BAC%?
In other words, women realize they’ve been mistreated by straight white men. Minorities realize they’ve been mistreated by straight white men. Young people realize they have a choice, other than being straight white men. A few straight white man realize that straight white man have been real jerks
Remind me again, why people claim that Republicans are good for the economy?
Philandering while married is called adultery.
Billionaires don’t create jobs. Small businesses create jobs. Billionaires buy businesses, fire staff, pull out massive funds, and dump the shell. Billionaires create jobs the same way that vampires build strong blood.
Anybody want to bet that these were the two dozen employees who had been saying all along that DOGE was screwing things up and would cause a breach?
Is adultery a job requirement for rising in the Republican Party?
Sadly, true. That’s why I’m not sending any money to the DNC.
The government officials who built it illegally should be forced to pay out-of-pocket.
So she is actually saying that bike lanes increase property values? Don’t the Republicans support that?
What are the odds that he faked the gouge in order to not pay the contractor?
I’m sure they are afraid that the gay sidewalk would come out again.
He might want to have a word with his vice president.
My point was that if Uber drivers are not employees, then all Uber executives should be in prison for antitrust. Maybe they should be in prison anyway
Actually, most of the capital limestone comes from Indiana. Or at least it used to.
In other words, he cheated out on his contractors and it bit back. Or is this just his excuse not to pay his contractors once again?
Where is she being interred? I have a feeling that many people will have a sudden urge to urinate.
Statements like that hide several assumptions. 1) that the rules are fair. 2) that the lenders and the colleges were playing by the rules. Many students are in this situation because they got cheated in a rigged game.
The UN should refuse to seat the US delegation until they relent. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Not tariffs. Trump‘s completely incompetent and chaotic implementation of tariffs. This is about incompetence more than it is about the tariff percent.
Why did they need to make a deal.? If Uber drivers are not employees, then they are engaging in the largest coordinated price-fixing scheme in the history of the country. Uber should have been given two choices, unionization, or getting shut down due to antitrust.
I know exactly how this pilot will turn out. The final report will show that costs have been reduced to a statistically significant extent. It will also show that quality has been reduced, but that the difference is not statistically significant, so they will claim no difference.
And people wonder why Democrats are losing voters and donations. This fake consultant just said the quiet parts out loud.
Personally, I believe there is a God. We are not mocking God. We are mocking, silly people who believe that only their vision of God is correct, that God only speaks to them, and that they have the divine authority to enforce their vision of God‘s will on earth.
Anyone with children has noticed that when they get extremely tired, they also get manic and unable to focus. The entire point of these drugs is that they paradoxically stimulate the children from manic to focused. This is not true of every child, but for some, it is a huge help.
The most regrettable thing about this is that he probably does not have enough money to make it worth Dairy Queen suing him into oblivion.
And so it begins.
If you ever had any doubts that Trump wants this country to burn, both literally and figuratively, you have it now.
She is always upset, concerned, alarmed, or something. But then she never votes to change a damn thing. Why are we even giving her airtime with this?
If these were red states, it would be called state’s rights.
Canada could get rich on vaccine tourism. Charge a couple hundred dollars. Set up clinics in the airport.
Let’s remember that medical licensing is handled at the state level. It is time for states to step up and back physicians who prescribe appropriate vaccinations. It is time for medical organizations to create expert witness panels to defend any physician who gets attacked.
With thanks to other bsky posters who started this.
What a horrible dilemma for Trump. He is absolutely addicted to the camera, but can’t accept what the camera shows.
He is spending six times as much to criminalized the problem as it would cost to solve the problem. If that isn’t waste and abuse, I don’t know what is given that he is lying about this. Also, we can throw in fraud.
GoFundMe?
Nothing says "huge crime spree" like being so bored fighting crime that you are lazily wondering around a park picking up cigarette butts.
Keeping America safe from Doritos bags and cigarette butts.
With all due respect Mr. President.. No f***ing way.
Do you ever get the feeling that RFK Jr is one of those crazed supervillains who believe that they need to save the world...from Humans. His actions seem deliberately designed to kill as many humans as possible.
They should probably be glad that they are not associated with this year's ceremony.
When a government official in the executive branch calls someone a "crook" when they have not been convicted of any crime, that seems to violate the innocent-until-proven-guilty part of the constitution. Is that an actionable civil rights violation?
Trump should just take off his shoes and let them all kiss his feet. It would be faster and less nauseating.
Too bad the grand jury didn’t flip the tables and indict the lying federal agents. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
Clear attempt to improperly by the court. The judge should throw the whole thing out with prejudice.
Sorry to rain on your parade. To avoid liability, many restaurants may claim that every item contains every allergen. That way they cannot be sued for accidental cross-contamination. The end result will be less information available to consumers.
This is conspiracy to commit theft. In most states, that is a felony irrespective of the value of the stolen item. Lock 'em up.
YAED! Yet Another Epstein Distraction.
People do not value anything that they consider "free." Public Transportation should be affordable (cheap) but not free.
