I think it’d be a good system if we agreed that you can pick up a specific “kids these days” starting at age 35 and you get one every 10 years up to a max of 4. I’m pretty strongly considering doing “they don’t look before they cross the streets.” It’s a pretty harmless one. May do music as my #2

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.
Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.
This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.
Guess that ‘Melania’ doc really paid off.

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

MAGA is abandoning Trump. A Republican just said Trump's post this morning is the most racist thing he has ever seen.
The White House is defending Trump, urging the media to talk about other things.
Okay, no problem. I can do both. Here is a full breakdown of how Trump is in the Epstein files.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

Look I would too but only but there are a lot of psychologist and psychiatrist who care about these issues and would love it if that ended up being the cure. Not to mention patients it’s not that we are stupid or there is some shadowy conspiracy against keto. These are just really complex problems.

I mean there’s always a possibility it treats schizophrenia and not treatment-resistant depression but it seems farfetched at this stage. What’s the theory for why it would?
