Early this morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO??? I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic “entertainers,” this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!

“….The detainees’ interests at stake are accordingly particularly weighty. Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster….”

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one that will take, possibly, many years for each person, and one that will allow these people to commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a Courthouse. The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public. It will also encourage other criminals to illegally enter our Country, wreaking havoc and bedlam wherever they go. The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do. Sleepy Joe Biden allowed MILLIONS of Criminal Aliens to come into our Country without any “PROCESS” but, in order to get them out of our Country, we have to go through a long and extended PROCESS. In any event, thank you to Justice Alito and Justice Thomas for attempting to protect our Country. This is a bad and dangerous day for America!

Fascist has to Fascist.

All caps is the Internets equivalent of shouting.

What the U.S. Supreme Court majority (7-2) ordered:

Per Curiam
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
_________________
No. 24A1007
_________________
A. A. R. P., ET AL. v. DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTION
[May 16, 2025]

….We have long held that “no person shall be” removed from the United States “without opportunity, at some time, to be heard.” The Japanese Immigrant Case, 189 U. S. 86, 101 (1903). Due process requires notice that is “reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise interested parties” and that “afford[s] a reasonable time . . . to make [an] appearance.” Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U. S. 306, 314 (1950). Accordingly, in J. G. G., this Court explained—with all nine Justices agreeing—that “AEA detainees must receive notice . . . that they are subject to removal under the Act . . . within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief ” before removal. 604 U. S., at ____ (slip op., at 3). In order to “actually seek habeas relief,” a detainee must have sufficient time and information to reasonably be able to contact counsel, file a petition, and pursue appropriate relief….

….The Government does not contest before this Court the applicants’ description of the notice afforded to AEA detainees in the Northern District of Texas, nor the assertion that the Government was poised to carry out removals imminently. The Government has represented elsewhere that it is unable to provide for the return of an individual deported in error to a prison in El Salvador, see Abrego Garcia v. Noem, No. 25−cv−951 (D Md.), ECF Docs. 74, 77, where it is alleged that detainees face indefinite detention, see Application for Injunction 11. The detainees’ interests at stake are accordingly particularly weighty. Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster. But it is not optimal for this Court, far removed from the circumstances on the ground, to determine in the first instance the precise process necessary to satisfy the Constitution in this case. We remand the case to the Fifth Circuit for that purpose….

….The application for an injunction pending further proceedings is granted. The motion for leave to file a supplemental appendix under seal is also granted. Additionally, applicants suggested this Court treat the application as a petition for a writ of certiorari; doing so, the petition is granted. The judgment of the Fifth Circuit is vacated, and the case is remanded to the Fifth Circuit. In resolving the detainees’ appeal, the Fifth Circuit should address (1) all the normal preliminary injunction factors, including likelihood of success on the merits, as to the named plaintiffs’ underlying habeas claims that the AEA does not authorize their removal pursuant to the President’s March 14, 2025, Proclamation, and (2) the issue of what notice is due, as to the putative class’s due process claims against summary removal. The Government is enjoined from removing the named plaintiffs or putative class members in this action under the AEA pending order by the Fifth Circuit and disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought. Should the petition for a writ of certiorari be denied, this order shall terminate automatically. In the event the petition for a writ of certiorari is granted, the order shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court. The Government may remove the named plaintiffs or putative class members under other lawful authorities.

It is so ordered.”

Gee, in a Democracy there is no room for an Autocrat, petulant or not.

We’re going to find out.

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country. If I wasn’t elected, it would have been GONE by now! Sleepy Joe didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing, but Springsteen is “dumb as a rock,” and couldn’t see what was going on, or could he (which is even worse!)? This dried out “prune” of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just “standard fare.” Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!

Solidarity:

AFM International President Tino Gagliardi issued the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s attacks on members Bruce Springsteen, member of Local 47 (Los Angeles, CA) and Local 399 (Asbury Park, NJ), and Taylor Swift, member of Local 257 (Nashville, TN):

“The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada will not remain silent as two of our members—Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift—are singled out and personally attacked by the President of the United States. Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift are not just brilliant musicians, they are role models and inspirations to millions of people in the United States and across the world. Whether it’s Born in the USA or the Eras Tour, their music is timeless, impactful, and has deep cultural meaning. Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all our members.”

As if Donald Trump (r) doesn’t have anything else to do? Wait…

Just asking.

