Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

I don't know of HE believes this - or even how much that matters (anymore).

What's ultimately concerning is that there's a LARGE segment of MAGA who *will* believe this, regardless of fact.

“I have filed a lot of FOIAs, and my requests to the Trump Department of Homeland Security have been some of the least successful and least transparent."

The "most transparent administration in history"? Not quite...

We ABSOLUTELY should have listened to Hill, Hillary & Harris. But to simply say "believe women" isn't right (I'm sorry)

Should we believe Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Laura Ingraham, Candace Owens, Karoline Leavitt, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Melania, Elise Stefanik, Kari Lake, Susie Wiles, Ann Coulter...

They're spinning this as a marketing fail but I think the real story is just that people are stupid as fucking rocks now fortune.com/2025/10/10/p...

Lay's drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn't know their chips were made out of potatoes | Fortune

New bags—matte-ified and designed to look like wood planks (like a potato crate)—will hold the chips with revamped ingredient lists.

For the life of me, I'll NEVER understand baseball "fans" who dislike extra innings - especially in the playoffs. Extra Innings are one of the things that makes baseball so unique! It's like every half inning is a Game 7. It's the height of tension, drama, excitement. It's FUN.
