The cartels could actually make money by simply becoming ICE agents to get that $50k signon bonus & bunch of free guns and ready access to a whole bunch of ICE agents but who am I to tell anyone how to do their business

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Drug cartels have "disseminated a structured bounty program to incentivize violence against federal personnel," according to a press release from DHS.

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."

We also have doors in the middle of the bus that people load through.

People will take 2 steps onto the bus and STOP. It's aggravating as heck.

Certain topics or statements you make regarding politics, you expect pushback so you go in prepared.

It's the motherfuckers showing up to fight you over your favorite vegetable that get under my skin.

Which country is his?

Publius Maximus @publiusmaximus.bsky.social · 1h

I can see how it might. But the drivers I've seen do this in person are usually annoyed that there's a clump of people by the doors not letting anyone past them to the open areas.

Who would have thought that 25 times as many people would be getting their daily news updates from a Boston College history professor (Heather Cox Richardson, who has 2.5 million subscribers) than from the Washington Post.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.
