The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

If these are the marching orders the admin's given their media influencers, the facts must be real bad.

Don’t forget that this was the BlackBerry era, when the plutocrat class brazenly declared “blanket irresponsibility” for every crime they committed — grammar and spelling errors, child sex predation, mortgage fraud, unpopular opinions… none of it their fault, any more.

Note to child sex predators, wherever you reside in the cosmos: “It was the 80s… a different time…” is not the excuse you think it is.
And certainly not the “flex” you WISH it were, among a certain class of douchenozzles.

The People‘s House is under threat. Trump is strangling the Oval Office with tacky gold shit everywhere, and McMansioning the remains of the East Wing (52% of White House office space bulldozed) with a cheesy fraud-funded ‘ballroom’. What a f-ing loser.

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

This echoes the conservative counterargument to union rights a century ago, the so-called "liberty of contract."
As FDR's Interior Secretary Harold Ickes noted, that kind of "liberty" merely gave helpless individuals the freedom to "drive a bargain with a great corporation."

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Living in Portugal has made me generally more comfortable with the idea that a functioning government can just… collapse sporadically and all of a sudden, for no apparent reason.

It’s not FAIR, what we are forcing these federal ICE officers to do. His haunting eyes betray belligerence and distrust and ... terror of our fellow citizens. Their mission is a fraud, and it’s almost inevitable that testosterone-driven violence will eventually drive us toward mob rule. RESIST!

This. It’s a deeply rigged system — intentionally designed to drive wealth further into inheritance and financialization.
With refinancing, I bet a lot of people wind up paying for 50+ years anyway. Rent from the landlord or rent from the bank. It's really expensive being poor.

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.
The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.
