Comments

  1. The ONN Satire on the fraternity have pledge’s volunteer at Soup Kitchens, wonder. Which one people fall for more, Onion or Dunning-Krueger Times?

  2. Lakanwal was sponsored for resettlement in the US by prominent Trump supporters. He applied for Asylum in 2024, which was granted in April 2025 by Trump’s DHS. Lakanwal’s terrorism background checks were overseen by Thomas Fugate, a 22 year old intern appointed to head counter terrorism whose only “relevant” work experience is mowing lawns

  4. Snarky

    Stephen Miller says Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal was incapable of assimilating to American culture. But a factcheck shows that Lakanwal used a gun to assault and kill multiple innocent people. Four Pinocchios.

  5. Wonder if the Afghani Teenager the CIA vetted and trained to be an assassin and grew up to he given asylum by the Trump administration had any Afghani friends who got the email in June stating the Trump Administration had rescinded Temporary Protected Status and had seven days to leave the United States?

  6. Come to think of it, not even the most useless and bloviating of liberal former attorneys blames Gabby Gifford’s shooting on the GOP these days.

    @LarryOConnor

    The rule is that we are to blame Mark Kelly’s political rhetoric for the shooting of our National Guardsmen in DC.

    This rule was created by Mark Kelly when his wife was shot in 2011 by a deranged lunatic for completely apolitical reasons. Kelly and the Democrats and the media blamed Sarah Palin, Andrew Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for the shooting.

    This is the rule. It’s HIS and his party’s rule.

    4:07 AM · Nov 28, 2025

    Hey, don’t look at me. I didn’t make the rule.

  7. Forbes has the story of the Billions and Billions of dollars Russia offered various Trump Family Members, Associates, and affiliated companies IF Ukraine accepted the Putin wish list surrender plan.

    Time for another round of trying to make Hunter relevant.

  8. Fun fact: Vermont is the US home to the largest number of Afghans, per capita.

    If we deport them, who will package and ship our maple syrup gift bottles?

    Maybe all of Biden’s Afghan immigrants hanging out around Middlebury College is why the state is no longer paying out $7,500 for people willing to move there for a job.

  9. @6

    Breitbart/Fox mouthpiece has thought connecting ‘Don’t follow Illegal orders” with daily broadcast calls for violence.

    The barrel is empty. Dumbfuck is poking holes in the bottom.

  13. Not real: Obamaphones

    Also Not Real: Trump Phones (but your $100 down is gone. Sorry MAGA. Fool me 87 times oooooooh, Trumpcoin! I want some)

  14. The rule is that we are to blame Mark Kelly’s political rhetoric for the shooting of our National Guardsmen in DC.

    This does not help you politically to justify invading peaceful American communities with disorganized mobs of soldiers.

    It helps you politically to justify continuing to commit ritual sepuku by pitting your weak, pitiful, untalented, draft dodging asses against a respected and beloved combat hero astronaut.

    Well played.

  15. @ 7

    Time for another round of trying to make Hunter relevant.

    Get back to me when Donald Trump issues pardons to his family members., mkay?

  16. For years to come, there are many people on the right… that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.

  17. @ 14

    … respected and beloved combat hero astronaut.

    John Glenn started out that way, too. Then Charles Keating dangled some serious campaign dollars …

    It might not have been so bad, but had they let Glenn slip, they would have had to let McCain slip, which would have meant that the sleaziest of the three remaining would all be Democrats.

  18. Lakanwal’s terrorism background checks were overseen by Thomas Fugate, a 22 year old intern appointed to head counter terrorism whose only “relevant” work experience is mowing lawns

    lmao.. we were told by the kreepee troll that Lakanwal was “illegal”..

    We can imagine the fever swamp backwater it swallowed that from..

    yawwwn.. another day.. another…

  19. Maybe all of Biden’s Afghan immigrants hanging out around Middlebury College is why the state is no longer paying out $7,500 for people willing to move there for a job.

    We were told by the kreepee troll that relocating Haitians or whoever to Ohio was a “disaster”, blah, blah, blah, avoidable, some sort of shit cuz’

    bbqd cats and dogs..

    Now one Afghan resettled in Bellingham goes off the rails (try supporting 5 kids on a Amazon job) and it’s time to

    deport all “teh illegals”..

    Another day.. another.. yawwwn ..

