If something can't go on forever, it won't.

It's somewhat understandable that he doesn't know how percentages work. But the fact that either nobody tells him or he can't learn is frightening as well as embarrassing.

It doesn't "expand his authority". It unconstitutionally usurps the authority of Congress. The President cannot expand his authority by signing executive orders.

Unfortunately it's the car-brained citizenry. I think more people wanna remove the bike lanes we already have than install more.

The beauty of it is they're gonna lose their asses anyway. Milei's opponents could not ask for a greater gift than Trump's involvement.

U.S. police kill roughly 25 pet dogs a day, the majority of which pose no threat to them.

The amount of people harassed out of their jobs, suspended from this platform, etc for that piece of garbage and dear leader really dropped a “skill issue lol” on him.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Bottom right is definitely about to murder that dog sitter if s/he doesn't come across with a treat pronto.

Gillibrand isn't up again until 2030. Schumer is up in 2028, when he'll be just shy of his 78th birthday. It's possible he won't even run for reelection.

I'm sure Trump's attempt to bully Argentinian voters will work out just as well for Milei as it did for Prime Minister Poilievre.

The Land of the Free sure does have a lot of people who want to tell others what they can do on their own property.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
