Don’t leave out Chevron. They’ve got a dog in this hunt.

Don’t leave out Chevron. They’ve got a dog in this hunt.
Because there’s all that oil infrastructure to seize. His is an Imperial Presidency.
Is self absorbed flagellation a social disease or an entry in the DSM?
Ooooo, that smacks a little too much of “hissy fit”
Hasn’t aged well at all.
I might have been a little hasty. Perhaps he was only passing out business cards. I’m sure he crossed out the part about Attorney-at-Law.
Yeah, so we’re going to put tariffs on all our exports! That’ll show them we don’t mean business. Fucking idiot thinks he holds all the cards. He can barely hold a glass of water.
Not to take up for the Times, in Trump’s orbit extortion is the highest fortified finance.
Agreed. Who is in a position to stave off disaster and what’s holding them up?
I get arguments over words and motives, but people are still dying that do not seem to be combatants. Are we missing something important here?
“Here. Let me help you with that” is not the first response I would’ve expected from a misogynistic elderly drunk. But hey, even he had a mother. Or so we’re told.
Stopping late at night to “render aid” to a DV victim by the side of the road? My first thought was that old horn dog was not rendering aid in the classic term of art.
This is Ali evidence of war crimes.
Unless, perhaps, he was the perp?
This is outrageous and needs close scrutiny. The people behind this sound like godforsaken zealots. How do we allow these shit heels to monetize industrial scale child abuse?
Because they are not seen as challenges, they have been embedded.
Trump and his punchkins are such 🐥 💩s
Sick child. Most likely willful and resistant to or without direction. Marinated in the toxic mass media bubble focused on the manipulation of public opinion. Hopefully Minnesota can reflect on how best to prevent the next mass murder/suicide. Once they’re beyond the blaming and arguments.
Oh good.”Man-on-the-Street” democracy. Explains a lot about these idiots. Next we can blow up Healthcare since we can do “Next door Neighbor Neurosurgery”. Vaccines, pharmaceuticals? Don’t need that. “I Gotta Friend who Sez” is there for you. Education? Just “Ask Gramma”. Please make it go away

The growth and interaction between communities has a variety of outcomes, one of the most productive being trade. Continued collective existence results in growth and complexity. We develop money. What we have named Capitalism is a rules based system that creates currency to facilitate trade.
No one place on the planet has an abundance of all resources needed to sustain the complex social structure that is humanity. Hunter gatherers evolved from extended families into tribal communities. More complex demands led to specialized skills and transactions such as sharing and barter. 3/x
Early humans were not the top of the food chain. Survival required specialized skill sets. Communities organized around basic resources and developed technologies to create the products needed to live. Food, shelter, clothing. Then culture. Colonialism is really all about globalization. 2/x
Most people who speak with authority about our past don’t know much about the what, why, and how of our past. I’ll continue this thread 1/x Textbooks are mostly a compilation of names and dates. For a comprehensive picture of history you need context. Civilization evolves in order to
Have you checked the price for refined and powdered sugar, white flour, cinnamon, eggs and lard lately? They’re keeping the hungry masses in check. Never know when the Pedo-in-Chief might drop by. Look sharp. Semper Fry!
There was 3-4 generations of resentment among poor whites, most visibly in the “Lost Cause” narrative. “The South will rise again” was an oft repeated refrain. It was a ridiculous sentiment, but quite widespread. My sense is that’s a quiet part of what’s playing out. Absurd as that seems.
I was raised in the south. The region was eco depressed for a century after the end of the civil war. This wasn’t due to deliberate policy as much as the inherent nature of the culture. It remained primarily agrarian with a relatively small number of value added jobs. Poverty was widespread.
Yes. What I don’t think gets analysis is how the troops feel. NG is a volunteer state based reserve. It is composed of recruits who sign up as a protective guard without combat missions. They are trained and deployed in situations needing help and logistics. They do not sign up as bounty hunters.
Automatic Rifle.
Our tax dollars used as a meme, mocking our country and everything we used to think we stood for. And they pridefully accentuate their assholery every waking hour. Are we tired of all the whining yet?
All they can think of is meaningless symbolism that has no positive benefit except for giving their supporters more divisive slogans. They’d be pitiful if it didn’t cause so much harm.
Irony is not dead.
It’s becoming clearer by the day. If he didn’t blast out such outrageous nonsense, no one would care enough to show up.
What the fuck does that have to do with HHS? Or is he just bitching about finding a drop in dead carcasses to scavenge?
Dead eyes. If he ever had a soul it has long since been sold or thrown away.
Does this include variants such as: No, Off, You, Him, Everybody, et al? Asking for a friend.
It got all 7 circles. Bingo!
This is more like Nero fiddling than Washington crosses the Delaware.
Indeed, but the Hill has always been a little fascist adjacent. Drawn more by the illusion of power than the potential of individual freedom. That’s the way the K Street world rolls. Madison Avenue recast as the Soup Nazi.
A topic on which he is uniquely qualified to speak. Will his sofa come with a coffee table for notes?
That twist in the ribs is one of the last things done before placing the finished piece in a proofing oven. To be sure, it takes a lot of strength, timing, and deft movement to get it right.
He just oozes with that LBD (little bitty dick) energy!
