so blatant now that they’re getting just ridiculous. Here it is : if there’s nothing to hide the just release them.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Let's help Clay out here with some math.

The $4200/yr. is for a household. Average SNAP household has 1.9 people. So that's $2210/person.

$2210/year is $184/month, and that's a little over $6. per day.

Clay, let's see you stockpile groceries on $6/day.

Hell, let's see you eat on $6/day.

Holy fuck. This administration is a terrorist organization in EVERY sense of the phrase.
I've seen almost no other coverage of this. Trump is sending the FBI to the homes of protestors, ostensibly to find out who is funding and organizing the protests, but obviously also to intimidate people into not protesting anymore.

We really should be talking about this more.
Apparently Trump is now sending the FBI to the homes of innocent protestors, in part to find out who is behind the "criminal conspiracy" arranging these protests.

The real reason is obviously the chilling effect on free speech for those attending.

Trump skipped trial for leading a coup and stealing secrets—now he wants you to pay his $230 million tab? That’s some bullshit.

BREAKING: After Trump threw a tantrum over Ontario’s anti-tariff Reagan ad, Premier Doug Ford just bought airtime to replay it during the World Series — guaranteeing millions of Americans (and Trump himself) will see it again. 🍿 Now that’s poetic justice.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.
