“But the reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys. They tell edgy, offensive jokes. We're not going to allow the worst moment in a 21-year-old group chat to ruin a kid's life for the rest of time. That's just not okay." Vance accused Politico's report of "canceling kids."

For the life of me I do not know how I was ever able to get to school by 8:00, study eight subjects, get 45 minutes of exercise, speak a foreign language for a bit, deal with school drama, find my way home, study some more, then read an entire book for fun like whose brain was that?

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

Here’s your reminder that Argentina’s President is a Libertarian who, despite his Libertarian claims of “pulling Argentina up by its own bootstraps”, begged for and is getting $40B in socialism for American taxpayers because libertarianism doesn’t actually f*cking work.
