Once Stephen Miller gets Habeus Corpus suspended* and their “lib” relatives begin to disappear, I wonder if the Trumpsuckers will just take it in stride.

My eighth grade science teacher explained the difference between hypothesis and theory is hypotheses explains the present and theory predicts the future.

Drives me crazy when people use the word theory incorrectly.

Me too. More often than not, the correct word would be hypothesis. Television is the worst for wrongly using the word.

TV always uses the wrong word, because the TV people are all condescending gits who genuinely believe that their audience won't know what "hypothesis" means, and will be angered by their own ignorance if the word is used.

Well, that's my theory.

They even got it wrong on The Big Bang Theory and they had a physicist consultant to help them get the math correct.

I'm just spit-balling here, but maybe there's a right way and a wrong way to address a nation's problems.

The "I don't care what it is, but just DO SOMETHING!" arguments aren't very compelling.

Surely owning the libs makes up for the loss of his business, yes?

Anyone else not surprised Al Bundy voted for Trump?

Austin Peterson pretends at being libertarian. Maybe he shouldn’t have supported a fascist while expecting a libertarian outcome? Or is he a fascist like the rest of the GOP as long as he isn’t the target of fascist market and social policies? Seems that way in his tweet where he’d like the anti-libertarian tarriffs fine if they carved out an exception for him while targeting Nike.

Often the best way to understand a person's qualities is to listen to close relatives. Caroline Kennedy calls her cousin RFK Jr "willfully uninformed" and "a predator." Almost the entire family of one GOP Congressional candidate went on TV and begged (unsuccessfully?) the public to vote against the guy. Jared and Ivanka, after grifting $100s of millions during Trump-45, want nothing to do with Trump-47. Videos show Ted Cruz's daughter being repulsed when Daddy fondles her.

And here's what Donald Trump's niece thinks of him:

Just to be clear, the actor who played Al Bundy didn't vote for Trump.

Many yokels voted for the fascists in hopes they would reduce the deficit, but instead their plan is to give even more tax cuts. The MAGA crowd will brag about the taxes they will raise by reducing the "SALT" deduction, or eliminating it altogether.

BUT BE AWARE PLEASE:
Rich successful "Blue" states like New York and California are already effectively giving HUGE transfers of income to "Red" basket-cases like Alabama and Oklahoma. Think TRILLIONS. With a T. Reducing the SALT deduction will just magnify this transfer. Keep this in mind when listening to lies from the QOPAnon Party.

For decades, BOTH parties saw themselves as responsible for the welfare of ALL Americans, not just those who voted for them. But Trump and his hand-picked evil-doers act just the opposite, eagerly stealing from Blue voters to help the Reds and especially rich Red campaign donors.

BUT BE AWARE PLEASE:

5/23
The Big Burdensom Bill just passed the house. By only one vote.
It will add 3 TRILLION to the debt.
Cut medicare and social security.
It still needs to pass the Senate.
Write or call your senator now.

Trump voter and farmer is shocked to find that deportations are happening.

Vt. farmers wanted stricter immigration policies. Now Trump’s deportation push is hurting their businesses - Boston Globe

Dustin Machia was excited to vote for Donald Trump for president last year, in part because he pledged to crack down on illegal immigration.

“We had a border problem,” Machia said. “We don’t want bad people in here. We don’t need the drugs and the gangbangers.”

But following high-profile deportations of migrant farmworkers in northern Vermont, Machia, a fifth-generation dairy farmer, said he feels misled.

“All the dairy farmers who voted for Trump were under the impression they weren’t going to come on farms and take our guys,” said Machia, 37. “It’s happening more than we’d like. It’s scaring the farming community and we’re like, ‘This wasn’t supposed to happen.’”

So is Machia admitting that he employs illegal immigrants? In that case maybe he’s lucky that they’re only taking his guys.

Cuban rapper El Funky couldn't vote for Trump, but says, “If I could vote, I would have voted for Trump... He’s the strongest president when it comes to Cuba.”

The Pro-Trump Cuban Rapper About to Be Deported - Politico

In 2021, like many Cubans and Cuban Americans that summer, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was jamming to “Patria y Vida,” the Grammy-winning protest anthem that became a rallying cry for dissidents in Cuba. The hip-hop song, whose title translates to “Homeland and Life,” directly rebuked Fidel Castro’s revolutionary slogan, “Patria o Muerte” — “Homeland or Death.” That was a cause that resonated with Rubio, the son of Cuban exiles, so much that in 2023, he introduced the “Patria y Vida Act,” “protecting against Tyrants” and expanding internet service in Cuba.

Now, one of the song’s central voices, Cuban rapper Eliéxer Márquez Duany — better known as El Funky — faces removal from the United States. Earlier this month, U.S. immigration authorities denied Márquez Duany’s residency application under the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act. He has less than 30 days to leave the U.S. or face deportation and likely imprisonment in Cuba, since his music helped fuel the largest anti-government protests in Cuba in decades.

Despite Márquez Duany’s troubles, Rubio, now the secretary of State, has remained silent. So have other influential Cuban American figures and politicians who had embraced the #CubaLibre cause, such as Florida Reps. Carlos Giménez and Mario Díaz-Balart, who celebrated Márquez Duany and submitted the lyrics of “Patria y Vida” into the Congressional Record. (Rubio, Giménez and Díaz-Balart did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)

"I Voted for Trump" — Now My Industry's Down 23% and Collapsing Fast: Freight CEO’s Heartbreaking Realization

Craig Fuller thought he was voting for business savvy, not economic shock therapy. But just 100 days into Donald Trump’s second term, the founder of Chattanooga-based freight analytics firm FreightWaves says the administration’s aggressive tariff policies are slamming the industry he helped build—and fast.

“I did not vote for a neutron bomb to wipe out supply chains and small businesses,” Fuller wrote in an April 20 social media post. A longtime Trump supporter and even a rumored contender for transportation secretary, Fuller is now sounding the alarm about the damage he says is being done by what he calls “economic whiplash.”


In his view, the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods are functionally an embargo, and they’ve been rolled out so suddenly that U.S. companies haven’t had time to adapt. “It’s too much too fast,” Fuller told reporters in a phone interview. “The economy can’t absorb it.”

It’s amazing that Trump never indicated while he was running that he would use rash tariff policies. How could Craig Fuller have possibly known what he was voting for??!?
