One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are!

WalMart is acutely aware of what its customers can afford to pay. Slashing the cost of the Thanksgiving package is a canary in the coal mine for the economy. They could have downscaled to keep the price the same but they chose to cut $10, because that was a bigger draw.

Slavery in the Americas did not emerge wholly formed in all its horrors, but rather developed - in the worst possible ways - out of traditions and markets long pre-dating colonialism.
But this isn't exculpatory for American slavery.

So yeah, sometimes when people bring up pre-modern traditions of slavery, including in Africa, and the role of Africans in the Atlantic slave trade, its clear where they are going politically and its more useful to shut that shit down.

I don’t see the video of a crowned Donald dumping shit on a crowd from a plane as a distraction from what Donald is doing, I see it as a double red underline to emphasize what Donald is doing, and I wonder about those folks who don’t think they live in the same country that we do.
Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Steve Bannon is a troll. This talk of a third term is projecting a false future with Trump in it to make him seem like less of a lame duck.

I guess that's like tautologically true but someone making minimum wage at Wal Mart will not starve to death without SNAP, they will just have to start living out of their car or forego medical care or make some other horrible accomodation to poverty because of the money they now must spend on food
Classic Iron Law of Wages reasoning that you can't pay people less than they need to live, by definition. I mean not if you expect them to continue to show up for long.

At some point they'll discover the Czech Public Benefit Of Smoking study.
(Short version: cigarettes are amazing for state finances, smokers generally live to retirement age able to work - paying normal taxes plus cigarette taxes the whole time - then tend to die quickly, incurably, and cheaply)

Not even Lydia Bennet was this fucking obsessed with a ballroom. And she didn’t have a flailing super-power to manage. 🤔
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

The AI video of Trump taking a dump on protesters points back to something else we've written off as fake. But now I really wouldn't put it past him to hire someone to piss on the bed Pres. and Mrs. Obama slept in.

“Do you know how much Obama gets paid for Obamacare? I hear it’s *a lot*. I plan to replace it with Trumpcare. For a lot less money than what you’re paying Obama for Obamacare, you can have healthcare provided by the people responsible for Trump Casino, Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Shuttle”

And now she’s talking about the difference between “beach and urban” environments, and how Huntington Beach should be careful of the urban people from Long Beach.
I got a warning from Pat Burns for calling out “that’s racist.”

This is ALL I could think of (to self soothe) while taking in the horrifyingly incompetent cruelty of this week’s ‘mission’ in Chicago.
They did this for the footage - so remind them they look like THIS when they try to use it as promotions performative bullying.
