Trump's FL house district in FL just flipped to Dem in a district that voted for him in 2024 by 54.6% to 44.0%, a +10.6 margin.

Trump's new representative is Emily Gregory, and she flipped the district by a 51%-49% margin.

I posted that the other day.

Trump's TACO extra days make oil and stock traders think things were getting better. Market manipulation.

Meanwhile, the strait is still closed and thousands of Marines are on their way.

Stay tuned.

Think I'll watch Goodfellas again ... :-)

We had a copy of Henry Hill's cookbook forever. I gave it to one of the neighborhood kids I grew up with in the suburbs. A few of the dads on my paper route were mafia guys, including his, which I only realized later:

I always wondered why some of the dads seemed to be home a lot during the day. And how one, who had 10 kids, could afford to not work AND buy his 16-year-old daughter a 'Vette. Sometimes I could hear one of the dads, who lived on the street behind mine, guffawing with other dudes, or yelling, "Marie, get me another g-damned beer! I didn't put 2 and 2 together until years later when a headline in USA Today was about the feds indicting most of them. LOL

"Goombas" might not have been filtered out ...

A cousin of mine got in a LOT of trouble with my aunt and uncle back when. My uncle noticed he suddenly had a nice watch and a wad of cash. When he asked him about it, Russell said, "I got a job." Turned out Gotti's outfit had hired him to be a runner in Queens. Apparently they'd hire juveniles for some "jobs" like that. Russell got grounded for months LOL.

MAGA could easily rename themselves "White Nights of the GOP).

Same racism as the MS branch in the 60's.

If people lack the critical thinking skills to see the ridiculousness of voting Stein/Nader to stop the GOP, then just more fodder for my amusement.

It comes off as you supporting them. Add (/snark) or something.

His 20h great-grandfather:

Oil futures were headed up before Trump's announcement, that is.

Looks like "the markets" are already catching on that Trump was lying his --- off yesterday morning about "talks" with Iran.

Iran's message this morning was to pound Israel with a barrage of missiles.

#25 | Posted by censored

I'm sure you're also read about the hundreds of millions in futures trading that happened 15 minutes before Trump's fake announcement. Insider tipoff, no doubt. Especially considering futures were headed up at that moment.

If you keep posting "Stein/Nadar...!" people think you're serious.

Just sayin'

Iran rains missiles onto Israel and mocks Trump's talk of joint control of strait

...After Trump's Truth Social comment on Monday, Iran said no talks had yet been held.

Been one of the goals of the fascist element of the Republican Party for a long long time, to bankrupt America so the oligarchs could rule and FDRs safety net could be first, reduced, then torpedoed.

"Starve The Beast" has been their MO since Reagan.

Trump and Netanyahu said their ability to enrich uranium was destroyed LAST JUNE.

So, which is true? It was destroyed last June or not? And whatever uranium Iran had is buried under mountains of rubble.

"Trump Reposts: 'Third Term for Trump'"

I guess that's fine, as long as this doesn't affect out plans to vote for Jill Stein/Ralph Nader 2028!

Posted by censored

Idiots who vote for Stein and Nader are why America is in such a pickle, with this lying dotard in the WH.

Republicans see voters like that as gullible suckers.

Mail-in for me, none for thee!

What a lying POS

You're right.....Trump measures success by the stock market......but he's not alone.

Posted by eberly

He is alone in using the stock market as a gauge for how well the economy is doing.

Other presidents have focused on GDP, employment, wage growth, inflation indexes, etc. Things that matter to the middle class.

-What if we just gave Iran $200 billion dollars to quit?

quit what, exactly? developing nuclear weapons?

Republicans went bonkers when Obama unfroze $1.7b Iranian funds.

Trump measures success by the stock market. He sees it's tanking.

Betcha some insiders got the heads up before his announcement and bought yesterday or during this morning's pre-market.

This war won't be over until Iran decides it is.

What's being floated now by the Trump WH? The same deal Obama and the world signed in 2014 that Trump blew up, but with more billions going to Iran than the $1.7 billion repatriated to Iran under the original 2014 deal.

What a negotiator!! (/snark)

I was pointing out the Vikings discovered America, not Columbus, who's given credit for something he didn't actually do.

The WH is floating an idea to end the war that merely copies the deal Obama + world negotiated with Iran in 2014.

But rewards Iran with a lot more cash:

*** Statue of Christopher Columbus Erected on White House Grounds ***

Slave Trader

Jefferson Davis or George Wallace might be next.

It should be the Vikings. They were on North American soil hundreds of years before Columbus stumbled on the Caribbean.

Vikings landed in North America, specifically at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada, exactly in 1021 AD. Led by Leif Erikson, they established a short-lived settlement nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus. This precise date was determined by analyzing tree rings on wooden artifacts, which showed they were cut in 1021.

In some parts of the US, diesel prices have hit $5.00 per gallon, pissing off truckers.

So much winning!

Trump was right! I'm tired of all the "winning." (not winning)

NASA is sending a flash drive with millions of names of people who get a "Boarding Pass" on their website.

I got 'em for my family extended family, friends, and the names of dearly departed friends and family.

You can too:

Report comes from a corrections officer (not an inmate)

The memo states Bureau of Prisons Officers shredded bags full of documents within days of finding Epstein dead

AG relates other weird things about the death: the FBI took hours to show up, and by then the body had been moved, the strip he used to hang himself was gone, a couple of signs in the body of strangulation, guards got in trouble, specific cameras not working, told we had unedited video (it was edited), guards overheard saying we have to cover this up, guards received thousands of dollars in Zelle payments before, and more

The investigators tasked with finding out what happened were actually doing the shredding

The 302 document between the concerned corrections officer and the FBI included:
