That will work, sure.
I gotta think that the behind-the-scenes conversations involve spittle-flecked screeching and launching of projectiles. With any luck, this shit will kill him.

While this will have minimal effect on the self-insured for now, it will be huge on Nedicare and CHIP kids.
Today’s vote on Hep B will be more disastrous.

People keep trying to compare Trump to 20th century dictators like Hitler or Stalin. They’re wrong. He’s much more like Caligula.
The depravity has only just begun. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Tomorrow at midnight, we close the books on the first official fundraising deadline of this campaign.
When it ends, we’re legally required to report what we’ve raised. We’ll make the number of donations we’ve received public as well.
Folks - this is when we need you most. A poll shows us at 48%, we are getting outspent, and voting happens in two weeks. So we’re asking:
$3 to help us file a report with a huge number of individual donations.
$3 because a big report will send a powerful message to Republicans who want to redistrict in other states that there is a price to pay for moving forward.
$3 because voting starts in two weeks and this is money we need to raise to WIN.
When this campaign started, we didn’t want to have to send a million fundraising emails. But this is what we need to win. And God help us if we don’t… it will be almost impossible to take back the House for years.

Hands-free firings through greedy CEOs
Regulators say ‘Yes’
If these Orgs acquiesce

Youse guys I’m here a lot, but somehow I failed to notice that until 9/10 that the current WH had a saint in waiting in their pocket.
Yes I had heard about Charlie and Turning Point, but I somehow failed to notice that he was the second coming of Christ. Somehow I missed how Kirk turned water into whine, that he fed multitudes with one fish and one loaf of bread. I’ve also have failed to realize that hagiography is alive and well.
Why didn’t ya’ll point this out?

Almost immediately, as if there was a contingency plan.
TLDR
-
After conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was killed on Sept. 10, a website that targeted people who criticized or mocked his death went online.
-
The first alt-tech platform users to promote this site were groups of right-wing extremists, raising questions about the site’s origins and the intentions of its operators.

So, if you’re the prosecutor, and you think you might ever want a career outside government at, say, much higher pay, your choice is to
- File joke charges that everyone knows are jokes, and get laughed out the room by the grand jury, showing you’re either stupid or a clown, or
- Get fired by TSFF for not being stupid and for having integrity.
Decisions, decisions.
When you do get fired, you’ll probably get a good job offer within the hour.
