This really is the energy of it.

Incredible Trump locutions here. "They got a little bit surprised and were owned, our brave men. They got owned severely, but sometimes it's like that,"

Claude is short for Jean Claude Van Damme. Are you saying Jean Claude Van Damme does not have consciousness? Because I agree with you.

Same impulse. Life finds a way.

I loved AJ being like "Padma yelling at me, my dream came true." He was right and he was right to say it.

I have an investment to protect

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

I've been thinking about the Rangers' decision to display One Riot, One Ranger, and what it says about who this team is for. So I wrote about that. It's a big ol' bummer.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Exciting stuff, because just given how he thinks and what he cares about Trump's version of Paul Bremer is going to be Dean Cain.

You're absolutely right—that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leaders—they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.