  20. Since it’s DJT47 policies that liberals blame for permitting an Afghan immigrant to remain in the country long enough to murder a young National Guardsperson and critically wound another, liberals should have no problem at all now that DJT47 i going to significantly alter immigrant policies from problematic nations.

    Beginning with adjustments to the mechanics of the Ahmed agreement.

  21. @18,
    Perfectly legal in all ways thanks entirely to Trump, MAGA, and Republicans. They brought him to the United States and put a gun in his hand.

    The shooting was supposed to have provided a useful excuse for “cracking down” and beating up more priests and children to amuse the MAGA base. Instead the troll seems intent on trying to use it to attack Senator Mark Kelly, who basically already won this fight five years ago when he whipped McSally and helped swing Arizona blue.

  22. Northwestern University has caved, to the tune of $75 million, in addition to certifying each quarter that the university is meeting the terms of the agreement.

    This follows by fewer than three months the resignation of Northwestern’s president, who rejoiced in the continuing and accelerating harassment of Jews on campus until too many people noticed.

  23. Since it’s DJT47 policies

    I’ve been blaming DJT47’s appointments, like 22 year old Thomas Fugate, and Trump’s still childish insistence on deploying National Guard into otherwise peaceful American communities to help ICE spread terror.

    I haven’t seen any “liberals” blame immigration other than that racist troll. Looks like he got himself completely drunk before noon on a holiday weekend. Yikes.

  24. @ 21

    … thanks entirely to Trump, MAGA, and Republicans. They brought him to the United States and put a gun in his hand.

    Next up: While between presidential terms Donald Trump received his C-130 pilot’s license.

  25. @ 23

    … on deploying National Guard into otherwise peaceful American communities to help ICE spread terror.

    Barring those two wayward planes in 2001, Manhattan was otherwise peaceful.

  27. @26 Rah rah pants shitter! find ‘im 12k more votes and pants shitter will do the rest..

    “When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.”..

  28. If only we stayed in Afghanistan like the troll wanted, Lakanwal would still be killing Taliban for the CIA..

    What’s nine billion a month between friends?

    Tariffs! That’s the ticket! 20 trillion! “Finish the job” orange pants shitter.

  29. @6 Larry O’Connor is a rightwing blowhard who never attended college and spewed propaganda for Breitbart. What’s your point?

  30. I blame 19% inflation during the first 10 months of the DJT47 administration, which masks a 10% decline in real spending.

    @DeItaone

    U.S. BLACK FRIDAY SALES HIT RECORD HIGH

    U.S. online Black Friday sales reached a record $11.8 billion, up 9.1% from last year, according to Adobe Analytics. Adobe expects Americans to spend $5.5 billion on Saturday and $5.9 billion on Sunday.

    Salesforce reported $18 billion in total Black Friday spending, with luxury apparel and accessories among the top sellers. Despite higher spending, shoppers bought fewer items due to rising prices.

    In-store traffic was quieter as many consumers worried about overspending amid inflation and economic uncertainty.

    Cyber Monday is projected to lead the season with $14.2 billion in online sales, Adobe said.

    7:04 AM · Nov 29, 2025

  31. @ 27, 28

    Nothing is sticking, but do keep throwing shit against the wall.

    It likely helps deflect from the disastrous decisions to claim that there was nothing wrong with Biden, and then to claim that there was nothing wrong with his choice to replace him.

    The Nixon reference was particularly persuasive.

  32. @18 Today isn’t just another day. Following the revelation that his “Secretary of War” committed murder and a war crime, the Commander-in-Cheat himself is fixing to commit another act of war, see #3 above for details.

  33. Don’t you libbies feel just a bit silly

    Fortunatley for us, as humans “silliness” is always comparative.

    And as long as we still have the Actual Pedophile Fucktard around along with Team MAGA, we’ve got nothing to worry about.

    It’s truly heartwarming for their sake to see that the Actual Pedophile Fucktard is spending another long family holiday weekend safely isolated from his own traumatized family, perseveratively responding to the “liberals” that control most of his sufficiently sober waking hours. Perhaps a few of the younger family members can manage to escape the relationship without the lifelong trauma of childhood sexual molestation. I guess we are doing our part here on HA keeping him preoccupied.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  34. Get back to me when Donald Trump issues pardons to his family members., a child molester who stormed the
    Capitol, the creator of the crypto market that aids actual terrorist networks, the South American Leader convicted of smuggling 200 small Venezuelan boats worth of cocaine into the United states, a different possessor/distributor of kiddie porn and child molestation who stormed the capitol, a couple guys convicted of sedition, mkay

    Good post. Thought that ip yourself? Bless your heart.

