It isn't and none of its business about Cyg's daughter.
Thanks you two. I’m glad you both have my back.

A friend of Trump’s is why he got a slap on the wrist instead of any actual time like most ordinarily would get.

Fun with numbers

Florida's unemployment rate was 6.4% last month, remaining unchanged from the month before, according to state figures released Friday. Florida gained 9,800 jobs in November, but there were still 651,000 jobless Floridians out of a workforce of 10.1 million people.

And then this

Participation in federal programs

Adults and children receiving welfare (TANF):   72,904
EITC recipients:   2,110,000
Families receiving child care subsidies:   62,500
Households receiving federal rental assistance:   214,000
Households receiving LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program):   117,791

more   https://spotlightonpoverty.org/states/florida/

Fun with numbers indeed. Actually, a state with a population of about 22 million and rising, those numbers aren't too bad.

Did you miss the tourism hit part?

Is she qualified?

Why would that matter now? Your appearance and political payback are what's important.  (sarcasm)

With how the government lies to its people then it’s likely they are lying about COVID-19 cases.
Yep, I think the numbers are high regardless what some on here think.

Until a cop falsifies information that is used in a search warrant request against you. Then it's different.

He was a campaign advisor. I don't know if was a friend. Carter Page was a CIA asset. The lawyer altered information making Page appear he may be colluding with Russia for the Trump campaign to get a warrant to monitor the campaign. Essentially spying on American citizens without just cause. Is that the Soviet style America you're shooting for?

Let’s hope they do. They need to get rid of Moscow Mitch and company for good.

I believe that Soviet Style is what you’re looking for. Or did you forget about your willingness to overthrow our  government through insurrection?

Me thinks you’re not being very honest, comrade.

And the Soviet Union style came with GWB. Just in case you missed that. Or were you born then?
I sometimes wonder.

"GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene warned Americans would have to pay "the price of blood" to "get your freedoms back" if Trump lost the election.

Greene has previously endorsed violence against Democratic leaders.

Greene has also promoted calls for violence against journalists.

"If this generation doesn't stand up and defend freedom, it's gone," Greene said in a video first reported on by Mother Jones on Friday. "And once it's gone, freedom doesn't come back by itself. The only way you get your freedoms back is it's earned with the price of blood."



These freakish conspiracy assmonkeys keep babbling about Americans "losing their freedoms".... What exactly...very specifically... are they talking about? None of them seem to want to clarify that except to throw around these vague, nebulous references meant to incite their drunken comrades.
There is no threat to our "freedom" that I can see.  That is just one of those dipsht things right wing weirdos say because they are under the influence of paranoid delusion.

Personally, I am wholly satisfied with the level of freedom I have.  I've been doing whatever I want whenever I want for as long as I can remember and no one has said boo to me.    The die-hard inner circle of Trump's most deranged should explore possibilities of A) sobering up, B) shaving and bathing C) getting jobs.

I think that’s actually the republicans in office who have control over the media in Kentucky. This is what those that control the news under republican ownership want to influence the population with, as demonstrated during the Bush administration.
I remember those from multiple corporate news agencies when they were dancing on the stage with Carl Rove, don’t you?

I haven’t looked yet but I’ll have a gander in a few minutes.

How is limited government, free enterprise soviet? They were collectivists, weren't they?  The soviets were overthrown in the end after they collapsed.

How are you doing now, Cygnus? You weren't sounding too well last week. Better?

True. I think the Klan wants to take the United States back to a time when they ruled, so people to include government officials need to have them on radar. Or face homegrown terrorism like what they have in the Middle East.
