The word Jew-ish is clearly foreign mouth.

Markwayne Mullin: "I even met with some Jewish leaders in Oklahoma City and it was amazing because I walked in and they just wanted to hug and say 'thank you.' And one of them even said, 'I don't understand why so many Jewish communities vote Democrat.'"

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

I have never understood "an historic" rather than "a". The OED has citations for it from 1645 and 1763, but only offers the h-ful pronunciation—it's not like "hors d'oeuvre" or other words that have always/sometimes silent h's.

Do we have evidence (besides those cites) that it was silent once?

Jesse Elin Browne @jesseelinbrowne.bsky.social · 11h

A singular hors d'oeuvre is still "an hors d'oeuvre".

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

Teapot Dome scandal? Watergate? These are minuscule compared to what's uncovered every week with Trump. And just imagine what we haven't yet learned. Release the Epstein Files. Impeach and remove. Now.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
