This
has been circulating online as 'proof' that Trump was simply restoring the original name. Not only has Snopes found it to be a digitally altered version of an actual French map from 1688, the culprit who did the alteration seems not to have known that a French-speaking cartographer would have spelled it 'Lac Amerique'.

The Republican Mid-Term Convention ('Trumpapalooza') kicked off in Dallas, Texas. After failing to sell enough tickets priced at $20 000/$10 000/$5000 to fill the venue, the organizers began giving them away via lottery. By the start of the convention, they had filled 1000 seats.
The venue seats 20 000.

A Trump supporter with a trucking company begs Trump to end the war in Iran and get gas/diesel prices down because he can’t afford to run his business.
His conclusion is, and I quote: “Sometimes I think it was better to let Iran have a nuke. Because they were just going to hit New York anyway. We don’t need New York.”
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

These people will never learn that the Mango Madman will never have a single fuck to give for them. They voted for him, they got what they voted for, and while I'll admit to some schadenfreude, I really can't take that much enjoyment from it because the people who
didn't support him are suffering as well.

The fucker obviously cares for nothing but his own well-being. The laugh is on him because that it is exactly how Trump feels too.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Even though he's actually
told them so.
Quote:"The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon," Trump continued. "I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all."

Another MAGA Oopsie
Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el-Sayed attacked his Republican opponent Mike Rogers for voting to twice deny healthcare to 9/11 first responders, a claim which Rogers branded 'a lie.' And so it was. The Detroit Metro published a report showing that Rogers had voted against the measure not twice, but nine times.
el-Sayed issued an apology for getting the number wrong.
