Kid Rock, who clearly shops at the "Tacky Meth-heads Who Like Silly Costumes" outlet, really shouldn't open his stupid mouth to talk about how other people look.

And Laura Ingraham should never open her snarling mouth to talk about anything.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

“I turned on. I turned off.” Our president speaks like Chauncey Gardner: “I like to watch.” 🎮

a man in a suit and tie is talking about the garden

Alt: Peter Sellers as Chauncey Gardner of “Being There,” the besuited, simple-minded rich man’s valet-gardener taken by elites as an enigmatic wise man, seen sitting in front of a cozy fire saying, “The garden is a good garden.”

How did you manage to make this deal?

Well, I am a deal guy.

And what does that mean?

It means I say there is a deal, and then you report that there is a deal.

And what is in this deal?

That can be the subject of your next article, once we work it out.

Work what out?

You know. The deal.

Large group of customers saw the FBI at this pizza joint and noped the fuck out. A few other people seemed to steer clear as well. Has to be terrible for business.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

There's nothing at all wrong with being Palestinian, and using "Palestinian" in this way is deeply racist against Palestinians, but it is also antisemitic, because it defines Jewishness as something that can be granted and removed for political reasons.
