If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Apathy and "both sides" are the laziest takes possible. So disappointing in the youngs there. If you want politicians to listen to you, make noise.

Napier wasn't the guy but I will always appreciate the ethics and culture he attempted to establish. Hopefully we find someone who can build on that culture while doing better with on field performance. Go Gators!

Lmao OK.

Alternative headline: Trump administration set to harm citizens in order to pressure his political opponents into cutting Healthcare benefits.

You have not provided a compelling reason to not tax wealth, but carry on if this is a hill you will die on. I'd rather spend energy uplifting all the poor instead of the newly wealthy and promoting gambling.

I love this for her. May all her private conversations become public so nobody accidentally mistakes her for a journalist.

We should be doing everything we can discourage people who are in poverty from playing the lottery because it's an absolute horrible strategy to escape poverty. And the ones that do win are still wealthy after taxes. So your proposal may increase participation while uplifting nobody.

People I know who are barely in touch with politics want the "epstein files released" (though they may not even know what files have or haven't been already) and don't understand why republicans keep delaying it. This thing is *not* going away.

Well, the girlfriend of antifa is under investigation, so there wasn't anybody to give orders.

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 14h

Why? That would affect 0.00000001% of population and benefit nobody but somebody who is now wealthy.

Just a brown liquid! Maybe it was chocolate and he loves them! Our media is complicit.

I see no issues here!

(I kid, this is funny)

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 2d

Calling a fascist a fascist is, though.

They've successfully delayed the narrative from epstein for now. But they can't hide forever.

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 2d

"lawmakers bicker" God I'm so tired of the media both sidesing and infantilizing the issues surrounding government shutdowns. This might be the simplest one yet because democrats have (for once) made this a very simple single issue thing: fund healthcare.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days.

Epstein Shutdown.

Can they not be gross and weirdly obsessed with young people's sex lives for like ONE second? Please?

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 3d

Yes he did, he is also a rare principled conservative, and seemingly a decent human too, thank you for pointing that out and reminding me.

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 3d

The polite delivery makes it sting so much more though...

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 3d

Agree! President Bush should have come out too. I know he doesn't hold sway in the modern Republican party, but anything would have helped. Even Mitt Romney BARELY made a squeek. So many Republicans are spineless. Really, Liz Cheney had the biggest balls of any republican back then.

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 3d

Yea but the other side had a WOMAN as a candidate which is like way worse than anything Trump is doing.

(this is sarcasm)

Timothy @timothycarroll.com · 3d

Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose, but this is why cautiously approaching Trump and Trump inner circle indictments wasn't necessary at all. Republicans *always* go for blood, *always* break norms, *always* break laws. There's no reason to be cautious when they are being criminals.

Your graph there matches on the same timescale. It's been in freefall since January.
