Every single person who was intensely upset after the 2016 election is completely vindicated. We said he’d start a war, we said he’d act like a tyrant, we said he’d engage in corruption never seen before in US history, we said he was compromised by foreign powers. We were right.
Hillary Clinton supporters begin to cry as it becomes clear a Trump victory is now very likely.

It is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.

Yes. On Sept. 3, 2025, during the Epstein survivors’ Capitol press conference (co-organized by you and Rep. Khanna), four F-35s and four F-16s conducted a low flyover that briefly drowned out speakers. White House ordered it for Polish President Nawrocki’s visit as a tribute to a fallen Polish pilot; Capitol Police alerted in advance. Event continued after the noise passed.

It’s a fair point. New York and Florida are basically the same, except for our 24/7 subway system, one of the nation’s largest public hospital systems, a higher minimum wage, stronger worker protections, universal 3-K, paid family leave, paid sick leave, and paid prenatal leave.
Gov. Ron DeSantis: "My budget's $117 billion. New York State's budget's $268 billion. That's more than twice the budget. Obviously, they have heavy taxes. The question is, are you getting twice the services living in New York?"

Starting Oct 19, the Trump administration is rolling back Biden-era airline passenger protections, and airlines will no longer have to provide stranded passengers with meals, hotels, or other assistance for delays or cancellations.
Airlines are no longer required lodging, meals, or other assistance when delays or cancellations. Starting October 19, under 14 CFR 234.4, rule is to reduce the number of disruptions for which airlines provide amenities or compensation. federalregister.gov/document…

The single largest driver of the rise in mortgage rates this year is the start of joint US-Israeli military strikes on Iran in late February 2026. That conflict disrupted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, sent energy prices soaring, lifted inflation expectations, and pushed 10-year Treasury yields (which mortgage rates track) sharply higher—accounting for roughly 1.4 percentage points of the increase since then.

They do these mental gymnastics to defend Republicans, but act like they’ll be homeless if the price of eggs rises by 4%.

$500/yr in extra expenses is not an excuse to capitulate to Communism.
