They canโ€™t agree on how to fix it? Hell, they canโ€™t agree on whether they should even try

Stealing the cash from a taco stand is so on-brand from ICE. Itโ€™s the kind of folks they are.

Under the GOP, working class MAGAs get bigotry, guns, and religion, but they lose money. The 1% get money, including that lost by the working class.

Someone needs to get a good-quality picture of this silly-assed peace prize and publish it so people can 3D print copies. Will make great gag gifts!

What Cotton is doing is trying to appeal to the MAGA in hopes that he will be the new leader when Trump finally kicks off. I doubt even he believes a word he is saying.

I can understand Kegsbreath giving a โ€œno prisonersโ€ order; heโ€™s that kind of guy. But I cannot grasp that a chain of command of professional Navy officers would transmit or obey that order and nobody said โ€œwait, thatโ€™s illegalโ€

Newsom is certainly not the only viable candidate, but he is the one who is doing the best job of mocking and trolling Trump. It doesnโ€™t qualify him for higher office but it is kind of fun.

You know how many funny stories there are about stupid people in Alabama? About 3. All those other stories are true.

A pubber administration told us there were WMDโ€™s in Iraq, and look what that got us. Now an even worse pubber administration is telling us about Venezuelan drug boats heading for the US. Nope, I gotta have a lot more evidence than their say-so.

Infantino is about as crooked as Trump, but he understands how to keep Trump happy. Trump could be a major problem for the tournament and silly shit like this is a cheap way to buy his cooperation.

I proposed a rule at my gym that if you caught someone scrolling while sitting at a machine you could drop a 5-lb dumbbell on their foot. For some reason my idea was not well-received.

All sitting Dems should be terrified of the upcoming primary season, and progressives should be preparing challenges from coast to coast.

Itโ€™s not just the Canadians, either. Most of Europe is avoiding the US out of either anger or fear. Gonna be real interesting seeing what happens in the World Cup. Hopefully Canada and Mexico will be swamped with visitors!

Itโ€™s one thing during the primaries. Itโ€™s another in the actual election. If you didnโ€™t vote or voted 3rd party because of a single issue, then you have no right to complain about any of the other issues

85% of our population has no freakinโ€™ idea of what socialism really means. It is the most deliberately twisted word in our politics
