So Americans don't deserve SNAP and Medicaid and should get a job but we can spend $18 million a day to keep drugs away from those that can't control their drug use? Just pointing out the lack of logic.

I wonder if Kristi Noem will threaten MLB for letting Canadians play in the World Series 🤔
Better make sure ICE is there to handle any "snowbacks."

Wild guess on why consumer spending was higher than expected in Q2. Also up in Q2 was consumer debt. Folks are trying to get ahead of tariff induced inflation. Who didn't go buy something while you still could?

Josh Hammer in the @latimes.com "Op Ed" section claims the fringe right are "bad faith opportunists" advancing their bad faith crusades while using hate speech, i.e. the word transgenderism at the same time. Magapocrisy at it's finest.

Perhaps maga argues so vociferously about the second amendment so they can easily skip past the first.

I think people opposed to marriage equality can't wrap their heads around the argument of being allowed to marry for *love*.

Is the White House hosting a Boy Scout Jamboree?

Some folks are easily convinced a person will get gender reassignment surgery to get access to women in public bathrooms but turn around and say people should comply with unmarked strangers who could purchase in one trip to Walmart the gear to pretend to be law enforcement in order to commit crimes.
Now more than ever, people are impersonating ICE agents to cover up criminal actions and thuggish behavior, writes Naomi Bethune.

ICE Impersonations Proliferate Amid the Agency’s Undercover Tactics
Pretending to be an ICE agent to commit crimes is disturbingly easy.

Those who live and breathe hypocrisy missing the biggest irony of all is par for the course.

It's worrying that some of Biden’s aides questioned his competency, but it’s terrifying that none of Trump’s ever have.

Call me boomer, but the new Samsung OS gave the world a "much needed" volume setting PER alarm, essentially silencing them all until you set them. This is why I still have an alarm ⏰️. 🙄 Is there a Moore's law to describe the increase in inefficacy in tech?

Welp, Sundays are ruined. The @latimes.com OP-ED section seems to be devoid of any sort of journalism today. If I wanted speculation and pablum, I'd tune in to cable news.

I cannot believe the new divots now in my night guard from 2025 alone. Worse than covid when I thought I might crack a tooth, I was grinding my teeth so badly.

If your level of accusatory, suspicious, and unforgiving rhetoric towards your political opposition is diametrically opposed to your obsequious, unquestioning, sycophantic faith in your own party, do us all a favor and STHU. Plank in your own eye as it were.

Kamala promised support for those of us caring for our elders. I workout 6 times a week (2 intense), yet my fitbit recognizes the hard work it takes to help out my 91yo mom. We quit our jobs and do it for free. Now I have to check her bank to make sure her SSI arrives in time to cover her mortgage 🙁

It seems to me that all the anti-facsi...Uh, center left, folks are headed to YouTube as a TikTok backup because Meta sucks in every way possible. Google, having changed the name of the gulf (way to obey 🙄), has a choice. You gonna be Target, or you gonna be Costco?

WTF do democrats keep talking about avocados when discussing tariffs on Mexico? Are big importers like Ford wanting you to hush on how un-American their cars are? I don't care. I live in a port town, maritime business employs twice as many Americans as manufacturing. Be honest. Otherwise, shut up.
