It is weird. That’s from when people were losing their minds about people telling Dems they should talk like normal people and mobs were arguing against it. You helped prove my point. Thank you!! Haha.

Let me get this straight: Trump has a plan for a new ballroom, but barely has a concept of a plan to lower the cost of health care?

He has long been TPUSA’s communications contact/spokesperson, but has taken on a more visible role in recent months.

I don't usually listen to audiobooks. I much prefer reading to listening.
But my former wife (and present best friend) recommended Benjamin Wood's reading of his 2025 novel _Seascraper_ so strongly that I gave it a try.
What a beautiful, atmospheric tale, especially in audiobook form.

I’m not saying “don’t get distracted” because if there is a consensus to call it a war crime then there could be some accountability in the near term. But let’s not forget the whole truth of what this really is.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Gavin Newsom spent the early months of Trump 2 having friendly chats with far-right extremists. He praised Steve Bannon shortly after he gave a literal Nazi salute.
Google "Newsom vetoes" for a long list of things he has fucked up for California. He's a snake and you shouldn't trust him.

You may have gripes...nobody is perfect, but Newsom has been a great governor. He's an excellent administrator, and if you want to join the circular firing squad which has destroyed progressive politics, be it on you.
