GOP 2026: NO YOU ARE
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean
TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting
Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?
TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

Respect is a two-way street. He deserves none because he shows none. Be the confrontational asshole he is.
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

Another exhibit for my case that MAGA is a religion and Trump is their god.
America is really terrifying. Is it a cult or a collective psychosis? I don’t know but that couple would rather follow Trump than their own family. That same guy involved in a coup attempt and in the Epstein files.

I’m reminded of Tilda Swinton’s character in Michael Clayton.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

Look, he just really liked fajitas, OK?
I remember seeing a story years ago where a prison cook was caught having stolen $1.2 million of fajitas over 9 years.
One week he took off sick, someone else answered the order call and was like "what are you talking about? We don't serve fajitas."

Is she categorically right and absolutely entitled to her rage, her resignation, and her telling that useless prick Cernovich to go shit in his hat? Yes. And I will cheer that on.

With all the hullabaloo over the Democratic members of Congress who reminded military members that they can and should refuse illegal orders, the Epstein files have somewhat faded from our attention—and the media’s. That was probably Trump’s goal. We owe it to the victims not to forget.
