Opinions about football (YNWA), golf, the entertainment industry, marketing (maybe) and the world at large are awesome. Unless you disagree. I love dogs too.
This is one lie that doesn't fit the repetition strategy. The more you tell it, the more obvious it's a lie. Not even the staunchest believers can deny they can't buy as much now

An unrelenting disgrace
When asked on Air Force One if there was anything "incriminating" in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger at the female reporter's face and said “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

the thing about this is that a) small states do not have any interests that are inherent to their size (no less than james madison understood this) b) the senate is organized along party lines which makes the small/big distinction almost irrelevant and c) the filibuster has never been used this way
Underrated aspect of killing the filibuster is making pundit hacks at Cook Political p-p-p-piss their pants

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

He's lost the shutdown fight, but wants to starve kids anyway.

They're making things worse
Trump and Noem plan to unleash their out of control, violent goons on the streets on a night usually reserved for families trick-or-treating. This wasn't a concern for parents this time a year ago.

'They are making things worse' could be simple, consistent and broadly applicable messaging for opposition.

Where do I send my think tank messaging strategy invoice???

Why is he so afraid to disagree with Reagan on tariffs?
Trump: "Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. He used them sparingly, which he probably made a mistake on that ... trade wasn't his strong suit ... Canada shouldn't have done it ... I don't know when [the new tariff] is gonna kick in. We'll see. But I really don't want to discuss it."

Shameless liars amongst other flaws. And just so weird

A question for all reporters speaking to the Regime: "Are you lying or are you misinformed?"
Mike Johnson’s Bible apparently has Jesus encouraging lying as often as possible as the pathway to heaven. Must be a Trump Bible.
