Trump's trade rep Jameison Greer claims that US farmers are better-off because Trump has cut the agricultural trade deficit in half. Let's ignore the fact that "trade deficit" means nothing to a farmer who can't afford diesel or fertilizer & instead focus on the receipts.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

A FUTURE GAME SHOW: “Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder, so he gets the point. And, an extra bonus point goes to Sue, as she was offended by your answer.”
A drawing of a television game show set with three walls behind the host and three contestants behind their respective podiums. One wall is comprised of question squares, another reads: “Facts Don’t Matter”, and the last is blank. The host addresses one of the contestants:
“Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder so he gets the point. And an extra bonus point goes to Sue as she was offended by your answer.”

In case you were wondering where the america.gov AI chatbot stood on the matter: "Who won the 2020 presidential election?" "Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election."
Who won the 2020 presidential election?

Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

The National Archives records 306 electoral votes for Biden and 232 for Donald J. Trump (270 needed to win).
Official FEC results list Biden with 81,268,924 popular votes (about 51.31%).
Sources: National Archives Electoral College 2020, FEC official 2020 presidential results (PDF).

50 years ago today, four teenagers came together in Dublin and began a journey none of them could have imagined. It started in 1977, at Mount Temple Comprehensive School where U2 formed their band. Today, the lads came back to where it all started. I have seen U2 in concert so many times.

The guy with his back to us is now Bert, but Bert is being operated by Frank Oz, who is crouched down in front of the counter. The waiter/server is now Jim Henson who is looking intently at Kermit, and Kermit, who is occupying half of Jim's right arm, is looking intently at Jim. The diner is now called "JIMMYS".
