Who's this "we" he speaks of? I seriously doubt Charlie Kirk is adding any children to the "outbreed" pool. In the game of FMK, that bobblehead is a total K. Every. Single. Time.
Forced to retire (disability), I'm a former farmer, carpentry contractor, teacher, and software QA guy. I want what's best for everyone, from a humanitarian perspective.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
On my way from W Central MN to a music gig in Two Harbors (on Superior's North Shore). There was an anti-fascist protest along Division St in St. Cloud, which boosted my spirits. Fav sign - "Save science: It's like magic, only real."
If only he would walk away. He's lighting the nation on fire so he can claim that he has to stay in power because only he can put the fires out.

I gave my wife to Christ in the Cracker Barrel parking lot.
Dobson is dead. Good.
Yeah well come to find out the vaunted "Nation of Laws" was little more than a loose collection of norms, mores, and mien for those with a sense of etiquette, and all it takes is one catastrophically uncouth malignant narcissist to mow all that shit down and pave over it as if it were a rose garden.
I'll bet good money that they've already successfully reduced the number of tourist visas being issued.
It's MAGA, so it'll for sure be a troll road.
It’s about racism and pretending it’s not about racism will not magically erase the racism
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.
Spending tax money to actively dishonor innocent victims of a hate crime - sadly on point for the hateful proponents of MAGA.
How to spend an hour with ICE ⏰ TikTok: TikTok.com/@hellopedrochavez
If Trump's going to heaven, then I have no interest. I will volunteer for hell.
When someone openly rejects human dignity and public decency, it should tell you all you need to know about them.
Carry a shotgun to a protest of Trump's DC military takeover, or to an ICE protest, and just watch how fast that policy gets abandoned.
That's how it works when one lets beliefs define their "facts," as opposed to doing the logical thing and letting facts dictate what one believes.
Using Chat GTP to exert the least possible effort to support Donald's inane quest for a "Noble" Peace Prize.
Hoagie assault guy, if convicted, will be punished more strongly than J6 folks who beat police officers with poles and other objects and are now walking free (and probably joining CBP)
Worse yet, they often understand that "woke" is synonymous with kindness and basic human decency, but that's just something they don't want to participate in.
Any chance that chainsaw thing'll be on pay-per-view? Or how much it might cost? I only ask in case I'd need to cash out some¹ of my retirement funds. 1. Or all. Let's be honest here - it it took "all," it'd be money well spent.
If I had to guess, I'd say that sub is toast(ed). But it was for a good cause, its demise was not in vain.
National Guard deployed to protect the Epstein Files.
I couldn't agree more - either with your conclusions, or with Massachusetts l̶e̶s̶b̶i̶a̶n̶ Gov. Maura Healey's actions. Being a 65 YO cis male doesnt preclude me from being an ally, or from supporting every individual's right to self-determination, personal freedom, equality and dignity.
What's the over/under on whether he'll ask for permission first? Wait, what? Oops, my bad. I thought you said feel up.
And yet, there may be an entire universe inside a single cell in my fingernail. "Can I buy some pot from you?"
Thats only because she's on Elon Musk levels of drugs.
I don't mind when they make another in a long line of decisions they'll regret. I mind a lot when they make decisions we'll all have to suffer through and regret.
Who would ever have thought that you could go so authoritarian that you lost the WSJ?
I wish all the people who voted for this misery could be segregated into their own little "Utopia," surrounded only by people just like them, bereft of empathy, generosity, and sense of community spirit. I'll bet they'd still find a way to categorize some as "different," and try to get rid of them.
Not every hero wears a cape. If you presented a fine cape to the hero of this story, they'd probably never wear it - they'd be too busy cutting it into small squares to be used in stitch signs, so they could extend their network across more territory.
You are clearly a beautiful dreamer, but, um, no.
That's what I came to say. I mean, that's the policy conclusion they want colleges to arrive at.
Lisa Kudrow nailed it! This was the best Republican impersonation I have ever seen, I was even getting upset thinking this was real. Love it!
You can tell that how? You must have magical powers beyond dickishness if you can discern my level of construction knowledge and ability to convey that knowledge from this exchange.
You started it. I'm just returning the serve.
It actually means friendly and easy to get along with, while you seem to think it's synonymous with "dickish."
There's never a way to have the conversation which most people refuse to even contemplate participating in.
So you're an arrogant a-hole online but a great guy IRL? Got it.
I suspect that Pritzker and Abbott will be saving money by not sitting down for a friendly beer and idle chitchat at the '26 National Governors Assoc. meeting, lol.
As always, the rich get incentives to improve, while the poor get punished for not having improved enough. I'm beginning to think that capitalism, fully matured, is very little different than feudalism.
PS - Do you even know what 'affable' means?
Yeah, well, a person who knows how to read a room will never talk about inequality and injustice because bad things make people uncomfortable, so then they shoot the messenger. As you just did.
He might well be doing it under direct, explicit orders.
There's not none, but it's definitely in very limited supply. Witness the War on Woke, when woke at its core is nothing more - or less - than basic human decency toward others, i.e., an outward display of empathy.
It's baffling. To me, it's somewhat synonymous with those who support the Trump regime's actions and are then shocked when they find that Medicaid cuts, benefit reductions, tariff price increases, ICE arrests, etc., dont apply just to 'other' people, but also to them and/or their spouses/families.
🤣 Whattaya gonna do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tragically, this may well be an accurate description of this Cabal of Kooks actual reasoning.
Hegseth, like virtually every member of Trump's Cabinet, is a fundamental danger to freedom and democracy.
Sadly, I believe you've nailed it.
