o what they said they would from the start: total victory, change the reality on the ground forever. And they will certainly have control over that territory for the foreseeable future if not forever. So apparently Trump is not happy that the TikTok deal is not getting approved by China, and China quite wisely is holding back on that because they don't have a trade deal yet. So it's just part of…

anybody can game those numbers by at least 1.5 million and get away with it. Really guys, settle down. All right. So don't believe any of the job numbers. Don't believe any of the economic numbers.

James Carville is advising the Democrats that they've got to save democracy in 2028. If or if they ever get back in power, that they should immediately add two new states, DC and Puerto Rico, so they could get extra Democrats in the Senate and Congress in general.

But certainly they tried to lawfare him into jail for the rest of his life. So it seems to me that if you tried to jail the president, the ex-president, and if they could they would have jailed him as president, if you're willing to do that with just totally made-up BS lawfare, then it's not really a big stretch to pack the Supreme Court. So I do believe them when they say they might do it.

Well, he says the state needs new quote progressive revenue options. What do you th…