In Massachusetts:

12-year-old boy left alone on sidewalk after ICE raid in Massachusetts
Updated on: May 13, 2025 / 11:59 AM EDT / CBS Boston

A 12-year-old boy was left behind on a street after an immigration raid in Waltham, Massachusetts.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were seen on camera leaving the boy by himself on a sidewalk after arresting the person he was with on Felton Street on Sunday, May 4. Neighborhood Watch volunteers were able to get the boy home safely.

Worcester leaders, community activists denounce Thursday’s ICE arrest and police response

Trajan Warren GBH News

May 09, 2025
The NAACP Worcester branch is calling for a formal investigation into ICE agents detaining a woman Thursday and Worcester Police Department arresting another woman during the same incident as dozens of neighbors attempted to intervene.

Fred Taylor Sr., president of the NAACP Worcester, was one of several Worcester and state leaders to speak on Friday about the incident. Taylor urged transparency about what transpired and promises that it won’t happen again.

“The Worcester police showed up yesterday with overwhelming numbers. That was totally uncalled for,” Taylor said. “Our local police is not tasked to protect ICE. They’re here to protect the people and they should behave that way.”

Statement by U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley Regarding Attempts to Obstruct ICE Operations
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts
“The interference with ICE operations around Massachusetts has been disturbing, to say the least. This conduct poses significant public and officer safety risks. It is conduct that should be vilified rather than glorified. I will not stand idly by if any public official, public safety officer, organization or private citizen acts in a manner that criminally obstructs or impedes ICE operations. The United States Attorney’s Office, along with our federal partners, will investigate any violations of federal law and pursue charges that are warranted by such activity.”

Updated May 14, 2025

Apparently brown shirts are not required for ICE agents and their “federal partners”. Maybe they’ll add them to the line item for uniforms, IDs, badges, and standard face masks in next year’s budget.

Principles of International Law Recognized in the Charter of the Nüremberg Tribunal and in the Judgment of the Tribunal, 1950.

Principle IV
The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him.

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[May 14, 2025]
Anyone with half a brain saw Biden’s decline. The press actively tried to hide it. They worked with the Biden Administration to cover for him. They attacked anyone who noticed.Admitting it now – when it doesn’t matter anymore – doesn’t change that.

If it doesn’t matter anymore, then why bring it up?

Some of the responses:

Anyone with half a brain sees 47’s…

Posting and saying all this while your guy falls asleep once per week on camera is peak MAGA hypocrisy. And let’s not forget his health report that included spelling errors and gave him a football players physique.
The comedy writes itself.

It’s becoming at least twice per day. And he stumbles and wanders aimlessly. And he doesn’t understand the “executive orders” he signs…

Speaking of decline, when is the last time you actually sat down and listened to Trump speak for more than 27 seconds? Its nickname should be Rambling Donald

Republicans still talking about Biden because they have zero policies to help anyone but themselves and they need to deflect from their own incompetence.

Eric, it’s hard to take your outrage seriously when you’re ranting about Biden’s fitness while going on Newsmax, a network known for pushing far-right propaganda and getting sued for spreading lies. If tripping or speaking slowly disqualifies someone, then Trump—with his word salad speeches and golf cart dependency—should’ve been your first concern. But this was never about consistency. It’s about scoring points for your base. If you actually cared about leadership, you’d hold everyone to the same standard, not just the ones with a D next to their name.

How bout that gifted plane?
How bout no checks and balances by congress?
How bout the executive branch ignoring the rule of law?
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.
BUT….. Joe Biden!
BUT……Richard Nixon?

We now notice how the current president is in decline and you are actively trying to hide it. But you won’t say anything because of your half a brain.

It’s a cult.

you are nothing but 47s pawn

And we see and hear on a daily basis the rapid decline of our current President, who is unable to speak complete sentences, or pronounce words of more that two syllables. His stock answer is “ I don’t know” and he has embarrassed our country by his behavior at events of importance.

I don’t think the senator listens to his voicemails or reads his comments. He is completely out of touch with his constituents and with American values.

Folks, this is just a deflection.
We all need to be looking at the budget and how that man right there wants to cut Medicaid for 13.7 million people… cut services for veterans….cut services for pregnant women and research for children that have cancer…the list goes on and on.

Yet incoherent babble from 47, got it. You are mad (in the crazy sense, not the angry sense).

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets.”

But you can’t see American’s con man working his schemes over the American people.

Just another typical hypocritical post. Expected nothing less.

Who GAF??? What does that have to do with the current circus?

FFS don’t you have a job to do? Get to work for your constituents and uphold the Constitution. That’s your job Eric.