Mike Flood needs to quit using the title "Representative," as he clearly has no respect for his constituents nor any will to represent them. He could start using a title that's right next door in the dictionary. "Sycophant," would be far more accurate and fitting.
That would be really nice! They could all sit on her front porch, sip vodka, and gaze at Russia while discussing how richly the war criminal aggressor should be rewarded for his crimes.
Give a spineless, grifting sycophant like Vance a little whiff of the heady stench of uncontrolled power, and you'd be amazed at how fluid his firm convictions turn out to be.
Eff George Will. The "I know everything," guy was instrumental in getting us to this point.
You seem very committed to the avoidance of admitting a mistake. Data is data, wherever one sits while analyzing it. People accurately analyze data from afar all the time - just ask a Nasa Mars scientist. Please explain what part of her data and analysis of said data is incorrect.
All true...
Well, can they afford a cheap apartment in NYC, lol
LOL
Like backing up your argument with factual data is somehow an embarrassing weakness, lol.
Yeah, we knew.
Exactly, and the most rudimentary reading comprehension would have made that clear.
Gavin Newsom can be reliably counted upon to do what he sees as best for Gavin Newsom's presidential aspirations and candidate coffers.
It's probably just dumb luck that he didn't phrase it as, "Pretty fly for a white guy, stink like a bee."
Read. Her. Comment. Again. One would think that you, of all people, would perhaps look at the entirety of the comment and its meaning, rather than choosing words out of context in some sort of "gotcha."
That works! Or maybe, "My Kink is Karla?"
She didn't call it "cheap." She said it was "cheap for the area," but still unaffordable. Reading comprehension matters
To be fair, it's only a matter of time before he covers one of her songs.
When they're that terrified of you, you hold some power. Use it.
The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men
Texas Rep. Gene Wu (D) - "So either Governor Abbott is just a complete buffoon and doesn't know what basic law is, or he's just doing this as a political stunt and using it to lie to the American public." I say, "Bingo," except that I don't think it's either/or, rather both.
Gee, that's odd. She said every call was answered. Surely, she wouldn't lie!
It's Saturday, so probably "yospa" day - yoga in the morning, then spa to recover in the afternoon. And, be sure not to miss dinner, it's lobster and steak night!
I wish I was still in Raleigh. A Sunday sermon from an actual, acting Christian would be an excellent reason to spend a couple of days along the Blue Ridge.
Remote locations in Quebec sound sooooo inviting r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶n̶o̶w̶ for the next 3½ years.
You didn't damage anything. Would this not be protected free speech? You should consider talking to the ACLU re: your defense in court, and also about getting your lasers back.
Eff that! Give away Alabama and Arkansas. That would improve the economic and education standards of both countries!
Under-rated comment.
Serving Putin's interests are a byproduct of Trump serving his own interests - he's trying to ensure that the kompromat, i.e., pee tapes, are never released.
Trump thinks Zelenskyy should help prove that "might makes right?" That the aggressor should be rewarded? I think Trump believes that Zelenskyy is as lacking in courage and moral clarity as he himself is.
It's not how we did things back when we were a nation of laws. Tragically, it's how we now do things under our Lord and Savior, King Trump.
MN needs to join AZ and become a non-cooperator re: jail cell provision.
What, exactly, is your problem with facts? The info provided by "data lady" certainly doesn't support Cuomo's position. She's pointing out that, as yet, even "affordable housing" isnt affordable for many, perhaps even most people.
Mrs. Betty Bowers can be relied upon for hilarious - and bitingly accurate - snark. If you're not following her, you should be!
It would probably take a lot of eff'd up raids to get fired because, as I said, desperate. For proof, I offer up Dean Cain.
Now that they've removed the upper age limit for recruitment (because they're not at all desperate), I'm thinking I (65) might join ICE and "accidentally" eff up as many raids as possible before getting fired.
When it's right out in the open, is it still considered a grift?
“My family was interred in the Minidoka internment camp in Idaho,” Cain said. “That was a horrible injustice, but I don’t think that I deserve any sort of reparations.” Dean Cain is one who lets politics control his thinking rather than having thinking define his politics.
Kennedy is a danger to us all, as is virtually everybody in this administration.
Yup, one at the start, one after "can," and one at the beginning of "cer." It's that "cc" in the middle that really gives "canccer" its bounce.
I'm shocked. I thought JD was the one person in the Trump cabal who would never lie to us. /s
Yes, let's forcibly understaff NASA, then accelerate plans to put a nuclear reactor on the moon. What could possibly go wrong?
That's all fine and well for the long term. In the short term, we have to try to ensure that democracy survives in order to have anything to nurture.
Find God? If you're a reflection of what God intends, I'll take my chances elsewhere. If Jesus weeps, it's people like you who cause him to do so.
Also, why are you so ashamed of your own opinions that you have to remain anonymous? What are you afraid of?
I didn't say "racist" because I don't like to waste time stating the obvious. What independent research have you undertaken? Give me one example. (Watching a segment on Fox News doesn't count.)
Hatred and cruelty for the sake of hatred and cruelty - in that sense, Hegseth fits perfectly into the broader Trump administration. Who could have ever guessed that picking a low-level TV personality as SECDEF would turn out this badly?
You're a hateful person who's been poisoned by the lies told by Fox News. Of course, you were eager to lap those lies up, so they're not totally to blame. It's so sad that your father fought for justice in WWII, only for his son or daughter to become a hateful bigot.
Wet toilet tissue.
It's all done to curry favor with a sick, demented old man and a movement/party that values them only for their looks and situational utility. They'll soon be discarded, left alone to ponder their voluntary disfigurement.