  35. @20 Sure. And the next time the U.S. military goes into another country, that country being Venezuela, our troops will be on their own because the locals — no matter how sympathetic — will know better than to work for, or cooperate with, Americans.

  36. @23 Note that in his very next post, #24, he’s blaming the military pilot who flew the C-130 where he was told to fly it.

  37. Donald Trump is low-energy.

    TV News Now
    @TVNewsNow

    MS Now’s Katy Tur concedes: President Trump is “doing much more than Joe Biden did. He is out there in a way that past Presidents haven’t been out there. He does give access, he’s constantly on television.”

    3:35 PM · Nov 28, 2025

    Sure, if President Biden was comatose.
    ·

  38. @26 Not nearly as silly as you defending Trump, his barely-not-teenage department heads, and every rightwing mouthpiece who happens along into your view.

  39. @30 It takes at least 350k income or so to be in the top 5 percent and at least double that to enter the top 1 percent.

    Those folks especially the well off retired boomers are spending munee like its going out of style and realizing pants shitters tariff wet dreams – and the country is still going further into debt.

    If you’re making it into the top 10 percent you’re able to make a typical mortgage payment and possibly a car payment as well these days – assuming you pay off your credit cards every month. Almost certainly you’ll carry a balance for xmas shopping.

    Everyone else? Good luck.

  40. Post without thinking

    Salesforce reported $18 billion in total Black Friday spending, with luxury apparel and accessories among the top sellers. Despite higher spending, shoppers bought fewer items due to rising prices.

    The 1% bought lots of Versace while the little people got new socks at Hanes Outlet. Totally healthy economy.

  41. the disastrous decisions to claim that there was nothing wrong with Biden

    Trying to see the connection with the useless bleat about Fani Willis.

    yawwwn…

  42. keep throwing shit against the wall.

    lmao.. staying in Afghanistan was YOUR shit..

    Need a link? hilarious..

  44. I thought the troll would be happy about the 20 trillion and “finishing the job” in Afghanistan..

    Very sad troll this holiday season.

  45. A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was instead deported to Honduras in violation of a court order, according to her attorney. …

    The day after Lopez Belloza was arrested, a federal judge issued an emergency order prohibiting the government from moving her out of Massachusetts or the United States for at least 72 hours. ICE did not respond to an email Friday … seeking comment about violating that order.

    https://www.aol.com/college-freshman-deported-flying-home-164411351.html

    Fly her back to Boston right now, and throw somebody in jail for contempt.

  46. Now that Trump has “closed” Venezuelan airspace, I wouldn’t want to be a U.S. pilot ordered to shoot down a Venezuelan domestic civilian airliner. That’s a plainly illegal order, so he’s punishable if he does, but will be punished if he doesn’t. The best thing to do is for all the pilots to resign their commissions and leave the services to avoid being put in that predicament.

  47. Are you folks ready to stretch the troll’s neck?

    By the way, aside from Carl, Darryl has to be the worst blogger in the entire fucking universe.

    Horsesass, the blog where nobody ever fucking blogs

  51. This has been a cathartic year.

    Biden’s doctor invokes Fifth Amendment in House probe of ex-president’s health

    Former President Joe Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, refused to answer questions to the House Oversight Committee today, citing the Fifth Amendment and doctor-patient confidentiality.

    Why it matters: The committee is investigating Biden’s decline while in office, and O’Connor had regular access to Biden during his presidency while publicly attesting to his fitness during the re-election campaign.

    What they’re saying: The Republican Chairman of the Committee, James Comer (R-Ky.), said afterward that “Dr. O’Connor took the Fifth when asked if he was told to lie about President Biden’s health and whether he was fit to be President of the United States.”

    Ah, the price of loyalty.

    O’Connor is one of Biden’s closest confidantes and has been with him since Biden served as vice president.

  52. Every few weeks since JULY we get to witness a self proclaimed medical professional, through Axios, out himself of not having the first clue what HIPAA is.

  54. Vermont doesn’t have the highest Afghani Refugees. Far from it. The Maple syrup industry is a very small part of Vermonts employment. And with a 2.6% unemployment rate probably is the reason why they don’t need a program for an industry that is mostly family owned and OPERATED. DRILL HOLE IN TREE, HAMMER IN SPIGOT, HANG PAIL, COLLECT SAP, AND BURN IT, AND BOTTLE IT.

