Has Trump said the "poisoning the blood" thing twice now?

He said that about a month ago right? I keep hearing he said again over the weekend. He's really pushing this dictator thing.

I'm having lunch in a bar overhearing a couple of Magats

The topic of discussion? How the "woke" movement is just all the kids they beat up in high school trying to get revenge.

I'm just staying quiet.

Good luck with any MAGA relatives you may encounter over the Thanksgiving holiday

If your family is like mine, there's a good chance you'll be treated to some rather large portions of cognitive dissonance and logical fallacies along with your dinner. The only advice I have is to smile and laugh at it. Get yourself through the meal. Don't let stress affect your digestion.

Happy Thanksgiving! And let's hope next year we'll be giving thanks for defeating this MAGA madness.

When your Trump loving uncle says there's no victim in over valuing property

Explain it this way.

Rich people can get better interest rates on loans than poor people. Money from loans is not taxed by the IRS. As long as the interest rates are less than the tax rates, rich people can borrow what they need to live on and pay less for their money.

Trump over values his assets to get good interest rates. This cheats the bank and other people taking out loans at the honest rates. He (Trump) then uses his good interest rates to borrow money that won't be taxed, cheating the IRS and basically all the rest of us.

Regardless of blame

It doesn't work when a nation's people don't all have the same rights.

There's always going to be trouble in such a situation.

I'm not even talking about Isreal. This is true for any country.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was equal support for Ukraine

There is such a difference and it's mostly because of the Republicans.

Ten Signs You're Probably In A Cult

This list could also be titled "Ten Signs You May Be a House Republican".
You have to create an account to read the whole thing, but the first two are free and define House Republicans to a tee.

Just insert "Trump" every time you see the word "leader", and "right-wing media" for "approved sources".

1. The leader is the ultimate authority
If you’re not allowed to criticize your leader, even if the criticism is true, you’re probably in a cult.

2. The group suppresses skepticism
If you’re only allowed to study your organization through approved sources, you’re probably in a cult.

Is there a lawyer in the house? need a quick question answer if I may

If a jury finds someone liable and the judge agrees, is the defendant liable at that time, or do all appeals have to be concluded before the defendant is considered liable.

I am totally not a lawyer.

Edited to say:
Thank you to all that replied.
