Rand Paul out there sounding sane all the time because we’re living in the upside fucking down.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Yeah the Bluesky Crockett people are worse than KHive was on Twitter.
She's absolutely the wrong person to run for statewide office in Texas and no it's not just a color/gender thing.
Dems need to stop getting all enamored over any legislator who kicks up a fuss and makes them cheer.

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."
BARTIROMO: What are you expecting the president's economic message to be?
SEN. McCORMICK: I think the message is that we inherited a trainwreck from the Biden administration and we made a lot of progress

Yes, well, this isn't 1890 and the United States wasn't the pillar of the international order then that it is now.
"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" reports on countless incidents of illegal orders being given and followed. Treaties and laws were often meaningless. Instances where officers chose to disobey an illegal order usually didn't work out well for the officer. We're not as honorable as we pretend to be.

At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

Some people thought she was a bad choice for VP for this reason, among many others*

Replacing a black woman with a white man would have massively depressed base turnout.
Biden really should have thought about this when selecting her as running mate.

Yes, you can definitely save money at Walmart. If the high price of coffee (I swear it's up 40%) has you thinking of alternatives, you should try the Great Value brand coffee. It tastes a bit like how I imagine boiled dirt would taste, but it's much cheaper than McCafé (my fav) brand coffee.
