Day 1 is 7 years ago. Hillary was being demonizing in 1992 and ran for president in 2016.

Biden was deporting more immigrants than Trump did in his first term WITH A WORKING GOVERNMENT. Trump can't do more with less, so to appease his base, he is targeting particular people and doing extreme things to cover up the fact that he is deporting less.

Sort of like how he called his huge middle class tax hike during his first term a tax cut. He knows his base won't actually check and will call truth tellers anti-trump liars.

They tried. Twice. Before the election. One was even a Ukraine trained sniper - which strangely doesn't get covered as much as the "got kicked out of the gun club" shooter.

Trump is deporting them back to Melissa Majoria

The market has factored in these tariffs. They haven't factored in the retaliation tariffs, since they haven't been announced yet.

I feel like there should be a name for a tariff terrorist. A tarrifist? A terofist?

Digg will be removing the comment sections below the links to focus on link content itself.

If Trump wanted a 51st state, all it would take would be a tweet.

The people of that state wouldn't object. The democrats wouldn't object. The state could be a part of the union before the end of his term. Every flag flying from now until a hypothetical 52nd state gets added, people could point and say "That 51st star - that new design - that was all president Trump." He was the reason the flag is like that - he would be remembered every time anyone in any capacity flies an American flag.

But he won't do it.

Because he hates Puerto Ricans.

A bunch of people who were expecting to be paid to vote for someone they were probably going to vote for anyways now learn it is "the democrats" blocking that payment. This will probably make them even more likely to vote out of spite AND save Musk a bunch of money. Good job?

except as a punishment for crime

"55% of all respondences opposed the takeover" = Roughly half of America is not opposed to genocide.

"I don't belong to any organized political party - I am a democrat!"

Conversion therapy for minors

Why spend money on therapy? Just wait until they are 18, then they won't be minors anymore! Unless it was a typo of miners, then yes, they need all the retraining they can get because coal mining is going away and nothing can stop it.

Is Bernie passing the torch to AOC?

Black owned businesses - you know what to do.

A top-two runoff system is considered democracy. A system where the two parties are just the same thing, like in North Korea, is not.

Americans consider their two parties as very flexible about what they stand for. If there is a big enough group not represent by the incumbent, the other parties' primary will be biased towards this group.

What we saw this time around, though, was two incumbents running against each other with no room for the non-represented group to be reflected. Thus, to that group at least, it felt like there was no difference (at least in the represtation).

Those that believed that there was no difference are now finding out how much of a difference it was - and they are now yearning for another vote to fix things.

He finally recovered from the COVID he got a week before he dropped out.

People seem to think freedom and democracy are synonymous. Places can be free, but not have democracy; places can also have democracy and not be free. When a simple majority of the voting public supports cracking down on freedoms - you will have one of the two, but you can't have both.

Biden: "I can't fire a postmaster general who actively tried to sabotage the election against me in 2020 because it would be against the law."

Trump: " I fired someone who SCOTUS directly said i can't fire because some people openly bribed me"

No, it is federal-sanctioned.

So, the question becomes: does a particular charity have a shortage of tech people working for them or a shortage of money? Which would be easier to get?
