ALL OF THIS. Plus so many sites won't let you in with an ad blocker on. If your site wasn't full of obtrusive ads that are near-impossible to dismiss or move past without opening and blocking what I came to read, I wouldn't need to have the ad blocker on!
Yes, I’m cranky, a storm is coming, but Jesus Christ why do I have to click “reader mode” to even have a hope of reading anything online these days? If you publish something you want people to read, why do you also cover it with 25 ads so they can’t actually read it?

Right? The only time he tells the truth about something he's going to do is when it's something terrible.
Also what makes people so sure he’s actually going to do this? He fucking announced life saving COVID cocktails free for all seniors and then did that exactly zero times.

Rep. Michael Rulli: "The Democratic Party... your rhetoric needs to be toned down... when Joe Biden was in office, we listened, we watched, and we spoke, but we spoke fluently and we didn't speak with this hate... you tried to kill our president twice. You actually killed Charlie. Enough is enough."

The Constitution affords every American the right to due process and a protection from unreasonable search and seizure of your private property. The Roberts court has decided you don't have those rights if you look Spanish. This is disgusting. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
