No. Nor is there any precedent where the President accepts a personal gift from said country, is doing real estate deals in said country and the president's son in law is also profiting from deals in said country.

I don't think so.

Diego Garcia is UK with US planes, but that's kind of the reverse.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

BYD just hit its 14 millionth NEV and overtook Tesla (total 7 million) in global #BEV sales for the first time — 1.6 M vs 1.2 M YTD 2025, a 400 K lead. The world’s top #EV maker isn’t in California anymore — it’s in Shenzhen, driving the new electric era. Geely rising fast also. #EnergyTransition

BYD's 14 millionth NEV rolls off line at Brazil plant, delivered to President Lula

The rollout of BYD's 14 millionth NEV comes about 11 months after its 10 millionth vehicle.

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

KILMEADE: Would you do a standalone military vote to get them paid during the shutdown?

MIKE JOHNSON: Well, the thing is, Brian, remember this -- three weeks ago today, we voted to pay the troops

On the day I was supposed to stand trial for calling Mike Flynn a Nazi, the Republican Party followed the script of the National Socialists in Weimar Germany—down to the details of a Jewish-communist cabal of “Antifa” conspiring to cause chaos.

Generally speaking I think the entire apparatus of DHS needs to be rethought, though I would prefer it not to happen under this particular administration for obvious reasons.

Just to be clear, the circumcision “link” to autism RFK announced is:
-Antisemitic
-Anti-Muslim
-Ableist and Neuroableist
-Sexist (implies that women can’t be autistic)
-Rooted in conspiracy theories
-Medically unsound

…I could go on. Like his Tylenol assertion, it’s total BS.

someone get us a time machine so we can go back to our founders in 1951 and describe how 74 years later we'd be flouncing our giant hog on the Internet
