The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

I wouldn't have had to explain to my child why our neighbor was kidnapped and spirited away over incredibly mild protected speech?

Also today's kids versions of I love Lucy and Dick Van Dyke are "That 70s show" and "Malcom in the middle."

I Love Lucy representa a cultural look back to today's kids that was unavailable to us.

Beware this fake Musk post (even though it might sound plausible!)

Really leaning into being known as the pronouns-in-bio site by replacing a female CEO named Jay with a male CEO named Toni.

I feel like there is a lot of missing the satire going on...

You can't claim with a straight face that the time we use for 4mos of the year is the superior time.

Its a farcical argument akin to being a NIMBY. "I support not changing clocks as long as we choose the less popular calibration."

Changing clocks is brutal. It is the dumbest thing we do.

We're now on a superior schedule that gives us longer days.

Imagine if we never messed with the clocks ever again?

Imagine if we did what the smart Canadians and others have done?

We can have peace. We can have day.

You gotta squat down and show some butt crack while grunting as well.

Take lots of pictures of everything as you disassemble and you'll be fine.

This was prior to EVs being a thing too. There is a whole class of drivers who won't feel any increase in costs until electricity rates change. (Which will happen on a much slower timeline.)

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Yes, Trump’s Homeland Security Pick Tried to Start a Literal Fight at a Senate Hearing. But There’s So Much More. Trying to fight a hearing witness is on the list of Markwayne Mullin's wildest moments, but it might not be the top.

So whats the deal wirh Markwayne Mullin?

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

I'm relatively dark skinned Italian and had a full beard when 9/11 happened. There were people wo made jokes about me looking like a terrorist everytime I saw them for over a decade. I was stopped "randomly" by TSA everytime I flew until at least 2010. Other people I flew with would always comment.
