  1. He wore down his former wife as well. He’s not the great at nurturing relationships
  2. But it certainly looks like Trump is under Yass’ thumb now. https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/trump-truth-social-tik-tok-jeff-yass-rcna144951 It also looks like TikTok — or at minimum, one of its key investors — has just tried to one-up other social media companies in Big Tech’s ongoing battles over influence in Washington. Two years ago, The Washington Post revealed that Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, had waged a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign that involved trying to get media outlets and lawmakers to scrutinize TikTok more heavily. And although Meta can’t take total credit, that effort does seem to have helped get us to the present-day scenario, with a possible TikTok ban under consideration at the federal level and several other bans enacted at the state level. With Trump, Yass appears to be employing the oligarchic approach to protecting an investment: transfer heaps of cash to a desperate presidential candidate and hope they do your bidding.
  3. Beard is known to, overtime, wear on administrators, players and wives.
  4. Bibi is banking on Putin and Xi colluding with him to get Trump re-elected.
  5. Texas’ gun laws make the state an attractive destination for arms traffickers, gun control advocates say. Powerful, military-style assault rifles are legal and plentiful in Texas but banned in California. “These are weapons of war that are used on the battlefield,” said David Pucino, legal director and deputy chief counsel at the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2024/03/19/texas-gun-laws-and-firearms-trafficking-explained/#:~:text=Texas' gun laws make the,Texas but banned in California.
  6. Sure. Whenever slave patrols would go on the hunt for runaway enslaved people, they would often dispatch one from the house to help ensnare the runaways. In appreciation for him/her being willing to turn on their own people, the “house” person would often be paid in butter biscuits. Moral of story - don’t become what you eat.
  7. She’s a butter biscuit grifter without peer.
  8. This could very well upset the red hats who are outraged over the prospect of a two tiered justice system.
  9. Just a pitiful shame.
  10. This heifer is addicted to cameras: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-files-motion-oust-mike-johnson-house-speake-rcna134385 WASHINGTON — Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, doing so just as the House voted to avoid a government shutdown. Johnson, R-La., has served as speaker for five months, having taken over for Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from the top job under a similar process. It was not immediately clear how the House would act on her motion, which requires just a majority vote to remove the speaker. Greene, R-Ga., did not file the motion as privileged — which would force a vote within two legislative days — but instead as a regular motion, which could be referred to a committee, where it would likely languish.
  11. Another House Republican Is Resigning—Narrowing GOP Edge To One Seat Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., is resigning from Congress effective April 19, he announced Friday—delivering a major blow to the Republican conference’s slim majority that has shrunk as former President Donald Trump’s ideological allies have overtaken the GOP. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/03/22/another-house-republican-is-resigning-narrowing-gop-edge-to-one-seat/?sh=46f2a4ee2852
  12. Why is Kyle Rittenhouse speaking to college students?
  13. It may not be Jack shit, but I’m pretty sure it’s gon’ be some kinda shit happening.
  14. He has a different personality when he’s not shooting people.
  15. These governors have no idea what’s about to jump off in response to their inability not to overreach.
  16. The Courts are all over the place on SB4 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sb4-texas-immigration-law-blocked-again-after-supreme-court-allowed-state-to-arrest-migrants/ Hours after the Supreme Court gave Texas officials permission to jail and prosecute migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization, an appeals court late Tuesday blocked the state from enforcing its controversial immigration law known as SB4. In a late-night order, a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel dissolved a pause that it issued in early March to suspend a lower court ruling that found SB4 to be unconstitutional. The order reinstated a ruling from U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra, who concluded in late February that SB4 conflicted with federal immigration laws and the Constitution. Earlier on Tuesday, the Supreme Court denied a request from the Justice Department to void the initial 5th Circuit order that had paused Ezra's ruling. The high court allowed SB4 to take effect for several hours, though it's unclear whether Texas arrested any migrants under the law during that short time span. Ezra's order blocking SB4 will stay in place until the 5th Circuit rules on Texas' request to allow the law to be enforced while the appeals court considers its legality. A virtual hearing on that question is scheduled for Wednesday morning
  17. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signs sweeping law that prohibits diversity, equity, and inclusion at public schools and universities https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/19/us/alabama-bill-bans-dei-public-universities-reaj/index.html
  18. Kevin is poised to pull off an improbable triple double. He’s managed to ostracize two fan bases while failing to get drafted. Impressive.
  19. I find it beyond stupefying that millions of Texas actually like such a loathsome prick.
  20. The bill requires that all brown people arrested under its provisions must be dumped into Mexico, even if they are not Mexican and have never been to Mexico. Texas voters are the stupidest sons a bitches on the planet.
  21. I’m betting it will be mere days before they arrest and mistreat a Latino born in Navasota.
  22. Very few members of Trump's former cabinet have endorsed his 2024 re-election campaign. NBC News reached out to over 40 former cabinet members, finding just 4 publicly endorsed Trump. Other former cabinet members burned by Trump are advocating against him. https://www.businessinsider.com/members-trumps-cabinet-just-4-endorsed-him-2024-nbc-2023-7
  23. Is this the thread we use to congratulate Republicans on Putin’s re-election?
