Of course, Scared to death of a girl
BREAKING:
writes, "I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. “Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will. There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!”

That was a weird tweet from the official account. Funny as hell, but doesn’t that kind of thing usually come from Biden HQ or something?

The American Right is a lot of big talking inheritor class mooks buoyed along by flatterers, chisellers, and the white trash and their shitbox churches.
The Hur report says it all. Picked up as fact by a wholly owned corporate media, all run by white men that will buy themselves a new boat with another tax cut from Uncle Fascism.

“Trump: One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, Well, sir, if we don’t pay and were attacked by Russia, will you protect us?”
You know this is BS because of the “sir.” And what “big country” would sound like Oliver Twist begging for more gruel?
And yet: a) his cult eats it up; and b) he’s probably serious about letting Europe fend for itself.
Nice world you have here. Shame if something should happen to it.
P.S. I gasped when I saw the Kennedy ad. I’ll bet Caroline is PISSED.

Am I mistaken that the press is fixing or allowing others to fix Trump’s stupidity on NATO to everyone needs to spend 2% rather than what he means is that everyone needs to pay into some non-existent fund? Or that they are in arrears on the NATO funding when they are not?

Just wondering: how many NATO countries have Presidents instead of Prime Ministers?
I already know the answer to my other question, which was "how many leaders of NATO countries preface a question with a deferential “Well, Sir…” I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $1000.

Georgetown University historian Thomas Zimmer argues that the right wing keeps fantasizing about secession and civil war because it will not accept pluralism under any circumstances
Well geez dudes you’re just gonna have to face up to the fact that you’re not Masters of the Universe. If God only wanted people to come in one color and two genders then he wouldn’t have invented science.
