People say that circumcision doesn't hurt, but I disagree. I was circumcised when I was born and l couldn't walk for over a year.

Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act.

A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.

Good news Ashlii Babbitt has been clean and sober for 1594 days

Maxwell Frost @maxwellfrost.bsky.social · May 20

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.