  55. Maybe all of Biden’s Afghan immigrants hanging out around Middlebury College…

    They are all hanging around the college doing drugs. And when they get high they’re all eating the cats, dogs, squirrels and beavers.

  57. he’s constantly on television

    Houses burning make the news every time. Especially the big fires.🔥

    If a house in your neighborhood caught fire everyday, house fires would be in the news everytime.

  60. @57 What they’re counting on is burning enough houses so house fires won’t make the news anymore.

  63. How bad are things for Republicans in New York?

    Zohran Mamdani’s decisive win in New York City — along with key victories in New Jersey and Virginia — suggested Democrats are headed into the midterms from a position of strength. But they didn’t capture how deep that strength ran. …

    Democrats made gains in at least 18 different county legislative bodies in November, flipping over 50 seats across the Empire State. … GOP candidates flipped one county legislative seat in the entire state. …

    All told, there were 118 municipal executive races outside of New York City this year that were contested in either 2021 or 2023. The number of ballots cast for Democrats grew from 1.3 million to 1.6 million, a 22 percent increase. The number for Republicans grew 1 percent to 1.6 million.

    Doesn’t look good for the Fascist Party. Read more details here.

  64. Republicans should stop stalling to protect pedophiles.

    It’s shameful.

  65. The New York Times hung massive fraud episodes in Minnesota around Tim Walz’ neck.

    How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch

    And wasn’t nice about it.

    Boxcheck Momala’s team must have thought they’d be able to bury it if they won the White House.

  66. @ 62

    But keep blaming Biden, because some people are stupid enough to believe it.

    The Op-Ed author blames computers:

    One way to see this shift is by comparing the growth in workers’ pay to the growth in productivity, which measures how much income is generated on average in an hour of work. If pay for typical workers had kept pace with productivity over the past 45 years, their paychecks today would be roughly 40% larger.

    It’s not people that increased productivity. It’s computers. Because companies paid computers to do the work that increased productivity, they didn’t have to pay employees for it.

    So the fault is with those dastardly computers.

    I know. Silly.

    They should have taken liberals’ advice just a few years ago, and learned to code.

  67. Were a lot of kids raped in Minnesotta? Did Walz take part? Did he kill or buy off the key witnesses? Did he bury the investigation? Did he pardon key participants? Did he pardon a half dozen notorious murderers, drug kingpins and pedophiles? Was he even there?

    No?

    Who cares?

  68. Don Bacon, (R) Armed Svcs Cmte on ABC this morning says that if Whiskey Pete ordered the Navy COS to continue firing on survivors in the water then a war crime was committed and his committee will have to get to the bottom of it.

    So he’s saying an illegal order may have been given. And if it is determined that it was it should not have been followed. And if it was followed it resulted in a war crime being committed by those who followed it.

    Sounds almost like he’s saying Senator Mark Kelly is correct about not following unlawful orders.
    Who knew? (We all knew.)

  70. What a funny world. And what a funny turn of events.

    First Fat Hitler negotiates with the Taliban to remove troops from Afghanistan. Then MAGAturds in an effort to embarass President Biden make a huge deal about resettling “our Afghan allies”. Then Fat Hitler abruptly revokes the legal status of those allies so his MAGASTAPO can send them to torture sites. Then one of those “allies” travels to DC with a gun to take revenge and gets into a shootout with NG. Then racist idiots like Stephen Miller and the Actual Pedophile Fucktard decide to use that as an excuse to do terrible things to immigrants. Then it turns out that the particular immigrant in question was only here because of Fat Hitler put him here. And he only took a gun to DC to take revenge against Fat Hitler for betraying him. So then the same racist idiots like Stephen Miller and the Actual Pedophile Fucktard pivot to try to make the shooting about Sen. Mark Kelly advising soldiers to disobey unlawful orders. Then it turns out that Kelly was giving very good and very timely advice that was actually entirely correct.

    And now we get to watch a televised object lesson in the nature of unlawful orders under a mentally disturbed Commander in Chief and his lackeys play out over the next six months just in time for the midterms.

    The cover ups should create a nice series of predicating acts to extend potential criminal charges well into the next decade.

    Sure is a funny world.

  71. Were a lot of kids raped in Minnesotta? Did Walz take part? Did he kill or buy off the key witnesses?

    Maybe and maybe Walz also remote controlled Vance Boelter. Weren’t we told that by teh dumbfuck troll?

