Somebody should make a FOIA request for them.

This would be a controversial comic if it were released today, due to all of the controversy around the idea of vicious breeds.

Edit: Well, I tried to word my comment so that it would be about the comic and wouldn't elicit this sort of discussion, but I guess I failed.

This idea in particular seems inconvenient to me, but there may be people who would prefer something like this.

I had a very small apartment when I lived in Japan, and honestly, I really liked it for the most part. It was a bit bigger than what I think they're saying in this article, though.

Honestly, it is such an obvious lie, too. Can companies really just lie in their filings to the FTC?

You have forgotten about the currency that Trump usually deals in, something called "quid pro quo."

This is the real answer.

CBS not fact checking gives the liar a strong advantage.

The moderators not fact checking is fine for things like debate competitions because the judges are experts.

But in a public debate, an opponent even responding to a lie legitimizes the lie. "Of course he'd say that."

When a candidate lies and the facts are readily available to the moderators, it is imperative for the public good that they fact check.

Trump, a main draw for Truth Social users and many retail investors in the company, said earlier in September that he will not sell his stake. The stock price briefly shot up after his remarks.

Other early investors have made no such promises. They include ARC Global, a sponsor of the blank-check firm that took Trump Media public, and United Atlantic Ventures, an entity controlled by two former contestants on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”

I believe it's not only that these investors made no promises not to sell, but that several of them specifically expressed that they would be selling as soon as they were legally allowed to do so.

It's hard to accurately value Truth Social. But I think if Trump were to leave the platform, its value would go to zero, and that makes it very risky. I just saw a price of 12.74. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still quite overvalued, and so it makes sense for those investors to try to sell at this price.

The "lie" that is one of the foundations that all modern medical science is based on?

I agree with you. Imagine being that guy and thinking that scientists are pretending to do research and lying to the public for zero benefit.

One idea is to look at what kinds of weeds want to grow there, and plant desirable plants that look similar to the weeds.
