I now think the best explanation for Trump is simply that Hillary and Kamala were deeply, deeply unlikable people.

The unfortunate thing about laws that protect tenants is that the people it protects are often the most psychotic, narcissistic, petty grifting group of malingerers and scoundrels imaginable.

Democrats should really consider getting on board with self-driving cars, I don't think the alliance with the Teamsters is paying large dividends.
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

Around 1500, Hieronymus Bosch painted sheet music on a sinner's bare butt in hell. 500 years later, someone transcribed and performed it. Now you can hear the original butt song from hell.

When I see young people at a dark, glamorous bar, I want to tell them, “This feels like a long chapter, but it’s going to be one of the shortest in the book.
This might be a good point if she was the mom that raised Amy Acton. But she is in fact the mom that abandoned Amy Acton when she was 12 years old, and never saw her again.
The very big lie being pushed by @amyactonoh liberals this week:
The mom that raised you going on TV to tell the world you're a liar and you always has been means nothing. Further, allowing the mother to speak is somehow sexist and supporting woman being abuse.

I've never really understood the disdain for Vivek Ramaswamy. The new ad with Amy Acton's abusive mom has fixed that. If I were an Ohioan, that alone would be enough to swing my vote. No normal, well-adjusted human being with a basic understanding of social cues would do that.

The core fiscal issue in DC is that spending is on a trajectory that was set during the 15-year population boom that ran from 2004-2019.
The top consideration in every issue — both tax and non-tax — should be how to return to that strong growth trend.

"First time offender court" -- all ages -- is a much better concept than a juvenile court segregated by some arbitrary age.

This is an example of waste fraud and abuse in government spending & why instead of a tax increase roundtable the council should be conducting a massive audit of the government, starting today.

Yes, the violence interrupters & Cure the Streets have never achieved their mission; there was no data to support claims of success. The DC auditor released a report years ago.