  72. facepalm..

    Two months ago, DHS sent immigration officers to Chicago to detain and deport “violent offenders” that the agency said were released from state and local jails because of “sanctuary” policies. So far, the agency says it has arrested more than 4,000 people. Officials have publicly identified only about 120 of those as having a criminal arrest or conviction, some for major crimes such as murder, and others for nonviolent offenses such as illegally crossing the border.

    When the operation began, the agency highlighted 11 serious criminals it said had been released and remained at large. DHS did not answer questions from The Washington Post about whether it had found them. One of the men on the list, Pedro Colmenares Gonzalez, a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member, had been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March. DHS did not respond to questions about why he was on the list if the agency previously detained him.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/11/30/chicago-dhs-immigration-midway-blitz/

    This horseshit about “the worst of the worst”.. why do the media or even anti-fascist youtubers keep repeating this?

    They’ve LIED from the beginning. They are fucking white nationalist racist liars. They’ll keep lying until they are deposed.

  73. It’s said that voters don’t care about foreien policy. And it’s true.

    But they do care about foreign policy scandals, especially when they involve dead U.S. soldiers and war crimes. This is how the humiliation of losing in Vietnam became transmogrified into America First!. And now we get to see the worm turn.

  74. 72,
    I’ve now taken to challenging in writing the editor of my local paper each time they report statements from Tricia McLaughlin without a qualifying warning to readers. I include each of the now 77 times the official statements of the DHS spokesperson have contained material lies. If she were a cop she’d be Brady listed and excluded from testifying in court.

    Remember Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s tattoos? Remember his drugs? Remember the human trafficking? Now even the DHS sworn statements to the court have been admitted to having been perjured. No credible media source can report on the statements of any official from DHS without some kind of disclaimer warning their readers about the agency’s history of lying, even including lying under oath.

    What’s funny is that it’s so consistent, pervasive, and normalized that the Actual Pedophile Fucktard is foolish enough to think he can bring that shit here to try and gaslight. It’s not that he’s even being sly. He’s probably fallen victim to it himself.

  75. Swiss voters to money-grabbing leftists with silly plans for the dough: Fuck off, pussies.

    Europe News
    Swiss voters reject proposed tax on super rich

    Switzerland on Sunday overwhelmingly rejected a proposed 50% tax on inherited fortunes of 50 million Swiss francs ($62 million) or more, with 78% of votes against the plan, an outcome that even exceeded the two‑thirds opposition indicated in polls.

  76. I hope and pray that this is not true. But there needs to be an investigation by the Inspector General… We’re going to investigate it. I sit on the armed services committee. We’re going to have an investigation. We’re going to have a public hearing. We’re going to put these folks under oath. And we’re going to find out what happened. And then there needs to be accountability.

    Sen. Mark Kelly this morning on Meet the Press.

    Now MAGA have given him a televised stage on which to play out the incredibly foolish dick measuring contest they chose and persisted in against a decorated combat veteran astronaut. (LPT: his dick is clearly much bigger)

  77. @75 The U.S. has an inheritance tax if in name only.

    The Swiss have a wealth tax. It’d be nice if we had that too.

    Apparently all of that works fine for hyper capitalist Switzerland known in Europe for its lower taxes.. banking laws and the like..

    Yawn.

  78. The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: “In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time.”

    The top four:
    1 Amazon
    2 WalMart
    3 Uber
    4 DoorDash

    Yes that’s right. You are paying full time Amazon employees because our capitalist system demands corporate welfare for shareholder profit.

  81. It goes without saying that when a contemnor has publicly admitted intentionally defying a court order, the contempt hearing is a formality, and it’s foregone that the judge will find her in contempt.

    The only issue for the court is what sanction should be imposed. In this case, given the harm to the victim, who hasn’t been tried or convicted of any crime, I think the judge should sentence her to a year in jail. Not house arrest, but actual jail.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5627038-noem-confirms-el-salvador-deportation-flights-order/

  82. @ 77

    The Swiss have a wealth tax. It’d be nice if we had that too.

    The Swiss have no capital gains tax. It’d be nice if we didn’t have that, either.

  83. @ 81

    … I think the judge should sentence her to a year in jail. Not house arrest, but actual jail.v

    Well, surely. A cabinet officer who seeks an opinion from the Department of Justice, receives the requested opinion, and follows through accordingly should be thrown into solitary without due process.

