Trying to coerce a foreign head of state into price gouging their public healthcare system is something I never thought I would type out in a skeet
Trump: "I called Macron of France. I said, 'You gotta double the price of your drugs.' He said, 'No no no, I will not do that.' What was the story with his glasses the other day? What the hell was that all about? ... they said, 'Whatever you ask. We'd love to do it.'"

They should have kept the thrilling "fire in the sky" section that was in the middle of "He Wanted to Say" in the original Toronto production of Ragtime (seen here with the divine Camille Saviola belting for her life as Emma Goldman)

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...
