Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Screenshot of an X post by Dan Scavino reading, “Happening Now in the Oval Office at the @WhiteHouse. God Bless the USA!” with prayer, heart, U.S. flag, and eagle emojis. Below is a photo inside the Oval Office showing Donald Trump seated at the Resolute Desk while a large group of men in suits stand around him in a circle with heads bowed and hands extended in prayer. American flags, gold drapes, and framed portraits are visible in the room.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
The questions in this Q&A were direct. The answers were the most bland corporate-speak. If Target wants to win back angry customers, tip-toeing around difficult issues is a mismatched strategy.
Join my new predictive market platform Douchero to place a wager on which one of these guys gets caught with CSAM first.
This is why journalists should not be friends with the people they cover. It‘s embarrassing for all concerned.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership
ONLY ONE OF THESE ENTITIES IS GOOD.
I'm old enough to remember when JD Vance wrote that "mathematical realities" meant that America had to conserve its Patriot stocks in case China invaded Taiwan.
People are making fun of this but at the end they open mouth kiss and it's actually kind of beautiful. They're clearly doing hand stuff too but they don't show it.

Elon’s PAC community noted on his own site for lying about Talarico, cutting off half the quote 🤥
It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.
it’s cool, at least this war will accomplish nothing and make the world worse for everyone
Two headlines, both from this morning:
After remaining silent for almost a year about the U.S. measles outbreak, NIH/CDC poseur Jay Bhattacharya is now recommending measles vaccines.
And this is where he gets to see the impact of the destruction of trust in public health and vaccines, for which he is partially responsible.
Never forget
So billions will be spent and lives will be lost for nothing?
As a reminder ... rapture Annihilationism theology is incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is not careful, caring, or considerate of creation.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Periodic reminder: Since Trump was re-elected, @forbes.com estimates—
💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion
💰Eric’s has increased tenfold, to $400 million
💰Don Jr.’s has increased sixfold, to $300 million
💰19-year-old Barron Trump is worth $150 million
Don’t forget the abandonment of DEI practices after Trump’s re-election that led to a massive boycott led by Black churches. They’ve alienated pretty much everyone who might shop there.
