here's what we know so far: a teenager obtained a weapon, just as our founders intended, and took that weapon into a school, just as our founders intended, and shot and killed a teacher and a student, just as our founders intended, and ended up dead, just as our founders intended

People once thought a circus was fun
All the children would go there with mum
Wild animals did tricks
After training with sticks
For abuse was the way it was done

While trump spent his Thanksgiving spreading the hate on his social media, Kamala Harris was spreading the love and joy to needy Americans.

We may NEVER forgive you, America.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.

Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.

The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.

It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.

How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office
From your standpoint as a businessman and manufacturer, is there any sense behind this? Especially now that other countries are threatening tariffs of their own in retaliation. But that doesn't make sense cause it would mean raising their own taxes.

I knew on July 22nd.
I knew on August 17th.
I knew on September 10th.
I knew on November 5th, and I knew the day after.

And I know now: Kamala Harris was the right choice.

She should be President right now.

And I'll be spending 100% of the next several years calling out all of trump's bullshit.

Joe Biden needs to take his "absolute immunity" out for a spin and order the FBI to do pro-active background checks on all of Trump's cabinet picks.
