Companies need to make this painful for politicians who do things like this. Companies that sell acetaminophen in Texas, name brand or generic, should immediately pull their products off the shelves until this is settled. Maybe they'll listen to their angry and in pain citizens. Doubtful though.

Why do I see Miller and Gollum pops into my head?

We're living in the absolute stupidest time line. Can we reset back about 25 years and try again?

Evidence for the ICC.

We used to be a serious country.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

When is a reporter/journalist going to have the intestinal fortitude to ask one of these toadies if they really believe the crap coming out of their mouth? Enough with letting them spout BS.

Well, darn. Anyway...

This is why we must assume anything agreed upon to reopen the government will immediately be ignored.

I don't like this ride anymore, let me off.

Excuse my skepticism, but the GOP is never going to lose control of the presidency if a concerted play does not take place now. Attempting to wait it out does not appear to be working.

@rhettshull.bsky.social causing "good trouble".

It's almost like he has no idea what he is doing.

Maybe he should stick his finger in a light socket and see if that somehow sparks some intelligence.

Can't wait for the first time someone gets sent to the principal's office for reciting the Shahada instead of the lord's prayer. Some passive-aggressive high schooler could become famous.

Somehow wires will get crossed and it will come out that the War Department is moving to space and no one will attempt to correct him.

Sorry, but I would have to take my Article 15 for disobeying an order.

"I was just following orders" can never be an acceptable response!

When he says "we will out breed them" he wasn't specifically meaning himself.

A child! This is the point where all rules go out the window and someone gets throat punched.

That's the equivalent of "ran when parked" when listing vehicles on Facebook market place.

I cannot wait for the day when every person around that table meets karma face to face. And I hope karma gives them exactly what they deserve.

Pre-war? Is that like pre-crime? I don't think that worked out in the movie.

I too wear a stainless steel mechanical watch everyday. It's a symbol of craftsmanship as much as a fashion accessory. Might not be a Rolex or Omega, but they are real watches.

Are we doing the "legal-illegal" thing again? Or is that just another talking point?

Who is this "we" he keeps talking about?

There are still those who will fall back on the "You're just trying to scare us" to this very day.

"...based on modern day facts and figures..." roughly translates to "what makes me happy".

When do we start sharpening the guillotines?
