It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to β€œwhat would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and β€œwhat would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and β€œwhat would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

β€œthe cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

Our allies in Israel have shown amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran. America is most appreciative.
However, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous ayatollah's regime.
In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavor.

As it is revealed it was very likely an American missile that struck the girls school in Iran, Senator Lindsey Graham chides Israel for not being selective enough of their targets.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

DOJ Releases Interview With Woman Who Claimed Both Trump and Epstein Sexually Assaulted Her as a Minor The Justice Department released several FBI documents on Thursday describing interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her as a minor.

DOJ releases interviews with girl Trump allegedly raped after others found them and pointed out the government unlawfully withheld them.

DOJ's explanation for why they withheld the interviews? They were "duplicative."

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Sauron has announced that Saruman will be moved to the newly created Committee for Everlasting Peace on Middle Earth.

The Witch King will be taking over Saruman’s duties as head of the Department of Orcs.

Both have been thanked for their service.

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back. People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.

In 1971, the LA Dept. of Airports still had high hopes that an international airport would be built in Palmdale.

This promo is like something out of The Simpsons. Left to right, you have busy LAX, then Ontario, then regional Van Nuys, then bare-ass tumbleweed desert in Palmdale.
