Best strange advice I’ve ever gotten: If you catch yourself having negative thoughts about yourself, start hearing them in Trump’s voice. You’ll immediately begin defending yourself.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

turns out the United States was an incredible moneymaking engine that ran on wokeness

“What did they expect?” is kind of a misleading question. The people who supported them didn’t expect something very specific. They expected to own the libs. They expected people they resented to suffer. The expected the world to burn. It wasn’t about specifics.

Tariffs on unoccupied arctic islands. No tarrifs on Russia. Tell us again it was a hoax.

Don’t call it a crash. It’s a Roman Market

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Excellent analysis, stop what you’re doing and read this (gifted/free) article!

Scaring people into quitting didn’t work, so now it’s a new game. X isn’t for gov’t business, and not replying to an email isn’t a legal resignation. We could’ve had housing help, tax breaks for workers, and better healthcare. Instead, we’re stuck with this.

President Trump has repeatedly said he intends for our country to purchase Gaza and take responsibility for preventing Hamas from returning while everything is cleared out and prepared for redevelopment, including selling parts of it to other countries. 1/4

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Make it make sense.

Damn, I’m really gonna miss Jersey Mike’s. Over/under on how long before they are all shut down? I say 3 years. www.reuters.com/markets/deal...

So I think this may be a shot across the bow of the incoming Trump admin to stay away from tariffs. Perhaps it will work as it appeals to Trump’s vanity, threatening his popularity if he goes forward with his plans? www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/11/...

Question for the political economy crowd on here. Given how bad tariffs would impact inflation, does anyone else think that Trump’s billionaire handlers would allow him to do it? I think they will encourage tax cuts for the rich and corporations, but will stop him from imposing tariffs. Thoughts?
