I am working to purge the dishonest and destructive mythologies of Monetarism and taxpayerism from people's brains. You can read my essays on those subjects here: https://jamesarobichaux.substack.com/

Yep! Supplements and self-care instead of vaccines and public health.

Trump is buying shoes that don’t fit for folks at the White House and they’re afraid not to wear them. If they’re unwilling to say β€œsorry, I can’t wear these shoes they don’t fit.” When that is such a simple and unimportant thing, they definitely aren’t telling him anything important he won’t like.

Why the f don't these people just secretly order themselves a second pair the correct size and wear those instead?

Yes, smoking cigarettes is better than having lung cancer, but doing the former causes the latter.

The Republican Party is lung cancer.

The Democratic Party is cigarettes.

For real, they love slinging accusations at me and Shay for saying there are reasons why Platner is doing well and they are worth understanding but then when either of us talks about another candidate, it’s crickets

It’s giving op

I keep resharing info about LaFlamme and the people mad about Platnerβ€˜s candidacy keep not sharing it and I don’t really get why you wouldn’t

Every pardoned J6er keeps getting caught being a pedophile, it's weird how many dozens and dozen and dozens of times this keeps happening.

Almost like they fundamentally do not believe in consent and that laws apply to them.

Like, this Mamdani piece. You read it, you read, "There were no short-form videos posted to social media about the attack in front of Gracie Mansion," and it becomes extremely obvious that the reporter is too biased to write the piece in an evenhanded way.

Utah’s gasoline prices surge 16%, and that may spill over into inflation elsewhere If gasoline and diesel costs stay high, analysts say, Utah consumers may see prices increase for many more goods.

Gasoline prices in Utah have risen about 45 cents per gallon since last week, and diesel jumped more than 65 cents.

FYI: He works these things into the conversation on purpose. He loves rubbing it in everyone's face that he got away with it and threatens to rape their little girls betting he could get away with it again.

Out of work and with 2 teens, this mom may lose food stamps under Trump's changes Policy experts say new SNAP changes don't address the challenges faced by single parents. They also argue that losing food assistance will only create more barriers for struggling families.

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

This is true, but it’s also been the case the his lack of fitness for the job has been clear since he rode down the golden elevator, announcing his candidacy amidst a flurry of anti-Mexican racism. The idea that Republicans are going to turn at this point is silly. He’s their man.

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

I know that most newspaper readers in October 2016 would have found the headline "Trump Plotting to Try to Steal the 2016 Election if Clinton Wins" a bit much...some would have said that was typical "liberal media bias." But, ahem, in hindsight it would have been a 100% true headline.

It's not "obsessed" like it's a weird affectations of his, it's a power play. He's doing it to control them. Make them feel too small to buy their own clothes. Make them subservient to him over "The Office."

Does that work? They're literally saying they're scared to not wear them, so you tell me.
