Remember the Park51 community center that got billed on FOX News as "the mosque within a stone's throw of ground zero?" It's hard to take these people serious, but then a critical mass of them get elected to positions of power.

People defending Tuberville are adequately discredited by the fact that they're defending Tuberville.

A tweet from Heritage Foundation "economist" Stephen Moore on March 3 that reads:

Oil spiked just 8% after Iran’s attack, not $80-$100 as predicted, because the U.S. is producing record-breaking 13.6M barrels/day.

Thank God for “Drill Baby Drill.”

Just a thought, but, what if Mullen would tell them to take off their face masks, drive their marked vehicles, and stop acting so shamefully they need to hide?

I think at one point Musk was trying to back out of buying Twitter and some tech bros and Saudis were like, no, buy this and you get to define reality for a hoard of halfwits. That's some real power. And make an AI agent while you're at it.

Vital Desalination Plants in Iran and Bahrain Are Attacked

How is a desalination plant a military target? Didn't Trump claim we aren't attacking the Iranian people?

Well, I was a kid. I was a relatively good athlete, and a pretty good student, but I stuttered.

Now, if I told you all earlier, when I was a kid, I had a cleft palate or club foot, none of you would have laughed, but it's okay to laugh at stuttering. I'm not being critical of you, but think about it. It's the one place where people think you're stupid. Oh, really? I'm hell of lot smarter than most of you. Well, all kidding aside, it makes you feel really small, makes you feel really small.

I think the real issue for him is that she didn't act as a heat shield for him. When Congress is asking pointed questions, his cabinet members are supposed to take the heat themselves and not ever say "Trump approved this" even (or especially) if he did.

Apparently, some are still going through immigration court and don't have a final deportation order, so CBP wants to hold them in extremely unpleasant conditions to encourage them to give up their legal appeals and volunteer for deportation.

State Department orders nonprofit libraries to stop processing passport applications The State Department has ordered nonprofit public libraries to stop taking passport applications, cutting off a popular local service.

Not sure why they would do this unless it's connected with their plans for messing with the 2026 election.

He's really cut back on that as his hands have gotten all bruised and bloated. But as soon as he's got gloves on, there he goes.

Give the guy a pair of gloves and he's back to playing the invisible accordion. I think he's gonna start wearing gloves full time, even in the summer. It'll become just another part of his weird aesthetic.

Poe's law originated in a 2005 discussion on christianforums.com, an Internet forum on Christianity. The message was posted during a debate on creationism, where a previous poster had remarked to another user: "Good thing you included the winky. Otherwise people might think you are serious."[4]

In a reply, forum member Nathan Poe suggested "Poe's Law":[1]

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

Taking one large step back from this, maybe we shouldn't have:
1) declared corporate political spending a first-amendment right
2) constructed a for-profit information system that incentivizes rage-bait content over truth

That's how we end up with right-wing podcasters in charge.
