What could go wrong.

WHAT?!

What we're seeing is a coup by ravenous and insecure white males against everyone else. And as a white male who is not afraid to compete with everyone else, I think it's bullshit.

Based on reporting I've seen from CES this year, there's really not much to get excited about in my opinion. #tech #CES2026

So many swords and dicks being waved around right now, it's a wonder anyone can get a handle on either. Eventually someone's going to lose an appendage.. #politics

Very interesting - it sounds like Springfield could try a 'backdoor' progressive income tax by issuing income tax credits on the other side of the ledger capitolnewsillinois.com/news/despite...

Trump's second term has been a race from the outset. Could he consolidate corrupt dictatorial power before the country rejects him? Two weeks ago, it looked like the country might be winning—polls, court decisions, Epstein, special elections. But not this week. Trump has pulled ahead in the race.

Disappointing loss by the Chicago Bears who still enter the playoffs with the #2 seed in the NFC. It'll be one and done if they can't field a better defense than they have the last two weeks and they continue to wait for the 4th quarter to make magic happen.#ChicagoBears #Chicago #NFL

Trump said he’d reduce the debt. Didn’t. Said he’d cut grocery prices. Didn’t. Said he'd bring health care. Didn't. Said he’d avoid wars. Didn't. Yet his diehard fans hang on. He'd lose their support if he stopped being racist and sexist, but there's not much chance of that.

Irony may be rusting or dead, but it is a twist of the tale that the U.S.use the military to forcibly immigrate Venezuela's worst of the worst to this country. #politics #Veneuzuela