You are soooo behind the power curve on this! At least he bowed out of running. The brainless idiot that remains is in much worse shape!

We’ve all noticed that you have consistently remained a dipshit. [….]

Even people without a brain know that Trump is not all there. Maybe that’s why you refuse to admit it.

Resign you complicit pandering lying christofascist hack

Thing is, Biden stepped down with encouragement from Dems. Your guy bumbles and stumbles and grifts and breaks law after law while you cheer him on. You have gone against your pledge uphold and defend the Constitution over and over.
Disgraceful.

I’d still pick him over “Dear Leader”. The orange turd has surrounded himself with toadies, sycophants, drunkards, evil lizards in human form (Miller, obvs), incompetent clowns, fascists and Christian Nationalists. Give me an old man with quality people and a competent vice president.

Yes, Biden was in decline. He’s out. Trump is obviously decling. That’s a more pressing issue. He has memory loss ( can’t remember taking his oath, saying Ukraine started the war, etc) cognitive decline ( doesn’t know if he has to follow the Constitution and think he is in a Dictatorship instead of a Constitutional Republic, etc) add that to his frequent naps in front of the media, no clue what the EOs from Project 2025 are that he is signing and his Narcissistic Personality Disorder- there’s your story. Biden is done. Trump deserves to be removed from office. Are you complicit?

there you go trolling again. You’ve delegated your position to fat Caligula and do nothing but try to own the libs. The rampant corruption and racism abounds and you want to trash the former president. Shame on you.

Get off your knees and stand up for the truth. You are enabling an authoritarian and turning your back on democracy. You swore an oath to the Constitution and have forsaken that oath and pledged allegiance to a dictator. Resign and let a patriot who puts country over party fill your seat.

How is attacking a former president representing your constituents? You can’t meet with us but have time to, once again, go on TV to play sycophantic lackey to Trump?

Squirrel!

Your man trump has been obviously uniquely unqualified is every respect to be president since the 1980s. Didn’t stop you band of rogues. Now he can’t form a complete coherent sentence much less a paragraph. Stop with the hypocrisy.

Jesus H Christ on the cross, what are you smoking? The press dogged Biden relentlessly about this for years. It’s your guy you gets serial passes from media on his absolutely obvious decline.

You criticize a decent man while you support a lawless corrupt dictator wannabe. History will not remember you well. You are Missouri’s worst senator and we’ve got Hawley.

Josh Hawley (r) [2024 file photo].

F47 sleeping on ANOTHER world stage, lost. But go on…

Take your face out of Trump’s ass

Every right wingnut republican attack is always a confession.

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[May 14, 2025]
Look, Missouri is the Show Me State. So we’re going to ask people to show me why you should be receiving taxpayer dollars for Medicaid!
[….]

Some of the responses:

What a moron! You should know there is already a very rigorous application process with proof of income, age and or disability.

Who pays for your healthcare? Right taxpayers do. And yet you sit up there trying to take health insurance away from poor Americans. Shame on you. Why don’t you cough up your insurance. Maybe a few experience firsthand what it’s like to lose your insurance you’ll have a little more empathy.

He *is* compassionate. Just ask him!

If we are not taking care of our fellow citizens then why do we have a government?

Not really the government’s job.

I think you should go study civilizations and governments. You realy think it is not the job of our government to take care of its citizens? So we should disband fire departments, public hospitals, public schools, police departments, department of agriculture. No VA or FHA loans. No big construction projects for roads?

is it the Governments job to subsidize billionaires like Musk and Bezos?

I could of sworn the government was founded for the people by the people

You mean, the government’s job is to promote the general welfare?

Paying for tax cuts for the wealthy on the backs of the poor.

How in the world was this guy voted back into office? All I ever see is negative comments about him, which I agree with.

because ignorant people vote uninformed. That’s why Republicans love the uneducated.

Right wingnuts with money.

Yet we can find money for tax breaks for the rich. Spend money on space ships. And spend trillions on ” defense ” even though we are not at war.

we also can spend $1 billion to retrofit a jet given to Trump by murders. One that he plans on keeping after he leaves Office.

2/3 of nursing home patients are on Medicaid.
36.2% of Missouri children are covered by Medicaid and that number is 50% in rural areas.
66% of adults on Medicaid are working. Most of the rest are elderly, caretakers, or have disability.
In District 4, 83,000 children rely on Medicaid for health care. 16,000 seniors benefit.
People on Medicaid are healthier. They go to the doctor! People without health insurance delay or go without and have far worse health outcomes.
Here’s a thought: let the 2017 tac cuts expire.

