🎵The answer to it all ain't military datum
Like who gets there firstest with the mostest atoms
No, the people of the world must decide their fate
They gotta get together or disintegrate...
I hold this truth to be self-evident
That all men may be cremated equal☢️🎵

Q: What prompted you to announce you're resuming nuclear testing right before the meeting with Xi?

TRUMP: They seem to all be nuclear testing. We have more nuclear weapons than anybody. We don't do testing. We halted it many years ago, but w/ others doing testing I think it's appropriate we do also

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

America is irregular. We're backed up. A properly functioning digestive system would have shit out these self-enriching turds a long time ago.

“Very irregular! 🧐

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she has yet to understand all the details surrounding the possible payout to Trump but called the arrangement "very irregular."

It's both exciting and confusing to see how large the Fallout IP has grown. A videogame franchise (now TV show) about rebuilding society in the ashes of global nuclear annihilation has promotional connection to a semi-professional hockey team? The World of Fallout Exhibit sounds awesome though.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

“I know people ain’t smart and often love those who don’t care for them. Up to a point, I’m tolerant of that, and past a point I’m not tolerant of it. I think it’s a sickness to grieve too much for those who never cared a thing for you.” - McMurtry, Lonesome Dove
