I keep thinking about this, not just in this context, but the other awful government agencies. The guy who drove the bulldozer to knock down the east wing. The pilot who flies the rendition flights. Hell the guy who *fuels* the flights.

I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.

C. A bunch of people did not understand quilted placemats exist
D. People accused me of ableism and classism

pretty sure that third one is a reverse psych , accusation-is-an-admission kind of thing.
United Democracy Project, an AIPAC-affiliated super PAC, is running YouTube ads featuring an AI-generated Trump assisting Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan campaign.
“Don’t Help Trump’s Candidate,” the ad warns.
Meanwhile, United Democracy Project’s largest donor is Paul Singer, a major Trump fundraiser.
