This isn’t a joke, by the way. You can see the misspelling of United States on the document Trump pushed out on Truth Social:
truthsocial.com
Truth Social
Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

“If we buy $2 billion worth of bananas from Brazil, we’re actually losing $2 billion. So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save $2 billion.” As we all learned as kids and know intuitively…aka it’s just common sense.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

NYT pitch bot: We were skeptical of online complaints of explosive diarrhea, which has always seemed like an overreaction. So we had 65 people test 21 salads, and we were surprised to actually see results. Are you missing out?

Weather apps have been gaslighting me all day. My meters were offline, so I was looking at public data because the air felt bad, but they said AQI was fine, so I left windows open. This evening realize once my meters are reporting that the house almost hit 200. Argh.

My next sci fi novel will open in a future world where the citizenry clamors up walls, hammers in hands, physically chipping away at a previous act of political-architectural theater, each sharing their ID with a scribe who is continually passing the names on to the Office of the Pardon Attorney.

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder: The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.

Caption: John Strong, 18, of Lake Oswego adds to the noise in Section 206, where anyone who considers himself "mental and barmy" can be part of the Timbers Army.