    Because a useless, bloviating former lawyer thinks differently.

  84. The Swiss have no capital gains tax.

    lmao..

    If you are classified as a professional trader by the tax authorities, your capital gains become taxable as income and are subject to ordinary income tax rates (progressive) and possibly social contributions. Indicators of professional trading include:

    …

    Unlike gains from securities, capital gains from the sale of real estate are taxable. This is known as the real estate capital gains tax (Grundstückgewinnsteuer), and it is levied at the cantonal or municipal level.

    It’s pretty sad to see people share on tiktok

    What libbie needs annoyances like the BLS and GDP when said libbie’s got TikTok to inform?

    Although if you’ve got TikTok, one wonders why you need a YouTube link to share.

  86. @82 So what you’re saying is wages should be taxed, but income from flipping stock options shouldn’t be.

    How convenient for a washed-up doctor who makes his money from owning stuff instead of producing goods or services.

    This, of course, is standard Republican mantra that has been around for ages: Tax the working class, don’t tax the owning class. It’s a slight deviation from the monarchy systems under which the artistocratic classes taxed the peasant classes to finance their luxuries and wars.

    In modern America, it takes various forms, but one of the most publicized is replacing income taxes with the misnamed “Fair Tax,” which is a national value-added tax (functionally, a 30% federal sales tax on all purchases). Trump’s tariffs, which are essentially the same thing, are an initial step in that direction.

    There are problems with taxing wealth per se. It’s a very cumbersome tax, difficult and expensive to enforce, requiring a large bureaucracy, and some assets are difficult or impossible to value, introducing elements of arbitrariness. For these reasons, I’m satisfied to tax capital gains when they’re realized, and the tax reforms I would seek are:

    – taxing stock options as ordinary income
    – eliminating inheritance taxes and the basis step-up, instead taxing inheritances as ordinary income of the heirs
    – eliminating carried interest and taxing that income like other earned income
    – and, if you really want to make the tax system fair, you’d tax capital gains and dividends at the same tax rates as wages

  87. @83 Yes, because even high school students are taught that defying a court order will get you in trouble, and certainly someone with a college degree in political science knows that. Therefore, if she listens to someone in the administration who tells her to do it anyway, she does so at her own legal risk. As for the DOJ lawyer(s)/officers of the court who told her that, I’ll settle for disbarring them, although they could be held in contempt and punished by the court as well.

  88. if you’ve got TikTok, one wonders why you need a YouTube link to share.

    Uhhh dumbfuck a lot of tiktokkers copy to youtube. A lot of youtubers comment on stuff tiktokkers produce..

    Dang, you’re out of touch in that dumbfuck widbee bubble.

    And you’re pretty stupid.. People who are barely holding it together in States like NJ, are pissed off at what private equity greedheads are doing to them like raising their $2300/mo rent by $700. And sharing what’s happening to them on TikTok. Not only blue state NJ but red states as well.

    They fucking vote. But keep being stoopid. It amuses the rest of us.

  89. a washed-up doctor who makes his money from owning stuff

    asshole babbles about NOT owning.. derivatives..

    Gains on which would be taxed in Switzerland.. lmao..

  90. the BLS and GDP

    You mean that gubmint’ stuff that folds in the top 1 percent?

    Sure, dumbfuck..

  91. The snark continues to be strong:

    NY Times Pitchbot
    @nytimespitchbot.bsky.social

    Talentless frauds close to the White House are making billions by crashing the American economy and selling out America’s allies. Here’s why democratic socialism is unthinkable.

  92. @78 our capitalist system demands corporate welfare for shareholder profit

    Being well aware of this, Doctor Dumbfuck and I left the workforce and became capitalists.

    Unlike him, I’m not a fan of this system, but since it exists anyway, why should only Republicans and people like him get to monetize it? I think liberals, and even socialists, should get in on it, too, while it lasts.

  93. @66 Wherein the dumbfuck troll argues workers who operate machines that make arrowheads should only be paid as if they were chipping flint arrowheads by hand.

  94. The Swiss have no capital gains tax.

    Incorrect again.

    Yet more childish gaslighting. And the pedophile persists in thinking any of us would ever again fall for any of it.

    Correctly, capital gains upon the sale or transfer of movable assets may be exempted, but only for qualifying individual private taxpayers.

    And in order to qualify an individual taxpayer must prove that the bulk of their annual income is from taxed sources (like honest work), and none of the income from capital gains is from any assets held or traded by any business, trust, or family foundation.

