Numbers aren't words duh.

Imagine you're on a mission to kill your ex, and you just harass them until they call the cops and you know the cops will kill them for you.

He hasn't been kicked out because it's all part of the grift. When Musk leaves Mar-a-lago in mid January to stalk trump up to Washington he's going to be pretty shocked when he gets an itemized bill for his entire stay at the highest tier prices.

Trump had to reward two of his biggest bootlickers with plum jobs but didn't want them to have actual government positions, so his team came up with this. They'll make recommendations that are already in the planbook and if the courts block all their nonsense they can throw them under the bus as a distraction.

Because Gaetz is her bestie and she knows he's in danger of not getting the votes to get confirmed. The hardcore trumpists will absolutely use blackmail to get what they want. And they don't want to lose face by having a trump pick get defeated early on. But yeah, she should have leaned on them privately, not in public. She's not the smartest.

In a letter sent Tuesday, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham notified Trump she had purchased a 1,402-acre ranch along the U.S.-Mexico border, about 35 miles west of McAllen. She also assured him that her office would work with federal agencies to construct a detention center.

This wasn't just empty land sitting around that Texas already owned, she purchased it specifically to give to trump so he could build a concentration camp. Is she the world's biggest brown noser trying to get a pat on the head from trump, or is she a deranged fascist who gets off on ruining lives? Maybe both?

Well, for one Lemmy has zero respect for privacy. You can't even delete a comment. A comment is eternal. At least you can do that on reddit.

Do you remember when Obama was asleep at the wheel (as usual) and the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? How this guy managed to get reelected always mystifies me.

"For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see. Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews. But not just those, there's more, Epstein wasn't/isn't the only asset. If we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. I'll make sure we do," the lawmaker said in a post on X.

Interesting, she's going the Madison Crawthorn route. Remember what happened to him? They dished up all the dirt they could find on him and hung him out to dry. This sounds noble of her, but she's using this as a threat to try to force them not to go after Gaetz, her pedophile buddy.

People in Congress already hate his guts, this will give them an objective reason to vote him down without drawing the wrath of trump. I mean he'll fume about it, but most normal congress people aren't going to stick their necks out for a proven pedophile.

I approve of all this content painting Musk as an invasive little brat who has no boundaries and is desperate to try to buy his way into the cool kids inner circle. Notice me, senpai!

Even the oil companies admit the climate is changing, they just refuse to take responsibility. These clowns are in straight up denial mode. Just pretend the hurricanes aren't there and disregard your thermometers. It will all be fine. Oops, ignore that forest fire... it's, uh, just an illusion.
