Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54.

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...

But for the rest of America?
 
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.
And skyrocketing health insurance bills.

JFC 🫩😣. It’s like the whole USA government is being run by high school bullies. It’s embarrassing! The worst we had was Stephen Harper.

Your double standards are showing America. Time to hold the GOP as accountable as the Dems.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Yea, I’m not waiting on this supposed GOP health care plan.

The truth is Republicans have had TWO DECADES to produce a bill to lower health care costs and protect care.

They don’t have a plan because they don’t want to lower your costs. Period.
