Because it's 2025, and most people in the US still don't know what their own military looks like...

~1 in every 7 US Marines nationwide, is from California.

~1 in every 4 US Marines nationwide, is Hispanic or Latino.

Vincent Price, with an armload of floofy cats. Two black, two grey-ish. Because he's Vincent Price, he's hamming it up like mad with a ridiculous scowl on his face.

Because sometimes, what you really need to see in this life is Vincent Price with an armload of extremely floofy cats.

Well, I do. Love that man.

His tarrifs are heavy, Signal leaking, deportations already
Fox news hosts in his cabinet you jelly?
He's racist, but on the surface, he looks orange and sweaty
Bomb Yemen? He forget that they did it already
When he walks out, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but only lies come out

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho *cared* that his country was suffering.

He eagerly sought intelligent advice and let it change his mind. He was held to account by a vigorous legislature.

For us, today, Idiocracy might as well be The West Wing.

Wife: I don't wanna get up.

Me: ... They're your kids...

Y’all ever do that thing where you realize something you’re about to do has a low probability of success, and also realize the cost of changing course is low, but end up saying β€˜fuck it, this is the path I’m on, lets see what the fates have in store for me!’?

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Bold of you to assume IBM can execute that quickly on literally anything.

Despite their best efforts, they can’t even go out of business that quickly.
