Vaccines don't cause autism and chlorine and fluoride are not the same things du***ss.

I would like to congratulate the US electorate for once again proving that we are living in the dumbest possible timeline imaginable.

Trump 2.0 is going to be so much worse than the first go-round.

Researchers attribute a rise in autism diagnoses to increased screening and changing definitions of the condition. Hundreds of studies have found childhood vaccines to be safe.

Pretty happy about the prospect of Assad getting the Moammar Khadafy treatment.

Not happy at all about the monsters about to topple him.

Madisonian democracy is not coming to Syria anytime soon.

Biden administration officials, watching the remarkable speed of the Syrian rebel advance, increasingly see the possibility of the regime of Bashar al-Assad falling within days, five US officials told CNN.

Pretty sure if I ever decided to simply not file I would have a visit from a federal agent. Why are these people getting away with it?

From the article:

"A quirk in federal tax law may be incentivizing wealthy people who want to avoid paying taxes to simply not file their returns. That’s because it’s a felony to file false tax returns but only a misdemeanor not to file a return at all."

Tens of thousands of wealthy Americans are not complying with recently revamped IRS efforts to get them to file tax returns.

You can take the boy out of the working class but you can’t take the working class out of the boy. That’s why I connect so easily with blue collar guys like civil servants, guys in the trades and shuttle drivers.

Brought my car in for service today. Dropped it off and got a ride back home. The driver was a nice old duffer and I took a shine to him.

We live in a nice house in a nice town and as we drove into town I said it was a pretty little town and I wish I could say I love it but that there were too many stuck up people.

“Yeah, this is where the elites live. The fu***ng Biden / Harris people.”

That’s when I let him know I’m one of the Biden / Harris people.

But this guy hates elites. Elites like the alleged billionaire with the golden toilet who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, a private, Ivy League university?

How about the incoming VP who got a law degree out of Yale?

How about the head of investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald and co-chair of the Trump transition team who has been tapped to head up Commerce?

Those guys?

A lot of the people who voted for Trump are going to get hurt. The first hit is going to be to special needs kids when Trump does away with the Department of Education. Old duffers like the driver who brought me home today are going to get hurt too when Trump guts Medicare and the brain trust of Musk and Ramaswamy force former Medicare beneficiaries into private health insurance plans.

Leopards are going to eat this old duffers face and I'm not happy about it.

When I first saw this image and the related stupidity about making Canada the 51st state (you know, if we could get them to go along with it) I was reminded of the old Twain quote that God created war so that Americans would learn geography.

I hope everybody is enjoying the peace and quiet before Trump 2.0 because we are about to go through levels of stupid no one ever thought possible.

Yet another group of idiots that voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party are surprised that their faces are going to be eaten.

On Monday night, President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his opposition to the proposed $14.9 billion sale of U.S. Steel to Japan’s Nippon Steel Co., vowing to block the deal when he takes office. Some steelworkers in Pittsburgh’s Mon Valley who support the deal — and Trump —...

He’s so close. So tantalizingly close.

The Hunter Biden pardon has done something for Republicans that Trump’s record breaking mendacity could not: It has made them come out against lying.

Congratulations my fellow Americans, we're about to have an administration that will make the rich even richer and that will engage in scams large and small like this one where public education dollars will be used to give kids horseback riding lessons.

Great job.

Publicly subsidizing horseback riding strikes a nerve in a way that paying private school tuition does not. But what's the difference?

Remember when Trump talked about herd mentality? I do. I hope we survive Trump 2.0

More people who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party have fu**ed around and are about to find out that their faces will not be spared.

Texas builders warn mass deportations of undocumented migrants could devastate the construction industry, threatening housing and infrastructure work in one of the nation's fastest-growing states.

People who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party have fu**ed around and are about to find out that their faces will not be spared.

Mass deportations could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.

Sure, put the brain worm guy who is on the record about the benefits of he**in in a position of power over America's health policy.

Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services said his introduction to drugs happened the summer after his father was assassinated

Trump is promising 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% on China. Every single improvement made to the economy after he blew it up the last time will be eradicated.

Brace yourselves.

President-elect Donald Trump proposed sweeping new tariffs on the campaign trail that may raise prices for consumers and trigger job loss, economists said.

Just in time for president-elect S**t for Brains to bungle the response to another pandemic with RFK Jr., his brain worm and Dr. Oz to give validation to his magical thinking.

Health officials are confirming bird flu in a California child — the first reported case in a U.S. minor.

Might just spend the interregnum dunking on Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
