I won't post an image, but I find it hysterical that since George W. Bush, Republican men haven't been able to hold their arms normally in photos. They all turn their palms back (rather than facing their legs like a normal person). They think it makes them look bigger and tougher. Pathetic losers.

When I was in grad school, my TV antenna pulled in a station from another time zone, so I could watch Jeopardy! an hour before anyone else. Then I'd watch it with others and somehow knew all the answers.

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Unfortunately thanks to protestant work ethic people have learned to fear above all anyone getting something they personally feel wasn’t earned. They’ll spend $50 to prevent $1 reaching “undeserving” hands. They’ll pay luxury prices for needless cruelty and call it thrift.

Kid Rock’s song about loving underage girls resurfaces ahead of TPUSA Super Bowl show:
“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.”
His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”
