Iowa’s Joni Ernst won’t seek reelection next year.
Iowa boars cross their hind legs in terror!
Bad news for Iowa boars!
I can't help you there. Weirdos are wired to see problems everywhere they look.
Let me fix that for you: If only the draft dodger, Mr. 34 Felonies, the Mango Mussolini, and his filthy-rich cronies in the Grand Old Pedophiles had not turned over We the People's Department of Education to a brain-damaged, roid-ragin' rasslin' queen. Look at that horse face, will ya? Whoa, Nellie!
Clearly, your grandma-porn loving homie's momma and your mommy too, failed to drown their dumb babies. Society as a whole suffers from their charity. But, hey, inbreeding is a darn shame. The next time your get obese butt out of the basement, say hi to your grandpa, er daddy for us
Vacations are for working stiffs. I'm retired.
Damn. My biggest regrets are failing to place a hyphen between "combat" and "vet" and seeing you transcribe the error.
Boy, your co-workers at the Piggly-Wiggly laugh behind your back because they know the best part of you oozed down your momma's scabby legs, don't they?
Except the part where I was beaten until deaf in 1 ear at age 6 by a broke, twice-widowed, alcoholic, combat vet father, changed schools 12 times K-12, moved out at 17, graduated night school, wed at 22 and worked 2 jobs all my adult life to make a better one for my wife of 44 years and our 3 kids.

My friends are real. We hosted 35 on Sunday. None were addicted to dopamine.
Oh, little Mikey. I'm retired after being gainfully employed for 49 years. There were times I worked two or three jobs simultaneously to pay my way through college, purchase two homes and put 3 kids through college debt free. The best revenge, after all, is living well.
It's a democracy. You have a long way to go before a majority will agree with your position. In other words, you have a metric shit-ton of work to do to win hearts and minds. But is it the right fight? Women, the American majority, don't even have equal rights. Come for me when you have the votes.
Oh, youngster. I'm watching whales dance from the second-floor lanai of my vacation home in Kihei, Maui, and having the best time goading Trump-humping incels and Russian trolls posing as trans allies. The best revenge, after all, is living well.
A transphobic says what?
There's chunks of people like you in my dog's scat.
Have you stopped choking your chicken?
Because 2.5 children is literally impossible.
That's a question best answered by your boyfriend.
"Yell" yourself, Don.
Just spitballing here. But if you truly wish to know, you might direct that question to Hunter. He's punching up at Taylor for her wealth and fame. If he were to direct his vitriol at a one-hit wonder, for example, no one would read his posts.
Actually, just one. Your buddy in the mirror hardly counts.
Agreed. Dems need to wind up and figuratively punch the Grand Old Pedophiles where it hurts the most - in the hypocrisy.
Lying liar telling lies. The California Interscholastic Federation, with Newsom's blessing, allowed a trans human to compete in the 2025 girls high school state high jump final. www.oregonlive.com/sports/2025/...

Trans people make up 1 percent of the U.S. population, a statistically irrelevant number in a national election. There is no reliable way to gauge how many trans people vote or who they vote ror. It's not like there is an organized Trans Party. But, hey, keep banging that drum, weirdo.
A toilet-gilder says what?
Both of them. Right?
When has Gavin Newsom ever missed your vote?
Glad to see you admit it. Now, perhaps, you will find time to do some of the investigative journalism you mention prominently in your handle. Imagine the fame and gratitude you would receive if you obtained and released the 10,000 pages of Epstein files held by the Justice Department.
Call it what you wish. But it would be a big man who admitted to exploiting a talented woman's popularity to gain traction online.
I don't want to hear "thoughts and prayers from smarmy GOP pols when schoolchildren are literally getting gunned down church pews.
The cad doth protest too much, methinks. Is it because she's beautiful and talented and you're neither?
Only fools trust a code-switching Republican.
I don't miss the stench from that homeless encampment nearly as much as I miss the mental institutions closed during the Reagan administration. Typical GOP. Create a problem then blame the victims.
You would think my two college degrees and 35-year print journalism career supports your supposition. But, no, felons and adjudicated rapists deserve precisely what they get. Had any of the girls he raped been my child, I would have called upon lessons learned as a college wrestler to avenge her.
Or maybe, just maybe, American consumers are all stocked up on cheap imported goods and increasingly turned off by overpriced groceries.
This is a tired argument. "It's not what he said, but how he said it." The Mango Mussolini is a bully. The are only two cures for bullying, a punch in the puss or relentless mockery. Gavin is being a gentleman. Any decent military brat would have already cold cocked him.
Let me put this in a way the average MAGAt can understand. She is intelligent, successful and black. He's stupid, racist and a fraud. Done.
The Mango Mussolini starts a movement every day -- in his Depends.
Is it time to admit that El Nino's power has cratered since his "ringworm medicine" suspension? A clean El Niño is a weak El Niño. @padres.com
Sure, Richie Garcia missed a call. But Mark Langston didn't need to throw the next pitch to Tino Martinez right down the middle.
I admit to being a fan of the losingest MLB team since 1969. In fact, 'm old enough to remember when it was permitted to bring beer into Jack Murphy Stadium for Padres games as long as it was in a plastic container. But I can't remember the Padres winning more than one World Series game. Can you?
Embrace the suck! @padres.com
What a pussy.
I'm so old I can remember playing cops and robbers with capguns free of worry that real cops would gun me down. .
Honesty is treason in a kingdom of lies.
A lot of good that did us.
My wife and I raised up our three children in California to be fully participating members of society. It wasn't hard. It was tedious -- just like anything else you are obliged to do every day. Maybe it helped that my wife and I weren't driven to accumulate enormous wealth.
I am so old I remember when telephones were stationary and we didn't miss them when we left home.
The typeface is hard to read.
Talk about your money for nothing and chicks for free.
Funny how the spirits never contacted me until I got a hummingbird feeder for my birthday a few years ago and started keeping it filled with sugar water. Now the spirits almost never shut up.
Everything tastes salty when you are an osprey.
Like in Canada, a civilized country.
Gods are like that - capricious pricks. Don't "believe" me? Just ask Job's first wife and their children.

I'm so old, I can remember spitting watermelon seeds.
Offering anonymity to politicians so that they will speak "candidly" is one journalistic norm that's got to go.
I am so old I can remember H. Ross Perot trying this same gambit and failing miserably.
My daughter asked why I leave the cellphone behind when I leave home. I answered, "When Orwell wrote 1984, even he didn't imagine a dystopia where human beings could so easily be conned into buying and carrying around the technology Big Brother uses to track them.
Thoughts and prayers?

I am so old I remember turning 18 when I was a high school senior in Hawaii and getting smashed for the first time legally in a bar on Waikiki. I also remember going to college in San Diego, where I learned the drinking age in California was 21.
I'm so old I can remember riding to school in the back of the Old Master Chief's pickup truck.
The bombings will stop when morale improves.

I'm so old I can remember paying $1 and standing in line outside a circus tent just to see a tattooed lady.
