Brutal! The Cornell rapists had to write those essays in longhand while still recovering from a slap on the wrist.

Let's see the essays. Make them public. Let us read these scrawled golden tickets offered up by Cornell administrators to allow rapists to continue on with their lives unscathed. Was there a required word count? Did any of them use AI to write their "sorry for raping you" pieces? Let us read them.

Everyone ready? We only had 10 years of people saying that this was their endgame. If it doesn't happen by November, it'll happen before January 2029. Either way, these creeps have no intention of allowing our democracy to survive or ever leaving power.

The Supporters Urging Trump to Declare Martial Law for the Midterms
Trump’s advisers have been working for months to move his focus away from baseless theories of election fraud. A group of outsiders is making that difficult.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself. No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy. No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'. No one did anything. Sad.

Words matter. They are able to twist the narrative away from what is really happening by framing it as something else.

I built one of those Little Free Libraries and filled it with Ayn Rand books. I am putting it on the top of a telephone pole and when you get there you find out that each book cost $150 because no one should expect a boost and entitlements weaken moral character.
