MTG is full of shit. She had one last chance at immunity for naming names, and she blew it like ... nevermind, it seems like her level of classy to make an analogy along those lines.

Have you every written a last-minute essay on 30 minutes of sleep and only later realized it was nothing but unfounded, nonsensical rambling?
Just add racism, and you have a Stephen Miller post.

The Onion (@theonion.com) has hit another homer with this one.
Chump pardoned Ross Ulbricht and Juan Orlando Hernández.
It doesn't take a FauxNews to see that it was not about drugs. And, they intentionally don't.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The US has, by magnitudes, the strongest military in the world. It does not need to bully small countries to prove it can do what it wants.
It is not a show of force to attack Maduro, no matter how much he "deserved" it. It is a distraction and capitulation to billionaires.
Chump is a weakling.

I am still amazed at the number of people supporting the autocracy of a feeble, obese, old man who, statistically, could die any day.
They must all assume they are the heir-apparent.

Definitely, we should make a Jeopardy-like cognitive quiz show to start debates and keep flashing scores whenever they respond (read: "not answer") questions.

I think there is a portion of people who still support Trump only for head-in-the-sand reasons.
They do not want to admit they supported the guy who:
1) Is, in fact, a criminal.
2) Raped children.
3) Is bad for the economy.
4) Killed their team.
Or, maybe I am just hopeful. (I have MAGA family.)

Oh, dang. I do not watch American football, but this is weird.

Trumps is like a kid that goes to the park, has someone steal a basketball for him, and then writes his name on it so he can say, "See? It's mine. I am one of the greatest basketball players of all time."

I made the mistake of putting cinnamon sugar on a buttered piece of toast. The toast was "everything" style, evidently.
Toasted onion, seeds of some kind, and cinnamon sugar combined are a viscious assault on flavor. On decency.
And, we don't negotiate with terrorists.
