Jared got 2 Billion Dollars from the Saudis. He can't loan his father in law a measly 25% of that?

Maybe Ivanka needs to get on her knees and beg him to help.
Or maybe Ivanka just isn’t that into Daddy.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump announces Merrick Garland will be his pick for Attorney General.

“He’s the perfect pick. A pick like you’ve never seen picked. Some people are saying, the most perfect pick in the million years that people have been picking people. If foot dragging was an Olympic sport, he would be a 10 time Gold Medalist.”

Or not.

I give up trying to look at DU on my iPad. Anybody else?

I give up trying to look at DU on my iPad. Anybody else?
I’ve happily used my iPad for years while lounging in my recliner or just before I go to sleep at night, but now the ads have just taken over completely. There’s no way I can even see the title of the posts. I took a screenshot but it doesn’t even show the new thing where on the very little text I can see suddenly new ads appear in that part of the page and obliterate everything.
Is anybody else having this problem or am I the only one or did you find a workaround? Thanks for any help!
Oh well, can’t post screenshots I guess, maybe someone knows what I’m talking about.
I know, I know, pay for no ads but I’m 72 years old trying to keep life going by working 7 days a week delivering things, my cat suddenly has 2 tumors and my dog is WAY past his $60 visit to the groomer. They come first

I can always get all the legit news from Tik Tok! Not ranting, just missing my DU daily dose.

DU homepage is just blank on my desktop, 2 days now. Anyone else?

I peruse DU on my desktop in the morning, with coffee, but for 2 days now, the homepage shows up as normal for about 3 seconds, then everything disappears, except all the surrounding stuff, and of course the ads come through strong!
All the stuff in the center of the screen, like "trending now" and "breaking news" just go totally blank.
I can see DU correctly on my phone and on my iPad. I've logged in and out, etc, it just doesn't work.
All other sites I regularly visit, and any new sites, etc, on my desktop work completely as normal.
Anyone else experiencing this, or know any tips or tricks to view DU like I always have?
Thanks

Just my paranoia or is tfg signaling something to his magaminions? I felt sick when I heard this

I heard this snippet on the night of the interview, and thought surely I would read about it later, but never saw a thing.
We know that he sends subliminal instructions to his zombies, and personally, that's how I took this.

I wasted a Saturday morning going over this 46 minutes of excruciating bullshit multiple times but I finally found it. I've saved the point in the interview when he says it, around 39:20. But no matter what, somehow the "video at current time" thing on YT just doesn't work inside this message, however if you copy and paste into a new page it will work correctly, sorry for the problem.
But you can just go to 39:20 and see it, if this post only shows the video from the start.
There's been uproar over all kinds of much lesser things he's spewed, I can't help it but this really worries me...just a straight up, flat out declarative statement, with a pause before he continues, to let it sink in, of what he needs his people to make happen.

What is the actual issue in reversing Roe v Wade? Is it murder? Help me out here.

In trying to do some research, the key phrase I come up with in articles about is "According to the opinion, abortion is “fundamentally different” because it destroys fetal life."
So, do they mean it's murder? Manslaughter? What would the actual crime be called?
The reason I ask is that there appears to be no statute of limitations on murder, and varying amounts of years for manslaughter, so can they go after women years after the "crime"? If they can, it's gonna be chaos, especially as people hopefully turn in all the fundamentalist females who had abortions. (I'm not saying that vindictively, I'm saying fair is fair.)
I really don't know any of the answers here, I've lived the last 50 years of my life not even ever having to wonder about it.
My heart goes out to all who will be affected by this.

Sorry if this is a repost. Seriously WTF? We have replaced actual bare knuckles politics with snarky

tweets and can't figure out why things are slipping into darkness?!!?!?
Bring back the likes of Tip O'Neill or for cripes sake LBJ and let's get things DONE.
My governor Gavin Newsom just weighed in with pretty much the same thoughts.
Personally, I feel that EVERY SINGLE OUNCE OF OUR LEGISLATIVE ENERGY has to go to voting rights, voting rights and voting rights.
THEN and only then can we begin to work on other things, but when everyone can vote, sooooooooo many things are going to begin getting fixed just by that alone.

Anyone familiar with "WION" and "Gravitas plus"?

I pretty much only watch YouTube anymore on TV.
Mainly because I’m way more interested in scale model building, painting miniatures, creating dioramas,etc, than I am in any scripted programs. I like to make things in my spare time.
So, YouTube constantly also sends all kinds of various other shows on my Home Screen or whatever their term is, and lately I’ve been watching something new called WION (not sure what that stands for) and something that seems to be related called Gravitas or Gravitas plus. They seem to be sort of like CNN, but I think based in India.
I’m wondering if they are known for any disinformation or slanted stories. I’m a fairly well read and educated individual, traveled the world and generally can sniff out BS, but curious about them. They seem to be, in my so far limited viewing, pretty much no nonsense and generally not pulling any punches reporting world news. Almost like CNN on truth serum.😊
Of course I might be way off. Any knowledgeable info would be appreciated.
