Well then, all the easier rig!
Even I could draw the line around that district with a sharpie.

Maybe Dani and her mob should just pass legislation to abolish this inconvenient situation they created with their past legislation.
This was supposed to be a way to harass NDP and other crazed socialists, not common sense Conservatives!
Thoughts and Prayers on the FAFO.

Funny thing is, I'm not even an American and I knew what he was going to say before he opened his disingenuous mouth what he was going to say.
Well, thoughts and prayers I guess.

I do like the Cliff's notes version of these types of speeches, I'll consider myself fully briefed.

I don't know about a piece, how about a whole litter box full.

It's only bad if you have some nefarious agenda (in my opinion).
Feel free to resonate!

Every year my only New Years resolution is to be be less judgy and more accepting of others.
My smiling reaction to this comment means I still have work to do.
Good one.

I don't know, don't want to know and thanks for not sharing more.
Beyond not liking anything at all that I had seen or heard about the guy, I avoided most of the abysmal crap him and his friends put out.
Glad I wasn't related to him so I am not obligated to feel more than human empathy for him.

Oh I agree with the quality of the lies, it's the delivery that's over the top. The ability to look people in the eye and tell those whoppers is a true master class in next level pathological.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If the the objective is only "The rich get richer" then this may be the most successful regime in America's history. So not incompetent through that lens.
Of course everybody else suffers.
In the words of Melania's jacket "I really don't care, do you?".
(But I do care).

Don't worry, somewhere out there is an actual smart person developing even better charts to capture the data.
In this little detail I do have faith.

27 metric tons would be about a truck load, they actually bought about 1,000,000 truck loads.
If I had a dollar for every truck load of soybeans.......!

Well, lot of Trump admin lies, but if they just said they wanted to give Brazil and Argentina a boost at at the expense of the USA, that would have been true.

And not that regular grade but high octane Supreme grade lies.

Kinda funny, but I had a similar image in my mind when I heard stable genius.

Oh my God, the peasants are starving, they haven't any bread!

Dr Oz: Well, let them eat kale, it's better for them anyway!

Wow! Imagine how many lives that could be saved if Trump, Miller, Hesgeth et al took an ill timed team building Venezuelan fishing trip!
If there was a GoFundMe for that trip, I'd pitch in.

Just as an aside, how are rich people doing financially and has Trump and his family managed to increase their net worth?
Maybe there's a method to the madness?

I believe up until the tariffs actually cause the prices to really spike, the playbook says "blame Biden".
Next year's definitely on them.

I think he prefers "stable genius" (same thing).

He missed "I don't get no respect", which is totally true and pretty funny actually.

They don't need new leadership, they need to admit that they are two parties, the populist reform small government libertarian party and the progressive conservative party and act accordingly.
They need to devolve and give us a legitimate alternative (or two).
