First off, this isn't even truth. Once again, your propagandists are cherry picking polls to get to those "facts" for their idiot readers.
And the second thing is that Joe Biden* wrecked everything when things were going well and made it worse for the next 3 years straight. 95% of the higher prices than we're paying 5 years ago was all under Joe Biden*'s watch.
That's the bitch about inflation. Inflation that you straight-up denied was even happening for 4 years. Nobody wants to hear a fucking word out of Paul Krugman today after all the lies and incorrect predictions.

Yes. It was.

And I've already covered why those 5 were chosen to vote along with the 3 who were already going to support the end of the shutdown 2 days ago in the SNAP thread, where I also made my correct prediction about when Democrats would cave...

Dick Durbin already voted against Republicans 15 times on this shutdown, and if nobody higher up ordered him to do otherwise, he'd just keep right on doing that until the sun implodes. Dick Durbin hates Trump more than JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson.
So... What do all 5 of the Democratic Senators that jumped the fence last night have in common?
They're all old and on their way out.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois
Age: 81
Retiring from Senate next year...

Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia
Age: 67
No plans on retiring yet, but dude is a very old looking 67 and probably wouldn't mind a forced exit out of politics since he probably never would do it of his own volition since the money and perks are just too good.

Here is the least evil act I can find, along with the reasons the people gave for what they did:
Why Don’t People Return Their Shopping Carts? A (Somewhat) Scientific Investigation
By Hannah B. Waldfogel | November 10, 2025
https://behavioralscientist.org/why-dont-people-return-their-shopping-
carts-a-somewhat-scientific-investigation/
Why don’t people return their carts?
People had all sorts of reactions to being asked to do the right thing (see Figure 1). There were those who deflected, challenging the question itself rather than answering it. Do you work here? Are you the cart police? Do you represent this company? Who are you? Can I see your ID? Do you have any authority? Who do you work for? Who do you think you are? Why don’t you get a real job?
Some responded with anger and aggression. They yelled, cursed, and mocked. Some threatened to (or did) call law enforcement. Others escalated further, brandishing weapons like guns, tasers, or knives. “I’m gonna slash your face,” warned one man. “Why don’t I kick your ass?” asked another. A third shopper told the Cart Narc, “This is how you get killed.” If only returning the cart stirred as much passion as did refusing to.
Then there were the many, many excuses. In over half of the encounters I watched, shoppers provided at least one justification for their choice to abandon the cart (see Figure 2).
Many invoked entitlement, sometimes mentioning an identity they believed exempted them from common decency. “I worked at Safeway for lots of years and people left their carts all the time,” one man said. Another explained his choice to leave his cart by saying, “After 40 years of working retail grocery, I’ve earned it.” Earned what, exactly? The right to not pick up after yourself?
There were those who cited physical limitations barring them from cart return. “I’m 72 years old. I can’t walk that far,” explained a man after pushing his cart to the furthest edge of the lot. Another shopper clarified her choice to leave the cart in the middle of a handicap parking spot by mentioning, “I’m handicapped myself.” And one woman, upon being confronted about leaving her cart, declared, “I have really bad vertigo,” before getting behind the wheel and driving away. To be clear: Disabilities deserve accommodation. But if you could push the full cart to your car, why couldn’t you return the empty one?
Other people were simply too busy to return their carts. “I’m over an hour late to my own kid’s birthday party,” revealed one hurried shopper. “We have somewhere we need to be,” another alleged, before spending the next eight minutes arguing with the Cart Narc about how he didn’t have time to return his cart. Some mentioned inconvenience. “Them carts don’t even roll,” one shopper complained, after going out of his way to dig the wheels of his cart straight into grass and dirt.
Many justified their behavior by invoking norms and pointing to other cart abandoners. “Everyone else puts them there,” one shopper said, leaving his cart with a gaggle of similarly unreturned ones. “The culture around here is doing it,” insisted another, as if not returning one’s cart were a local tradition. This reasoning—everyone else does it—pairs best with a juice box and a timeout. If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you?
Another type of excuse invoked other people by shifting responsibility (or blame) to others. Many shoppers pointed to their choice to leave the cart as a form of job stability or creation. “They pay someone to collect them all” explained one man. Another insisted that returning the cart is selfish because, “You’re putting someone out of a job.” It’s true that many stores do employ people to gather carts, but the job is to collect them from designated return areas—not to chase them down across the lot like loose cattle.
In some interactions I watched, people feigned ignorance. Like the woman who was unaware that carts shouldn’t be left on the curb: “I don’t kno

