If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

It's amazing how many corporations -- much less private individuals -- still believe they need to stay active on the white nationalist forum and CSAM generator.
Sure, you may have succeeded in blocking yourself from seeing these things there, but all of us still see you there alongside those things

Side note: I heard Thomas Paine invoked twice in 2025 — by a Christian nationalist and a Catholic integralist.
They both were disparaging Paine, which makes sense, as Paine would arguably be a progressive even by today’s standards — but his influence on American history is undeniable all the same.

It is probable Thomas Paine was the chief architect of the Declaration of Independence. Definitive information on this is coming in our 6 volume Collected Writings Project with Princeton University Press in the Spring (400 newly discovered Paine works included) thomaspaine.org/the-sherman-copy/full/

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

DOGE cut 7000 jobs at the Social Security Admin and closed 50 field offices, and now they’re struggling to respond to up to 6 million pending cases in its processing centers and 12 million transactions in its field offices.
Now they’ll say it’s broken and must be privatized.
