Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more embarrassed being an American.

This is a great window into how Trump, Vance and MAGA do business.

Bully. Yell. Lie. Threaten.

He knows. They can smell their own.

Unconvinced, Linda and Kayla Nordquist asked New York State Police Troop E to file a missing person’s report. They said a state trooper declined.

“She said I need to stop watching so much TV, something about it not being a true crime episode,” Kayla said. “I need to stop watching so much TV and that they don’t pass out missing people flyers.”

To Serve, Protect and Defend the People of New York?

I feel like “later rescinded” makes it sound like all the other aid that just got cancelled.

This case is more egregious and frankly scary.

The funds were in the city’s bank account, and the Trump administration went into that bank account and took the money back without telling the city.

It’s almost like Trump when to a seminar on the incredible healing power of tariffs, and believed every word he heard.

Late this fall, after all of the nonsense on Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram I asked myself a very simple question.

“Is the reason I joined these sites still valid? What do I actually enjoy about social media these days?”

The answer was basically “rose colored glasses.”

I joined **Reddit **after the ‘deaths’ of Slashdot and Digg. It became my source to get new and interesting content I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise. Now it’s bots arguing with bots and 75+% of the content is just recycled shit by people trying to make money. Much of the rest is from people trying to manipulate you.

I joined Facebook to keep in touch with my friends and family - especially those I don’t see often. Over time, the amount of good content from people I knew dropped to maybe 25% of my feed. Most of it now is AI-generated bullshit or more of the same recycled content you see on Reddit.

I joined Instagram to share some of my landscape photos and view some of the great photos some close friends were sharing. Over time that became less and less. Queue the recycled and AI-bullshit content.

Delete.

So, I challenge everybody to ask themselves do they actually enjoy social media? Do these sites actually add value to your life and in any way remain true to their promise when you joined them so many moons ago. Are you actually making any connections with people? The ‘social’ in ‘social’ media? Or just watching people talk at each other, not to each other.

After answering those questions, the answer about whether to stick around is pretty clear.

Mercedes also includes a number of items as a subscription in some countries. Some stuff is app related. Others are things like getting full use of your rear-steering wheels and unlocking extra horsepower.

So the blue states don’t have a National Guard to respond?

… and we’re going to get those hard drives back, right? And figure out what they did with that data, right?

You have to wonder which shipping mogul has Trumps ear on this.

“I’m already insanely rich! But I’d be even more insanely rich if it wasn’t for that stupid canal charging me to use it!”

When your reasons for dismissal is being a black woman, you have a pretty good case.

And the rest comes from a hyper inflated Tesla stock price.

Generally that power is financial. The government can’t directly tell private institutions like NYU what to do.

But they can, and do, take away or withhold government funds for grants and research.

Buuuut … all that is held up right now. And if Trump has his way, that’s all gone regardless.

So I’m guessing this is a classic case of making decisions by the university based on old thinking.

This is the way these things work though. This will get attention. The next one will be even bigger.

I’ll put this right here:

“If 50,000 Palestinians dead under the rubble isn’t enough to sway me from Democratic Party, I don’t know what is,” Afarajalla said.

Holy shit! A Schumer sighting!

There’s a reason Egypt has their border with Palestine secured.

Trump wild should also read up about Black September and the Lebanese Civil War.

And lets also not forget he repeatedly claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025. Not the policies. Not the people behind it.

Now he’s claiming a mandate to execute the plan he denied having any knowledge of.

It’s amazing how he always seems to have “the answer” AFTER something bad happens. But never the foresight to make changes before tragedy strikes.

Watching the video, it’s also very weird the helicopter didn’t seem to try and avoid the collision at all.
