GUT PUNCH

It happens in the mind
The stomach gets it first,
Before processing has time,
The waves of nausea burst.
Queasy knowing yells,
Silence still prevails,
Speechless it reveals,
How deeply this thing feels.

He is humiliated by this photo, narcissists do not handle humiliation well. He'll get worse, or weaker.

because red states want the benefit of the low wage labor of immigrants, especially undocumented who work for very little and live in fear, they also want to undermine the economy in blue cities and traumatize everyone

Immature, fatuous, full of herself, not of strong character, way far out of her league heading CBS, but she has Palantir, Harlan Crow, and who knows who else, supporting her.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

I don't think this man is corrupt. To be taken seriously he needs to improve his website and be transparent about who is involved in setting this up. Most of us have tried so many things to get relief, short of getting addicted, we've learned our lessons. He must know that.

Of course it's going to get worse, no one, and nothing, is stopping this, when it ends it won't stop on a dime, inertia will drag it out, fringe that refuse to give up and will persist.

Terrible for this boy and his family. Does this mean there is a way to track the people ICE has abducted?

Trump approved the import of Russian soybeans. US farmers are paid not to grow soybeans, make sense of that.

Once she is in they will have to be forced to vote to release all of the Epstein materials. But wait, there's a government shutdown, so that vote will have to wait.😠

I saw the videos, didn't watch. I don't need convincing, pain management has never been adequate, the 20 years the Sacklers profited made it worse.There is no relief, often no recognition, it is invisible to most people. The website needs information about the founders and what they are doing.
