I despise the Eagles, but I’d be fine if Harrison Butker missed a game-winning field goal.

Why TF would you vote for someone who is even MORE pro Israel than Biden???

To all the fascists and bootlickers who trust Elon and his cohorts, are you willing to give them your Social Security number and bank account number?

My first thought reading this too. Imagine having the power to save your kind from dying and not doing it.

As an American, this makes me proud of my fellow humans north of the border. 🇨🇦

American here. Is the Nazi salute even allowed in Canada? I think there are different restrictions on hate speech there vs. here, but I don’t know the specifics.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers!

The Substance: How TF did that get nominated for best picture?

Hmm, are those doric columns or are you just happy to see me?

Just a heads up: the idiot can’t end FEMA with a stroke of a pen. It was created by a law, and it’ll take a law to end it.

People have their political views, and they’ll mold their religion around those to justify those views. Sad, but true.

To all my neighbors: a friendly wave from the car is not an invitation to walk into my driveway and start a conversation.

State and local governments can’t be compelled to enforce federal law. See Printz v. United States (1997) and Prigg v. Pennsylvania (1842)

My wife too. She’s obsessed with it

Remember when Republicans called Obama a tyrant because he dared to sign executive orders? Trump signs one to try to undo a constitutional provision, and they’re totally cool with it.

Yeah, a Nazi flag

That’s Uvalde, in the western part of the state. People in the west generally have a more laidback attitude. If this person lived in East Texas, it would be a very different article.

Not surprised at all.

My Con Law class. Had the students fill out a notecard with their info on it. One question was pronouns, to which one student responded, “I’m a guy. It’s obvious.”

I asked them whether they had taken an American Government course. His response: “No—self-taught.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is rarefied air: the Chiefs are only the fourth team to repeat as Super Bowl champions and make it to the conference championship in the third year. 1976 Steelers, 1990 49ers, and 1994 Cowboys all lost their championship games.

Regarding the Equal Rights Amendment, here are the legal issues:
1 Congress put a deadline on ratification. Can it do that?

2 Some states have rescinded ratification of the amendment. Can they do that?

If no/no, then the ERA is the 28th Amendment. If yes/no no/yes, no ERA

You remember when Shania was with the Bangles and they sang that song about Monday that was written by Michael Jackson?

It’ll have a permanent banner that says “Mission NOT Accomplished”

Who would want it? The most scrutinized team in the league with a meddling owner. No way.

The family’s transition to full Minnesotan might be complete. My wife just said, “It’s already 14 degrees.”

Not there anymore but used to live there. That amount of snow will shut the city down for two days. Enjoy it!
