Oh yeah catching someone who's been standing for 6 hours of their shift is going to make for a real amiable experience.

TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift. TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

Trump brags that his uncle taught at MIT, trying to piggyback on his uncle’s IQ. "I believe in genetics." What he doesn’t talk about is the genetics of a closer relative, his father, who had dementia and Alzheimer's. The family built a fake office for Fred Trump to pretend he was still working.

Yes, Donald Trump has *always* been stupid and narcissistic, but in recordings from only a few years ago, he speaks with an energy that has been replaced by lethargic wheezing and lapses in concentration.

So what if you just want to serve your country in the military now and don’t want Christian nationalism shoved down your throat and pushed on you by military leadership? I guess you are out of luck. Because that was our military for the entire history of the country until now.

Trump says a war is not a war, therefore the War Powers Act doesn’t apply. Trump says political ads are not ads they are “public service announcements,” therefore the laws banning the use of taxpayer $ don’t apply. The gangster govt changes the meaning of words to avoid the law
