Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Good luck -- E. Jean Carroll just kept getting excuses to re-sue him, which was hilarious, since he just could. not. resist. defaming her when legally ordered not to. :). The man seems absolutely compelled to double-down on his disrespect if he is pressured to act like a decent person. He just can't resist trying to "assert dominance" or something.


Carney should formally demand Krasnov "say Thank You" for our water, oil, wood, steel, potash and aluminum, before we drop tariffs. Heh.

EDIT: Vance, too. He should have to say Thank You, on the air, on Fox 'News', before we drop tariffs.

That’s the point. This will hopefully eventually pressure Congress to do their job.

I fear people think this will be a short term thing but in reality if we want to protect our sovereignty it has to be more permanent. We need to evolve other markets.

this congress? the majority is drunk on the maga juice, the minority is a disorganized mess still in shock. and combined, the vast majority is bought and paid for by those who stand to gain the most from this shitshow.
