I’ve got to say, this is exactly the kind of math that keeps me from having full (read: any) confidence in Donny’s abilities. He claimed, more than once, that he cut prices on medications “1,300%, 1,400%, 1,500%.” He specified. “Not 50%, 1,500%!” He says things like that because his base laps it up like a kitten at a bowl of cream. “Ooh! Ahh! Prices down 1,500%. Why didn’t BIDEN do that?”
Well, because it’s impossible. So, yeah, Biden didn’t do that. Neither did Donny. It’s just that Biden didn’t lie to you about it. To be clear, if they cut prices 1,500%, when you go to pick up your prescription, you’ll get your meds AND a fistful of dollars. Anything over 100% means you get money back. Let’s say your script costs you $50. Lower the price 100%, it’s free. Lower prices 200%, the pharmaceutical company is giving YOU $50 to take it off of their hands.
Perhaps he’s just saying stupid things in an attempt to distract from the Epstein files…

Speaking of which, from out of the blue, with no warning and certainly no prompting – and having absolutely, positively nothing to do with her new minimum security digs she needed a special waiver from Donny’s “government” to go to – Ghislaine Maxwell has now declared that she never saw 47 do anything “concerning.” Apparently, she’s willing to misrepresent, but she doesn’t feel good about outright lying so they worked and worked until they stumbled over “concerning.”
Quick question, would it “concern” you if you were a child molester and sex trafficker and you saw one of your (alleged) suppliers molesting a child you trafficked? Because I don’t think that would be too “concerning” to that kind of a person. See? She got to tell the truth (because of her morals) and make it sound like it puts Donny in the clear. It doesn’t.
It’s curious, I don’t think of Ghislaine Maxwell as a trustworthy source. I suspect she might mislead if she thought there might be some benefit in doing so. In my mind, any testimony, comments, or statements she makes need to be corroborated with physical evidence. You know, like the Epstein files…

I have to confess, I DO wonder what he was doing on the roof of the White House. It’s a very weird place to hold a press conference – especially since the “press” was still on the ground and seemingly a good distance away. Maybe he was trying to distract from the Epstein file chatter. Then again, maybe he was trying to distract from the Texas redistricting drama playing out slowly while Texas Republicans work as hard as they can to cheat in the upcoming mid-terms.
I mean, they aren’t even TRYING to hide it. They’re out in force making public statements and threats against the Democrats who fled the state in an effort to forestall the proceeding. But the GOP wants to cheat. They want it soooo bad. C’mon, man, they need it. You know they need it. Just this one time, man. Be cool!
But the Dems aren’t “being cool.” They’re staying away and they’re making public statements, too. I don’t think this effort, alone, will stop the outright theft by the GOP but it could shine a light on it brightly enough that the Texas legislature decides it’s in their own best interest to stand down.
Naw, they’re stealing the thing. It says an awful lot to me that the GOP is SO certain that their own policies have been SO toxic, they’ll cheat in your face to keep their jobs – all so they can do MORE damage…

HEY, prices are still going up! He said he was going to bring them down but then they kept going up. Every day, it looks a little bit more like he knows nothing about the national and international economies. It looks like he’s just guessing – badly. Has he tried lying about it? That’s a common “fix” he employs. It’ll fool everyone. Well, until they walk into a grocery store. Donny forgets things like that because HE, personally, doesn’t walk into grocery stores.
All I know is, prices are still going up…

I know this is kind of rude but I always like it when trophy hunters get killed by their intended victim. The hunter has all of the advantage. So when millionaire Asher Watkins, 52, of Dallas, Texas, was struck and gored by a charging Cape Buffalo bull on Sunday, killing him instantly, it felt like…justice. The animal was minding it’s own business and Watkins came to kill it. The rule is, when someone tries to kill you, you feel free to try to kill them right back, right?
Watkins started it. The bull finished it. It wasn’t even a fair fight and the bull won. Occasionally, rarely, we get little glimpses of justice in this world…

So, what is it with these incels throwing sex toys onto the courts at WNBA games? Oh, I “get it.” These are women and those are sex toys. Uh-huh. But, no, I don’t get it. Are sex toys funny? I suppose if the only one you’ve ever seen is the one you bought to throw onto a basketball court, maybe. But what’s the play, here? Are the women supposed to just see a sex toy, forget the game, strip down, and have an impromptu orgy? What, with ONE sex toy? I’m guessing that’s not happening. In fact, I’d bet on it.
Worse, if you’re buying a sex toy you intend to simply throw onto a basketball court, you’re probably not spending big for quality, right? It’s not a very enticing offer. Dude, I see how you became incel in the first place. Let’s stop throwing sex toys on the courts, shall we? Just enjoy the game. Then you can take your (cheap) sex toy home and… make a new friend…
