Let's go! That's one of the most fun things to unlock. More Balatro content please! Maybe compare each Wolves roster player to a Joker from the game. See how their synergies match up.

Just heard to expect Yallqaeda Gestapo ramp up in the Twin Cities in a few weeks. What do you want to bet there will be references to that horseshit Rick Kupchella and Liz Collin propoganda piece?

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.
