    lmao.. let’s talk about dumbfuck’s “winner”:

    Sinema’s campaign organization has not raised any money in the last two quarters since she announced her departure from the Senate, but fundraising from past years has left her with nearly $5 million in cash.

    That has given her campaign plenty of money for a globe-spanning spending spree.

    The expenses, according to the CREW complaint, include trips to various locations spread across several months that include:

    $15,000 of spending in California and Colorado over the summer in locations that included Three Sticks Wines, a winery where Sinema has both interned and courted private equity donors

    $82,000 in a grab bag of travel expenses this year that include $3,600 in the United Kingdom and $5,400 in France, including $2,800 at the Castel de Très Girard in the wine region of Burgundy

    CREW said that despite “an extensive search of the public record,” it was unable to find evidence that the expenses related to official congressional duties or to campaign activities.

    There’s a lot with the Panama canal thing. Climate change has affected the amount of water available to fill it. China, during the first Trump administration built two ports immediately adjacent to the canal and uses that as leverage to get better passage rates. The US has no such leverage except economic chaos of Tariffs and sanctions.

You’re all gonna die of something someday anyhow, and Elon says doing away with food inspectors will reduce deficits so he can get a big tax break on his $56 billion paycheck.

    I’d like to thank the Biden administration for confirming that there are some crimes for which capital punishment is appropriate.

    I don’t mind the 37. I think he should have done it for all 40, because by not doing so, he’s made it clear that killing a criminal is sometimes appropriate, and the only thing left to argue about is when to do it.

    I don’t think that was what he intended, but here we are.

    @19 “killing a criminal is sometimes appropriate, and the only thing left to argue about is when to do it”

    And that’s quite an argument, judging from the hundreds of death row inmates who’ve been exonerated.

    But I have no problem with executing these three terrorists. Biden did the right thing by leaving them on death row. What distinguishes them from those ex-death row inmates is (1) they’re guilty beyond any doubt, and (2) they weren’t put there by a shoddy criminal justice system or because of their race.

    Trump’s vendetta against the Innocent Central Park Five, and his attempt to make a sexual predator America’s chief law enforcement officer, highlights some of what can wrong with the justice system. And you, dumbass, vote for that shit.

His wifey poo (like half his age, heh) took over his seat in Congress as a repuke who voted Clinton’s impeachment out of Committee, remarried a Florida repuke House washout and lost her forgotten ex husband’s seat to a Dem physician.

    Harris boasts the support of the deep state, Dick Cheney, and Goldman Sachs.

    Kamala Harris won 74,999,166 votes or 48.3 percent of the votes cast. That was 6,285,500 fewer popular votes than Biden won in 2020, but 774,847 more than Trump won in 2020…

    Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020.

    So orange pants shitting il douche wants to annex Canada, take over Greenland and seize back the Panama Canal.. This is a familiar pattern:

    Mussolini infused Italian nationalism with nostalgia for Imperial Rome, thus providing a very specific framework for its quest for spazio vitale (‘living space’, or as the Germans would later call it: Lebensraum).

    By 1929, Italy already controlled Libya (marked in the same colour as Italy on this map), and was sending droves of colonists over. Outright annexation would follow a few years later. Italian control over the Mediterranean was both a means and an end of Italy’s expansionism. The ultimate goal was to recreate the Mare Nostrum – ‘Our Sea’ – of olden times: the Mediterranean as a Roman lake.

    elmo’s orange pants shitting coffee boi is unlikely to follow through as it is, just for now, a poor tv entertainer playing to sicko-phants and pfools.
