I used to take car trips across multiple states without consulting the GPS a single time. I also used to have important phone numbers committed to memory without consulting my smart phone.

Just a simple soybean farmer, hoping the price per bushel gets up to the point where he can keep planting.

And let's get rid of those bothersome seatbelts, unneeded airbags, and clunky extra rearview mirrors. CHOICES!

Let's be fair. We can't honestly say that Trump was asleep. We only know that his eyes were closed, he was breathing deeply, and he was inattentive to his surroundings. I'm not a doctor, so I can't diagnose sleep.

One of my favorites. "Refund? . . .REFUND?" I throw in Hoosiers and ask, how can there be these two great sports movies from Indiana?

I remember Senator Graham trying to interfere with an election and claiming that his action was protected by the speech and debate clause. Kelly was just reminding people of the law. Yowsers!
Mark Kelly: “I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane [...] my wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head [...] I've been stressed by, you know, things more important than Donald Trump trying to intimidate me”

This reminds me of the time Sec of State Mike Pompeo challenged Mary Louise Kelly (another Kelly!) to locate Ukraine on an unlabeled map, then claimed that she pointed to somewhere in Asia. To this day I believe Mary Lousie got it right. Hang tough, Senator!
Hegseth says the first order of business when he recalls Mark Kelly to active duty for court-martial will be a uniform inspection.

If there's a crash test dummy that represents a 15 year-old female - please keep it away from Trump!

Scott Bessent, on Fox, said beef prices are high because immigrants from South America bring cattle with them as they come here, and that cattle is infected with disease. Bessent didn't explain - did they smuggle their cattle in luggage?

I find him - and his hypothesis - udderly ridiculous.

To be fair, he must have been struggling inside. There were cameras, and yet he somehow knew it would be inappropriate to give his usual thumbs up and $#!% eating grin. He was torn, I tell you!

Looks very familiar from when I had surgery. Time for John Oliver to call for the catheter cowboy.

And what's that at the left of the picture? A DJT pez dispenser? And why does it look like it has veins on the . . . (ahem) shaft?

Is she troubled? Does she think they've learned their lesson?

Paid protesters? I signed up to do this for free. But after the exhilaration I felt after the June event, I'd probably pay to take part again.
