Just realized the Europeans will be present to watch Joey Chestnut inhale 84 pork pistols on live television in honor of our nation’s independence.
That one will break them completely.

A depressing milestone: the First World War lasted 1568 days, but today (11 June) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine enters its 1569th day, with no sign of coming to an end. Donald Trump thought it would be so easy to stop, he could do it on his first day as US President.
🚨 BREAKING: Albania’s Anti-Trump Protests Have Now Entered Day 11.
What began as opposition to the Trump family’s proposed luxury development project has turned into nearly two weeks of sustained demonstrations.
First came the deal.
Then came the backlash.

@YahwehOrBust@Mr_Neutral_Man Wow. Did not know about this. Even in his salad days of insider trading, I doubt that Ivan Boesky himself got into casks of old single malt!
The cynical side of me worries this is about something else entirely. Aggressively cutting CISA's election security programs, the DOJ's Public Integrity Section, and firing a bunch of Inspectors General leaves far fewer independent eyes on the process right before midterms. Trump has systematically weakened watchdogs meant to check executive power.
If the real goal was election integrity, he'd install his own people instead of gutting the mechanisms that previously handled fraud claims & helped states secure systems. This makes me concerned about how disputes will be handled fairly, or whether anyone can credibly verify legitimacy when challenges arise
