And yet rather than becoming alarmed that Trump had suddenly and obviously developed a childlike belief he can determine the leadership of any nation, our whole political class continued in its conviction that there is some kind of deeper strategy underneath it. "Maybe it's about constraining China"

It's maddening because his fundamental stupidity is obvious in quite literally every public statement he makes. He doesn't understand half the words he reads off teleprompters, evinces no familiarity with very basic concepts, and regularly asserts completely inane nonsense.

Mom read the nutrition labels and calculated calories per dollar so we could stretch our foodstamp money.

Big Charity Big Charity is a feature-length documentary about the painful sacrifices of progress, and the demise of one of America's oldest hospitals,, New Orleans' iconic Charity Hospital.

He was a Democrat who was State Treasurer of Louisiana immediately after Katrina and did a lot of good work around investigating fraud and restructuring state debts after the storm. If you watch the documentary Big Charity your mind will be blown by his evolution. www.bigcharityfilm.com

The price of oil started dropping as soon as news broke that Trump called the war "very complete." In my opinion it's all vibes and cope.

I used to work a public-facing job where I would have to get potential customer's emails from them over the phone or via an online signup form, and lemme tell you people DO NOT know their own emails. I would say like 1/20 were just wrong, all the time.

I know, I found her on FB and tried to message her, I have emailed anyone back that I thought would respond (like her kids' school) - nothing. Like welp

I could literally drive to her house, that is how sloppy she is with information. She lives kind of on the way if I visit my mom!

Not to be confused with a dumb Melissa Vandiver in Georgia, who uses my email as her PRIMARY email. As in I have access to her MyChart and know where her kids go to school. Also I think she's trying to cheat on her husband? Maybe they're separated but she's been using an alias for dating sites.

This is so weird. I am the recovery email for a(n apparently real!) catering company in Metairie, to whom I have no connection. There are other Vandivers in the area but no other Melissa Vandivers I can find.

Still very much in need of help, nothing in since my last update. I have $1300 in debt and bills and prescriptions that are due soon. Please share and share again, Iโ€™m sorry to keep asking. Donate only if able. Iโ€™ve been lucky if I see $2000 a year. Thank you! โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ #HelpSky #MutualAidRequest

the Dem party number is easily explained by the fact that bluesky is full of people who will crawl over broken glass to vote for Democrats in November and also hate Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries with every bone in their body

In fact, the exact opposite is true with Republicans - they LOSE social currency when they criticize the GOP

On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.