It’s almost like this guy filled his entire stock of political and substantive policy knowledge by listening to Rush Limbaugh for a few weeks in the late-1990s – and nothing else! He carpet bagged his way into Congress, replacing the formerly most ignorant person in Congress (Vicky H.). You hold that honor now,

You’re supposed to be Helping the little guy. How can sending the poor into more poverty benefit our country. We look foolish not helping our people.

Even Josh Hawley knows this is wrong!

All of a sudden Mark Alford is worried about national debt except when it comes to giving tax breaks for those that don’t need tax breaks.

You’re looking for money to give more tax cuts for the wealthy.

What a joke. Im amazed his tongue didnt fly out of his mouth while saying that.

First off, where do you think the tax dollars are coming from? And as for asking “people to show me why” — aren’t the applications for the service enough? Do people have to show up in rags, covered in campfire ashes to qualify for the state’s concern?
Further, the general welfare of the people is why. I presume we want a functional and stable society for everyone. Is the Republican view really to have beggars in the street as a way of social life? “Please, sir. I want some more.”
We already have a problem with people rendered homeless for various reasons, do we really want to expand on that model?
[….]

Right wingnuts consider that a feature, not a bug.

Josh Hawley gets it. Why don’t you? NO, to taking away much needed health care just to give tax breaks to the super wealthy who already have too much! It’s IMMORAL!!

Medicaid pays for 2 of 3 seniors in Missouri nursing homes & 2 of 7 on disability. Seniors & disabled =24% of enrolled and get 60% of Medicaid payouts in MO. Of 19-64 yr olds on Medicaid in Mo 66% of them work. 1 in 3 kids in MO are on Medicaid. The reason is cause they are poor. Then 39% of births are pd for by Medicaid. Again..mothers are poor. What else can someone show you

Because my friends who need it will literally die without it? Because they can’t afford their medications? Because I would be homeless if we hadn’t been able to get it years ago when my son stayed a month in NICU, my husband worked full time and we HAD INSURANCE but STILL would be $20k out of pocket?

Wow, you are lucky enough to be in a position to do so much good for people and you choose to do this instead.

But somehow we can buy Greenland. We aren’t stupid Mark.

Mr. Alford, when will you have a real, in-person, town hall, instead of another meet and greet, or a rigged, virtual town halls where you get to pick who attends and what questions you’ll answer? Where you have to listen to your constituents instead of just talking at them to tell them your party’s line?

This is fair ONLY if you show me why you should receive taxpayer dollars for your healthcare. Because as far as i can tell, all you do is have coffee with constituents that agree with you. When’s the town hall?

How about you show people why you shouldn’t be voted out? Why don’t you show people that your oath the constitution actually means anything?

Alford sold his soul to the devil.

It’s not a reconciliation. You need to actually read the bill, and you are full of shit. You are empty of compassion

No, you are empty and NOT compassionate. You’re also inhumane you people have millions and millions dollars in your checking account with the average American living paycheck paycheck so I don’t know who you’re trying to convince you and that guy from CNN should be telling you the lies you are spewing!!!
The audacity this guy speaking about fraud your so-called president just took a $400 million BRIBE from the Saudi that attacked America. The audacity you people are shameless and inhumane is what you currently are [….]

Where were you when Trump 1.0 added about 8 Trillion to the debt? Dumbass.

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[May 13, 2025]
Inflation remains at a four-year low in the latest Consumer Price Index report.
📉 Grocery prices declined the most in 5 years
📉 Gas prices are down for the 3rd month in a row
📉 Inflation is lower than expected for the 3rd straight month
GOP economic policies are working!

There is much hilarity in the responses:

This is Trump speak! Check your facts Mark! I thought you were a better person than you are showing! Sad!

Normal for inflation to be level during a recession.

Yep. Inflation cools when unemployment rises and consumer spending decreases.

We sure are seeing the result of “Republican economic policies”, to quote Alford, and it’s amazing in 3 short months how those policies shot everything to hell.

….I’m not sure where you’re shopping…

A little early in the morning to be drinking, isn’t it?

What dream world are you living in – oh the orange circus

I call BS. Even the prices at Aldi’s have gone up

Why must you lie nonstop!?

because he is a member of the Maga cult. Dishonesty is their language of choice

I just spent $200 at the grocery store. Didn’t buy much. If you think that grocery store prices are down, you aren’t a very smart person.

I spent $134 at the grocery last Friday. The only meat I purchased was precooked Turkey sausage.