But boycotting Israel because of genocide is antisemitic and illegal in Florida. Go figure.
I have no trouble locking all of them up. Agree that we need to get to the bottom of this.
The US ranked 27th in social mobility. You have a better chance of living the American dream in France than you do in the US.
The chance of becoming a millionaire, which is not very rich these days, is estimated at about 3% if you are not inheriting your wealth.
Wow! Just, wow!
Wait, aren’t those the ones that are known to go off and kill the owner?
It will never collapse. The billionaires now on too much of it. They will guarantee that the government keeps it from collapsing.
I read somewhere that 70% of the US population agreed with the statement, “someday I will be rich.“.
You have just provided the best argument for BDS that I have ever seen. If this cannot be fixed without Israel’s permission, Israel needs to be motivated.
Do what people in other countries would dictators do. General strike.
Patel thinks he’s a wise man.
Looking back on some of the monumentally bad decisions that were made during the Spanish flu, and during both world wars, while people were speaking out against them, I think I have a much lower standard than you for what level of bad decision-making should be expected in a crisis.
This is why we cannot have masked gangs, governmental or otherwise.
So these criminals were indistinguishable from typical ICE agents. We know they were not ICE because ICE never bother with a warrant.
Agree completely. My main point was that incorrect decision are inevitable in a crisis. The critical question is whether the covid pandemic was expected bad decisions, or abnormally bad decisions. My gut feeling is that it was the former. Maybe a little better than expected.
Ignorance is not error. In previous pandemics, bad decisions were made in spite of the evidence. In the Covid pandemic bad decisions were made in spite of the evidence. How do the rates of those kinds of errors compare? That would count for different baseline levels of knowledge.
It will not bring Republican rule. The Republican Party is gone. It will bring decades of dictatorship by the Maga party.
Believing he is right about everything is called, “impaired reality testing.” It is a diagnostic indicator of mental illness.
That’s called criminal perjury. Let’s start locking agents up.
This is a very reasonable strategy. Tesla has figured out that the only people who will buy this disaster of a vehicle are absolute zealots for home. Price is no object. Similarly, the people who are not buying the truck will not buy it no matter how cheap it is
It’s nice to know that you are affluent enough to afford therapy for your son.
Looks like we have officially reached the status of “s**t hole country“
The history of every war shows on both sides many decisions that in retrospect were tactical blenders. That is the nature of reasoning under uncertainty in a crisis. A more valid question would be whether the number of errors during Covid was more than would be expected from prior pandemics.
Isn’t incorrectly calling someone a liar slander? Seems like Kamala should demand a retraction and a few hundred million dollars.
Trump has successfully removed 750,000 workers from the economy. Think about that the next time you can’t afford vegetables or house cleaning or childcare. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Privilege is fine if talking about billionaires.
How much of France did Germany get to keep at the end of WWI in the negotiated Treaty of Versailles?
Let’s deport the people we already know broke the rules, like Melania and Elon.
If Russia is not targeting civilians, then they have the worst technology and most incompetent soldiers in the history of modern warfare. Is Lavrov really trying to say, “our army is a total loser“.?
This puts a new twist on “believe her”.
I was waiting for someone to say Spaceballs
I have seen videos of supposed agents wearing ice vests who would not fit through that tube. Much less be able to crawl through it.
This has got to be the most idiotic strategy I have ever heard of. Trump thinks that Putin will be more likely to get into peace talks if he cripples Ukraine’s ability to retaliate. What a moron.! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I hope this judge has the cojones to throw DeSantis in jail when DeSantis inevitably violates this court order.
California needs to start impounding these vehicles.
So they raided his home to see if he did what Trump did? Oh the irony. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...
This is exactly what everyone predicted would happen when you equate opposition to the government of Israel with antisemitism. If he had denied Russians because of Russia’s behavior in Ukraine, what would France have said? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Academia is now like many other creative disciplines like acting or music. You do it because you love it and you hope you can make a living at it.
Go get ’em!
Isn’t that like a crime that can get you disbarred or thrown in jail?
Painting corten steel is not a simple process. Besides, most people go over the wall at night. The black paint will make no difference.
These are posted inside their personal offices, in compliance with policy. The policy does not say that nothing in your office can be visible outside your office.
Putin is now bombing the factories of American companies that are in Ukraine. These are smart munitions. This is not an accident. Trump clearly must have told Putin that he could do whatever he wanted to and the US would not interfere.

If the court rules that the deployment of the National Guard is illegal, does that eliminate sovereign immunity for this crime?
Cool!! Thanks.
Russia has no problem destroying undersea cables. This seems like a legitimate act of war. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/w...
If Texas were not already a criminal state, the Republicans would have been arrested for kidnapping.
My hope is that some judge declares these donations to Trump as unreported political donations, and makes these firms pay taxes on the value of this work, in addition to indictments for violation of election laws.
Vagrancy is much less of a crime than what the president was convicted of, but people don’t seem to find a need to remove him from Washington.
