Here’s the problem with the “blame the protesters” COVID excuse: if that were the cause here, we’d see equivalent spikes in NYC, DC, Chicago, & other urban areas. We don’t. The outbreaks are exclusively occurring in TX, FL, AZ, GA, LA, MS—states that opened ahead of the curve.

Please read this statement from the family of Rebecca Lobach. Read every damn word. And then share it with anyone you know who still cheers on this sorry excuse for a President.
The President of the United States, the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense claimed, without evidence, that this accomplished warrior was only in the pilot’s seat because of “DEI”.
She was in the top 20% of cadets nationwide—and it’s pathetic and disgusting that her family had to issue this statement to the country to justify her seat even in her death because the leaders she served under blamed her for the accident in front of the White House press corps within 12 hours of the crash on baseless speculation that she was unqualified because she was a woman.
If you’re an American—or even if you’re just a decent person—this should make you burn.

You’re a liar. No Democratic candidate or leader has “mourned the loss” of Soleimani. I’m a conservative Republican that used to be an avid fan of yours. Now, I can’t even respect you, much less vote for you. Sick of all the casual & conscious lying. It’s disqualifying.

Listen to Don Jr. explain that the real reason the Trumps had to sell memecoins was because no actual banker would lend them money. He says it was because of their politics—but anybody who knows anything about bankers (who definitely skew conservative) knows that if you’ve got good credit and you’ve got a good business, they want to be in on the action.
So? The Trumps turned to sketchy unregulated capital raises with memecoins that bilk retail investors without any liability under the securities laws.
If you don’t see this as the obvious scam that it is, you deserve to lose your money.
