Reading all these posts makes me glad to be a Twins fan when our post season angst stopped in like June.

Not as good as John Cena dancing, but still pretty good

When my father passed, I was told by a friend "you never get over it, but you do get used to it" and that has stuck with me for the past 30 years he's been gone.

May her memory be a blessing.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

We can still take solace in the ketchup smeared walls in Florida though!

Can you really lose something you were not in contention to win in the first place?

Its like saying I lost the Boston Marathon when I was actually on my couch half a continent away when it took place.

🎵 Kristi played a tough guy
Cuz she liked to shoot her dog
Then she lost the Portland war
To a hoppy dancing frog

🎵 They were all in love with Trumpin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

🎵 Stephen got with Katie
Katie got Elon
She would be on Elon's outlook
On the topic of the con
JD had a couch fling
And Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with Trumpin'
They were doing it in places

I don't know anything about the person who DID win the Nobel Peace Prize, so not gonna say anything one way or another about them.

But I do know a lot about one person who DIDN'T win the Nobel Peace Prize, and I hope there was a lot of ketchup on hand at Mar-A-Lago last night.

Does he have to take care of the horse ranch? Or does he have heavenly ranch hands? Is that a reward for someone in heaven, to be cleaning up horse shit for Charlie Kirk's heaven horse? Is it a regular horse, or a heaven horse? And was Jesus on the same horse? Or does Jesus have his own ranch?

Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 1d

A tearful Kim Robinson reports that God showed her that Charlie Kirk was rewarded with a horse ranch in Heaven and she saw "Charlie riding on a horse, with Jesus."

Are these pre-tax like the Soros checks, or post-tax like the antifa checks?

Obviously you give the Peace Prize to the guy that will declare tariff war on your country if you do not give him the Peace Prize.

CNN: Marjorie Taylor Greene says Republicans have no healthcare solutions. What do you say to her?

REP. PETE SESSIONS: She needs a couple more years in office and she would learn that we do have ideas on the table

Was there some property damage? Yes. Was it confined to a few city blocks? Yes.

And then they later found out the man that initially initiated the rioting to begin with was an out of state POS racist:

Man who helped ignite George Floyd riots identified as white supremacist: Police

A masked umbrella-wielding man helped incite riots and looting in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd's death, police said.

Scalise: "When a good day for you is defined by how much suffering you can impose on other people, maybe you need to look in the mirror and check yourself at the door and wonder what it is you're up here trying to accomplish."

Whenever I see someone citing the Bible as a basis for anything, I always think of this @pattonoswalt.bsky.social take:

Dear people citing The Bible: It’s a cool book with some wonderful passages but it also has ghost sex & giants & super babies & demons. It’s why we don’t make laws based on Game of Thrones, My Little Pony or Legend of Zelda." - Patton Oswalt via Twitter

So then for acute care does that mean they have to go to the big bad scary murder cities?

SCARBOROUGH: The Nebraska Rural Health Association says at least 6 rural hospitals would have to close bc of the big beautiful bill

FLOOD: Here's the deal: Some hospitals that are rural hospitals are going to eventually have to transition from being acute bed hospitals into being an ER model

Then the host asks if there is an actual plan that people could read now.

Johnson says they've published things in the past and Trump really wants it done.

So No.

The answer to that question is no.

This clip is 2:25 minutes. It takes 7 seconds for caller to ask his question, "What is your plan to fix Obamacare?"

Johnson then takes 1:38 minutes detailing what they think is wrong with Obamacare and that they have "ideas" but does not give one concrete solution.

Not one.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

C-SPAN CALLER: What is your plan to fix Obamacare?

MIKE JOHNSON: Great question. There's a lot of improvement that's needed. Obamacare did not do what was promised. We gotta fix that. In the big beautiful bill we reformed Medicaid.

Trump always promising he is gonna make a health care plan that is better and more affordable reminds me of the Steve Martin joke of how to make a million dollars and never pay taxes:

First, make a million dollars.
Second, don't pay taxes.

So easy!
