As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Everytime I say this, it seems to be scoffed at. I don't have the reach of someone like Joe, so maybe attaching him to me saying it this time will help. Arguably one of the most obvious fucking “no shit” happenings that has ever occurred in our country. Do we need a flashing billboard?

My mom still works at a church. We showed her the halftime show and she was FURIOUS. Furious with every Christian saying it was bad, it was slutty, no one should watch. "They were MORE than fully clothed. Their problem is they're black and calling out a pedophile!" Yeah Mom. Yeah.

Here's to all the millionaire-at-birth racist brats, surrounded by yes-men, who think America's CIA & FBI agents really enjoy being abused & hunted, and would never, ever push back; especially against billionaires who might have things to hide.

Trump takes a taxpayer-funded joyride at the rained-out Daytona 500—while gutting the federal workforce. But the rain didn’t stop him from hogging the spotlight. Meanwhile, over on NASCAR’s official Instagram page—he was dragged for filth in replies…

How's that Twitter deal aging? How's Tesla's car business doing? How's that bet on Elon's magic self-driving beans feeling right about now? Go ask the one analyst who is too smart to be popular how good SpaceX's business really looks. The real letdown is still coming, bro. The signs are all there.
