Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

BREAKING: Judges Rao and Walker — both Trump appointees — issue an "administrative stay" blocking Judge Boasberg's contempt proceedings set to begin on Monday.
The administrative stay is issued over the objection of Judge Childs, a Biden appointee.

Actually, we knew this already because we saw him not care about a million U.S. Covid deaths.

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with BDSM among consenting adults with safewords. Fun times for all!
However, if one person does not consent - it should all stop.
And with children, this is obscene rape.
And yes, they likely used the "equipment" when raping/violating children.

Imagine someone doing those hard-core BDSM things to someone who’s unwilling, without a safe word, without knowledge of what to expect AND a child. Let's say there are no boundaires and the person doing those activities doesn’t care if that child survives the session or not.
THAT is worse.

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Vomit inducing: House Oversight Committee have released photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate Friday including a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face. Each condom bears Trump’s face with the text, “I’m HUUUUGE!” Did Epstein hand these out to men having sex with children?!
