If this doesn't look like an attempt for some sort of world dominance, I don't know what would. We cannot allow this to be a sideways war, pitting Conservative vs Liberal. The common cause is up and down. These pricks all have tons of money. They don't give a shot about any of us and truly don't

If there are any companies interested in having someone other than Kevin Hart pitch their products on TV, my DM's are open.
Thanks for your consideration.

Serious question: What happens to these abandoned vehicles and property?
None of this shit seems to be documented in the streets, only during check-in.
There's a lot of stuff to steal out there and I bet the "good guys" are making bank.
RESIST!!

They didn't have a parking pass last time. They're planning.

This is all so fucking stupid.

They watch the TV at the commissary, which happens to be stuck on FOX.
They don't know half of what's going on.
Biggest issues in the world over there are Bad Bunny & Bruce Springsteen. Had a man and a woman each bitch about both during my weekly poker game.
These people don't inhabit our planet.

They didn't add the 2nd batter's name to the graphic until after the 1st pitch. I'm in a loud room. Stuff like that matters. Give the basics first and build out from there.

I started in '84.
Went to a Met's banner day in 1988 with a banner that read:
Bush? Dukakis?
Mets in '88!!
They used to let you parade in the outfield with banners on a promotion day.
They held us up for quite a while trying to figure out if it was political or not!

I strongly urge everyone to vote against Republican Candidates up and down every single ballot no matter how inconsequential the office or election is.
This Party needs to wither on the vine as it should.
Unattended, unfed, unwatered, uncared for, undervalued, abandoned, discarded, and forgotten.

Don't know if the Wyatt version made it Stateside, or at least I don't remember it at all. (Just read up on it being the first and all that. I didn't know any of the history.)

I didn't recognize the song at first, then suddenly I was on You Tube watching the Elvis version.
I prefer Elvis on this one....

Government seems to function exactly the same whether they are in session or not.
Executive this, executive that. Nothing to do but give press conferences either praising or complaining about what's going on.
They're just making the post Covid transition to Work From Home now.
RESIST!!

Trumps are experts at being experts.
No substance, just judgment and expertise.

I call on every billionaire, every living president and vice president, every retired general, and every Supreme Court justice-past and present. I call on CEOs and union leaders, Nobel laureates and educators, clergy and cultural icons, scientists and veterans, grassroots organizers and artists.

My question is always does Tim Burchett believe what he says?
They are all so cornpoked that I'd believe they believe anything.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

The Presidency isn't supposed to be "Hey Court, can I fuck these people over? Need an answer quick."
It's supposed to be a slog as you win votes etc. Now he just decrees and somehow it's okay?
