12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

He and his people have decimated our ability to adequately defend this country. One well-placed strike and our country, possibly the whole world, is over in a couple of hours.

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

Translation of the letter sent from Venezuela to the United Nations. Apologies if the translation is not exact. And to be clear, Venezuela, we Americans do not want war. We are dealing with a mad king.

I was one of those people who thought sadism, sociopathy and utter inhumanity would be disqualifying characteristics for election to the nation's highest office. I still believe the expanding expression of those characteristics should be disqualifying to continue in the nation's highest office.

Me neither.
I’m not watching the speech tonight.
I don’t want to hear that child rapist lie about the economy-we know the truth.
I don’t want to hear him as he justifies dragging us into war, killing innocent people.
I don’t want to hear him defend ICE.
He stole our healthcare.

The founders of the United States never took into account that a man like Donald Trump would come along. They also never imagined that Congress would so willingly give up their power to such a man, nor that the Supreme Court would enable such a man. 🗽

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."