[….] ..I have no idea where you are shopping or getting your gas, but our gas has not went down and the grocery certainly hasn’t!!!

research would shopping for food and filling my tank be research? My research show that in my local area the information he posted is horsesh&t

In what store do you or any of your cohorts shop at oh wait you don’t have to worry about shopping

Grocery prices are not down at all.

saying things over and over again do not make them true

I’m not experiencing lower prices either. My gas is def still high considering it shouldn’t be. I wish grocery stores would reverse their increases. But will only put things on sale rather than reverse all the upticks they have done. I wish government would penalize businesses for gouging.

Gas went UP 10 cents in my town in the last 2 days. $2.99

Not cheaper in the Midwest Not cheaper in KC! I don’t know where you get your data but it’s not local to your constituents!

Where are you shopping?!? Nothing has gone down in price in the Kansas City area.

Gas has not moved and no groceries have gotten cheaper and the cost of living still up so maybe go back and check the actual numbers!!!

Eggs are still over 5 dollars at Walmart. I don’t see prices down where we shop in Sedalia.

Not seeing gas prices decline. When left this morning Belton QT regular gas 2.87; when I came home this afternoon prices raised to $2.99. Why?

Nope
Prices are up

Are you high again?

Mark Alford Do you live in Missouri? What exactly are are the GOP policies?

Where do you shop?

Working for the rich !!

Hey Mark. When was the last time you went grocery shopping?

Isn’t it hysterical how Alford is claiming how prices and inflation is so wonderful when just a few months ago he was calling the same prices and inflation out of control. Gaslighting and hypocrisy is his two top qualities.

The consumer price index, a key inflation gauge, rose 2.3% in April from 12 months earlier.
Eggs, Trump’s go-to issue, increased 49.3%.
This is a deflection anyway. Alford does not want you to look at the “big beautiful budget” that make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Moscow Mark, you’re in the dark….

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

You aren’t doing your own shopping apparently

Where do you live?

He’s just spreading the same BS as Trump.

Yea, but the guy who started it last time is back. This time he trying to make inflation and recession happen at the same time. Grow a pair and do your job.

What type of drugs you taking Congressman Mark Alford

But the shrinking GDP isn’t your fault, right?

Mr. Alford, when will you have a real, in-person, town hall, instead of another meet and greet, or a rigged, virtual town halls where you get to pick who attends and what questions you’ll answer? Where you have to listen to your constituents instead of just talking at them to tell them your party’s line?

We’re not fools, we’re out there everyday shopping.

Yes dear leader, I’ll say whatever you want dear leader, can I please get a photo with you dear leader, you’re the greatest golfer ever dear leader, can I get an invite to Mar-a-Looney dear leader, can I apply your orange paint dear leader. Kim jong-un doesn’t have sycophants as toady as elected MAGA republicans.

You really need to take a look at your disinformation. But for me, milk went up 53 cents a gallon and I shop at the cheapest place I can. Inflation is way up, thanks to your buddy

I’m from Belton and I’m telling you right now that you are spilling BS.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Belton.

Let’s talk about the ongoing constitutional crises.

Your whole party is gaslighting.
Why do you want to increase the debt ceiling again and cut public service, Medicaid, and increase funding to defense and I.C.E.?!
$40k bonuses to I.C.E. agents?? Fed and State employees don’t get bonuses!
Start working for your constituents and quit the loyalty to a fascist.

I just bought butter. It was twice the price when compared to a year ago. But sure. Keep licking Trumps boots. Or whatever you’re licking.

Lies. Please just stop insulting our intelligence

you lie like you breathe. constantly.

Because the orange jackass keeps folding on his tariffs as they manipulate the stock market to make billions for himself and his insider cronies.

This is the most corrupt president in American history. Taking an airplane from Qatar is not OK in anyone’s book. ICE has been disappearing people without due process. And our government is being dismantled. Why don’t you pay attention to the important things going on in this country right now.

Yeah…gas prices are down to 1.98 according to the president.

The consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2 percent last month and is up 2.3 percent over the past year
The annual inflation rate without volatile food or energy prices was 2.8 percent.
In March, the inflation rate was 2.4% and prices rose 0.1 percent.
My math says that means things are getting worse.

“OH, we won’t touch Medicaid….. You said that, Congressman

Where do you get your economic news? We are heading to a recession by the end of the summer; independent news is reporting bare shelves starting next week.

I shop for a living. I’m at the grocery store for my clients 5 times a day and not only are you a liar, you’re a god damn liar. Prices at aldi and Walmart even have gone up drastically.
