Just another Republican defending and justifying pedos.

Follow up question. Do you think people calling for the release of them will still call for the release of them?

It's been over 10 years since Trump descended his golden escalator. It's been over 10 years since Hillary's "basket of deplorables" comment.

Yesterday, Trump told a journalist, "I don't know who the hell you are, but you better be careful," and explicitly told The Independent's Andrew Feinberg, "Quiet. Quiet! What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you."

Immediately following the event, the official Trump Rapid Response Team account on X took the President's vitriol further. They posted an official statement declaring that the President "absolutely roasts Mongoloid Moron AndrewFeinberg for his disgraceful behavior."

I didn't know what the word "Mongoloid" meant, so I had to look it up. It's disgusting.

This is a list of the things that the elected President of the United States has said to female reporters.

• "Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?" - Nancy Cordes (CBS)
• "Third-rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out." — Katie Rogers (The New York Times)
• "I don't think I've ever seen you smile." — Kaitlan Collins (CNN)
• "Stupid and Nasty." — Kaitlan Collins (CNN)
• "Most obnoxious reporter in the whole place... a terrible — actually a terrible reporter." — Rachel Scott (ABC News)
• "Quiet, piggy." — Catherine Lucey (Bloomberg)

Has it been too long? What does it say about people who cheer for this kind of behavior from a president?

Will Americans change anything in November?

They're always making comments about Democrats being the party of slavery as if nothing has changed since 1861. Are they really that uneducated?

We all know that student loan interest disproportionately impacts people from lower income backgrounds. But there’s a lot of public pushback against forgiveness, and for decent reason. People who either never went to college, or paid off their loans in full, feel that they shouldn’t have to pay more taxes to offset student loan forgiveness.

So why not instead just wipe out all interest from both the past and future? That way it’s no longer predatory. You get an interest free loan from the government. You borrow $100k? You pay back $100k, not a penny more.

Sure, that’s still not free market, but it’s also not a big subsidy - the government doesn’t need to turn a profit off student loans.

I think this could be the happy medium to give a lot of people the relief that they need from crippling student loans without adding too much extra burden to taxpayers that wouldn’t benefit from forgiveness.

Thoughts?

Seriously, this would be a marketing goldmine for Depends.

I read this NYT article this morning:

"A Billionaire Wanted a Trump Pardon. His Family Gave Alina Habba a $50 Million Deal: Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job."

Why do Trump supporters and Republicans not care one bit that Trump's administration is the most corrupt in U.S. history?

Are Trump supporters bad people or something? Do they have no principles? No values? Are they just evil? Why do they not speak out against Trumps obvious corruption?

Some of my family members and friends are Trump supporters, they don't seem like bad people, but when the topic of Trump's corruption comes up they act like I'm speaking gibberish.

sometimes i wonder what humanity would look like by now if we’d stopped believing in religion after the age of enlightenment

Character matters: Bush family member rebukes Trump, breaks from GOP in key race

"More broadly, I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable.”

Acton told Ohio-based cable news outlet Spectrum News that she was removed from her birth mother “at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse.”

Local outlet WKBN has reported that her parents divorced when she was 3, and that she moved frequently with her mother, living in roughly 18 homes by age 12 and spending one winter in a campground tent.

One of my coworkers a couple days ago said that he believes the earth is flat. I wasn’t really interested in talking about it at the time, but what do you suggest I say?

The FBI also sent officers to investigate Lindsey Graham’s home. Trump signaled that they were ‘wasting their time’

(Spoiler: I do)

Melania? Rubio? Vance? Scavino? Someone else?

Anthropic alone reported 80 billion dollar loss in first half of 2026, so why would anyone want to invest in them? whats in it for the billionaires, when this company will never turn a profit.

I’m tired of spending money on things that need to be replaced, blood pressure monitor, oximeter, scale, etc. I have to get a new couch since this one is not as comfortable anymore and sinks in.

I’m sure everyone’s tired of mugs, tumblers, etc. Anyone got any good ideas?

100+ employees, would be for the company Christmas party.

And before anyone says it - yes bonuses are given

Arguments seem to suggest people think that we have an unending obligation to allow people to immigrate here because of things our ancestors kickstarted hundreds of years ago. Is it just me or is this stupid?

This is the first time in several years I've had a flu and covid shot on the same day and not felt horrible afterwards.

Just me or did this happen to anyone else?
