And rebels who get caught either get executed, or their tongue cut out. Almost like we’ve seen this story before…
Or maybe these games will involve high school students going on a field trip…

The worst kind of propaganda, as none of it is actually true, which is a pretty terrible thing for a federal agency to send out to deliberately misinform people.
(There’s a temporary general tax cut for a small sub-set of retirees, and nothing specifically about Social Security income.)

There is absolutely no way that one could grow up in NYC and not know that “shylock” is an anti-Semitic term. No. Fucking. Way. Possible.

I’m sure they’ll ensure there’s no Jesse Owens moment, either.

I’ve only been to NY a long time ago once, on a J1 visa, so what do I know?
But how the fuck could you grow up in New York and build your life around the idea that immigrants are the evil of the world? How?

Young people. And filmed semi or fully nude a la Leni. We know who’d prefer that.

That’s made up of words which are used in English, but it’s not English. I’d posit that it’s not language either, and it’s barely even language-shaped.

Anthony Bourdain did a Parts Unknown in Queens &, IIRC, he broached the subject. Not sure the episodes are still online somewhere/somehow, but the website still has some notes, e.g.
It’s America—when America was still seen and believed to be an idea: a place for people from all over the world to be free, to better their lives, to build a new future. To say such things these days is unpopular. But Queens, I hope, is an argument for the founders’ original intent, a place where America still offers the world something of inestimable value: hope—and in return, receives so much.
P.S. it goes way back, in Queens:

You’re correct for 99.9999% of the population but he is so fucking ignorant at every level that there is the merest hint of a scintilla of of a sliver of possibility that somehow he never paid enough attention and really does think it is just what he says.
“No death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker and in some cases, Shylocks and bad people,” Trump told the crowd while praising his “Big Beautiful” spending bill, which the House passed Thursday.
“The meaning of Shylock is somebody that’s a money lender at high rates,” Trump said, according to The Washington Post. “You view it differently. I’ve never heard that.”
I say this not to defend him in the least; either way he does not get away with this - either he knows or he is so fucking ignorant as to be abhorrent that he does not know. The man is a cesspit of ignorance and prejudice.

This is a direct consequence of Schumer going back on his promise to vote against the Republican continuing resolution in March.
You own this Chuck.

Her social media praise for her son’s appointment came just four minutes after she voted in support of her party’s “big, beautiful bill,” which narrowly passed the U.S. Senate 51 to 50. Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote on the legislation.
The bill slashes funding to the Medicaid program and shifts significant costs of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to states for the first time. West Virginians in particular are especially reliant on those social safety nets, according to numerous advocacy groups.
“One has to wonder why Sen. Capito would be such an enthusiastic cheerleader for a bill that is so devastating to West Virginia and its citizens,” said Del. Mike Pushkin, chair of the Democratic Party, in a statement. “One logical explanation is that she’s holding out for a deal… her vote in exchange for her son’s political advancement. If so, that’s not public service — that’s corruption.”

I would love to say i am shocked, but this has been SOP in WV politics for generations. Ask her dad, Arch. Hate it, but it’s true.
