Trump can’t demolish the east wing, he demolished the east wing. He can’t build an arch. He’s building an arch. He can’t promote his crypto business.. he doesn’t give a fuck what’s legal. He will seise votes from key precincts and void the midterms.

Exactly. This is such a lie. Email had a purpose. The internet had a purpose. Search had a purpose. Everybody loved Silicon Valley in the 90s because they made shit that did what it promised. Now 3 guys who never made SHIT have ALL the money in SV. They're scam artists. Not engineers.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

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"

This idea applies to other things. If you wear a big sun hat, a polo shirt, and a pair of baggy cargo shorts to the zoo, you can tell people wholly fabricated, rather incorrect information about the animals and they will believe you.

Any time any anchor ever asks a Democrat about Hasan Piker, the correct response is “Piker isn’t running for anything. Republicans have a literal candidate supported by Mike Johnson who refers to kids as cum trophies. You’re asking the wrong questions.”

You fools still think Texas is turning blue? They have owned every apparatus in the State for decades. They don’t have to even try hard to steal it. There’s no one to stop them. Mike Johnson isnt gonna seat the new House in January either. The 119th Congress is gonna barricade itself in.

Do people not realize they will either steal the elections/refuse to acknowledge the results and even if they did, refuse to seat the new Congress? They go to jail if they ever lose power again. Nothing to lose by doing a coups.

Also, im tired of people who use their (often self-diagnosed) neurodivergence and perimenopause as an excuse to be awful to other people. I do not accept your “I’m hormonal and also on 17 spectrums,” as an excuse. Please stop listening to AI avatar doctors on Tik Tok and see an actual MD if worried.

If I hear the word “perimenopause” one more time I’m gonna fuken scream.🚺have been going through menopause for millennia;Yeah,it’s annoying.It’s uncomfortable.It’s not a disease.It’s not a pathology.It’s another way to say women have the vapors/are hysterical/have Victorian novel wasting disease.

I’m old and can remember a time when health insurance wasn’t this bad. I was dx’d with ovarian cancer in 2003. Our health insurance at the time paid all but $500.00 of a 500,000 treatment bill. Today that treatment would prob. Cost 2-3 million and even the “good” insurance would pay a fraction.
