I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.

If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.

Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

Dear Virginia:

I voted today.

What are you waiting on?

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there?

Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff."

You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. Itโ€™s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

U.S. Lost 32,000 Jobs in September, Says Payroll Processor The ADP report showed a labor force that continues to deteriorate.

โ€œThe surprise job loss in September is the latest sign that the labor market is weakening. Job growth has slowed to a trickle this yearโ€ฆโ€

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I donโ€™t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didnโ€™t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

This isn't entirely right -- as people in the replies noted, Sen. Mike Lee didn't ignore the assassinations, he just told jokes about it online and ludicrously blamed the far left.

Top FEMA official resigns after staffers ousted for negative Charlie Kirk comments Employees have been warned their social media posts could impact employment.

New from me โ€” Thereโ€™s been a lot of ink spilled since Charlie Kirk's murder about the "right" way to honor his death. Getting liberals fired from their jobs and forcing devoted civil servants to resign in disgust couldnโ€™t be a more fitting tribute to his life.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a foolโ€ฆ

I think my biggest takeaway was that this film was CLEARLY an allegory with Biblical themes (easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle) PLUS referential to source material.

I'm not familiar but with ALL of Kurosawa, I just know his work is so universal you see it referenced A LOT.

I saw "Highest 2 Lowest" last night with my wife, and I'd REEEEALLY like other people's takes on it.

I think it's a film school student's cornucopia of references. I also think A$AP Rocky has quite an acting career ahead of him.

Black ppl do not have the power to drop a single bomb anywhere on the planet. Hell, there are no nuclear weapons on the whole continent of Africa. Yet, for someone reason, we are constantly being barraged with demands to do more to help people who are being bombed by other folks. Why is that?

Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal.

If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

overheard one of the other customers say they found this shop by using ChatGPT. I know people use it for a lot of mundane shit, but asking an Internet robot to pick out a TATTOO ARTIST for you feels so perverse, I truly canโ€™t wrap my head around it

This is really evil, demented, panicky stuff--just psychotic behavior from a sitting president, including the mid-thought digression about decorating--and political reporters and major media whose take on it is "You know, that's just how he is" should be viewed as his willing courtiers.

The Epstein story isn't going anywhere. Mike Johnson can recess all he wants, it'll be there when he gets back.

BREAKING:

Mike Johnson just canceled votes for Thursday and is sending the House home early for summer recess in order to shut down Democratic efforts to demand more votes on releasing the Epstein files.

Hunter Biden is simply saying all of the things his parents canโ€™t say publicly and everything most of us were already thinkingโ€ฆand hoping some got damn body would give voice to. Thatโ€™s why it resonates. Props to Hunter Biden.

That interview Hunter gave was FUCKING outstanding. He said what all of us have been feeling. Meanwhile, Senator Schiff is posting Pro-Reagan memes and the party wonders why they poll so poorly.