MAGA goes quiet on the "Epstein files"
By Tal Axelrod | November 12, 2025
https://www.axios.com/2025/11/12/maga-epstein-files-trump
Some of the biggest "Epstein files" fire-breathers from recent years were silent Wednesday after Democrats released a trove of new emails that included mentions of President Trump.
Why it matters: What started as a conspiracy-laden search for answers against the deep state has turned (for some) into a defensive posture to protect Trump from two of the right's biggest bogeymen — Democrats, and the media.
What they're saying: Mentions of Epstein were sparse across MAGA social media accounts and podcasts in the hours after the email dump.
Elon Musk, the billionaire X owner and on-again, off-again Trump ally, posted nothing Wednesday morning after lamenting in July over a supposed lack of transparency by the administration over the investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein.
Steve Bannon, the influential "War Room" host, did not discuss Epstein on the morning edition of his podcast after framing the push for Epstein disclosures in July as a core part of the fight against the "deep state."
Zoom out: "As soon as the legacy media suddenly started caring about it, and only about one person in particular, it became sus to MAGA," said The National Pulse's Raheem Kassam.
Attitudes started shifting when The Wall Street Journal reported in July that Trump wrote Epstein a birthday note saying "may every day be another wonderful secret" — inside the outline of a naked woman.
A picture of the note was later published to confirm the report, but MAGA's tide had already turned.
"I'd say MAGA/base looks at Democrats as corrupt and untrustworthy messengers, and anything they do damages credibility of the message," Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matt Boyle texted Axios. He noted Trump kicked Epstein out of his club before his crimes were known.
Catch up quick: Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails Wednesday in which Epstein, who died in prison in 2019, wrote that Trump "knew about the girls" and that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one victim.
Trump has denied any involvement in Epstein's crimes and said he and Epstein had a falling-out over unrelated issues.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that Democrats "selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump."
"The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they'll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they've done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap," Trump added in a Truth Social post.
Hours after Democrats released their documents, House Republicans released their own.

Cheap crap passed off as "REAL gold!" by Trump
Donald Trump appeared to deny speculation that the '24 karat gold' decorations in his revamped Oval Office came from Home Depot
Donald Trump showed off the '24-karat gold' decorations in his newly revamped Oval Office during a tour this week - and took the opportunity to swat down online rumors they came from Home Depot.
The president invited Fox News' Laura Ingraham for a walk-through of his redesigned White House while on a break from a sit-down interview.
He proudly pointed out the gilded details - which had been mocked online as resembling $58 trinkets from the hardware store - saying: 'You know one thing with gold? You can't imitate gold. There's no paint that imitates gold.'
The conservative host then directly asked the president: 'So these aren't, like, from Home Depot or something?'
'No, this is not Home Depot stuff. This is not Home Depot,' Trump replied.
Ingraham captioned the video on Facebook: 'In the Oval Office with President Trump and can confirm that it is REAL gold!'
The president has previously bragged about redecorating the Oval Office with '24 karat' gold spectacles, including gold medallions over the fireplace, Rococo mirrors hung over the doors, and golden eagles perched on the office side tables.
Nine months into his second term, the golden trinkets are more noticeable during visits from foreign leaders and press conferences.
Donald Trump appeared to deny speculation that the '24 karat gold' decorations in his revamped Oval Office came from Home Depot
Trump claimed he took care of the bill himself for these decorations without costing the American taxpayer a single cent. (No bill was shown to prove that Trump paid. No cancelled checks from Trump's bank account to prove how much he paid.)
However, recent social media posts suggest the decorations are sold by Home Depot as DIY accessories marketed as 'polyurethane appliqué' for $58.
The Daily Mail could not independently verify the claims in the report.

So Republican congressman Thomas Massie stands up for Epstein victims, and Trump immediately goes live on the air to say he's an "insurgent" who should be "taken out."
