But he caught the ball and then crossed the plane. Shouldnāt matter what happens after
To make it clear, a catch begins sometime in the Cretaceous period, where it dies, is covered by sediment, and slowly becomes a part of the geological strata, overtime compression and gravity, transform it into a semi-catch, which over millions of years will one day solidify into a full catch

Once again, Trump ignores the Republican states with the highest homicide rates, and instead targets blue states, blue cities, and Black leaders. Trump hasnāt threatened to bring his authoritarian spectacle to any red states. If this was truly about crime, heād start there.

the thing about the jobs report is that it clearly doesn't actually matter to people, Biden had the best jobs reports in history & people still voted him out with half the country believing that unemployment was actually at an all-time high

"The president usually has limited control over the economy, with downturns being caused by events beyond their control. In this case, however, Trumpās policies are directly responsible for job losses, rising prices, wavering confidence, and a speedrun toward what looks like stagflation."
The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

How to sound tough but do nothing: Impose tariffs on a country where we already impose sanctions. A 100% tariff on almost nothing will do almost nothing.
OK I at this point I am 100% convinced that a malicious government with sway at FIFA designed the Club World Cup trophy to be as gold as possible so Trump would keep it in the Oval Office and then filled it with listening devices. It's been there for months!

26 of the 31 states that were won by Trump last year have homicide rates higher than New York City's. Mississippi's rate is about 4 times NYC's rate. Alabama's rate is about 3 times NYC's rate. But you don't hear the Trump regime talking about crime in the GOP-run states of Mississippi and Alabama.

āThe Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.ā
I donāt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make whatās happening now look like childās play. And people are disappearing.
I was just talking about this with a friend. Russia and Qatar used those events as an opportunity to sell themselves by relaxing laws and repression, because they want people to come, where the US is doing the opposite and showcasing how violent they are / can be because they want people to leave.
Maybe ICE will finally be able to afford badges and uniforms.
Nobody said it would be easy, but Republicans found a way to cut taxes for the rich while taking away your healthcare. A story of true heroism.
