Chicago has a violent crime problem. But local efforts are bringing crime down. It's working. We don't need Trump using crime as a pretext to impose a military occupation on another American city. If we put an armed soldier on every U.S. block, crime might drop. But it wouldn't be a free country.

Trump on RFK Jr., the CDC, and vaccines (a translation). He seems to be saying that he was shown data about COVID19 vaccines being safe and effective, but that the pharma companies didn’t show those amazing data to anyone else, like RFK Jr. He thinks this is why there is a “mess” at CDC.

TRUTH. * Truth Details 3982 replies •• • Donald J. Trump @ ( @realDonaldTrump It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved Millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW. I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public. Why not??? They go off to the next of the Drug Companies Covid work. They show me GREAT numbers and results, but they don't seem to be showing them to many others. I want them to show them NOW, to CDC and the public, and clear up this MESS, one way or the other!!! I hope OPERATION WARP SPEED was as

Get well, Mr. Mayor. Whoever did this is dethpicable.

On the evening of August 30, 2025 after taking a wrong turn somewhere near Albuquerque, Mayor Giuliani was involved in a motor vehicle accident. He was flagged down by a giant male rabbit dressed up as an attractive female rabbit who identified themself as having witnessed a “moyder”. Mr. Giuliani remained on scene until a duck and a pig dressed as Old English bobbys arrived.Following this incident, while traveling on the highway, Mayor Giuliani drove into what he thought was a tunnel, but which turned out to be a painting on the side of a mountain. Mayor Giuliani’s vehicle was crushed into the shape of accordion bellows, which emitted musical notes as they expanded and contracted . A flattened Mr. Guilini waddled free from beneath the wreckage, his enlarged teeth emerging from his mouth in the shape of piano keys.HIs business partner was promptly contacted, and he was admitted to Acme Looniversity Hospital, curiously under the care of the same rabbit he encountered earlier.That’s all, folks.F.

I am against banks' policies that allow subscription services to continue when a card expires and a new card is issued with a new expiration date. I am glad you got satisfaction in your case.

We got no help, no refund, and our bank's solution was that we have a new card # issued to prevent future charges. We do not know why our card was used for Google cloud storage as we could not reach anyone at Google to tell us if it was associated with one of her Google accounts.

As opposed to his now suffering significant medical issues from his horrible diet choices and lack of real exercise finally catching up with him? I want to believe that what I have been praying for is finally coming true, but it seems too good to be true. I don't want to get my hopes up.

What's the chance that trump doesn't want to come out of hiding because he's sad his tariff strategy a total shitshow, his deportation effort's receiving significant pushback, his approval ratings are in the toilet, and everyone's onto his being a russian agent? ...

Hate to say it but the future of shopping is not “tell an AI agent what you want and it figures out and buys it for you from a shady site that ships the wrong thing” It’s “use a trusted app/site with great customer support that has the largest selection of goods and ships today”

I've been making of list of his White House gift shop and trucker cap museum hat slogans. Some are quite bizarre and quite disturbing. After viewing the post below, click here bsky.app/profile/stev... then click the "quotes" link to see more.

What is the frustration exactly? That they can't tase more people or beat more people with batons? They're already lawless, uncontrollable, and unaccountable. What more could they want?

Hard to see the videos we've seen of these droogs being their worst selves chasing, brutalizing, and capturing people in public and not conclude that they love their role as America's secret state police (Gestapo). I hope they grow a conscience someday and get PTSD. 🖕

Interesting speculation. Fun to think that he's finally experiencing some unpleasantness in his life. Couldn't happen to a more deserving sack of shit. Hope it's nothing trivial. Should be an interesting week. 😀

1/31 I believe there is growing evidence, that the White House is covering up the fact that Donald Trump has been dealing with TIA strokes. AND that he likely had a more significant ischemic stroke this week.
