OMFG — you DO NOT HAVE TO DISCLOSE MEDICAL RECORDS!

Trump did not but now you think Biden should?

The media is doing a shit job.

Presidents do NOT have to disclose medical records. It doesn’t matter what idiot journalists think.

Another reminder of the first time Trump ran: he ran on fixing the healthcare system, of respecting LGBTQ+, of making America great again.

He ran on platitudes.

His inaugural speech, however, focused on an America that was a Mad Max dystopia.

Many years ago (decades?) I read a comment by a historian who said that you can trace conservative positions to the that of the loyalists to King George: that they believe a monarchy is the best form of government.

I thought that a particularly dark way of looking at things. Sure, Nixon was called King Richard, but surely he really wasn’t yearning to be king?

Oh, who are these people?

Secret Service. I bullshit you not.

I WAS going to post about RFK Jr eating dog (which, tbf, doesn’t bother me more than eating cow as I’m vegetarian and they BOTH bother me — but I digress). So I clicked on a little link in a Yahoo story, figuring it would be COMPLETELY unrelated.

It was the Vanity Fair article. It was like opening a drawer expecting to find 20 year old Whataburger receipts and instead finding the Dead Sea Scrolls (okay, maybe a LITTLE over the top).

My eyes did that cartoon thing.

And no, it’s not complicated. You do not gain more money but cutting taxes and jobs.

The trend line for Carter WAS STILL HIGHER than Reagan. You can’t cover Reagan’s mismanagement with bullshit.

“The Last of Us”: Cordyceps flavored gummies (for real). What could go wrong?

A lot, actually.

Nah, that wouldn’t EVER happen…

I mean, sure, they aren’t exactly rocket scientists, but seriously, they do get Sesame Street in Louisiana, right?

But “Ten Commandments” that are not ten?

Just how stupid are they?

Oh, you poor dear, who pooped in your Wheaties?

“Valentina Gomez, who previously caused outrage for urging voters not to be ‘weak and gay,’ accused the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. of being the ‘most wretched’ holiday and that Black people should no longer be seeking reparations.”

And she is so eloquent 🙄

“Michigan Republican primary congressional candidate Anthony Hudson wildly backtracked after initially apologizing for a video shared on his TikTok account in which he was endorsed by an AI-enhanced voice that sounded like civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.”

“The job is simply this, so we trust and believe and respect the decision of the Supreme Court. What we need to focus on, Jon, is the violence that we’re seeing across this nation. Under Joe Biden, we’ve seen the greatest increase in violent crime in my lifetime. So focusing on ways for us to reduce that”

“Star Wars Outlaws' creative director has responded to some of the negative feedback shared about the open-world game after hands-on previews were posted online, reassuring fans that ‘just a part’ of it was represented in the demo.”

Dude, the hate isn’t about the game (it hasn’t even been released) it’s about the protagonist being a woman who isn’t flashing nips.

They don’t care about your game. They just want women to be subordinate, not heroes.

“An appellate court has ruled that Texas cannot ban books from libraries simply because they mention “butt and fart” and other content which some state officials may dislike.”

You know Texas is making dumb decisions when even the FIFTH says, “Look, I may be just a country, I mean country, lawyer, but that’s just too dumb.”

Except “ overwhelmingly conservative appellate court ordered eight of the 17 books” returned.

They’re still dumb.

Just when you thought the illiterati couldn’t do anything MORE stupid, they say, “Here, hold my beer…”

Not did she say he was Hitler. She said we don’t have to fight to protect democracy.

Ben Shapiro DID compare Trump to Hitler, however, and seemed to indicate that Trump wants to eliminate Democracy.

His Tweet was not the flex he thinks it was.

Fair. Being a “billionaire” doesn’t protect you if you break the law.
