Have a great long weekend!
Say what you want about the Trump bibles, but getting a holy book signed by the Antichrist IMO is a collector’s item and probably worth holding on to.
The other big advantage to collectibility will be limited production and sales. If he only sells a few hundred, that sucker will be worth serious cash one day. TAKE MY MONEY
Yes, but TRUMP WON HIS CLUB’S GOLF TOURNAMENT.
Biden’s fundraiser with Obama and Clinton highlights Trump’s cash crunch
Of course, this being Axios, they’ve got to promote Trump somehow.
Um (Axios)… How is a fraudster doing well on the “economy”?
Let’s be honest here. Change economy to “Won’t tax the rich” then that makes more sense to me.
It’s not even that; it’s “Person representing my party is good at economy.” And not that Biden has done a bad job or whatever but it’s similar (to a smaller degree) in reverse.
I wish Axios asked about “Won’t tax the rich” because the results would be extremely horrifying to them.
That’s exactly right. “Won’t tax the rich” is a winning slogan when courting rich assholes.
Many GOP billionaires balked at Jan. 6. They’re coming back to Trump.
Savage.
Woe is Potato. “Get back, chonky cat…”

Revealed: US professor was behind extremist site that spread conspiracies

How does he still have a job?
I’m not against firing people with conservative views in academia, but I am if they’re going out of their way to harm everyone they don’t like.
I’m hoping the use of grant money to further his cause will be enough to get him shit-canned.
The worst part of this story for me was the realization that this turd’s family is all-in on his shit organization as well.
He still has a job because of snobbery.
Boise State alone has about the same number of undergrads as Harvard, Yale and Princeton combined, but these cases get a tiny fraction of the coverage of an Ivy League professor simply saying one controversial thing.
Press execs simply don’t think what right wingers are doing in states like Idaho or Kentucky matters, nevermind how many college kids are there.
When cases like this are exposed, they will preemptively decide they aren’t newsworthy, and when pressed will come up with vibe-based reasons after the fact why 50,000 Tennessee university students don’t rate, and tangle themselves up in their rhetoric to try to avoid sounding like the elitists they are.
Even simpler: They want their kids to be in the Ivy League, not Boise State

And rumors (from the Wall St Journal of all places) she had an affair with Emol which is why she and Sergi split and the bros split.
I just saw another article claiming Americans have been told for a long time now that inflation is dropping and wondering how they don’t believe it.
Every one of those articles is an alibi and a promise.
The alibi is attempting to explain away endless “Egg Prices Highlight Persistent Inflation” headlines instead of simple headlines saying “Inflation Rate Continues To Drop.”
The promise is that they won’t stop. They think it’s the public’s fault, not theirs, and they’ll use their own failure to justify more of the same.
Egg prices. You’re right, they use that as an inflation indicator. However:
What’s keeping egg prices high for Easter? It’s not just inflation
It’s avian flu. But how many media outlets mention that?
I have maybe 3 big concerns about things that could swing November. One of them is that the Saudis are going to make sure gas is about $4.50 come September.
Yes, polls. But I know people keep freaking out over them. So …

Argh! There’s no escaping the fucker!
Welp that’s it…towns ruined now
Kinda figured living over here id at least be spared seeing giant trump signs everywhere
It’s sweet how they tried to make it seem like Christians are upset Trump’s dbag Murrica bible.
Most Christians in America don’t care, and many of that subset actively support this bullshit.
how many christians in america actually read a bible tho?
