Okay, this seems bad, but before we judge him too harshly, let’s at least hear what he has to say when he’s a guest on the Gavin Newsom podcast.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

I think I'm also going to send an invoice along with my opt-out. Let's see: 40 million users who had access to ""my"" bad writing advice (per Grammarly themselves) x 220ish days that Expert Review has been live x a very modest $0.01 per day per user....

Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.

Jesus Christ

I’ve kinda assumed your civilian identity is a punk musician for ages, just because you’ve always had an overall punk vibe.

US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”

US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

Two turntables and a microphone.

They can't hear you, Lindsey. They're dead.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

Secretary Wright tweeted that the US Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, a headline that got blasted out across all the wire services.

And then he promptly deleted the tweet.

Has anyone heard about a class action to deal with this?

I’m not in a position to watch so spoil it for me: Have they found the catch yet? Do we know how they’re cheating?

I’d bet good money the beginning of John Wick and the inexplicable final fight scene with the mob boss were insisted on by the studio. Neither fits the theme of the rest of the movie, and also John Wick just killed like 50 thugs and assassins, why is a fist fight against a mid-50s manager hard.

First, my ONE complaint about John Wick is that it starts at the end. I HATE that. It’s never worked, not one time. I don’t know why they keep doing it.

Second, modern action movies exist solely to set up the final battle/fight/whatever, so both the fight and the movie preceding it feel pointless.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in the Constitution that says we can’t recall Senators, right? It says how they’re selected and how vacancies are filled but I don’t think it says that we can’t create vacancies. Because, god, I want nothing more than a recall election for @adamschiff.com.

I know not every Senator can be a front-bencher leading charges and making moves, but I would hope that @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov would at least make an effort since they represent more people than like a dozen other Senators combined.

Hey @schiff.senate.gov, you unbelievable poser, you absolute halfwit, you useless waste of a Senate seat, maybe you could at least try acting as tough on the Senate floor as you talk on MSNBC or whatever stupid name they have now? Just once try to walk the talk, just to see how it feels?

Flashback to the 2024 Republican National Convention 👇🏽

Opinion | By killing schoolchildren en masse, we are giving Iranians the freedom and liberty that Americans have enjoyed in Littleton, Newtown, Parkland, and Uvalde.

See, this is what I want from my government.

Wait, if the first one was 3001 and the 1,000th was 4690, what happened to the 689 other cars? Or does the numbering mean something other than being a serial number?

Shoutout to the Raiders for somehow not having to eat the, what, $18 million cap hit? They were 100% going to cut him so I’m not sure why the Jets were that eager but good for O̶a̶k̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ L̶o̶s̶ ̶A̶n̶g̶e̶l̶e̶s̶ O̶a̶k̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ Vegas.

A text message from 1-703-656-9889: Matt: What's your stance on what is happening in Iran? I'm looking for honest answers from Patriots in 85254: [link]

This is one of three screenshots of a long page. At the top is a photo of Mike Pompeo labeled “From the desk of Mike Pompeo” with the logo for CAVPAC, which stands for Champion American Values. The text says: Friend, I just stepped off the set of an interview with Fox News, where I discussed the implications of Operation Epic Fury in Iran. We are at a "Go Time" moment for the defense of Western civilization, and Team CAVPAC is leading the charge to ensure this victory isn't squandered by mealy-mouthed politicians.

Continued from the previous screenshot, this is 2 of 3: This evil regime has been decimated, but as I told Harris Faulkner, that doesn't mean this is over. The Islamic Republic is looking for a last gasp effort to strike back—potentially through cyberattacks or terrorism. This isn't just America's fight - and this isn't a war we can fight defensively, as some in Washington and European capitals are advocating. I want to hear directly from you. As I lead Team CAVPAC, your opinions on our Iran strategy are vital to our mission. Please share your thoughts below: Before we dive into the strategy, would you consider joining Team CAVPAC as a National Security Partner? At CAVPAC, we fight every day to Champion American Values and ensure "Peace Through Strength" remains our national doctrine. Your support of $25, $50, or even $100 fuels our ability to bypass the media's narrative and pressure Washington to keep the "Maximum Pressure" on our enemies.

The third of three screenshots, this includes three poll questions: 1. Do you agree that we must maintain "Maximum Pressure" until the Iranian threat is neutralized for good? Options are yes, no, and unsure. 2. Are you concerned that "weak" and "anemic" leadership from our allies puts American families at risk? The options are yes and no. 3. Do you believe American strength is the only thing keeping our enemies from striking our homeland? The answers are yes and no.

Some jerk named Matt made a typo in his phone number so I get hard right text spam. Here’s what they’re telling people about Iran!

And yes, the submit button for the “survey” and the donate button are the same. You can’t answer without including money.
