Pope Leo XIV: ‘There Couldn’t Be A Better Time To Get The Fuck Out Of America Forever’

RFK claims “70% of pharmaceutical products in the world are sold to our country” but this is a false misrepresentation. His 70% number is exaggerated and is based on sale $ not number of products sold, which ignores the fact that USA pays more for prescriptions than other places in the world

So instead of trade deals he’s just going to publicly negotiate with himself until he walks back the tariffs? We get a couple of months of supply chain shock and nothing to show for it besides damaged relationships across the world.

Oops.

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

WELL PLAYED GOVERNOR! Kristi Noem wanted to do a press conference today at the Illinois Governor’s mansion. So Governor JB Pritzker hung this banner. Noem ended up choosing a different location. Your thoughts?
