Favorite PINO story was when he gave Christie the task of assembling the new admin by vetting & shepherding a thousand nominees. He was summarily fired when PINO found out he was raising his own money, as required by law, and not tithing to Trump. “I don’t care about the law! I want my money!”

Tell me how ICE are not domestic terrorists if they instill fear, anger, anxiety, and terror wherever they go. Defunding ice isn’t far enough. Abolishing ICE altogether is the only answer we should accept.

There is no specific Constitutional prohibition of shooting a man after pinning him down, pepper spraying him, and taking his gun. So while the radical left may choose to bring charges against the men who shot Alex Pretti, those charges would not be rooted in the Constitution.

Hot take but a lot of opposition to “e-bikes” is just opposition to bikes in general. E-bikes are not quieter than acoustic bikes, when any bike is noisy it’s almost always noisy brakes or chain which apply to both types of bikes

1/3 "PUBLIC CITIZEN:" We just sued the Trump regime over another element of its illegal immigration “policy.”

It's the 32nd lawsuit Public Citizen has filed against the administration since Donald Trump returned to power.

The Trump regime is waging a campaign of terror against people in America

In legitimate criminal cases, political appointees don’t have to first hollow out U.S. Attorney offices of objecting career prosecutors with integrity; federal judges don’t kill the cases at the cradle, and the government doesn’t fight tooth and nail to revive them.

More enshittification from Trump. He’s grifting on America and it’s obvious and the emasculated Congress isn’t doing shit.
More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.
How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives
Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

Trump is telling the world something important about himself when he lies about his moral depravity. He's telling the world that he is ashamed of who he is. He's ashamed of what he does.

It's still a cover-up
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

In all the blowback from the deleted Obama video, has anyone mentioned how Trump has basically admitted that pretty much anyone on his staff can post things to his social media account and is, therefore, also running/ruining the country?

Trumps economy slowly unravels as he fucs everything up. Excellent data.

Did I hear he refused to release the latest jobs, inflation and economy numbers?
Trump accepts ownership of the current economy:
'I'm very proud of it'

Yes, AWS has learns how to enshittify all their businesses. Google is just learning.
Cloud computing should be a completely commoditized service where prices are always falling to costs.

But it’s not for AWS (though it is for Google), because of moats.

Here’s exactly how they think about that:
Moats: Durable competitive advantage
Industries commoditize over time, delivering similar products at similar prices resulting in low profit. Moats are the antidote; your strategy must create some.