It would have started with a fairly large “gather” at the end of a blowpipe, likely colored glass due to color uniformity. It would have been blown into a mold with the ribbed pattern. Cooled slightly, released onto a very warm marver, then transferred to a punty for final shaping in the furnace.
You’re killing my happy talk buzz with all this history crap.
Lawyer who pretends there is such a thing as “Martial Law”. Housing costs are down because they aren’t leaving any meat on that bone.
It’s likely only available on his Blueberry.
He doesn’t like to be constrained. He works in the margins when nobody is around, playing people off each other, telling whatever is needed to get to yes. It doesn’t matter what he agrees to, he’s going to do what’s best for him.
Yeah, and who wants to see their president get p-grabbed by a runt on live TV?
We’re being invaded by deputized thugs under the protection of our law breaking President and “his” Department of Justice.
Nor does he feel bound to meeting obligations of agreements he doesn’t like.
LASD the hotbed of radicalism? Sure.
Taxpayer funded sightseeing. Perks for Jerks
You don’t call choreographing staged assassination events “real work”?
Have them walk the halls of Congress where real crime occurs every day they’re in session.
Finally we get a peak at the MAGA business model.
Show Trial of the Century. I’m betting Eric is heading up ticket sales.
Yeah. Never know when you might have to bust a citizen, too.
We have finally achieved the ultimate goal of Technology Bros. NOT the Singularity. Rather the Artificialarity! Fake Media, created by Fake Intelligence, curated by a Fake Expert at the behest of a Fake Man to serve an audience of Fake People. Kafka is smiling 🫥
And what exactly do they expect to accomplish? Aside from the media event, of course.
And only White Bread. No doubt about it. Probably cuts off the crust, too.
The guy shills in his sleep.
Wait! Isn’t he the only one who didn’t get an invite to Epstein’s island?
More grift. God help us all. Except her of course, she’ll do that just fine.
The real truth about his tarrif infatuation. Taking money from consumers for his unbudgeted and undisclosed purposes. Think he’s paying for the Trump White House expansion? Think again. If we ever get rid of these parasites the audit will take several careers.
If ever minimum wage could be justified, it’s these otherwise unemployable pardon recipients.
Which Homeland does this action secure?
Poor Georgie. Hope he makes a lot of pen pals to help him get through his back to back judicial reckonings here and back home in Brazil.
Well, I guess we’ll have cameras in the courtroom now. But will it be an open bar? Sorry. It really sucks but I couldn’t help y.
Because he’s so easy to manipulate.
Pretty sure the timing has some correlation with Happy Hour.
Why on earth would we stoop to some common sense solution to the problem when we can just destroy people’s faith in humanity with some callous statements and strategic indifference?
And then you close your eyes and die. When the sun comes up in the morning, you are born again and free to repeat your stupid miserable existence. It’s all part of god’s plan.
Why would any sane person pay good money to access a pointless story and have their intelligence lowered ?
Planning ahead.
“his”
Yeah, on the backs of her s mopes, not the Real American greedy bastards.
Flitting from one place he’s not wanted to another. Next stop the Gaza Riviera?
You should also factor in the declining quality of journalistic content as well as the drift towards more stupid topics of discussion.
Joyce, this is Trump’s criminal defense attorney appointed to a job he either doesn’t understand or care to accomplish. Chutzpah tripled. It’s all one big happy family dedicated to the successful completion of the biggest fraud ever accomplished against a sovereign republic in modern history.
If only we could be assured he is the first of many.
Laura is too credulous to recognize when Mr. Nonsequitor is blowing smoke up her skirt with a blow torch. Is he accusing China of also not paying its workers a livable wage?
Isn’t this a version of “Taxation without Representation?” Sounds more like King George’s ministers than Alexander Hamilton.
Probably an irrational fear of just what those 37% are.
SOMEbody didn’t get the pardon he expected?
While we squander our future with pointless arguments over race and religious values.
Charter member of Weasels in American Politics.
You know it’s bad when it’s obvious even to the Nazi’s.
Perfectly clear. How could anyone believe that a lying criminal serial abuser would have anything to cover up?
Unlike, say, Jesse? Which seems so unequivocally trans for a white man.
Someone needs to tell Jon Stewart and John Oliver to move over. We have achieved Peak Absurdistan.
Could be they are just not finding the criminals and rapists at places of employment or immigration courts. Have they tried private clubs around West Palm Beach, FL? Or maybe try any number of golf courses within shouting distance.
Posture says “why am I even here?”Glaring like an insurance claims adjuster prompted to deny everything.
Waffle House
Legal citation for this absurd claim is?
metrics…fuck AI
Different metros. A mooch is a thing Mr sequence. A Bongino is an event horizon. Over and done versus a Reality TV meme.
And why do we care what Bongino thinks?
I used to buy materials at the Gardena Home Depot for repairs on my mother’s home. Never once saw any criminal activity. These guys aren’t LEO. They don’t have any immunity. They’re just deputized thugs breaking laws. That’s why they wear masks and won’t show ID. Lock them up!
Total bullshit, as usual he gets it completely back asswards. The Smoot-Hawley Tarrif act passed in 1930 resulted in retaliatory tariffs from targeted nations, reducing international trade when most needed. King Dunce claims the depression lasted another 25 years. So 1955? What a Fool believes.
“with the bill”, “copays other the” is ChatGPT gibberish…
