I see a lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that because Trump made another terse statement, we can only conclude that he intends to use lordly decree in order to lock Zuckerberg away for life. We still have laws and the court system hasn’t been quite entirely captured yet. Just because democrats have demonstrated they have no shame uniting to ignore the law for selfish political reasons, doesn’t mean Trump and every republican will also find this acceptable. Are we not morally better people than democrats?! I expect an examination of all the actions Zuckerberg took to “fortify” this and past elections. I expect an evaluation of these actions and a determination of which, if any of these actions, broke the law. I expect serious charges to be filed where applicable, followed by a public hearing.

What's with this photo of him where his robes are all spread out like he's posing in a bridal gown? Is that for real?

This is an ongoing concern of mine.

I KNEW it would be him!

It was an unhappy surprise for Victoria Nuland! :D May she receive many, many more.

This is the kind of behavior that makes me think certain public officials (quite a few actually) will need to be publicly executed in order to make the populous understand what's happened and prevent any recurrence of such vile and tyrannical behavior. I find this so detestable.

Yeah, it's pretty funny... except for the sad reality part.:(

I remember a gram costing about $80 in the very late 70s or very early 80s - $40 for a half gram. Then it became more like $120. It went very quickly though. I couldn't stand the come-down period and stopped using it. It wasn't worth the very brief high - like 20 minutes? If RFK Jr hadn't already been born rich, he wouldn't have altered his lifestyle with that style of dealing. By the way, I seem to recall RFK Jr getting arrested for heroin possession in his earlier years? There's a long piece on him from some years back - I think maybe it was in Vanity Fair?

Snorting coke was a very normal behavior in the 70s and early 80s. Drinking and using drugs of all kinds (somewhat judiciously) was normal - that's what "partying" is! Remember the term “partying”? Only the ultra-wealthy could afford to get dangerous about it. Typically you obtained your drugs through a friend, or a friend’s friend you felt some level of trust towards. That's a far cry from being some South American drug lord! Back then, heroin use was much less popular because you were less likely to be able to get that from a friend. It was necessary to waste most of a day traveling to the shitholiest part of some shit hole city - NYC for example - where the dealers were unpleasant people who mostly hated you. They always kept you waiting, and there was no trust to be had on either side. Sometimes you got mugged after your buy, and you came home broke and empty-handed - and sick. You can listen to Lou Reed’s song “Waiting for my Man” to get an idea of what it was like - although I notice that youtube seems to have edited out some lines such as “Hey whiteboy! Whachu doing uptown? Hey whiteboy! You chasin’ our women around?” I can’t find a version with all the original words. Buying heroin was hard work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yPXBjVYLYA Heroin and other “opiodes” became much more common as soon as Obama opened up the southern border allowing all the drug lords in to set up shops all over the country. Around 2012, you no longer had to travel to a shithole to get heroin, you could just text a local dealer and meet him in the 7/11 parking lot. At that same time, the same people also started poisoning everything with fentanyl (without warning customers about it) - and that’s when overdoses skyrocketed. Remember the early comments about how - all of the sudden - it was mostly local white kids ODing? That may've been by design.

You don't need to. If you've ever heard snippets of any of his speeches, you've already heard every thing he said in this one ... Jan 6, insurrection, no place for political violence ever!, people coming out of the woods with torches and bulging neck veins saying nazi things, and the KKK, a young woman died, Trump said fine people on both sides (claims this is the only reason he ran), Trump is always lying, Trump is in it for himself, everything is Trump's fault, Biden fixed everything Trump ruined, everything is great now, inflation down, crime down, illegal immigration down, (everything cut by 50%!) they built tons of new charging stations (it was really just 7 or 8)... and Kamala Harris was always there to cast the deciding vote (the only new thing he said, probably meant to tie himself to her like an anchor.)

Happy Birthday Ron Paul!

This is such an undeniably rational viewpoint, it shouldn't even need to be said. (I do hope Massie keeps himself safe!)

Donahue’s show was not as bad as the trash that came after him. He often had really good guests you weren’t likely to see interviewed anywhere else. In case you forgot… Phil Donahue was married to Marlo Thomas… who was the daughter of Danny Thomas… who founded St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

They did something like this for first time buyers in NJ about 25 years ago. I don’t remember the amount they promised but the catch was - once you've already been shopping around - the realtor tells you that in order to qualify, the home had to cost under $100,000. By that time, there was no such thing as a NJ home with a price tag under $100,000, unless you wanted to buy a condo or half a duplex. The cost of a real house with a small yard in NJ was already at least 20 or 30 thousand above that for an old, rather dumpy place. - A nice, but not luxurious house (old but well maintained) with small yard was probably well over $200,000. I think this is a case of making promises you know you won't have to keep. You can say anything! You make the gullible hopeful, and by the time they realize it's bullshit, your campaign is over and it doesn't matter.

They never seemed to be hiding it. They would perform like that and seemed to find it hilarious - the kind of stuff that would be featured in a yearbook. It's only in recent years they avoid ever mentioning it - I assume because they would be accused of performing in trans-face and labeled somehow bigoted or whatever.

Could that have been some sort of filter snuck-in to make him "slur/lisp" like that? He never talks like that! Odd. As soon as I heard it, I knew his opposition would hone in on it.

So... immediately plead guilty or we'll tyrannize you even worse. Disgusting. Similarities to the J6 hostages.
