Serious question from a lowly fish: Can the states turn the tables and stop sending $$$ to Washington?
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
I don’t know how else to say it…

Yes Old Orange Man, we're gonna use 6G technology to see what's under that perma-bandaid on your hand.
Donald Trump reminds the entire world he has no idea what 6G means

If no one watches CNN like Thin Skinned Orange Cheeto says, why is he so concerned?
Trump: I will probably be involved in the Netflix WBD deal, the people who have run CNN are a disgrace, no one watches, they're spreading poison and lies, they don't have too much money, CNN should be sold, the people running it are either corrupt or incompetent.

This is my favorite photo of Trump because he's got that "on the toilet, constipated and pushing really hard" look on this face.
Doesn't he know that its much easier to shit if you don't have an eagle on your lap?

A better interviewing approach:
Q: What would you say if the president pardoned a massive drug trafficker?
A: Uh, I'd say that's bad and tell him he shouldn't do it.
Q: Well, the president just did exactly that. The guy's name is Juan Orlando Hernandez. Here's a handout with his rap sheet.

SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I don't know the details. Happy to look into it. I can't speak to it
Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it?

It's like the Matrix Revolutions except the main plot involves blue printer toner cartridges getting revenge against people who pronounce "cyan" incorrectly.

While everyone correctly notes people getting thrown under the bus here, I'd just like to point out that Leavitt probably has no clue what "kinetic" means.
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

What is Jared Kushner's job in the administration?
I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.
