Hey dipshit. Yeah you, the dummy thinking you might vote Republican because of this. He already promised you a $2k refund of the tariffs you've been paying and never delivered. He also controls Congress and could deliver this today, tomorrow, or the day after Election Day. He won't. Don't be stupid
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 3d agoPresident Donald Trump pledged to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The promise, made at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, could cost over $1 trillion and would require congressional approval.
While it's possible to be concerned about multiple issues at the same time, even when you're as feeble-minded as Donald Trump, you have to wonder why he's tweeting about grouting a sidewalk when people are worried about Iran, Canada, and poisoned beef. He truly has no idea what's going on.

Not enough attention is being given to the fact that Donald Trump's attack against mail-in voting is a continuation of the Republican Party's practice of closing polling places. If you can't vote by mail, and they close your polling place, you can't vote against them. It's really that simple.

Wait, so everyone is twelve theory already had a name?
Vote like your life depends on it, or the life of a friend, relative, or neighbor. Because it does. We’re the decoys now.
I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
Given that Capital One just filed documents that indicate Trump is likely involved in money laundering, I would take Trump's insistence on immunity to mean that a Dem-led Congress needs to start investigating Trump financial crimes in January 2027.
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · last mo.Trump’s justice department can grant him immunity from audits but I see no reasons why a subsequent administration can’t say: that was patently illegal, toss it out, and crawl all the way up his ass.
In John Brennan's suit against Blanche, a bunch of lawyers have written what amounts to be a 50-page amicus laying how how Trump has squandered presumption of regularity. Kilmar is AFAICT the only case listed twice, and there's a bunch missing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

An extremely well-deserved victory lap from Bishop: The “index crossed into TACO territory on Wednesday and shot through its three key precedents on Thursday,” with pivot said to begin “after President Trump’s ‘mindset started to change on Thursday evening’”
Luke Kawa@ljkawa.bsky.social · 2mo agoSignum Global’s Andrew Bishop developed a “Hormuz TACO Index” (based on Brent, 10Y UST yields, Hormuz crossings & S&P 500) to map out presidential pivot points Conclusion: “extrapolating linearly would suggest that a TACO could happen as early as 7/22 and ‘should’ happen no later than 7/30”
Notable reference to the Trump vs. IRS slush fund in the final footnote of this ruling. Trump's DOJ is successfully proving to judges across the country that they cannot be trusted. Turns out that weaponizing the DOJ is harder than it looks.
Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 2mo agoFed. judge finds that Trump's DOJ—in particular AAG Harmeet K. Dhillon—was acting in bad faith and with unclean hands when it tried to bully Portland over ICE protests and the arrest of right-wing agitator Nick Sortor. In evidence: Dhillon's tweeting. www.courtlistener.com/docket/43658...
the odyssey is not accurate to the real ancient greek history because it is displayed on film and not on decorative pottery
I wonder if Trump understands that by focusing on Georgia he's pushing Jon Ossoff into the national spotlight, setting him up for a presidential run in 2028.
Feels like a good time to remember that, despite their claim to be only going after bad guys, not a single ICE agent has been killed by a bad guy. Not a single time have they raided a target in gang territory and encountered somebody who opened fire on them. Not once.

If the governor of Kentucky had any balls, he would act as though Mitch McConnell is dead. Force Republicans to prove he's alive.

Just had to confirm that Leon Black, the billionaire associated with Jeffrey Epstein, does indeed share a name with the JB Smoove character on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Yes, my brain still works.
Obama should invite the Knicks to the Obama Presidential Center.
I fully expect MAGA to claim that Trump paying Iran a minimum of $12 billion just to negotiate, compared to Obama paying $1.7 billion when a deal was reached, was due to the inflation caused by the Biden administration.
Kinda curious how many Knicks games Taylor Swift attended before she showed up for the biggest game of their century.
If you can't vote for Talarico because he doesn't support gender surgery on minors, then you should go ahead and vote for the Republican who doesn't acknowledge that trans kids exist. Why sit out an election like you did in 2024 when you could proactively make things worse.
