LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

WAIT… HOW DID I MISS THIS?! ICYMI, Too: While I was focused on what was happening at the Kennedy Center, another name change slipped right past me—the U.S. Institute of Peace organization had been renamed the “Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace.” #PINKS www.nytimes.com/2026/09/17/u...

The GOP operative class is younger, better educated, and more urban than the national average which means their intuitions pull the party to the center.
The Dem operative class is also younger, better educated, and more urban but that means their biases pull Dems off-center.

They CAN be, but if they win, they won't be. Well, maybe they'd be impeach by the House if we get a majority, but there would have to be 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict. That is highly unlikely.

So, we are raking in so much tariff money (from our own citizens), that we can spend $1.3T to pay everyone $5k, iff Trump wins. Then why is the deficit ballooning? And no, I am quite certain the $5k bribe will be in the same account as our imaginary DOGE checks.

A couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.” Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

"This job is really just too much for me, so I just pray instead"? Or, just as likely, "I really just want to keep daddy happy despite the humiliating position that puts me in".

BREAKING NYT: A month after the Trump admin declared without evidence that thousands of noncitizens had illegally registered to vote in Nevada, DHS officials were unable to substantiate the claim — finding just 185 potential anomalies, not the 16,000 claimed last month.

Homeland Security Unable to Prove That Thousands of Noncitizens Registered to Vote in Nevada
The Department of Homeland Security told Nevada election officials that it identified 185 “potential” noncitizens on the state’s voter rolls, not the nearly 16,000 it claimed last month.

It used to be that the shared cost of living with someone (if you didn't pay rent) was counted as income, which didn't necessarily impact SSI payments. But hey, let's cut social welfare so that we have more money for corporate welfare.

Twisting the word of God to support the glorification of war is typical tactics for Trumpists. I don't think I want to know how they interpret the end of Isaiah 6. (And dange, did they have to ruin a good hymn, too??)

I have great, popping, veins, but the one time I gave blood, it hurt going in and didn't stop hurting until the end. Next time I got a blood draw they used the same vein, and it hurt sooooo bad. The phlebotomist guessed that a valve had been damaged. It's fine now, thank goodness.

I would have held out for a cookie, but it doesn't matter. For years I was too anemic, then there was a window where I gave blood once. I got some vein damage and held off for a few years. Pandemic. Now I'm too old.
