When I was about 20, I drank 24 Coors Lights in one night. My friends & I had a contest only someone that young would be dumb enough to attempt. I can't imagine drinking that volume of any liquid & putting 24 tacos on top of it. Maybe 6 beers & 6 tacos every 7.75 hours? With diuretic & laxative?

I need someone to ask Shauna Green about the routine with her necklace. Watch her when BTN comes back with 4:06 left in the 4Q of the Iowa/Illinois WBB game.

Do college WBB refs get a bounty for calling a charge? When Ava Heiden steps on the floor, opposing players flop.

Calling Lauren Boebert a clown is unfair to clowns.

Art's words in the context of the major news networks being snatched up by oligarchs should frighten every American. Yesterday, we learned that Trump's cronies have forced Netflix to drop their bid for Warner Bros in faver of a Trump crony.

It's Orwell's Ministry of Truth.

The administration that laundered $500M in crypto currency through foreign interests and has the head of the FBI & the head of DHS partying on private jets is looking for fraud in Minnesota?

Republican voters have been convinced that Reagan's deregulation was universally good. In fact, it was driven by oligarchs who wanted zero restraint on their ability to lie, cheat & steal.

Congrats! Most corporate media is now propaganda.

To my neighbors in Colorado's 4th district,

Your representative's word means nothing. Republicans refused to let the Clintons testify publicly. Why? They agreed there'd be no pictures.

Instead of denying voting rights to minorities, we should target stupid people who think this woman is clever.

He's also shocked that:

- women are allowed to vote
- minorities are allowed to vote
- women & minorities are allowed to be the bosses of white men
- wives are allowed to disagree with their husbands

Our network has been down for almost 8 hours. This is our 5th extended outage in about 8 months. Search for the most hated companies in America. There's a reason Comcast is on the list.

I blame Comcast for the second one. Our internet is down again (the 5th time in a year). As I typed that post, I was texting with my wife to set up a second Hotspot to separate her work traffic from my ability to play.

Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimatesβ€”

πŸ’°His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion

πŸ’°Eric’s has increased tenfold, to $400 million

πŸ’°Don Jr.’s has increased sixfold, to $300 million

I believe it. Many of the farmers I went to school with did very little of the school work. That's why they're so early duped.

The shit Fox has convinced them that Dems believe is both frightening & sad.