    And so the reality is that Swiss “billionaires” must either work for it or pay taxes on it. No free lunch. No “passive income” from inherited portfolio. Sad, sad pedophile. Fantasy ruined again.

  95. Networks really should refuse to have liars on air. He’s a fucking economic advisor to the White House. He knows no state in America has had gas under $2.00

    HASSETT: Gas prices dropped below $2 a gallon in a lot of places

    CORDES: Gas prices on average are still at $3 a gallon

    HASSETT: For a few states they got below $2

    Bari Weiss’ CBS is really doing great work on the propaganda.

  97. A 2025 study found that the rate of private equity firms is 20% or higher in some specific parts of St. Louis.
    In the first three months of 2024, investors purchased around one in five homes sold in St. Louis.
    >> Private equity firms need to be regulated

  99. >> Private equity firms need to be regulated

    Can we start with closing the carried interest loophole?

    Even Manchin supported that but of course, not Sinema.

    Glad both are gone.

  100. Italy passed a law to protect the women’s from The Heterosexual Neanderthal Virus.

    How woke. Kill them bitches!

  101. The Swiss have nice healthcare too, Mandatory. And heavily regulated. And subsidized for low incomes.

    SOCIALITES!

  102. The Swiss voted in favor of Same sex marriages by referendum.

    Not a Shithole run by a shithead in charge of the shit party.

  104. When they write about what radicalized Millennials to socialism the lead actor from a formative TV show having to sell his collection of memorabilia to pay for cancer treatment will be part of it.

    James Van Der Beek Auctioning Off Dawson’s Creek Items Amid Cancer Journey

    James Van Der Beek has put several Dawson’s Creek and Varsity Blues items up for auction as he continues to battle stage 3 colon cancer.

    You have to give up everything if you get sick. Even if you’re still getting residuals.

  105. MAGA’s Reichstag Fire has turned into an arson investigation to be led by the communists.

    With so many powerful, unqualified , and overwhelmed administration MAGAts desperate to find a way to please the furious Fat Pedophile it’s practically guaranteed there will only be more “Kill everybody” orders yet to come.

    And they still have to release the Republican Pedophilia Tapes.

  106. In February the United States Attorney General announced to much media fanfare that she had uncovered a DERP STATE plot rooted deep within the New York FBI field office to withhold from the DOJ “thousands of pages of documents” gathered during the investigation into the global child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. She then went on to publish a letter on February 28th to FBI Director Kash Patel ordering him to root out the DERP STATE FBI conspirators and issue a report within 14 days showed his findings.

    There was never any report.

    Soon thereafter the FBI interrupted or terminated hundreds of ongoing criminal investigations and reassigned thousands of agents to comb through ALL the Epstein documents and evidence, burning up over $1 million in overtime pay, to perform further, unspecified redactions directed by Kash Patel.

    Fat Pedophile is all over the Pedophile Tapes.

  107. @ 106

    There was never any report.

    There was never any Trump team collusion with Russia in 2016, either. And there was a report.

  108. @ 106

    I see that someone is preparing himself and his fellow HA libbies for the forthcoming nothingburger.

    Cry more.

  109. @ 104

    And last year he got press for selling his Varsity Blues memorabilia.

    A guy with his background has SAG health insurance.

    But offloading his stuff while he’s still alive means he can enjoy the publicity before he goes. Not to mention get top dollar.

  110. @107 Just Trump kids meeting with Putin’s lawyer, that’s all. And Trump wishing out loud someone would release Hillary’s emails and Putin obliging. You’re probably right, there probably was no collusion, and doesn’t need to be when Putin and Trump are playing on the same team.

  111. @109 Are you jealous because you’ve got a “used” horse you can’t sell due to its tendency to get a stiffy whenever it sees a human?

  112. 110,
    And Fat Pedophile’s campaign manager hand delivering stolen campaign data to Putin’s top lieutenant.
    And Michael Flynn repeatedly lying about it.
    And then Putin using the stolen campaign data to target millions of voters in swing states to help get Fat Pedophile elected.
    And then Fat Pedophile paying him back by removing sanctions, ignoring the Russian’s targeting US Marines in Afghanistan, cutting defense support to Ukraine, and negotiating a US withdrawal from Afghanistan with the Taliban.

    Another Fat Pedophile “nothingburger” stuffed with greasy fascist shit and dead US Marine meat.
