"failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people."

What a moronic view.

Would this spokesperson go speak at a ------ gathering?!?

Is there no choice for the human involved?

" Apparently they want to sue him for a million dollars."

His response should be "I never would've agreed to the contract if they'd been upfront with me about the name change. Frankly, the Adolph Hitler-JFK Center would've gotten my same reaction."

"ICE has seen a 1200% increase in violence this year."

Oh look! Another Republican who doesn't understand percentages. A 13-fold rate?!? What, did they not exist last year?!?

" people are opening files (they) weren't supposed be able to see."

So basically, Trump's tech people are at the "international spy" level of the "ink roller security" guy.

"Jeffrey Epstein died of an apparent suicide"

And the video recorder just happened to malfunction at that precise moment. What are the odds?

No...really.

As a math guy, I ask...What are the odds?

" feel free to explain why Clearance Thomas went from interest-only payments to NO payments on his expensive RV."

Better yet, tell me where I can get that deal!

"Lewzer to make shipbuilding announcement"

"Less than a fifth of Americans say Trump has benefited their wallets"

Does betting against him count?

I'm way up, especially in my tally vs had I not bet against Trump.

"Federal Deficit Has Decreased...The U.S. federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2025 was about $1.775 trillion, down roughly $41 billion"

Sorry, that's not how Math maths. Or English.

You can say "Federal Budget Deficit Projection has decreased"...but you can't claim the Federal Deficit has decreased, when in reality the Federal Deficit has still INCREASED.

"I'm always skeptical of such reports."

Except this one is coming out naked, without any supporting numbers, from an administration who has trillions of reasons to lie.

But both sides are equally guilty?!?

"Selling off the reserves was BAD for national security."

As bad a buying it back for lower prices...or worse?

"at this time, any good news is a lie, to you. Any bad news has to (be) true, to you."

Except...back in reality., that claim is either true or not. And if it's not, it's imperative to ask WHO is lying to you, and WHY.

Do YOU believe the claim inflation is at 2.7%?

"Didn't know that. Interesting"

It's from back in my bartending days, decades ago. We were in the beverage manager's office, loading in liquor, and the Beam cases were markedly smaller than the other boxes. I commented on it, and that's when an old school guy (the day bartender, about 40 years older than the rest of us) informed us of the history.

"The BLS might have carried forward prices in some categories..."

IOW...Republican Math.

It all depends on how you look at it.

"CPI at 2.7%"

Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test.

Neither does withholding regular monthly reports.

In fact, refusing to release the regular reports exposes the false narrative.

Jim Beam famously became the "call" Bourbon for a design reason: The square bottles required a smaller case, so MORE cases could be loaded on the same truck. Beam wisely used that advantage to undercut other bourbon purveyors.

"it wasn't that I took issue with Gay Marriage."

Of course you did. It brought your life decisions into question.

You turned on a dime against the Democrats.

Trans issues came later; any port in a storm.

" The Supreme Court could more easily pass whatever liberals wanted such as a transgender case."

Like equality.

Same thing that made you turn away from the Democrats.

" it all changed when it became political."

That wasn't your timing at all.

You turned against Democrats the day gay marriage became legal.

"Social reasons" then became an easy skirt to hide behind.

"It's never been about Ukraine alone, it's always been about restoring the SU.

I took Russian in high school in the 70s (before the breakup), and our teacher had natives from Ukraine visit the class. When referred to as "Russians", they quickly and sternly corrected us. They were Soviets not Russians.

MAHA: Measles Are Holesome, America!

(sic)

Or is that "sick"?

"He complied with all disclosure rules as they existed at the time"

Not true at all.

He went from interest-only payments on his RV to NO payments. That exceeds the gift reporting limits.

But look at you, carrying water for bribery!

"Democrats don't even show up for their congressional hearings"

What a riot, especially when Gym Jordan sends out subpoenas like the one he's currently defying.

"Clearance Thomas went from interest-only payments to NO payments on his expensive RV."

That, alone, would be enough for condemnation...if only there was a (D) after the name.

"Zero evidence has ever been produced that Thomas engaged in any quid pro quo"

Only if you're not looking.

For example, feel free to explain why Clearance Thomas went from interest-only payments to NO payments on his expensive RV.
