Nearly 20% of Americans Believe Taylor Swift Is Part of “a Covert Government Effort” to Reelect Joe Biden | https://www.vanityfair.com/news/nearly-20-of-americans-think-taylor-swift-is-part-of-a-covert-government-effort-to-reelect-joe-biden

Putin, lately:
“Alaska is ours, we’re putting nukes in space, and I murdered Navalny.”

“Look at Tucker’s yummy groceries!”

It’s important to say what the court found Trump did. He didn’t just “manipulate his net worth.”

He deliberately falsified business records. He deliberately falsified financial statements.

He committed these frauds again and again, for many years.

I keep seeing think pieces about how the US elections will be protected from foreign interference.

Babes, Trump and his family cannot afford to lose the election. Literally. They have to win.

They will throw every single thing at winning, legal or not. The call isn’t just coming from inside the house, the call is going to burn the house down on purpose.

129) Cash is getting a little tight in #Trump world. Apparently inflating one’s net worth to the size of a bull frog is not a winning business strategy.

The #Engoron ruling requires the posting of a bond or actual cash within 30 days.

Given the former president’s has filched much of the cash from those foolish enough to donate his collection of PACs, I imagine his current crop of attorneys must be wondering if they’ll be paid

I hoped it wouldn’t come to this, and I knew Putin would most likely kill Navalny….. sad about it.

House Republicans want to return Arizona to a “pre-1991” voting system in which the vast majority of voters must cast their ballot in person on Election Day - though the move to no-excuses early voting was ushered into existence in 1991 by state Republicans.

What I'm saying is: a hot, fresh bratwurst in a nice, soft bun placed in my hand is a clear declaration of intent to love.

"There’s no 'crisis in higher education'; there’s just a crisis of New York Times writers with daddy issues and anxiety over what the end of legacy admissions could mean for their children’s college prospects" https://www.thecrimson.com/column/a-school-outside-boston/article/2024/2/13/sperling-milner-new-york-times/

Senator Blumenthal claims he's fixed KOSA. He's lying. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/02/15/senator-blumenthal-pretends-to-fix-kosa-its-a-lie/

Revamping my vocabulary. Instead of:

"goodbye" -> "stay hydrated!"

Alright, it's been fun! Stay hydrated everyone! Tell Uncle Roy I said "stay hydrated" when he wakes up from his nap!

You know what leader has absolute immunity from the law?
Putin.
That's what Trump wants.

RusNews journalist Yulia Petrova was detained by police while covering a rally in memory of Alexei Navalny in Moscow

The security forces demanded that Yulia present her documents and turn off the camera.

That would actually be the deep state. The federal government of the US is huge and its mostly the elected / appointed ones at the tippy top that are racist white bigots controlled by even racistiet whiteier plutocrats.

This is why a big chunk of the Heritage Society’s Project 2025 is to fire all those deep state non-partisans and replace them with Jesus-fearing MAGA loyalist white bigots, because the non-partisan employees aren’t white enough or bigoted enough.
